In addition to his duties as pro

cupies all his spare time at this

As the days grow steadily longer,
and the sun grows steadily brighter,
the male population of the Univer
sity tends more and more to seek
the out of doors. Since sunbathing
on the main campus is strictly ta
boo, and since everyone is anxious
for that burned South Carolina ap
pearance before June vacation, Mel

popular campus resort. Sooner or
later, everyone is bound to wander
across Green Street for a sunny
afternoon, and the afternoon ten
ants amuse themselves In a variety
of intruiging ways. If one visited
the field with the view of cata
loguing its occupants and their oc
cupations, he would wind up with
something like this. . . .

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.
