JOE MOLONY, Sports Editor LLOYD HUNTINGTON JACK MORGAN Ass't Sports Editor Intramural Editor LEONARD DUCKETT, Sports Feature Editor It's No Bolony By Joe Molony The Baseballers Made Us Out Liars It sure feels good to be winning for a change. We were beginning to wonder if Carolina would ever produce a win ner and, to be honest, we doubted seriously if she could or would. 6 But just like numerous other second-guessers, the baseball team has made us out liars. Not only has the team won, but it's been leading the Southern Conference for two weeks. And we said something about the pitching .staff being poor weak, erratic, undermanned; and what have you, early in the season. To disprove our observation, it's been good pitching that's put the Gamecocks on top. And the good pitching came from hitherto mediocre pitchers. What's caused this big change in men like Frank Sherer, Walker Anderson and the rest? 0 It's All In Their Minds It can all be summed up in two words-"mental attitude." Whereas, these same men resigned themselves to their fate last year and, unconsciously developed a losing complex,. to day they're confident that they're better than the hitters. They aren't unsure any more. If Carolina got bad breaks last year then they've surely evened up in 1949. The players now realize one all-important fact-that a good team makes its breaks, good or bad. They're beginning to push the other team and cause it to make the mistake. No longer do the Gamecocks throw away ball games by sheer absentmindedness. And-believe it or not-it's this mental change that's caused Carolina to win a few ball games this year even though it has the same material that won only 6 while losing 14 last season. NO BOLONY Coach Ted Petoskey's wearing a big smile these days. He's got Harry Parone back in the fold again. Did he miss Parone? Well, who wouldn't miss a .375 hitter?? . . . Don Willis says our Sportsquiz is the only kind of quiz at Caro lina he can pass. .. Parone's return to his regular post was just what the doc tor ordered. But what will Coach Petoskey do with the ex cess talent-Keith Cribb and Kirby Rader? 2AW& Owd IZ bLuII in Lhe first Duke game as a pinch hitter, driving in the tying run in the late innings with a sharp single. Cribb hadn't produced in ten times up, but he's 'reportedly a slow starter, anyway, and there's no telling when he's liable to hit-and hit cowsistently, too. But with Parone ruled eligible again, Cribb and Rader are left in the cold. Their jobs aren't lost by any means, but they'll have a rough time breaking in with Red Wilson lead ing the team in hitting, Barney Dusenbury hovering around the .330 mark and Parone hitting like his old self. It's a ticklish situation for a coach. We don't envy Mr. Petoskey one bit. . . . The Big Four plan, enthusiastically presented by one of the smartest men in baseball, Jack Coombs of Duke University, has just about fizzled out. We haven't heard from The Citadel, Clemson or Furman yet. .. . Next week's road trip to the Tarheel state will make or b)reak Carolina's chances in baseball. If they beat Duke and North Carolina then they'll be hard to stop. But if they lose ? Well-- . . . After our April Fool's issue, Cliff Turner has been called "Coach" by all who greet him. Wonder how we'd do if Cliff was coach ? ... Charlie Trippi, Georgia base ball coach, brought a smart-looking outfit to Columbia. But then, that guy Trippi's a smart cookie anyhow. Remember the baseball contract deal he pulled with the Atlanta Crack ers? . . . Wake Forest, North Carolina and the other Tarheel colleges are laying claim to the Southern conference chain l)ionship already. Coach Petoskey is silent. But he knowvs wvho IS on top. . . . A news item from Clemson, after P-C swamped the Tigers 19-5 in baseball, said "Presbyterian College hit its way into state baseball competition, etc." But the catch was that Clemson had beaten P-C 4-3 the first time. Maybe Clemson thought she was the big wheel in the state. At least, that's what it sounded like. What'd Petoskey say about it? "Aw, let 'em argue among themselves. It's the record that counts-not words." * ~giv your hair e - t "just-combed" ok-all day long!

Despite the big dif ,nd ferences in playing the two posi m- tions, he plays second base like a >ut veteran.

'This es- is the hardest play that a second per sacker has to make regularly, and nd Stephens is improving all the time. rer Bargiacehi's fielding was almost flawless last season and attracted !ns the attention of several major ng league scouts. He made the hard so chances look easy and could throw iat from any position, but he had one all weakness. His hitting was never e n outstanding. r - Stephens has stood out at the Isi- plate in two games this season. ,nd Against Duke he collected three nt- hits in five trips to the plate and me his four hits was instrumental in ied beating Davidson and keeping the Gamecocks in the Southern con sty ference lead.

By taking the first four events, the shot put, high jump, mile run and 440-yard dash, the Wildcats sewed up the meet. In all, David son got nine out of 14 first places. The five Gamecock winners were Ray McKenzie, who was clocked at 9.8 seconds in the hun- I dred yard dash; Billy Buck, who won the broad jump with a leap of 20 feet, 10% inches; McKenzie's 23 seconils for the 220-yard dash; Ben Badger and Bayard Pickett, who tied in the pole vault with 11 feet, six inches and Buck's 168 foot heave of the javelin.
