FacutyOverrur To Take One-Si By SABA JEAN BALDWIN In a seven-inning thriller, the University of South Carolina fac. ulty completely overpowered the Women's Athletic Association by the score of 24-7 on Davis Field, Wednesday afternoon. The professors slammed ball af ter ball into the field and werv never threatened at er the first in. ning by the coeds. Many of the runs were the results of errors. Three homeruns were hit during the game, two by faculty members, Merrill Christophersen. of the Eng lish Department, and Hubert Thom ason of the School of Commerce. Betty Amaker pounded a ball Into right field which was good for a home run in the seventh inning. VAA mound ace, Marion Gibson, snagged several balls out of the ait and whipped them to first base. Sara Cline, usually one of the best stars, was not up to par today be cause of atn eye infection, and had 10 leave the game in the fourth in ning. The classiest fielding of the day was done by Ratherine Wallace, who was playing in the left field. She was able to stop many base runs. and in the second inning she caught a long and hard fly hit by President Norman Smith. The most versatile player on the diamond was Betty Amaker, who not only played right. short stop, but did some excellent backing up for second base. Betty. who is a hard hitter, managed to keep the coeds well in the game. Lineups: 'Pitcher-Mlal ion G;ibson. M. Chrlis toAer sen. First base -- Belinda coium,li. Sweartingen. Thomason.
