and Jess Tipping, who has be
instructor's rating.
The Sesqui Centennial park, fa
miliarly called "Sesqui" has proven
itself to be the most popular
stamping-ground for the majority
of the student body in past years
and has found a place in every
body's heart as "the place to go
in Columbia."
In addition to numerous barbe
cue pits, picnic grounds, and party
facilities, Sesqui has a beautiful
ball field, a dance patio with juke
box music, a boat rental system,
a beautiful lake for swimmers,
and dressing rooms with checking
system.
At the time of the installation
of the Carolina life guards, Mr.
Holder said that "The price for
admittance is absolutely free ex
cept for the small charge of 25
cents for those who wish to swim.
*his fee has been set up as a mini
mum by the State Forestry Com
mission for the purpose of help
ing the park pay for its own up
keep, and the money paid provides
for the use of lockers, showers,
checking facilities, swimming and
the life guard protection."
Mr. Holder further stated that
"'she university student body
plays a large part in the park's
popularity and beauty. We want
the students to feel frce to come
out for recreatiQn any time that
they wish, and all we ask is that
they~ cooperate wvith Jess, Phil,
Walter and Jack in keeping theI
place in check. Everything has its
purpose outs here and we want the
Carolina students to come out and
have a good time."
And as a closing statement
"Pop" affectionately remarked
that "It's like having Carolina
moved out here on the weekends
and so far they have all been
treating the park as if it wvas the
old Gamecock roost itself. This
Splace is their's and we want them
to feel like its their's, and we want
to thank them~ for their past co
operation."

Home Finale
Citadel's Bulldogs pushed across
six runs in the sixth inning Fri
day to come from behind and hand
Carolina an 8-6 licking on Davis
Field. This revenged a 23-4 set
back the Gamecocks handed the
Bulldogs earlier in the season.
Home runs by Jim Pinkerton
and Harry Parone gave the locals
what looked to be a comfortable
lead, Pinkerton's coming in the
first inning with one on and Pa
rone's in the fourth with the
bases clear.
Four singles, a home run, and
two walks enabled the visitors to
generate the six tallies and the
margin of victory. Henderson ham
, mered the four-bagger over the
- left field fence with one team
mate aboard.
Charlie Long started on the
mound for the birds but weaken
ed in the sixth and was relieved
in favor of Fred Snoddy who was
2 later pulled for a pinch hitter.
>r Bo Hagan hurled the final frame,
;t allowing runners to reach base
1. but no one scored.
is Shahid rationed six hits among
f the Gamecocks and struck out ten
of his opponents, but walked seven.
d The Gamecocks were never able
k to come through with men on base
however, and many were left
i- stranded.
e Dean Padgett led the Gamecocks
y at bat connecting for two hits out
r of four trips to the plate. Parone
a had one for three, that being his
y round-tripper.
t- This was the last home appear
ie ance of the season for the Caro
lina nine. Approximately 300 fans
i- turned out to see the home team
z- fall to the cadets, in a game that
y found Coach Smith's nine fall
y short the performances in their
last several home games. The
.. fieldin% was up to par, only one
mn error being charged to Carolina,
,n but their hitting, especially in
te crucial moments was below the
Gamecock's usual pace.
Long started off t1olding the
situation well in hand until the
fatal sixth. Previously he had
shown good control and a lot of
stuff on the ball.
Fred Snoddy held the Bulldogs
down during his stay on the mound
and was relieved in the eight to
let Red Harvin bat. Harvin got
on base on the catcher's error, but
was left stranded.
The Birds close the season next
weekend at Clemson, where they
meet the Tigers in a twvo-game
*series.
