Vengef Baseball C Get Outsid By JOE MOLONY With the inviting prospect of outside workouts in the warm weather, the list of Gamecocki baseball candidates has practically! doubled. Coach Ted Petoskey has 30-odd hopefuls cavorting around Davis field. shagging flies, swing ing bats and throwing the ball around. By March 1, if the weather continues to be warm, the team will begin regular practice ses sions on the outside. In the meanwhile, workouts in the field house and brief outside work will be continued. Only two positions are unchal lenged. Jim Pinkerton has no com petition at third base and Johnny Sykes is the lone shortstop. Six men are trying out for catcher, eight for second base, five for first base and around 15 for pitcher. But even with this large-sized turnout, there are no new pitching prospects. And that was the weak spot last year. Only two left handers turned up for early work outs, Walker Anderson and Jim Fishe- both of whom tried ont last year. Anderson worked in one game at the close of the season, showed some promise. but left. Holdout Bill Camp, workhorse of the mound corps last year, finally reached an agreement with Petoskey. He'll be the mainstay on what continues to appear a weak pitching department.

Cy Szakaesi and Bo Hagan will report as soon as basketball and spring training are over. Probably the biggest dogfight of all will occur around Freddie Bargiacchi's abandoned position second base. Ernie Lawhorn, Lloyd Chinnes, Red Stephens, Barney Dusenbury. Pete Lane, Joe Ingrain an( Chuck Gibson are all candi dates for the wide-open spot. Law horn, Chinnes and Dusenbury were outfielders last year. ' The weak catching seen last year should be a thing of the past. A converte!d outfielder, Jack Couch, who led the team in just about every slugging departmient in 1947, will work here. His strong throwing arm was greatly respect cd w.-hile he played outfield and behind the plate it should be evein more dangerous. Couch will have to fight off Roy 'ields, Tiny Meeh, Bob Bessinger, M. M. Metts and F. F. Younge, a promising little catcher who was developing fast at the clo.ie of last season. The other positions are fairly certain. Joe Johnston alid Donnie Rish will fight it out for first base Pinkerton's anchored on third, Sykes is in at short. Keith Cribb, Bobby Rogers, Gus Allen, Bill Swani and Harry 'arone will piobably play a lot of the outfield. That's the picture, but until Coach Petoskey comes up with a couple of pitchers to help Camp along, his job of bettering the (; and 14 record of 1948 will be a rough one. Since the Big Four will operate this year and Carolina will no longer play teams like Erskine. Newberry and Wofford, the boys will have to hustle more than ever before-if South Caiolina is to hIavv a winning basebali Leam. 7 ~A SNOC LIKE 1H6 ~ _____ AAAtI t4C \ HEC, YOU'VE GOT ciGARETT NANGOVER THAT'S wHly YOUR THROAT'S RAW AND YOU'RE IRRITABLE.

Dodd-coached teams have gained national recognition and iis razzle-dazzle system is -a thing of beauty. All of which will assure fans of a whale of a ball game this fall, even though Tech will be overwhelming favorites. But the dead figure's shown above fail to take in the human element. Aft-er the disastrous sea son last year, the Gamecocks will undoubtedly be "up)" against these big teams. They'll have everything to gain andl nothing to lose against Tech or North Carolina. While, on the other hand, the Yellowjackets and the rest may be a b)it overcon fident. This human element may up)set the (lope sheet and it may prove the determining factor when South Carolina takes to the foot ball field in 19419.

Five Men Return From'48 Golfing STe a lmpiosho The Gamecocks' state champion golf team is taking advantage of the warm weather these days by working out at the Forest Lake Country Club each afternoon. Coach Al Grygo has five return ing veterans with wvhich to work this year; Bob Thoren, state in tercollegiate champion, George Dial III, Dave Smith, Ben Turner of tennis playing fame and Jim Clem mons. But he's still looking for a sixth man. Several prospects have been trying out and are showing promise, but the position is wide open and Grygo urges all students interested in golf to come out. The team will open up March 24 with North Carolina State here. A fter this, the Garnecocks meet Georgia, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, North Carolina State again, Clemson, Furman, The Cita del, and Wofford. They wind up the season with the Southern Con ference and State Intercollegiate tournaments. FOR THOSE WH( FOR A BETTER -DOUG BI YOULL ENJOY MEAL 1 FOR YOUJR ADDE .$6.00 FC ( GOOD FOR ANmyT r oruary au, AV.V aturday ly Favored Maryland ) DUCKETT of Georgia boxing team last ia sends its boxers against the house at 8 o'clock tomorrow a slight edge over the Terps draw with The Citadel. Mary land lost to the Bulldogs, 5-3. Maryland was last seen here In the Southern conference tourna ment iast year and the line-up Sat urday should contain some familiar faces. Eddie Reider, conference champion and strong national con tender for two years, will go again at this weight. Reider packs a mean wallop in either hand and usually swings from the floor with s e e m i n g l y wild roundhouse punches. Against Reider, Coach Jess Al derman will probably send Harry Temple. Temple started out this year like an Indian with a potent shot of good moonshine, but has slowed down considerably. He was TKO'd in his Citadel fight and was held to a draw at Georgia, but with this hard-earned experi ence behind him, he could still be a threat to the Maryland wild man. Salkowski is fighting again for Maryland at 125 and he and Pete Campassi will probably get a chance to continue the rough and sometimes comical melee that was interrupted in the tournament by the final bell. Then, Pete took the decision, but Salkowski is a strong rangy boy with a good left hand that could very easily spell upset. With his weight not remaining constant, Quattrocchi, the sharp punching, Rmonth hoxing KO spec ialist who fought at 130 last year. will be a menace in whatever weight he fights. If he weighs in at 130 again, he will face Joe Stringer, but if his weight is up to 135, his opponent will be'Grady Decell. The Birds caught a Tartar in the supposedly mediocre Georgia Bulldogs. Despite the fact that they went into match with a patched-up line-up, they were lo cally established favorites. Only Ray Avant and Jim Briggman took decisions with Joe Stringer and Harry Temple getting draws. Farrell's decision over Pete Cam passi was close as was Decell's loss to Lee. The 175-Il). fight was stopped in the second round and a TKO awarded to David, the Geor gia fighter. Frank Singleton, Carolina's entry, seemed unhurt and ready to go as he danced light ly toward a corner. Pete Booth, though comparative ly inexperienced, made a good fight of it all the way in the heavyweight division. Though winded, he was unhurt and seemed in good shape at the end. Avant had little trouble in dis posing of his man and was near a knockout at the final bell. Brigg man also outfought Wilkins to earn his decision. Maryland's line-up has not been announced, but Carolina should send out the sanme fighters seen against The Citadel. Probable Carolina line-uap: 125, Pete Cam passi; 130, ,Joe Stringer; 135, Grady Decell; 145, Ray Avant; 155, Harry Temple or Jim. Brigg man; 105, Sylvester Lewis or Harry Temple; 175, Frank Single ton; and heavyweight, Pete Booth. ) ARE LOOKiNG PLACE TO EAT!
