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.
Singleton lost a decision to Don

e baseball coach.
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.

Team Practices
For First Meet
The Gamecock tennis team began
)ractice on the courts behind De
]aussure college Friday afternoon
n preparation for its opener
gainst Clemson's Tigers March
!8 at Clemson.
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 other team members include
[heo Constan, John Jeffries,
seorge Roth and Bernard Mc
4anus, all returning lettermen.
Practice has been held up be
ause work wasn't complete on the
ourts, which gives the team unly
wo weeks to get ready for the
oerennially strong Clemson Tigers.

tches Billy Laval of Newberry
both accepted and it will high
light the festivities.
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. (
