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. Frank Sher
er, Tom Mace. and Dean Rivers
are the only rett ining lettermen

available to back up Camp just
now. 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.

ivalry Dates
ied In 1931
The Gamecocks lost the first game
in 1901, 13-0, but came back to
blank the big boys 16-0 in 1903.
But the following years were dis
astrous for the lesser-known Birds
and they lost 59-0 in 1909, 20-0 in
1914, 14-0 in 1919 and 45-0 in 1930
before Laval broke the streak in
1931.
It will he the first meeting be
tween Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd
and Rex Enright of South Caro
lina. Dodd believes in speed and
deception while Enright relies on
ecura y. oth employ the quick
opening T. 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.

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.

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
