BIRDS MEET TIGERS-TRACK AND BASEBALL 0
Today and tomorrow, Carolina's batswingers and cindermen S
renew their old feud with the Clemson Tigers. This afternoon, k(
Ted Petoskey's baseballers start the week-end off in Tigertown F
with their first diamond struggle with the Bengals this year.
The Bangals held first place in the state at the beginning of the C
week, but were knocked off the top rung of the state ladder by F
ti
the Presbyterian Blue Hose, who defeated the Tigers 12 to 11 t
last Monday afternoon. d
The Birds came through with their first victory in five games j'
last Friday afternoon, when they gave the P. C. team their first s'
State whipping this year by a 10 to 8 score. . Ray Player pitched t
all nine innings for the Gamecocks, and did a fine job of holding p
men on base in the pinch.
In addition to the baseballers, the Bird cindermen play host
to the Clemson Tiger thin clads tomorrow afternoon on Melton ty
Field in an attempt to garner their third straight state victory. d
GAMECOCKS GET MORE HITS
Carolina's batting slump earlier in the season, had Coach Ted
Petoskey pretty worried, but the Gamecock baseballers have dq
snapped out of their slump in the last three games. tU
In the Newberry game last Tuesday, the Birds outhit the In
dians thirteen to ten, but weren't able to push enough runs a
across.
The Carolina team showed plenty of punch at the plate ra
against P. C. last Friday, when they outhit and outscored the to
Hose. tr

Let's tame those Bengal bats this afternoon in Tigertown to
and come through with some bingles ourselves. th

BIRDS FACE TIGER TRACKSTERS d
Tomorrow afternoon on Melton Field, Coach J. T. Penney's e
Carolina cindermen will face the Tigertown track crew in a dual
meet, in a preview to the State meet next Friday and Saturday G.
in Clinton. G
The Birds are seeking their third straight state win of the ga
year tomorrow when they meet the Bengals. Last week in "
Charleston, the Birds continued their winning ways, when
they walked away with The Citadel meet, 81 2-3 to 41 1-3. Wo
Mac Riley, Carolina's ace dash man, continued undefeated
this season in the 220 and 100-yard dash. Mac broke the State ar
record in the 220-yard dash by running this event in the record
time of 21.6, clipping three-tenths of a second from the old Jo
record. This record will not be able to stand, for it wasn't made 9
in the State meet. "Scooter" Rucks set a new track record at
The Citadel, when he ran the 440-yard dash in 50.3 seconds. ci
The Brds ought to do well in the dashes tomorrow against
the Bengals, but will fall down in the longer distance races. D,
Krivonak should take the shotput, as he is still undefeated in 16
this event this year. Clemson rules the favorite in the pole
vault, with state champion Fennell still vaulting for the Tigers. Al
It should be a close meet, and with a little luck the Birds should 26
squeeze out a victory.
Next week the Birds travel to Clinton where they will enter 40
the annual State meet.
NETTERS OFF TO POOR START t*
ut
Carolina's netmen have had eight matches this season, and
have so far eked out only one 4-3 victory over the College of tI(
Charleston in the second match of the season. The Bird racket in
wielders lost their first encounter of the court season to the
Wofford Terriers, 4-1. In the next match, the Birds showed a Si
reversal of form and defeated the Charlestonians 4-3.a
Since that initial victory, the Carolina team has lost four ci
matches by the shutout route. A
This afternoon on the varsity courts, Coach Dutch Wagener"
will send his netters against the Furman court men. ii
In the No. 1 spot for the Gamecocks this year is Gordon Mc- 5
Laurin from Dillon. Captain Bert Hill is at the No. 2 position,
while Jack Hatch, Oscar Mims and Gene Haynes make up the
team in that order.
McLaurin and Hatch have been playing No. 1 doubles this S
year, with Hill and Mims playing the No. 2 doubles. I

April 24-Furman-Columbia.
