Bird Trackmen To Face Rough 1949 Schedule The Gamecock track team, reel ing from the losses of Norman "Scooter" Rucks, 440-yard star, and Ed Coleman, shot' put and javelin standout of last year, will face a rough nine-meet schedule beginning April 2. Carolina's new track coach, Weems Baskin, will have to build from the bottom up. He'll count on several freshmen stars to bol ster his squad, but he's still in pretty poor shape for the '49 campaign. Baskin would not single out any individuals this early but he said there were possibilities among the material that reported and he ex pected to win a few meets, at least. The Gamecock trackmen are concentrating on one main object at the present time-that's the Southern Invitational Indoor Meet to be held at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill on February 26. Baskin hasn't des ignated just who will make the trip from the Gamecock's squad, but he reports that at least five or six Gamecocks will be entered. Candidates for the squad have been working out each afternoon around Davis Field and the few prospects that Baskin can count upon should be in good condition for the coming season. Baskin takes over his job from Sterling Dupre, who resigned to accept a simPar position at the University of Florida following last season. After the indoor meet this month, the Birds will compete with the following teams: April 2-University of Georgia, Columbia. April 9-Davidson, Davidson, N. C. April 16-North Carolina State, Raleigh.

The familiar cry of 'take me out to the ball game" comes to every sports lov er's heart when warm weather comes around. And the Univer sity of South Carolina -is no ex ception. Of course, Carolina's indoor teams haven't been producing as fans expected and the students are anxious to forget about the dis astrous basketball road trip, the 4-4 boxing tie with The Citadel and the humiliating defeat handed our swimming team by Georgia. And, naturally, the fans will pur sue other fields of sports interest. That's where the Gamecock baseb)all team conmes into promi nence. True, the Gamecocks' 1948 record wvasni't impressive and Coach Ted Petoskey hasn't many new additions this year, but Amer ica's favorite sport still draws the' attention of many Carolina sports fans. Being the site of numerous ma .or' league farm club's spring training camps. the state will be alive with baseball activity this sp)ring. And Petoskey has indi cated his team will play as many exhibition games with the pros as is humanly possible. Playing against these pros, Petoskey will have a formidable run-getting lineup, but a weak pitching staff, a weakness that brought on a six wvon, 14-loss record last year. There may be a few minor changes in the Bird lineup this year, brought about by Freddie Bargiacchi's inclination toward professional baseball instead of college ball, but the nucleus of the team will remain the same. The only newcomer who is practically a sure h)et for firstestring is Bill Swan, former Wofford outfielder, who'll fill Barney Dusenbury's: Enjoy Wilsoni Owens' Delicious Ice Cream at Your Cakiteen.

Dusenbury will be switched to second base, Bargiacchi's old position. A famliar figure will be patrol ing left field this spring--Jack Couch. He earned a letter in 1947, led the team in slugging and had >ne of the deadliest throwing arms in collegiate ball. Petoskey has been using Couch as a catcher, but the big, heavy-set football halfback is really an outfielder ind he'll probably be used there this year. If any one were to ask for a starting baseball lineup today, it rnight read like this: F. F.

The Gamecocks need only one more impressive victory in their .next five Southern Conference games to be in the running for a conference tournament berth. A win over The Citadel might not be sufficient, but if the locals can take either Maryland or North Carolina, whom they meet Satur day and Monday nights in the field house, then a tournament spot would be a cinch. Coach Johnson could offer no excuses for his team's poor show ing against George Washington, Maryland and Furman-in that order-but he's still sure the boys will be in there fighting all the way. The recent road trip seemed to prove that big Jim Slaughter is the key to Carolina's basketball success. As Slaughter goes, so goes the team. Both the Terps and the Colonials managed to hold' Slaughter intact, while forward Henry Martin surged ahead of the big boy in state scoring, and in so doing, they stymied the Carolina offense. Furman had no such luck,, but still the locals couldn't get going and the Paladins breezed to a win in Greenville. The Johnsonmen were all steam ed up prior to their trip to Yan keeland, but now that their sails have been deflated and the bubble has burst, there's no telling what to expect when Maryland, North CroinaandDaidaon invadb %JG lumbia. If the team can regain its lost spirit, then one victory wouldn't be too remote, but if the Northern trip has a lasting effect, then Carolina had better forget about the conference tournament. Johnson's - starting lineup will probably remain the same against Maryland tomorrow night. He'll use Henry Martin and Red Cole man at forwards; Jim Slaughter at center; and Cy Szakacsi and Harry Parone at guards. Earl Dunham's freshmen will play the preliminary game against a local team beginning at 6:30 p. ml. The Biddies' :tarting lineup will probably be: LaTorre and Kahle at forwards; Greene at cen ter and Boyle and Cox at guards. The frosh will be putting an un defeated record on the line, having won from Citadel and Clemson, state schools, and several prep and semi-pro teams over the season. Hard-wvorking Lip LaTorre at for wvard, Don Cox at guardl and Bob Kahle have continually bolstered the Biddies' attack with a fancy brand of offensive basketball, and '3 again they'll be favored to win.
