For Second Semester
Gamecock Teams Gain Glory In Many Fields;
Birds Put Up Tough Battles To Opposition
BASKETBALL-A close tie between the Maryland, Georgia Tech
and Clemson games played in the field house. That last minute
comeback against the Ramblin' Wrecks was as sensational an ex
hibition of ring hitting as the Thompson boy's feats. Lanny Lof
dahl's performances in the Maryland and Clemson battles were noth
ing short of magnificent. The Whirling Derv just couldn't be
stopped.
* * * * *
BOXING-The Southern Conference of course was the classiest
thing this side of Mason and Dixon's ancient demarcation. Clemson
took just about everything, but who could overlook Sol Blatt's
dark horse ride through the toughest competition in the 135 pound
class to that last minute knockout of Maryland's Askin, and Olin
McDonald's bloody trail through the 120 pound class.
* * * * *
BASEBALL-Without a doubt, the Clemson game on Melton
Field was the best exhibition. The Birds went to pieces in the
eighth, but that last inning comeback was beautiful to see, even if
it did fall one run short.
* * * * *
TRACK-The dual meet with Clemson was tops. Little and Mc
Fadden had it out, with the Tiger and injury coming out on top.
Little's exhibition of courage and stamina was the outstanding track
performance in the state.
* * * * *
TENNIS-Who can doubt that the Clemson victory was our
greatest accomplishment of the entire year? Sara Rushton showed
the male sex how it is done, and proved there is nothing to the
ancient Tiger jinx.
* * * * *
GOLF-Creason says the matches with Augusta Junior College
were the best of the year, but that tie with Citadel was the top per
formance frorn-the Gamecock standpoint. Sure-the Birds tied the
state champs.
