Cadets Get Win
As Swimmers
Lose Last Meet
By L. 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. Time, 3:27.6.
400-yard free style: Duvall (C)
first; Smith (SC) second; McClean
(C) third. Time, 6:24.0.
400-yard r e I a y: Matthews,
Moody, Harvey (C). Time, 4:28.0.
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.
