Ju1st Yesterday's Dope
"There'll be a hot time in the town of Berlin"-or as is the
case with the batting Birds, there'll be a hot time in Clinton
this afternoon when Catfish's Diamondeers square off with
Presbyterian for the secon(d time in less than a week. And
if past performances are any indications of things to come,
the Gamecocks will be taking their share of that Blue Stock
ing bacon when gamo time rolls around. The P. C. lads didn't
have too much to show the home town folks here last Mon
day-and Pitcher Chuck Rudolph hardly gave them a chance
to show what they did have! The Birds have developed into
a "pretty fair country" (thank you, Coach Shi.) hitting
club lAtely-ten bingles ofl the two Hose hurlers wasn't batl
at all. Shifting "Skipper" Tate to the all-important cleanup
sppt was a muchas fine move-specially since the big lad
belted out a double his first time up to drive in two tallies
and then followed up with two singlqs, a walk, and another
double on error-driving in a total of four runs for Caro
lina. "Stone-face" Fountain was pretty hot on third Mon
day afternoon-and ex-second1 baseman Newman looked
pretty good at short. Incidentally, we'll lay ten to one odds
that Jessie Cox gets his usual four for five today (You're
welcome J. T.-no charge). And we're willing to stick our
15 1-2 neck out and say that it's time for "'arry" Parone to
step into the limelight and connect for that long-awaited
base cleaning homer. Not too incidentally, if the Birds take
this one, the only thing stan<ling in the way of another State
Ch-impionship will be that troublesome Newberry Indian
and this just isn't the year for scalping
It's tough, but the Tikers' just having a bad year-and
Coach Sterling I L)upree and the boys are 1)laniing to make
things just a little worse for the Bengale tomorrow after
noon when the Clemson Key-dets bring their Thinclads up
to challenge Carolina's potential State Championship Track
mters. Jimmy Ratliff,. after cleaning up'fifteen points against
Nort.h Carolina State last Satorday ca n ha r(ly he satisfied
with less against the Up-st,;ters (or-Up-starters). And our
boys '"ird-dog" was hot last week too-taking first in both
the mile and the two mile! 11ird-dog's the type of fellow we'll
get to teach our little Boy ScoutL all abol'i i'Ie .1-me hike.
Of course Warren Foote. Gene 3olo, and George Forrier will
be out to break that three way tie inl the high iunip which
force(d them to split their points th'ee ways last Saturday.

Birds Blast
Stockings For
14-7 Victory
(By Jim Fulghum)
The Gamecocks kept their victory
guns smoking Monday afternoon
when they hammered out a 14 to 7
verdict over the pale Blue Stock
ings of Piesbyterian college.
The game was off to a fast start
when the visitors from Clinton
scored two runs in the fij st half
of the first, but the Birds also
loosed some, dynamite when thv
came to bat and also scored two
counters. The game remained at
two all until the Gamecorks were
at the pla.te in the fourth innine.
In that stanza the Birds shoved
across three more tallies on two
walks, a sacrifice, a couple of stol
en bases, and one mistake by ie
P. C. left fielder. After that the
Gamecocks really went to work
with Bruce "Skip" Tate, old line
catcher, doing most of the stick
work.
Tate led the Birds at bat with a
double, and two singles for four
trips to the plate. This was the first
linie this season that Coach Smith
had changed his cleanup hitter and
he showed some of his coaching
genius by placing Tate in the all
important spot. Newman and Runt
Willis. little Bird second baseman,
were close behind Tate, with both
making five trips to the plate and
slamming out two hits apiece. Wil
fis also scored thob winning run
from third base in the fourth in.
ning, and played stellar ball all the
way for the winners. Ch-uck Ru
dolph statted on the mound for the
Birds and pitched winning ball un
til he tired in the seventh inning
and had to be taken out of the
game. Jim Pinkerton then went to
