RALPH GREGORY:
Hi, Sport!
It's a custom with The Gamecock to allow the new staff
to put out the final issue each semester. For that reason
this will be my last column as sports editor. From now on
you'll be checking the works of another ardent Gamecock r
I
sports fan.
It's been a long time since I put my first sports page to I
bed. Back during the spring semester of last year I took f
over from Rudy Thigpen and held out through the fall se- f
mester of this year and the present spring semester. During
this time I've had the pleasure of working with some of the
better men on this campus. Most of the athletes and coaches
on this campus are great fellows to work with. They've been
very co-operative with me, supplying the news readily.
To these men I'd like to extend my thanks, the athletes
and coaches first. Then to Don Barton, affable sports pub
licity chief whose news releases have been a great help to
filling up these columns.
My staff deserves credit,' too, for much of the material
that has found its way onto the sports pages. Paul Phillips,
"Red" Johnson and Jerry Rollins have spent much of their
time banging out stories about campus sports.
To the baseball team and Coach Ted Petoskey thanks for
some swell trips and some exciting games. Even though we
did lose a few. That baseball team will be tough next year.
With this signoff here's hoping the new sports editor, Paul
Phillips, is given plenty to crow about next year.
BASEBALL ENDS
Freshman Tom Hofferth, shortstop, paced the Carolina
batsmen for the season which just ended. He had a .322
average to squeeze by Catcher Emmett Dietz.
Dietz was the power man with four home runs, seven
doubles, and 13 runs batted in. In addition Dietz led the team
in runs scored with 15. Thirdbaseman Billy Stephens was
tops in stolen bases with nine.
Otis Rawl, who finished third in hitting, was the leading
pitcher with a 5-1 record. He also led in strikeouts.
The final record was a disappointing 9-8. After a great
start that saw them with a 7-3 record at one time the Game
cocks hit a few bad luck streaks and lost out in the race for
the playoffs.
JUST CHECKIN' . ..
Since 1925 the Carolina basketball teams have won 294
games against 240 defeats. The Gamecocks have had 19
winning seasons against eight losing ones. . . . Since taking
over as head basketball coach at Carolina in 1940 Coach
Frank Johnston has compiled a record of 105 victories against

Emmett Gurney leaves for San Antonio, Texas, Sunday
at 12:25 p. m. He is sponsored by the Air Force ROTC
which gave him a new robe with University of South
Carolina ROTC emblazoned on the back. It would be a
pretty nice gesture for as many students as possible to
se Garmey off. He leaves from the Columbia Airport at
the above mentioned, time. Many of the air force boys
are planning to be there so how about joining the crowd?
