RALPH GREGORY:
"Country" Camp stole the show from the rest of his team
mates Tuesday with a sterling relief job against Davidson.
It was the first time this year that Bill has hit his full stride.
He received his first win of the year against the Wildcats.
. Camp came in for Grady Faircloth in the fourth inning
with one man on and nobody out. He gave up one hit and
blanked the Wildcats for six innings. During his stay on the
mound Davidson could get only three men on base. Bill struck
out four and walked only two.
The slender righthander helped to win his own game in
the sixth when he singled to drive in two runs.
It was good news for the Birds as they have sorely needed
some pitching strength as
well as some hitting power.
They got both in the win over
Davidson. The Gamecocks got
11 hits including a home run
and two doubles.
Tomorrow in Charleston
the Birds will take on The Cit
adel in a doubleheader in an
attempt to continue their
winning ways. It will prob
ably be the veterans right
handers on the mound against
the boys from the port city.
Grady Faircloth has been
nominated to pitch the opener
with Camp set to go in the
nightcap.
The outfield has been
shifted to add some hitting
power to the impotent bats of
the Gamecocks. Billy Stephens is now playing rightfield with
Charley Stephenson located in left. Stephenson had three for
four against Furman.
Citadel has been an up and down team with a won-lost
average less than .500. They won over Furman in a slugfest
this week, 14-11.
Just Checkin' ...
The Gamecocks hit the century mark in hits against Da
vidson Tuesday when they got 11 off the Wildcat hurler....
The first home run of the year was hit by Otis Rawls against
Furman in the last inning of the nightcap. During the inning
the Birds got six runs but lost 10-8. Demos Jones hit one over
the left field wall against Davidson with nobody on base. One
man was on when Rawls hit his, an inside the park blow....
Bobby Rogers went hitless in the twin bill with Furman in
six trips up. He came back in the Davidson scrap with four
for five, one of which was a double off the right field fence
in the first inning. . . . Charley Stephenson got three for four
against Furman. He slapped a sharp single to left in a pinch
hit appearance for Camp in the ninth inning of the first game
and had two for three in the second game when he played
left field in the place of Rube Wells. . . . Wells got in on the
pinch hit act against Davidson. He singled in the ninth inning
with two away to drive in Charley Stephenson with the win
ning run. . .. In seven pinch hit appearances Charley Stephen
son has been retired only twice. He scored the tying run in
the 14 inning battle wvith Duke and the winning run against
Davidson . . . Inability to hit in the clutch is evidenced by
the number of men left on base by the Birds. In the first 14
games there were 116 left stranded for an average of more
than 8 per game . '. . Injuries and sickness are still bothering
the baseballers. Gus Allen was a victim of mumps and Fred
Duckett was hit by a foul tip that split his throwing hand,
That knocked dut both of the catchers so Duckett had te
catch the Davidson game with the injured hand. It dlidn't
seem to hurt his hitting, however, as he smacked a hard
dlouble to left field and made several nice throws to make
Davidson a little wvary of stealing. Grady Faircloth was still
weak from his encounter with measles and had to retire in
the fourth inning.

Block C Club; 25
New Members Do
By J. B. SIMS
Woul'd you like to become a mem
ber of the Block "C" club? Ac.
tually there's nothing to it!
To be eligible, you have to do
one of these things: Play base
ball, don a football uniform, be
able to handle yourself on the bas
ketball court or throw leather for
the boxing team. Others who earn
letters are eligible, but the above
will give you an idea. Keep read
ing, it gets better.
Twenty-five boys became mem
bers last week, and they really had
the "block" thrown at them. First
on the list was the belt line and
then three laps around the cam
pus. On the swinging end were
such hefties as Bishop Strickland,
Harry Stewart and Louis Harrel
son. The group had to sing in
front of Sims and then parade
down town. While parading, belts
and paddles were applied.
A member dropped the contents
of an egg from the third floor of
the block "C" club, and each mem
ber used his mouth to do the
catching. Later the party took off
for the Pinewood Lake Club.
Each new prospect was blind
folded and led into a room where
a rigged up electric chair awaited
them. After that, a raw oyster
was on the menu. As I said before
there's nothing to it!
After the ordeal the boys had
a party lasting from 7 to 12 p. m.
The group consumed 30 pounds of
boiled ham and ten of lunch meat.
Cokes were served? Grady Decell,
Carolina boxer, was in charge of
festivities.
Boys who went through the
initiation were: Mickey Best, Spec
Granger, Randy Coleman, Dwane
Morrison, John Peterson, Emmett
Gurney, Bill Renfrow, Chuck Davis,
Stan Hamilton, Don Fortner, Al
len George and Don Johnson.
Also, John Laterre, George Clau
son, Zack Taylor, Jimmy Cooper,
Walter Shea, Moose Kahle, Monk
Quinn, Bob King, Hootie Johnson,
Billy Stevens, Fred Duckett, Dick
Balka and Lockhart MacLendon.
These boys will receive their
letters next year.

Fresh from a 6-5 win over David
son's Wildcats the Carolina Game
cocks travel to Citadel tomorrow
for a doubleheader with The Cita
del's Bulldogs. Grady Faircloth
and Bill Camp are expected to hurl
for the Birds who are seeking their
third win of the year.
The Gamecocks, scored two runs
in the ninth inning to edge the
Wildcats 6-5. They rapped out 11
hits to compare with the eight of
Davidson.
Bill Camp was the big hero of

Golf Team Meets
Clemson; Seeks
Sixth Victory
The golf team will be out for
revenge when it meets Clemson to
day at the Forest Lake club at
1:30 p. m. Clemson beat the Game
cocks earlier this year.
George Dial, captain of the team,
has been the mainstay this year,
shooting sub-par scores in most of
the matches. With an average of
72.5 strokes per round, he has
established himself as one of the
favorites to cop the State Inter
collegiate title.
It is next week at Spartanburg.
Other members of the team are
Chuck Prezioso, Dwane Morrison,
Art Stobbe, Candler Spence and
Bob Westerfield.
The Gamecocks have won five
matches this season while losing
two. They have beaten Newberry
twice, Furman twice and The Cita
del once.
The match against The Citadel
was won 14% to 8% with Dial,
Prezioso and Morrison shooting 68,
69 and 73, respectively. The other
loss was to Davidson.
The schedule for the remainder
of the season is:
May 3. WOfford here.
May 4: The Citadel there.
May 14: Wofford there.
May 15-18: State Tournament at
Spartanburg.
Two matches will be played with
Fort Jackson. The dates have not
been announced yet.

hurled six innings of one-hit relief
ball, allowing no runs during term
on the hill. Camp also drove in two
of the Bird runs with a single in
the sixth inning.
'The Birds dropped a twin bill
to Furman last weekend, losing the
opener 6-2 and the nightcap 10-.
Citadel is expected to field a
hard-hitting team although their
pitching is known to be weak. They
lost to Clemson three times and
have split with Furman in a pair.
The win over Furman was by a
14-11 score, proving the Bulldogs
have a good hitting attack.
The Gamecocks will be seeking
their third win of the season
against the Cadets. Their only
wins so far were over Furman 2-0
and Davidson. They have suffered
12 setbacks.
Still seeking to add sonic power
to the line-up Coach Ted Petookey
has placed Billy Stephens and
Charley Stephenson in the outfield.
Both have been hitting well in the
last three games.
After the Citadel series the
Birds travel to Davidson for a
single game next Tuesday and re.
turn home for single games with
North Carolina State Friday and
North Carolina Saturday. Both the
North Carolina nines are perched
at the top of the conference along
with Duke and Wake Forest who
follow Clemson.
After that series come Clemson
and Citadel for return double.
headers. Clemson is as yet unde.
feated in the conference.
Jokes concerning Noah's Ark are
again becoming popular. Here's one
of the favorites:
It seems that Noah's Ark had
sprung a leak. The dog strutted
forth and volunteered the use of
his nose for a plug which failed,
a woman (probably Noah's wife)
volunteered the use of her elbows
which also failed. Then Noah, with
a gesture of extreme impatience,
sat on the leak for the remainder
of the flood. Henceforth, dogs'
noses have been cold-so have
women's elbows-and man has
turned his coattails to the fire in
cold weather.
