On The Ball
With
Ish Moore
Believe it or not, that letter reprinted in the fourth and
fifth columns of this page was actually read. in a P. C. stu
dent body meeting! The old Blue Stockings must've been
pretty hot under the collar about 'he little article our boy
Jerry wrote two weeks ago-but then, Jerry meant well.
Frankly, we think the P. C. lads made a pretty good repartee
in the form of that little epistle. At any rate. it shows plenty
of that ol' stuff called school spirit!
Our slugging Gamecocks are invading Tar Ieelia land
again . . . and this time, they're after Blue Devil bacon ! Our
guess is that they'll bring home a few slices too . . . if 'Arry
Parone keeps getting three safeties for every five trips to
the plate . . . and if the rest of those fellows can develop
that added punch that they so "ably exhibited against the
Bulldogs of Georgia here Tuesday afternoon during that
ninth frame. And talking about that contest, Catfish nearly
pulled the game out of the fire during the ninth stanza by
sticking his port side sluggers up to the plate against the
Bulldog hurler who very obviously had a distaste for any
one who batted from the wrong side. The boys did a swell
job too. . . . Sonny Way, Rip Ripley. Sandy Andrews, and
the rest of the Birds managed to fill the bases and drive
in two runs before the Jaw-Ja lads were able to finish the
game.
Navy softball is really going strolng . . and it reached
its peak Wednesday night where the Zoomboys of' Company
6 faced the sluggers of NROTC Company 4. . . . Wild Bill
Pizza of the Zoomies turned in a no-hitter . . . and so did
chunking Chuck Parham of the ZO's. . . . Two no-hit per
formances in one tilt!! Of course. there may, be a dis
crepancy there, since Jim Sellers claims to have breezed a
fast one-base job thru Pizza's infield. Of course, there were
a few errors . . . the Company 4 lads managed to make a few
les than~ their opponents and came out on top of a 5-1
score. And that's almost as bad as Wednesday night's game
out at Capital City Park when the Reds left even their most
ardent followers agast by licking the Charleston visitors 20
8! Now the Reds are pushing that seventh slot mighty hard!
Frankly though, we hope that those slugging Gamecocks
have more energy than we happen to have at this particular
time . . . we feel worse than the morning after a long night
at Groucho's . . . and that is bad! Of course, there may be
a reason . .. George Brier was gracious enough to let us plav
with his Company Two softballers against the Zoombovs
of Company Eight . . . and that game was too close for com
fort ! It was merely a matter of' which team made the least
number of errors . . . and we won by a nose!
George Morgan and Andy Mashaw were really hot last Fri
(lay afternoon in the intramural track meet .. . the Phi
Kappa Sig "Sun Boy" took firsts in bo0th the 100 yard dash
and the low hurdles and came in with a secondl in the broadl
jump to take top honors wvith 1:1 points . . . and the shining
light of Sigma Nu's White Star thinclads managed to take
first in the 220. secondl in the 100. and to share honors w'ith
George F'arris, Roy Young, andl Stev'e Trewhella in th(. half
mile relay to garner a total of nine and1( a fou rth points for
himksel f.
inc identally, that d istanuce of' 19 fe'et 9 inches mlade by
Jack Worley (of Lambda (Chi) in the b)roadl jump wasn't bad
at all, conlsidlering the fact that the dlistance at most Caro
lina meets this spring has ben only slightly over 20 feet!
Congratulations to Charlie My3ers on his Iwo homers y'estertia.
. . Also, to Ken Tarbell, "Moe" Brown, anid "l)uh" Nelson. . . anm
all the rest of the happy souls. G;ood night. goodi people . . . sweel

12-8 Victory
Over Gamecocks
The Birds were in the game until
the last man was out in the last of
the ninth Tuesday afternoon when
the boys from down Georgia way
droped thern for 12 to 8 licking.
The Birds were able to stay right
on the heels of the Bulldogs and
had the bases loaded with one out
in the eighth but the runs failed to
cross the plate and Mr. Trippi and
Co. collected their second victory of
the season over the Birds.
Trippi. Jenkins, and Jordan were I
the bailing stars for the victors
getting seven of their team's 12
hits. Trippi also did some magnifi
cent base running and managed to
pilfer five hassocks during the
spree.
Ev Driver started on the mound
for the Birds, but couldn't seem to
keep his control although he had
plenty on the hall and had to be
taken out in favor of Jim Pinker
ton, hard hitting mound ace for tMe
losers. Driver allowed 4 hits, struck
out 3 and issued 5 free tickets dur
ing the 3 innings that he toed the
slab. Pinkerton pitched 6 innings
giving out 4 free rides. allowing 8
hingles and whiffing 3.

"Sweet" Revenge
Coach Catfish Smith and his Pie
amondeers will be out to avenge
earlier defeats at the hands of the
Duke Blue Devils when they take to
the field up at Dfirham this after.
noon. This will be the second of a
two game series started between
the Gamecocks and the Blue Devils
yesterday afternoon.
Earlier in the season, the Bird
nine was embarrassed at Capital
City Park by dropping two straight
encounters to the lads from Tar
Heella land. Grady Stott. third base
man, provided the spark for the
1)uke nine during both contest here
in Columbia with his heavy hitting.
Rudolf, who faced the Blue Devils
in their last same here, will prob.
ably handle the mound duties this &
afternoon, while Bruce Tate will
handle the receiving duties for the
Birds.
The Blue Devils, always a strong
club on any field, are expected to he
especially powerful in their own
territory. This, combined with the
fact that the North Carolina lads
always provide a nemesis for South
Carolina. means that Coach Smith
and the boys will have a rough day
of it. However, if the Birds could
develop that punch that they ex
hihited during the ninth frame of
the Georgia game, the Blue Devils
may he in for a tough day them
selves.
