Sportsquiz For the second consecutive week, Billy Kincaid, Box 2231, is our Sportsquiz winner. He was the only entry to correctiy identiUy last week's mystery man as George (Nap) Rucker, former southpaw pitching great of the Brooklyn Dodgers. To Billy, our congratulations and two f r e e passes to the comfortable Carolina Theater, where "When Willie Comes Marching Home"~ is now showing. This week's athlete is also from the baseball ranks. He came fror.i a Pennsylvania coal mine to at tract attention of the scouts with his blazing fast ball. Most of the major league clubs weren't inter ested, however, when they learned that his curve ball was almost non existant. After kicking around the minors for a few years, he was finally drafted by the Chicago White Sox. lie obtained the greatest break of his life when he drew Elmer Stricklett, a spit-ball pitcher for a roommate. Stricklett taught the rookie howv to throw a spitter, and he pitched the hitless wonders to the pennant and world champion ship in 1906. If you know the identity of the person described, send your an swer to Gamecock Sports, campus mail.
