After two disastrou's losses team from first to eighth spo of their doldrums when they They rode to a double victory over Furman on the strong right arm of Bill Camp and hard hitting by the entire team. Camp got credit for both wins. They kept up their winning ways against Davidson and climbed back into fifth place with a 5-4 win. Golfers Win Three The golfers, led by sharpshoot ing Dave Smith and Bob Thoren, have downed three state foes with out a setback. They have beaten Clemson, Wofford, and The Cita del. Dave Smith, Gamecock cap tain, lost his first two matches of the year against The Citadel and Wofford, but Thoren, Dial, Clem mons, and Williams were always there to take up the slack. Teniis Team Breaks Even In tennis, the Birds are even up in state matches. They were up set by a fighting Citadel team and lost twice to the strong PC team. They beat Clemson, Wofford, and Furman. Ben Turner and Fred Atkinson continue to pace the team. Atkin son upset Kay Kaiser, PC's No. 2 man, and Turner extended state champion Bobby Spurrier, as the Blue Hosemen edged them out, 5-4, In their second encounter. Track Team Short-Handed Then comes the sore spot. The short-handed, undermanned track team has been giving Coach Weems Baskin headaches in his first year as Bird mentor. Losing Norman "Scooter" Rucks, Ed Coleman, and Wayne Brackett, plus others, in one year was a hnrd Onolgh b11ow, but when so few candidates even tried for the team, things were at rock bottom. Ray McKenzie, Ben Badger, Charlie McGill, Billy Buck, and Gene Brown have been the only consistent point makers. McKen zie's performances in the 100 and 220-yard dashes have been out standing.

Linksmen Put Perfect Slate On Line Today Carolina's golf team puts its clean slate onl the line twice this week when they meet Furman to day in Greenville and Clemson Saturday at Clemson. This is the first meeting of the year with the Furman linksmen. The Birds hold a 17-10 victory over the Tigers. Besides Clemson, Caro lina has beaten Wofford and The Citadel in the state with no losses. Against Clemson strong winds caused the scores to be slightly higher than usual, but Bob Thoren shot a respectable 73 to take medal ist lionors. Dave Smith and Thoren each scored three points and then teamed with Dial and Clenimons, rea.pectively, to add more points to the team total. Capt. Dave Smith lost his first match of the year when he ran in to hot Citadel captain, Walker In gram, who shot a 71. Despite his defeat lie posted the low medal score for the South Carolina team, a 72. Dial, Thoren, and Clemmons caie through to run up a 13-5 score. Wofford's P. .j. Boatwright, a veteran despite his youth, handed Smith his second straight setback when he shot a 72 for the Terriers. Again Smith was low man for the Gamecocks with i a 7-1. Carolina SCO(ed an 11-7 win.
