RALPH GREGOY, Sp.r.. gdier Paj P Geore Job Jerry Mi.ue. RALPH GREGORY: Hi, Sport! The Carolina baseball team ran into a tough customer ir its first game so that even though they looked good they came out on the short end of a 3-1 score. The main weak. ness was an inability to hit; they got only two safeties, one Billy Stephens' booming triple off the first pitch from Duke hurler Joe Lewis and the other a fifth inning single by Haynie Floyd. The defense made a couple of errors but none of them were costly and during a crucial spot they came up with the ball nicely. Jimmy Cox and Billy Stephens made good plays on weak rolling ground balls. The pitching, as expected, was good. Heyard Tunstall, half of the twin team from Darlington, did all a pitcher could be expected to do short of a shutout. He was a little wild in the first few innings but settled down to hold the Duke sluggers at bay until the sixth when they got two runs. Otis Rawl came on in the ninth after Tunstall had been lifted for a pinch-hitter and looked much more poised on the mound than last year. He fanned two of the three men to face him and got the third on a roller back to the hill. Duke was fortunate enough to stack its hits together so that they got enough runs to win. They have practically the entire team that won the Southern Conference crown last year so they were a pretty tough bunch to test a lot of rookies. But even in losing the Birds looked pretty nearly equal to Duke. A better comparison of their strength will be presented Monday and Tuesday when they visit Furman. Then they en tertain Clemson Friday and Saturday. Both of these teams were winner. of t year's series, Furman 3-1 and Clemson 4-0. Clemson opened its season Monday against Michigan State, a team the Gamecocks played yesterday and face again today. Michigan State won both ends of a double header, 13-3 and 5-1, getting 24 hits to Clemson's eight. SIBT JINX Coach Jess Alderman's boxing team is always the brides maid but never the bride in the Southern Invitational boxing tournament. In the past four years they have finished second three times and third once. They wound up right behind LSU this year. LSU has won the team title for four straight years now. This looked like the year for the Gamecocks and they were conceded a good chance to take the title as the nWeet went into its final round. Both they and LSU had five fight ers in the final round. Carolina needed at least three wins to take the team title. As it happened they got only one winner, Emmett Gurney in the 147-pound class, and lost four fights by split decisions. Allen George lost a close fight to Miami's Mickey Demos in the 125-pound division. Then Chuck Davis met LSU's Calvin Clary. Davis fell behind in the first round, then got better in the second. He opened a cut on Clary's nose and the fight was stopped. Clary was declared the winner according to college rules since he was ahead on points, but Davis was growing stronger and could probably have won in another round. Emmett Gurney won his title and the Gamecocks had t< have both of their remaining bouts for the title. Howard Collins met Gordon Peresich of LSU in the 165-pound class and dropped another split decision. Chuck Spann then jabbec George Kartalian of Syracuse for the first two rounds of th( 178-pound division and seemed to have his title sewed up However, as he was protesting a foul In the third round the Syracuse slugger floored Spann with a vicious right. A knockdown counts two points automatically. According t< the judges those two points were enough to give the SyracusE man the win. The Gamecocks still plan to enter the NCAA tourney anc may surprise by placing pretty high in the national tourney JUST CHECKIN' . . During his career as a Gamecock boxer Emmett Gurne3 has lost only one bout, that to LSU's Danny Orsak. He hau avenged that loss three times in tournament action agains' Orsak. He had a 7-0-0 record this year, Including two wini in the SIBT. . . . Clemson's Billy Hair, regular rightfieldei on last year's Tiger baseball team, is sitting the basebal season out this year. Seems that he had a little academi4 trouble and is having to concentrate on his studies in orde1 to be eligible for football next year. . . . The entire infiekc of the Gamecocks is composed of men who have seen actiot in other sports while at USC. Catcher Emmett Dietz an< Thirdbaseman Billy Stephens were on the football team las1 season and Jimmy Cox, second baseman, was on the fresh man team in 1950. Firstbaseman Al Spotts and Shortstoj Tom Hofferth were both members of this year's basketbal sqa. . .. The only man on this year's track squad with any collegiate experience is shot-putter Paul Stephens who was s member of the 1950 squad.. . .
