Carolina -Cock And Bull By VAN NEWMAN Sports Editor Carolina's track team, once (feieated in dual competitior will attempt to hurdle their biggest obstacle tomorrow aftei noon when they take on the undefeated Clemson Tigers. 0 sucessive Saturdays, Clemson has disposed of P. C., Furmar and Wofford, rolling up an impressive 115-16 win.over th Methodists last weekend. On basis of the times clocked in previous meets this sea son, Carolina rules as slight favorite. Their biggest margi is in the broad jump, where the Gamecocks should take a three places, the shot put, discus, javelin, 220, and 44( Captain Scooter Rucks should take firsts in his two specia ties, the 220 and 440, with comparative ease. Freshman Ed Coleman is the Gamecock standby in ti shot put and discus events. In the Florida Relays last montl Coleman was defeated in the shot put only by the nationt intercollegiate champion and the champion of the Soutl eastern Conference. He was the top-ranking entry from th Southern Conference. Coleman is undefeated in dual comp< tition in the shot put and should beat Dwight Holshause the Clemson weight and basketball star, who has yet 1 reach 45 feet in a meet. Coleman's tosses have ranged froi 47 ft. 6 in., to 48 ft. 10% in. Coleman -has only one first in diseLp to his credit but I still should be able to defeat George Facchin of Clemsoi The Carolina freshman threw the discus 135 ft.. 5% ii against State last Saturday which is several feet better tha Facchin's best mark. Clemson is notably weak in the javelin event. Bill Buc who was the top man against Georgia and Davidson, shoul rack up his third first of the year against the Tigers. Another freshman, Wayne Brackett, is the princip Gamecock hope in the distance running. Brackett took firs In the mile against Georgia and N. C. State. He also finishc first in the 880 against Georgia but Billy Kincaid will off( the chief competition to Clemson's Spook Pulkinen in th event. The 100-yard dash will probably i one of the close races of the afternoon. Rupert Drew has finished secor in all of the meets this year but he stands a very good chani of breaking into the win column tomorrow. George Facch! of Clemson has won two of his races but they were with ti comparatively slow times of 10.3 and 10.4. Scooter Rucks, who has beeni making a habit of breakir state records, should have little trouble wvith Tiger freshme Bobby Thompson in the 220 and 440 events. In the high jump, Carolhna has three men who have bes ed the top mark of a.Clemson jumper. Olin McGill, Charl McGill, and Bert Orr finished in a three-way tie again Davidson with a mark of 5 ft., 10 in. Clemson plays the favorites' role in the high and lo hurdles. Townsend turned in a time of 15.5 against Wo ford Saturday in the 120-yardc high hurdles. Droopy AtwE of South Carolina turned in his best mark of 16 secon against Georgia. This is far below Townsend's 15.5 but be ter than the Clemson man's other two races. In the low hurdles, Olin McGill will be the underd< against Faile of Clemson. Carolina hasn't taken a first this event this season. Bob McCook has yet to reach the 12-foot mark in the po vault. Brown of Clemson has jumped 11 ft. 6 in., 11 ft. 9 ir and 12 ft. The Carolina man is still given a better than ou side chance of taking the event if he has a good afternoo The broad jump should be another of the afternoon closer events. Williams of Clemson may be the slight favo ite because of his undefeated record against the three sta teams encountered by the Tigers thin. season.

Paid AdvertIsement. h C1 Gamecocks. Lo After Winning By JOE I Carolina's base ballers COUld split with the Clemison Tigers a mediocre Clemson nine that of a two game series 11-2 aft the opener 7-4. Coach Ted Petoskey threw his entire pitching staff at Clemson in the big seventh inning, but none of his hurlers could find the plate. Clemson countered six times inl the lucky seventh to salt the ball game away. Six walks, two hits, an error, a wild pitch and a passed ball combined to give the Tigers their tallies. The first game was all Carolina with Bill Camp pitching himself. out of innumerable holes vith some excellent support behind him. Clemson had 11 ien left tn the sacks and outhit Carolina 10 to 9. Joe Johnston was the big gun in the Bird attack with three for four, including an inside-the-park homer in deep eenter field. John ston also tallied three times. Clen soil's Flemming went the route and suffered the loss. It seemed from the first game that Carolina was the better-bal anced ball club, but the final game appeared differently. The Birds committed numerous errors afield, poor baserunning, and the pitchers couldn't find the plate in that final contest. it fact, their poor play made a notably weak Clemson team,1 look good. The split left Carolina with a four and five won and lost ree ord in all games played and a iwo and one record in state play. Just as Petoskey said after the Wake Forest series, it was lack of ex perience under fire that hurt the Gamecocks most. However, the pitiful pitching exhibition was the biggest blow to the new mentor and he was at a loss to explain his hurlers' showing. A ray of hope was found in Bo Hagan's fine pitching exhibition for six Innings inl tbe second Clemson game. Bo allowed three runs, one of them eal ned, and four hits in his six innings of work, but he had to leave the game because of severe pain in his elbow. It was later learned that the ache was not serious and B0 Thould lbe ready for Furman today DUG-OUT D)OPE: Ken Culbersont stood head and shoulders above the rest of the field last week with his sparkling play at s ho rt for Clemson.
