The wot'ries and respon sibilities that accompany the latter make his daily task of instructing seem trivial. Watching over 15 or 16 boys on the trips, trying to keep them out of trouble, not to mention in shape, worrying over equipment, and still turn out a winning team is enough to give anybody grey hairs. This season he had the odds all against him.

Traveling to Raleigh minus the services of Dutch Brembs. ace distance man. and Charley Schwartz. who handles most of the field events in fine style, the Birds had very little trou ,le in trampling the Wolf Pack. Jimmy Spurr and George Rat cliff combined on the hurdles once again, and "Sonny" Mahin showed that he could easily fill 1Ale shoes left vacant y Bfirembs.

LOR ICK OFFICE EQU * Office * Office Architects and I Phone 6176 : COLUME Page Fivs lames Birds Split With Flyers; Terriers Breaking even in two games last week with Florence Army Air Base and Wofford Terriers, the diamond men maintained their .500 average for the season. In a contest under the lights the Birds bowed to the Flyers 11-9 in ten innings at Dreyfuss Field. Tackling the winless Terriers at Spartanburg the next day Coach Mac's boys got back in the win col. umn 19-0. The Air Base game was a free scoring affair with neither team showing much ability in the field wit i many errors being commit ted by both team". Chuck Ran dolph started for the Gamecocks but was relieved by Dick Dusen hury in the fourth inning. At the end of the regular playing time the score was knotted at 9 all. In the tenth the Flyers pushed across two runs that proved to be the mar gin of victory. Starting out with a bang the Birds lost no time in driving home five runs against the Wofford Ter riers. Tiger Adams hurled another fine ball game in setting down Ted Petoskey's boys with four hits and striking out nine batters. The game was called at the end of seven in nings. The Terriers hac, enough to bd behind 19-0. This weekend Carolina travels to Newborry for a two game series with the Indians. McMillan is tak ing along Tiger Adams, Chuck Ran doiph and Dick Dusenbury to do the pitching. Any or all may be used on the hill against the In dians. Although Newberry's record is not very impressive, they split in two contests with the powerful Parris Island Marines, and are an improving ball club. Billy Laval's squad is not to be taken lightly, and the Birds better play heads up ball if they want to hold their place in the state standings. The Gamecocks are the only team .: hold a d(feat over the league leading Presbyterian Blue Stockings and at e going to be out for two more wins this weekend. With a double victory ovtr the Indians, the Birds will assure themselves at least the runnerup spot in the league. The baseball season is drawing to a clo'e and nat urally' averages are always figured. Keith Phillips, right f:'lder, is the leading hitter with a .44 averat:e. Close behind at e Hill Blume and loots .Tames with .3 and .333t: respectively. The only othe :w0 hitters besides Adams and TDusenbuiry are J-mr l.yles .321 and Lob Noble. 't00.
