LEONARD TURNBULL
Wolves Howl Too Soon
Just where are those wolves? You know, the wolves that
stated that we were dooined in all inor sports this spring.
- Some of these wolves watched our first three baseball games and
predicted a disastrous season for the proteges of Coach Petoskey
-others groaned about our soph studded tennis team-and
others complained that we might as well give up hope on our
track team.
Where are they now? Where are the wolves hiding after our
baseball nine made a resounding comeback and played excellent
ball in downing the Erskine Seceeders 10-21? What corner are
they in after the Carolina track team pasted a 74-52 defeat on
the highly favored team fromt Furiian? Lastly, how did they
like the tennis team when they won over Cornell College of
Iowa 7-0, and swamped the College of Charleston 6-1?
The Gamecock baseball team played the kind of ball that
I have hoped was in them last Tues(lay against Erskine. They
clicked like a well oiled field )iece and worked together like the
campus political machines. Van Earl Fillingimn played sup
berb ball at third base, and -brought "Rock" Stroud back to
mind with his bullet like heaves to first.
"Angie" Swats Two Homers
A home run king was discovered in the ranks of the Birds
as "Angie" DeMario heaved his gigantic shoulders behind the
bat that collided with the horsehide and swatted two balls out
of Melton Field. In another trip up to the plate "Angie"
plastered the ball into left field for a double.
Joe Grugan served notice to the professional leagues that
they had best keep their eyes open. Joe pitched a grand game.
To say more wouldn't be right, I couldn't do him justice. Plus
his extra deluxe perfornance at the mound Joe wielded a
wicked bat. 1e socked about three balls over the left field
fence that curved foul.
In the rest of the Gamecock lineup stars were numerous:
Bruce Tate caught an excellent game in his varsity debut be
hind the plate; the outfield, Truman loxitt, Angelo DeMario,
and "Sheriff" Dunham handled all the balls in the outer gardens
faultlessly. The infield with Ken Roskie, Junie Hynison, Car
lyle Holiday and Filingini cavorted around in heads-up coor
dination.
But wait a minute ! The Gamecocks looked good Tuesday,
there is no doubt, but that isn't reason for any of us to expect
them to beat the socks off all the opposition. They are con
posed of a galaxy of sophomore stars who are still liable to
"blow up" when the pressure is on. I'm keeping my fingers
crossed for the rest of the season and hope the pitching con
tinues at the brilliant pace it has set.
Track Team Oversets Dope Bucket
Carolina's track team has mie fuzzled. Coach Dupree started
the season with barely enough men to muake a team. The cinder
coach was also groaning because of the loss of last years all
time star, Dick Little; also other aces had been granted sheep
skins and had taken leave of the campus.
MacIver Riley told a tale last Saturday of a sprinter who
promises to make Dick Little a hollowed remembrance. Mac
is about the coolest sprinter I've seen. In the 220 yard dash
"Breezy" Breazeale of Furman was pressing Mac. The fly
ing Bird glanced over his shoulder at this cotton topped runner,
stepped up his parce, and had about a five yard advantage at
the end.
'In the distance runs; mile and two mile, Carolina sprang
a newv one. "Spec" Evatt show-ed to his cityfied opponents
the overwhlehning advantage of being fronm the country. "Sp)ec"
set a pa~ce at the beginning anid held it to the endI of both
runs. In tihe two mile he lead the nearest Furman opponent
by at least a quarter of a lap.
Tennis Mighty Mites Still Unknown
The tennis team boasting of live mighty mites have bowled
over two Oioppoents at tire t imeiI of this wvriti ng. They mret the
top-notch Florida tetun W'ednesday, ouch ! Brose anid Mc
Lauri n, thIe onre- two men on1 (i tihe teami are smnall in stature buirt
powerful in swatting a teninis hall.
I' mnot pred ict ing a great seasonr for the tennis team, (like
I didn't (1o ini baseball mand t rack), but I think tihe sophomore
studd1(ed racket weilders will be flies in tihe ointnmnt of tihe op
posit ion.
Patrone Ends Career-Maybe
Now comles a task thamt I dlon't thIinik 1 am capabile of gi vinrg
justice to. doe Patrcone, a grand1 guy andl a swell athlete, has
ended his career in athletics at Carolinai. For foiur years he
has really had tire (Carolinia sp)irit, and, as was thre case last year,
wais a si xtv mi inte foiotbial player at one of tihe guarrd slots.
Joe is priesidlent oif tihe Block "C" eluh, andi has (lone no little
work in bringing the associationr before the stud(ent body and
thre people of the State, and make all realize that athletes are
hard workers, on and1( olr the athletic field.
Tis seme(ster Joe hras starrted1, organizedl and( competedu with
bowling tearmis from the University. lie is tire coach (of 21 cr'ew
of Garmecock stud(enrts, and hiars also st artedl tire girls to or
ganizing teams. Wait a mirnute-Joe is bowling, and that sport
is rapidlly approarching the status of a~ rmor sport on thre
campus-he ain't through yet.

Davidson Favored In
Meet Tomorrow; Riley,
Evatt And Krivonak Star
The University of South Caro
linas cindermen will play host to a
strong Davidson team tomorrow on
Melton Field immediately following
the Carolina-Newberry baseball
game. Fresh from its' clean cut vic
tory over Furitian University last
week, the Gamecocks are raring to
go into action tomorrow.
Joe Krivonak came through to
win with the weights in two events.
He won both the shot put and the
discus throw.
Walter Carnes and McIver Riley
of Carolina were close on his heels
with It apiece. ,
Riley showed up especially well
last Saturday in his . first varsity
track debut. He is attempting to
fill the shoes of Captain Dick Little
who is gone with the sheepskins.
Little is praised as an all-time track
great of Carolina and of the State.
Walter Carnes starting his second
year in the 440 yard dash slot has
improved vastly over last yeal's
campaign.
George "Snake" Crawford, alter
nating between the track and the
baseball teams, tossed the javelin
for an unofficial state record. The
throw carried for 185 feet, 2.5 inch
es. The record was disallowed be
cause a brisk wind was aiding the
spear.
The final score of the meet was
74-52 in the Gamecocks favor.

George Crawford, left, will probably get the nod from Coach Ted Pe
toskey to start the game against the Newberry Indians. Crawford showed
up exceptionally well for a sophomore last year, and is going great guns
again this year on the mound.
Angelo DeMario, right, is the newly discovered home run king of the
Gamecock baseball nine. Against the Erakine Seceders "Angie" blasted
out three hits in five official trips to the plate, two of them cleared the
left field fence by a wide margin.
Bowlers Make History
But Lose To Coaches
Coach Frank Johnson High Scorer;
Patrone Plans To Organize Teams
The history making University of -South Carolina girls and boys
bowling teams won a double victory last Wednesday nite. The boys
were led by Captain Leo Kroto in downing the Dingbats, 2257 to 2226.
The girls were sparked by Dot Lorrick in winning over the Bowlerettes.
Both matches were played using the ten pins. This victory over the
Dingbats gives the boys a total of three wins against one defeat, handed
them by the Jacksouites.
The Members of the boys team are: Joe Hatkevitch, Stan Nowak,
"Hedge" Arrowsmith, Joe Patrone, Leo Kroto and Joe Krivonak.
The bowlers on the girls team are: Evelyn Kline, Mary King, Cathe
rine Rubin, Mary Wright and Dorothy Lorrick.
Members of the Carolina bowling team, made up almost entirely of football players, got
their first crack at the Gamecock coaches a couple of weeks ago when they extended a
1hallenge to the coaches and were taken up.
Coach Frank Johnson made the bowlers feel underrated in the match. le missed bowling
i perfect score only by a hair.
Coach .lohnson rolled nine strikes in 10 boxes during his third game, and ran up a score
f 252 pins. le missed a strike only in the third framue. The 252 gave him the honors of
igh scorer In the dual.
Interest among the Carolina students was evident at the match as a flock of Gamecocks
turned out for the setto.
The coaches had entirely too much on the ball for their proteges of the footbqR gridiron.
[noneh Enright showed his pupils plenty too as he took second place scoring honors for
he night with a total average of pina knocked down of 446. The total pins keeled over
1)y Johnson were 570.
Joe Patrone, presilent of the Block "C" club founded the present Carolina bowling team.
Joe is also the playing coach for the pin knockers.
Plans are under way on the campus at present to carry the art of bowling to all the
itudeints. Patrone expects to organize teams among the fraternities and sororities on the
-ampus, anl in the tenements.
Evelyn Kline is the star bowler for the girls team of the University of S. C. She placed
irst anong the open place winners in the girls division last Tuesday with an average of
148' for three gamnes.
Mary King closely follows her teammate as she consistently howls around the 140 average
in all the games.
howling with the aiove duet are Alice Glominski and Mary Wright Duckett. Both of
ihese co-4ed1s also prove thaat men are not the only people who can sling the bowling balls.
The girls and the boys team of Carolina use the ten pIns in every match. This means
hat thne girls hnave' to sling a sixteen inounad bowling bal'l down tine alleys to knock over
inhe pinus.

of three loses against one win,
sporting a winning stretch of
rds first three gnmes. Seven er
the contest, as the Gamecocks
in State 14-4. The Staters col
f Joe Grugan, Ray Player and
The shaky infield of the Game
cocks bobbled the ball for a total
of seven errors. The pitching was
fair for the Birds, but the errors
combined with the 16 bingles left
then on the wrong end of the score.
In their second engagement the
Birds played host to the top notch
team from Duke University. Again
errors were costly and the Birds
dropped the setto 9 -5. Leonard
Kanian and Gus Crawford pitched
excellent ball for the Gamecocks but
the defense fell apart as the Birds
committed 5 errors.
Joe Grugan, ace pitcher, roamed
the center field position and col
lected two singles in three trips to
the plate. Truman Hoxit had two
for four and Ken Roskie had a sin
gle and a triple in three official
trips to the home plate.
Joe Grugan twirled all the way
as did Robertson of Erskine. Gru
gan limited the seceders to four
hits, struck out ten and issued but
one free pass to first.
In the third encounter of the sea
son errors were again the main
cause of the downfall of the Birds
as an 8-1 defeat was handed them
by the P. C. Blue Stockings in Clin
ton. The defense of the Birds again
blew sky high.
The fourth game of the season
was a different story and the Caro
lina nine swatted the ball for 13
hits and scored 10 times to down the
Erskine Seceders 10-2.
Airtight defense on the part of
the fielders and the fast ball artist
work of Joe Grugan on the mound
were too much for the Due West
nine. Angelo DeMario, burly Bird
center fielder, was the hitting star
of the fray as he poled two horse
hides over the left field wall and
collected a double in five official
trips to the plate.
