SPORTORAMA By DON BARTON In this column last week we were wondering why a school with so many students from, which to pick a baseball team couldn't lick the smaller teams in the state. Well, Coach Smith's nine has gone to work toward answering our ques tion by knocking off two in a row. Those wins over New berry and Wofford looked good to us. Let's hope the streak is continuing in the Furman series of yesterday and today. Bo Hagan gave a praiseworthy performance in shutting out the Indians for his second win of the season. It is en couraging to see Hagan getting along O. K. on that injured leg. a At this stage we are not, looking so reluctantly toward i the coming two game series with Clemson up in Tigertown. t' A win over the Bengals would be a fitting way to end our a season, but, then, that's two weeks off. Let's concentrate 0 on the Purple Hurricane right now. 0 HOW COME? t< The tennis team was scheduled to play Clemson on the ri Tiger courts April 2, but ol' man weather was on the war- tl path, and the match had to be called off. hi Coach Bartos wrote to the Clemson coach, enclosing our ?. schedule, and said that we were eager to play Clemson. He offered to meet them here or there on any date that 6. wouldn't conflict with another of our matches. The Clemson H coach wrote back saying that he was "sorry" but his heavy 6. schedule would not permit him to re-schedule Carolina. di Again, Bartos wrote to Clemson asking if it would be pos sible to schedule them. This time no answer at all came from Tigertown. We inferred that they did not want to bl play us. We were told by another team in the state that the Tiger hi netters gave them the impression that they had tried to get a match with Carolina, but Carolina had refused to play. So that there won't be any question about the matter, let s 6. us assure everyone that Carolina made an effort to get tennis matches with Clemson College, but they were turned down by the Tigers. That is "how come" we didn't meet Clemson 6 on the courts this year. hi INDOOR SPORT d, A fine crowd took advantage of the Block C club's hos- B pitality Wednesday night and enjoyed dancing, the music h of Frank Bolick and his orchestra, plus refreshments in the tt field house. 6 This was just one in many of the services this club does the student body each year. These affairs serve to get the im students better acquainted with those who perform on our T major athletic teams. Then there are such things as the 2" public address system used at the basketball games and * track meets that are donated by this club. Therein lies the answer to where the funds raised by va rious Block C projects go. The personnel of all the University's athletic teams will i have an outing at Heise's Pond Tuesday night. (Say, what i are we writing, a society column?) g TODAY'S THE DAY el The state's sporting eyes will be focused on Clinton today, c' as South Carolina college's make their bids for the state d track crown, now held by Clemson. ti Carolina's chances of winning will be much better if Bill h Buck's arm is in shape for throwing the javelin, and if Scoot- e er Rucks is in his usual form. Loss of these two would be a serious blow to the team, but they are expected to perform. We haven't figured it out mathematically, as perhaps we e should do, but we still don't mind saying that we think Caro- y lina will win, regardless of what Clemson or anybody else a did previously. Yes, we are letting sentiment enter into our predictions. Does anybody mind?' LAST CHANCE TO SWIM Jim Ratliff tells us that next week will be the last week e that the university's swimming pool will be open for recre ational swimming. After that the pool will be used for in structional purposes only, so you'd better make good use of the remaining time!

Baseball By JOE MOLONY - With Carolina's two top pitch- I L era, Bo Hagan and Cy Szakasci, pitching masterful games against e Newberry and Wofford the Game- ' cocks copped two straight wins r this week to lift their standing to i five wins against thirteen losses. c i a Coach Catfish Smith's charges am were somewhat irked over the crit les- ical attitude of some of the Caro- t] to lina baseball followers and went b win all out to prove to these critics g the that they were capable of play- t nse ing winning baseball with the h ar- right pitchers in the box. Re sults: they defeated Newberry. 12 ar- to 0 and then whipped Wofford h 11 to 4. ' rim Bo Hagan looked particularly ef- 'T fective in the Newberry game 0 Led when he allowed only six scat ted tered hits, fanned six and walked only two (in the fourth inning). c ted Bo was well rested for the Indian f contest and showed fine form in tl ted the clutches-the type of pitching ted Coach Smith has been crying for b all season long. The team's hit- B ting seemed to .perk up quite a y bit, too, with Cribb and Crawford C paving the way in 'the 9 hit f brigade. They were helped no a little by five Newberry errors. Carolina's other front line pitch- f n- er, Cy Szakasci, took the mound a ro- against the Wofford Terriers Wed- t ive nesday afternoon at Spartanburg n on. and breezed to an 11-4 victory. He a .ay allowed only three bases on balls, b Du- kept eight enemy ha well scat tered and struck out four Terrier e in batsmen. Carolina scored in 0 every inning but the fourth, sixth d on, and eighth with Cy Szakasci lead- I tay ing his mates in the hitting de- t ger p4tment, also. Harry Parone e gathered in two hits for four i bats and Earl Dunham got two e the for six, one of his blows being C the a triple. Carolina committed four t errors afield while the Terriers a miscued no less than ten times to t help the Birds build up their sev- q a en run lead. d The ballplayers further proved 1 en-- khat this writer has been remind- - ra- ing the readers all season long mnd that with good pitching to help be them along the Carolina baseball . team could give any team in the state a good ball game.
