Birds End 13 With Win C The boxing team closed out its 1949 season Saturday night at the field house by beating Georgia 5%-24 in a return match. Geor gia won the first go 5-3 Feb. 18 at Athens. The Gamecock boxers had little trouble taking the Georgians. They won the first five fights, lost only in the 175 and heavyweight divi sions, anu sent Georgia home sur prised, but beaten. Pete Campassi, Joe Stringer and Grady Decell had little trouble de cisioning their foes. Ray Avant followed up with a TKO over Isley in one minute and 33 seconds of the second round. When Jim Briggman decisioned his man after the fight was stopped in one min ute and 43 seconds of the second round, everything was over but the shouting. Carolina had cinched the victory. Hall Looks Good However, it took a newcomer, Charlie Hall. sophomore from Camden, who had never before boxed in a college ring, to add in sult to injury. Hall drew with Georgia's David, but only after he showed the Bulldog a bit of fancy boxing. David, who was somewhat cocky after his TKO victory over Frank Singleton at Athens Febru ary 18, kept the fight on even terms, but he was an awfully sur prised boxer when the fight was stopped in the first round because of a cut over his left eye.

Petoskey came to Carolina last t year from Wofford College, where I he was baseball, basketball and football coach and athletic director. Y His team won 6 and lost 14 last season. At times his charges show ed signs of perking up and shak ing their losing complex, but al most invariably the pitching bog ged down and the team subsequent ly lost. He has the same picture before him this season. He has no new pitchers upon whom he can count and the only one on the staff who can stand competition with Michi gan State, Duke, North Carolina and the rest is Bill Camp, who won three and lost six last year. Frank Sherer, John Mace and several others have been working regularly in p)ractice, but they still haven't p)roved their ability. Bill Camp, who won three and lost six, will take care of most of the early season- work. He's steady and de pendable and one of Petoskey's best bets on the mound Cy Szakacsi and 20o Hagan will be around to bolster the staff later in the season, but Szakacsi has just completed basketball and his arm is still stiff while Hagan is work ing out in football spring training. All other departments are just as strong as last year and Petos key will have little worry with them. Jack Couch, who hit over .350 in 1947 and led the teani in just about every slugging depart ment, has 'been converted from out field to catcher. He's been doing well in practice, Petoskey says, and he should plug this weak spot. Regulars return in every other position. Petoskey ,considers pitching 75 percent of college baseball and he realizes that it's this weakness that's been keeping his ball clubs here below par. However, he's not dliscouraged yet. "We have a couple of nice looking freshman prospects who were wvorking out in the field house early this year," he says, "and we'll be counting on' them next season. We might not do so well this year, but look out for us next year." With this optimistic reminder, the genial coach who made foot ball fame at Michigan and baseball fame at Memphis, Columbia, Mo bile and several points north, con tinu&s teaching his baseball candi dates the fundamentals of a game which he loves dearly--and he says he'll he doing just this until he dies, whether he wins or loses. USC Quits Georgia The Georgia Bulldogs won 12 of 14 games from 1894 to 1942 when Rex Enright decided to quit the series.

Following the Clemson match, he Birds will play The Citadel, Purman, Wofford, Presbyterian md Newberry in the state and )avidson, Wake Forest, North ,arolina State and Richmond in he Southern Conference this year. The Gamecocks' hopes rest with Ben Turner, No. 1 man, and Fred ktkinson. Atkinson was No. 1 man n 1946, but he dropped out of ichool the following year and vasn't eligible in 1948. He con ;inued playing tennis, however, and ie's reportedly in fine condition to ,ive Turner a scrap for the No. 1 ;osition. Atkinson's return and Turner's lecision to report has greatly bol tered the team's chances. Turner vas undecided whether to return his season or not because of nu nerous conflicts, but he's made up kis mind to play tennis and will lefinitely come out and fight At ,inson for the top spot.

The Newberry Indians will at tempt to carry on where they left off last May 8 when they swamped the Birds 14-7. The Indians will field practically the same team this year with several notable changes for the better and again will be slightly favored. However, the picture isn't so bright for Carolina. Petoskey was forced to usV Red Stephens in place of Johnny Sykes at shortstop and several other players haven't yet rounded into passable playing strength because of basketball. See page 10 for resultp of the Newberry-Carolina game. Petoskey will probably start Cy Szakacsi, basketball guard who switched to baseball togs imme diately after the Southern Confer ence tournament in Durham. Szakacsi has been looking very good in practice, Petoskey says, and may mean the difference be tween the two teams. Bill Camp and Frank Sherer will be around to help. The three may share the nine innings. The team will have two new faces in the lineup in addition to Stephens. Jack Couch, who played outfield in 1947, will catch and a newcomer, Joe Ingram, will play second base in Freddie Bargiacchi's place. Bargiacchi left school after last baseball season. Newberry hasn't announced a starting lineup, but it's expected to start Bob Duke, who won last year, with Dusty Scarborough catching.
