C. TANKERSLEY The boasts of two collegiate swimming coaches were both real ized Saturday as the Citadel Cadets downed a struggling Caro ina team, 45 to 30, at the Citadel pool. Carolina Coach Jimmy Ratcliff ast week quoted Ronald Reiley, !adet coach, as saying, "We are go ing to whip Carolina, even if it is :ur first meet." Ratcliff came back with, "Maybe, but we expect a bet ter score than we have gotten all season." And that's the way it came out. Approximately 300 fans saw the Citadel's first swimming team in 3everal years give the weakened Gamecocks their fifth defeat in five starts and in their last meet of the season. The odd length of the Citadel pool accounted for longer time counts. Scoring: 300-yard medley: Koluch, Lamb, Dunham (SC). Time, 4:12.2. 200-yard free style: Harvey (C), first; Smith (SC) second; Ward law (SC) third. Time, 2:46.2. 50-yard free style: Matthews (C) first; Darby (SC) second; Reilly (C) third. Time, 26.8. Diving: McLaurin (C) first; Moore (C) second; Lamb (SC) third. 100-yard free style: Young (C) first; Darby (SC) second; Kidd (C) third. Time, 1:09.9. 150-yard back stroke: Lamb (SC) first; Schaff (C) second; Browning (C) third. Time, 2:01.5. 200-yard breast. stroke: Koluch (SC) first; Fletcher (C) second; Dawson (SC) third.

Sportsquiz Billy Kincaid has knocked over the Gamecock Sportsquiz for the third week in a row, correctly identifying last week's r6ystery man as Ed Walsh. For the second week in a row, Billy was the only contestant to send in the right answer. He wins two passes to the Carolina Theatre. This week more centestants are expected to turn up with thle identity of a smart, good baseball player who never lived down a boner which led to his Giants' los ing the 108 senior loop pennant. This fellow was Manager John McGraw's only hope after the de parture of Fred Tenney from the Gilant keystone slot, and he might have been much better if he could have ignored the countless jibes which he suffered as a result of his boner. Hailing from the Mid west, he was an exceptionally good golfer, and an expert at chess, bridge, and last, but not least, ilgebra. Address all answers to Game.. ~ock Sports, Campus.
