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.. .
Currently revisiting their old haunts the past week wvere Rock
Stroud and Irving Granoff. Rock is now working up to the
big leagues in baseball. . . The "watch Grygo and Stasica go next
fall" crowd had best cross their fingers and pray for the inter
ference leading guards to develop-without these key men they
won't get to the open field and trot to pay dirt-On their first
day out for spring practice basketballer's Ken Roskie and Fred
Lytle received injuries to lay them up for awhile. .. Ken Roskie
has kept strict training rules now for seven months-football.
basketball and now baseball require him to keep up on his sleep
ing .-.. Former Gamecock Dave Walling is reported as having
made up his mind to return to the Garnet and Black colors-he
was plenty good in frosh football. .. Forget me don'ts to Jack
Reem for his grand work with the current boys and girls fenc
ingr squads.

Displaying a smashing defensive
style of football the Gamecock gri(l

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.

Boxing Team
"Geech" Lofton Captain;
Attaway And Kirven
Chosen Co-Alternates
In a after season meeting without

boxing squad chose Harry "Geech"
L.ofton to lead them through the
ooming '42 season with Kay Kirven
knd Tomny Attaway as co-alternate
captains.
Lofton fights in the 155 pounlld
class. In the past Southern confer

winner of this class. The coming
season will be his last in the fiel(I of
collegiate boxing.
Kay Kirven and Tommy Attaway
b)oth fought their first year in the
squared ring the past scason. Kay
came out favorably with two vic
ories over one defeat. Kirven fought
in the 127 pound class.
Tommy Attaway fought in the
165 pound1( class andi was troubled
the past season wvith lack of reach
in dluels with his opponents. \Vith
he experience of this year under his
belt Tommy promises to make the
coming campaign a successful one.
"Geech", Tommy and Kay are
dop1edi to be thle b)ackbone of next
year's squad. It is doubtful if this
years co-captain Olin MacDonald
will return. Several promising
hieavyweight fresh men worked out
with the squad this year andl wiltl)be
