intra-M 'BULL' wit 'BULL by LEONARD TURNBULL Spring Sports Menu Opens Monday Come Monday evening and the Gamecock supporters will get their first taste of baseball as the spring sports get under way. The travel minded Michigan State squad will furnish the first opposition for the Gamecock nine. Around five Bird sopho more stars will get their first taste of varsity horsehide compe tition. Veteran hurler Joe Grugan will probably get the starting assignment on the mound for the Gaiecocks as he attempts to set the Staters down in the order they appear at the bat. Plenty of capable reserve aces will be ready to back Grugan up. Twirl ers from the ranks of last year's squad are George Crawford and southpaw Leonard Kanian. Also held in reserve will be several sophomore pitching sen sations who have only to get experience in collegiate competi tion. Waldo Hyman, of Florence, has tossed the baseball since swaddling clothes time and has plenty of experience in Ameri can Legion and semi-pro ball. Ray Player and Marcus Stark are .also former ace American Legion pitchers and will help Petoskey no little bit when the going gets tough. Ace Catcher Prediction Behind the bat finds two veterans and one soplhoiore bat tling for the starting position. Graham Rhoden seems to be the class of the lot, and is back this year to repeat his last spring's brilliant campaign which saw him emerge as the top hitter for the Bird crew. Keeping close tab on Rhoden and watching for an openimg to jiuii) into the starting assiginment is Joe Patrone. Joe caught regular ball during the 1939 caipaign, but was ousted from the catching slot last season as Petoskey moved him to first base. Bruce Tate, sophomore ace, is also scrapping for the catching position. The infield of the Bird nine will find three sophomores and one veteran facing the competition. lleading the list is returning veteran Junie IIlvmson. Jtinie is returning for his third year of varsity play and promises to make it his best. Van Earl Fillingim, Jr. is currently prancing around third base po sition. At shortstop is Caryle llolliday, and at first base is Ken Roskie. The candidates in the outfield are: Earl Dunham and "Bis cuits" Coman in left field, Angelo DeMario and William Ou1t law in center field, and John Leitner and Daily Harris placed in the right field slot. Girl Athletes Barred A special cominittee on athletics went into a huddle the past week and caie out with a, decision that aroised a storm of pro test from some, quarters. I speak of their ruling out of all girls from inter-collegiate conpetition in sports dominated by boys. Some say if the girls are goodl enough to oust the boys from their sports then let 'em go. Others defer that it is a slam on the men at Carolina and keep) 'em out. Th~Ie girls can't even have another football game, or some other ladly-like sport dual now. The girls no doubt were taking over some of the boys positions, andl were dloing all right--them (lays are gone forever. Bird Gridders Close Spring Sessions Last Saturday saw the collegiate gridiron Birds close out the annual spring practice sessions, and sigh of relief was heard emanating from the coaching sto' as the turf tearers didn't show the BAM club mnembers jo .nuch, thereby not putting the Bird mentors on the weh inown spot for the 41 season. Up at Clemson Coach IIoward sent his regulars against the lowly scrubs and the final headache for the score keeper r'an somewhat like 71-0 for the regulars. I don't know what that shows but those IPTtay members are going to expect something out of Howard next fall, and some grumbling might be heard if he don't come through. The BAM club is really behind the forces of Enright and1 Co.. Last Saturday they turned out about 500 strong for the intra squad game, and comments on some of the plays were favorable. From those I talked to I found out that they don't expect En right to be a giant killer next fall and wade right through that murderous schedule facing him. The concensums of opinion seemed to be a restless waiting for the Enright machine to build up to a Clemson beater. Dibbles.. .

Run Displaying a smashing defensive style of football the Gamecock gri(l iron stars close(d out the spriiig practice sessions is a scoreless dual out at the Birds roost at the sta (ium. Two evenly (livided squads fought it out before aroun( 1,000 BA M club members and University stuents. The longest run of the evening 'vas reeled off by brawney quarter back "Dutch" Elston on a play in which the quarterback handled the ball from the T formation and trucked off (lown the sidelines. The team was divided into the Red and the Black squads for the setto. The Blacks were composed of aspiring varsity candlidates and bo hunks who have yet to tastc varsity competition. The Reds wvere veteran Gamecock stars, and upper class bo hunks. Al Grygo playing left half for the Reds and Stan Stasica playing the same position for the Blacks car ried the brunt of the ball handling duties throughout the game. Stasica ran, kicked and passed for the Blacks, -while Grygo was a dual threat in running and passing. Louis Sossamon and "Bobo" Car ter were the standout linemen for the red squad as time after time they smashed plays coming their way. In the second half "Bobo" crashed through and blocked a punt by Stasica and recovered it on the Blacks 8 for the only big break of the evening. Arrowsmith gained a yard on thle next play, but a fumble was recov ered by the Blacks, in the end zone was a touchback and the Blacks took over on the 20 to end this scor ing threat by the veterans. The Blacks' big threat came in the first quarter when they drove from midfield to the Reds' six. But a fumble on fourth down with a yard to go for a first down, lost the ball and the Reds booted out safely. Lineups: Reds Blacks le-M.
