RALPH GREGORY, Sporte Editor Paul Phillips George Johnson Jerry Rollins RALPH GREGORY: Hi, Sport! Depending on what they did against The Citadel Wednes day night the Gamecocks face a crucial road trip today against North Carolina and a follow up game against N. C. State tomorrow. It will take at least a split of these two to stand a chance of overtaking Duke. A double defeat might even drop them out of a playoff slot. You can bet your boots that the two North Carolina nines will be going all out to knock off the Gamecocks, too. They have very little chance to make the playoffs but they would still be glad to knock USC out of the running. Both teams have experienced rough sledding so far. Each one is barely c staying over the .500 mark but they are plenty dangerous. r Tar Heel pitcher Joe Pazdan had a 5-1 mark through last weekend and he will probably draw the nod against the Gamecocks. If not, North Carolina has Billy Lore, a right- t hander who has lost only one game, too. ' t' N. C. State is trouble, too. They were the first team in c the conference to beat Wake Forest before the Gamecocks t turned the trick. Right now Wake Forest is in third place behind the Gamecocks with North Carolina and N. C. State tied for fourth. Those fourth placers are just itching to be v the spoilers of the league. TRIBUTE TO WADIAK A trophy case designed to hold the jersey and bronze shoes of Steve Wadiak was dedicated yesterday in the lobby of b Maxcy college. The case is to remain in Maxey until the new administration building is finished. It will then be per- s manently placed in the new building. al Coach Rex Enright unveiled the case only a few hours f after Wadiak was named as recipient of the Blue Key Ath- F letic award for 1952, an award made annually to the most j outstanding athlete of the senior class. {) JUST CHECKIN' . . . The Citadel had seven men hitting over .300 going into Wednesday night's game at Orangeburg. Topping them was Duby Rierson with a .470 mark.. . . Otis Rawl showed his sharpest form of the season against Davidson Tuesday. He walked only three, allowed only four balls hit out of the in field. Davidson had only four men left on thanks to some sharp fielding plays. A double play cut off one threat. Em mett Dietz threw out two runners attempting to steal and a relay from centerfield by Jimmy Cox cut off Fred Morrow who was trying to stretch a triple into an inside-the-park homer. . .. Jimmy Cox would probably like to face Davidson pitching in every game. He went four for seven in the two game series with the Wildcats. His average jumped nearly 70 points. . .. A couple of Carolina's tennis men were sched uled to enter the state meet at P. C. yesterday. Otis Rawl took over the batting lead for the Gamecocks Tuesday as he rapped out two hits in four attempts while Johnny Stokes was going hitless in three trips. Rawl's aver age jumped to .363 while Stokes dropped to .318. Emmett Dietz is the only other regular with a .300 mark. Dietz is the leading slugger with four doubles and three home runs to give him 22 total bases. Billy Stephens leads in stolen bases with six while Dietz has the most runs 'batted in, nine. Rawl is the top pitcher, too, sporting a 5-0 record after a six-hit win over Davidson Tuesday. He has a 1.76 earned run average. He is tops in strikeouts with 44.
