'Clemson Bows To Gamecocks Here Saturday By JEM NEWBURY Carolina slid by Clemson 74 to r to 57 here last Saturday to win e the last dual meet of th season on the home track. "Scooter Rucks, in making his final ap pearance on the U.S.C. track, had t the proverbial field day when he bettered his last week's record of 21.8 in the 220 yd. dash by .1 sec ond, won the 440 yd. dash in a * Walkaway, and pulled away from t his rival In the mile relay to boost B Carolina's total five more points. Freshman Ed Coleman broke the state shot put record for tie second time this year with a mark of 49 ft. 8% inches. Coleman also tossed the discus 185 ft. in the Davidson meet, just seven feet below the effort of Furman's King, who set the record in 1937. With his present ability and three years to improve, it is likely that t Coleman will' set some conference records along with those fast fad ing state standards he has re cently broken. Wayne Brackett, the fleet fresh man from Florence, ran -a very V impressive mile. Brackett trailed t the Tiger milers until the last turn on the final lap when he put on a burst of speed to pass Rush ton of Clemson and clinch a first B place position. Rupert Drews broke into the e winning with a smooth 10.1 sec. 100 yd. dash and turned in a bet 1 ter than usual performance in the 220 yd. dash, in which he placed second. Next year's spring hopes may depend largely on rl Drews and Wadiak, who placed . second in the 100 yd. dash. Foster Marshall cinched a first place slot for Carolina in the twU mile run in what was probably one of the most thrilling races of the e day. Nearing the third turn in e the last lap of the event, Hard wick, of Clemson, began to gain on Marshall. who had kept un a e strong pace throughout the race and was tiring badly at this time. In the last thirty-five yards to the tape, Marshall and Hardwick pushed each other step for atep d with Hardwick just a step behind, e In the last few yards Marshall managed to edge out the Tigez entry and win by- the :cant dis tance of two feet. In the pole vault event, it was Carolina all the way with Gene e Brown taking a first place po sition with a vault of twelve feet. - Bob McCook and Ben Badger tied for second place. Badger's re turn to the bamboo lanes has strengthened the Gamecocks ini the pole vault department. Bill Buck tossed the javelin 164 8 feet 8% inches to gather in a first 11 place with Roger Wilson not far y behind to take second. Buck, who e heaved the Javelin 190 ft. last year but injured his arm, is capable of taking a state record this year if the spring comes back. McKenzie ran a very impressive -. part of the mile relay and placed - tbird in the 400 yd. dash. Kin .caid, who also ran In the mile re lay, copped a third place position in the 880 yd. run. Tomorrow, the Carolina spike. men~ venture to Presbyterian & College to take on the "Gazelle , Boys of '48" in the last dual meet previous to the state meet which .will be held at Clinton May 7-8.

Some one to two hundreds boys square off on the diamond each week as the various teams go through their paces. Competition is keeni and at times the games are liv ened wvith flares of temper. As yet, howvever, none of the players have come to blows and the games have moved along more or less peacefully. The intramural league is di vided into four separate divisions; two for the fraternity teams and two for the independents. The win ner of each of the independent di visions plays the winner of the other division. The same proce dure Is followed by the fraternity teams. The winner of the inde pendents plays the winner of the fraternity group for the campus championship. Members of the1 winning team will receive key chain medals. At present Phi Kappa Sigma with its sensational pitcher, Jim Yates, appears to be the class of the fraternity teams. Yates has pitched two no-hit games already and is thus far undefeated. His team gives every indication of finishing the season with a clean slate. Their stiffest competition will probably be furnished by Lambda Chi Alpha whose pitcher, Crow, has not had an earned run scored on him. The Cohorts, Tourists, and Preston seem to be the teams to beat in the independent league. Preston on the strength of Crick Talus' pitching is highly favored to capture the league crown but an upset by one of the other teams would not be surprising.

Coach Ted Petoskey will use Charlie Long and Bo Hagan in the series in an effort to pull his charges out of their slump. Bill Camp will be around for relief duty. Monday, the Gamecocks come home for the first time in a month for a single game against the P-C Blue Hosemen. Petoskey will probably use Bill Camp in this all-important state contest. No new changes inl the Carolina I lineup is expected. F. F. Youngue I will probably work behind the < plate replacing Mitchell Scott who broke his right index finger last Monday in a practice game. Scot ty was going for a low throw-in and the ball hit him on the tip of the finger, breaking it, and shelving him for the season. Keith Cribb played the middle garden against Furman last week end and he may get the nod against Duke, too. Barney Dusen bury had been going great guns, but gave way to the long-ballI hitter, Cribb. Carolina's pitching is still in bad shape, although Charlie Long, reliable left-hander, and Bo Hagan pitched a great game in Greenville last week only to be edged out by the alert Hurricane. Between them they allowed only three hits while their mates gathered in eleven. However, the runs are what pay off and Carolina was outscored 4-3. Throughout the season the af fable red-haired Long has showed a steady brand of pitching cou pled with a cool head in the clutch. His southpaw slants are well mixed up. Pet.6ukey A1l, probably count very heavily on Long. since Moore and Szakacsi have failed to come around as ex-' pected.
