ON THEI SIDELINES BY PAUL BARRETT Athletic-Minded Students By Swarms Busiest 300 yards on the Carolina campus these afternoons is that stretch from Melton field t.o the University field house. Until the re-sown sodded baseball diamond is ready for play next week Coach Vernon Smith is putting his crew of hopefuls through their daily paces on Melton field. Although little heavy work is being done, pitching candidates are ironing the kinks out of their wings, out- f, fielders are cavorting about the lower end of the gridiron gathering n in flies, while the infield prospects work to perfect their fielding a ability. 0 "Next week we'll get down to real work," says Coach Smith. And f when a baseball mentor talks like that can spring be far behind? t * * * * Enright Makes Debut Tomorrow h f. On an adjacent practice field next season's hopes for a successful b grid machine are working out under the direction of Rex Enright, b Ted Twomey, and Smith. Tomorrow afternoon a full sixty minute ti game will be dished up on Melton field for the edification of fol- " lowers of the Garnet and Black. r From here it looks like several rising sophomores are moving up to places on the first string for next fall. Dewitt Arrowsmith in the t backfield, Alex Urban at tackle, Stan Nowak at end, and Joe Hat kovitch at guard seem to fit into the Notre Dame type of play being t installed by Enriglit, et al. Carl 1ughes, who sojourned briefily at o Purdue before stopping here, is calling them from the quarterback N slot. s< Ilatkovitch is kicking up plenty of dust as interfering guard for the backs, and is expected to show plenty of stuff when September E rolls around and Erskine comes to Columbia to open the Gamecock e schedule. Ed Clary is bringing smiles to the faces of the coaches q and Athletic Director Bill Harth as he puts plenty of yards between a the end of his cleated shoe and the place where the ball strikes the ai turf. SI * * * * Ci t( Two-Job Bristow Works Around * Around these two squads Coach Gilbert Bristow works his Bird cinder team, as well as the Columbia high outfit. With time try- n outs having been run last Saturday and the first dual meet scheduled I for the last of this month, the speedsters are working steadily to get into shape. Each week prospects for the team seem hrighter, and when spring football is concluded the full strength of the squad is expected to be reached. As with other spring sports, men now re porting for football are being expected to complete the roster. In the gym and field house the fraternities and tenement groups S are indulging in a little intra-mural basketball. When they aren't t holding the floor, Ted Petoskey 's 1939 basketball hopes do a bit of spring practice of their own, while Petoskey himself takes a rest h before heading for Florida and baseball with the Toronto Maple leafs. Other equally industrious young men are getting into train- n ing for the intra-mural boxing matches scheduled for the end of the ? month. * * * * I1.4 Answer To Students' Prayers-New Nets Across the campus aspirants for the tennis team are busy swing- t ing rackets and attempting to supplant some of their teammates on , a higher rung of the ladder. Newv nets for all the courts on tile campus and new clay for the ~ varsity playing grounids are the ordler of the day according to athlet- 2 ic authorities. Even though they might not read this corner, we J asked for them several weeks past, if we may say so.I s * * * * t McCallister Brothers Come A' Visiting In town for a little while this week were Don McCallister and ~ Brother Bill. Don moves into Vermont A pril 1 to take over the ri~cns at Norwich University, a military institution. Bill, reports say, Is not entering any school this semester after considering Southern I Cal andl Fordlham. As he(ad of the physeal educaction department andl head football coach at the Northifield post Don will probably receive about the same salary as lie dlid here. * * * * What Others Say: Dick Baxter: "If I get the wrappings off this bum hand within the next week or so, look for me at Charlottesville in the national initercol legiates."' Capers McCravey: ''This right wing of mine feels mighty good now." A. W. ''Rock'' Norman (unofficially) : ''Sims, Citadel freshman court flash, is the finest performer I have seen."

STEWARD'S HALU A Gentleman's Cafeteria WOMAN'S CAF1!TERIA Where Friends Meet lV - sum ./urn 14 EP DDERS AME SA irtain: First I Ted Twomey ihow Pro )d Track Bristow Takes - Active Charge of Tracksters Track prospects, discouragingly dim before practice began this year, have brightened up considerably as the first dual meet of the season draws near for University of South Carolina cin der burners. The appearance of Marvin Arm strong, who last year won the intra mural broad and high jump events, has strengthened hopes in this di vision. In practice, Armstrong has been making jumps of 21 feet and over. Bernard Cormack, half-miler, has improved steadily in workouts this year. Earlier in the season he turned in 2:10 for a practice half. Yester day. he lowered this mark by 2 sec onds. With continued coaching and work, Cormack seems slated for still faster time. Louis Gilland and Billy Cormack, Carolina's milers, have been turning in good, though not exceptional, time consistently. In trials last Saturday, Gilland came home in 4:56, while Cormack was close behind with 5:07. Marion Davis, another product of intra-murals, is running the 2-mile race with Myers. So far, Davis has turned in better performances in prac tice than his team mate. Davis' time in the recent trials was 11 :39. At p)resent, Stokes Randall and Johnny Campbell are the only can ty didates for berths in the high hurdle ke division. In the lowv hurdles Robert dShaw and Larry Gall are leading ni threats. 32, Fletcher Spigner and Guy Lips n- comb are the outstanding men in the javelin, discus, and weights thus far. Lipscomb has not .been working out X- extensiv'ely this season, having recently nd recoveredl from an illness wvhich kept h- him off the basketball floor several en weeks. ke 'Track fans got a preview of the track squad last Saturday afternoon ng in roal- ~ ~ n he ia a C. 22, ide or cy.............. a SPECIAL DISPLAY N.. ?950 STANDARD .1t CAasURETOa $1.25 Y OUR deale Shas this big ,ment of 1938 Yell - styles - see it ( tdYello-Bole was TANGLE TURDAY Lct t Vernon Smith Courtesy Columbia Record spects Season when varsity and freshman track trials were run off on Melton field.
