Track Te Birds Dow Citadel In The Carolina track team t( surprising 75-46/2-42/2 trians and North Carolina State h Gamecocks, placing in every eN for one more, won six thirds, three fourth spots. The cindermen took firsts vault, which was a iour-way 1 yard dash, the high hurdles, t 4Vdash, and the mile relay. Sonny Wilcher, Carolina's 220 and 440-yard specialist, continued a torrid winning streak set earlier in the season by winning both these events. The Macon, Ga. freshman took the 220 in 22.3 seconds and the 440 in 50.9. Bobby Drawdy won the 100-yard dash in 9.9 seconds, and placed second in the javelin throw and 220-yard dash to lead the Game cock scoring with 11 points. Freshman Gene Berry took first 4onors in the javelin throw. He tossed for 180 and one-half feet. Berry also came in third in the broad jump event. In the pole vault event the Game cocks picked up eight points as Smokey Darouse took first place and Gene Brown and Eddie Robin son tied with State's Feroe and Logan for second. One of the big surprises of the afternoon came when the Game cocks placed first in the high hurdles. The hurdles had pre viously been a barrier for the team. But Jack Martin, having switched from the high jump event to the high hurdles stayed in front to win this event. Freddie Roberts and Garn Mc Bride tied for first in the 880 run. Roberts took the lead from the start and McBride stayed in third spot until the last stretch where he kicked up past State's Speingler even with Roberts. With the match sewed up the cindermen put on an exhibition of speed in the mile relay to win the *ent hands down. Heyward Hornsby got the Gamecocks out in front and each time the baton was handed off the gap got wider. Leon Cunningham and Freddie Roberts kept the distance and anchorman Ernie Hulon provided the final - kick to the meet as he crossed the finish line a good thirty yards ahead of his nearest opponent. This victory was the second straight for the Gamecocks. Last Tuesday the Birds downed the University of Georgia 80-52.

April 28-Davidson, here, base Tennis, Track Leading Sprin The Gamecocks have won 10 games and lost 12 in spring sports events thus far and may have a tough fight gaining a .500 record for the season. The tennis team alone has provided half the Game cock victories, winning five while dropping but two. The netmen have beaten the College of Charles ton twice, Furman, Erskine, and Clemson. They have been beaten by Wofford and The Citadel. Wally Poore, John Speer, George Clauson, Nick Klonaris, Jimmy Potter, and John Heinz have been responsible for most of the wins. In golf the Gamecocks have lost five while racking up only one win. The lone win came against Wof ford. The track team has shown sur prising power by winning two of three events thus far. The cinder men downed the University of Georgia in a dual meet and the Citadel and North Carolina State in a triangular meet. The loss was to Duke, Southern Conference in door champs.

Gurney, who was twice SIBT champ and undisputed Conference champ this year, suffered his first 1953 defeat as Sreenan won 3-0. Gurney got off to a fast start but lost the lead after Sreenan staged a devastating comeback. The impressive Gamecock ad vanced to the finals by beating a hometown favorite, Lynn Nichols, in his first bout and Washington State's Ken Bauguess in the semi finals. Another Gamecock, middle weight Malcolm DeWitt, lost his opener to LSU's Cecil Faulkner, whom he had beaten in a regular season bout. No doubt this was the most bit ter loss of all for the 147-pound fighter who has taken his place at the top of the Carolina boxing greats. For Gurney suffered simi lar defeats in NCAA competition in the past. In 1951 he lost by a split decision in the finals. At tempting to avenge this loss in 1952, he lost by the same route in the semi-finals. Saturday night the gamester was making a climactic attempt for victory after two luck less attempts, and, as fate would have it, Gurney lost in his final opportunity for a NCAA title. ball; Citadel, there, golf; Erskine, there, tennis.

LOOK p AT ALL THEI -a L0 - CHROMIUM! -1- 70 noke Camels Bird Base] Hits Losin The Gamecock baseballers hit a three game losing streak over the past two weeks dropping games to North Carolina and The Citadel twice. The latest loss was to North Carolina's Tar Heels last Friday. Chal Port, All-Southern for the Tar Heels last year, scattered seven singles and didn't wa'k a man in pitching the 8-1 win. The only Gamecock who seemed to be able to solve his slants was Tom Hofferth who singled four times in four trips to the plate. Port struck out nine men during the game and would have had a shut out except for an error by Short stop Fred Dale which allowed Al Spotts to move all the way to sec ond. From that spot he scored on Hofferth's single to left. Coach Ted Petoskey continued to experiment with his lineup in an attempt to find the best combina tion. He moved Hofferth from shortstop to third base and put Frank Ellerbe at shortstop. El lerbe responded with a perfect day in the field and one single in four trips to the plate. Otis Rawls, Whitey Gibson and Gene Molnar made up the starting outfield. Heyward Tunstall, who pitched a two-hitter against Furman in his first start, was hit hard by North Carolina in the first inning and he had to retire before he could get the side out. A couple of misplays in the field along with three solid hits presented the visitors with five runs in the open ing frame and they added two more in the second, both unearned, off Howard Tunstall. Howard, making his first appearance on the mound this year, pitched well after the second inning and got in trouble only in the seventh inning when he allowed one run. During spring holidays the Gamecocks made a two game road trip against The Citadel and lost both times. The first game, played in St. George, was lost mainly because of the wildness of both pitchers and fielders. Al together three pitchers allowed ten walks and a leaky defense made six errors. The Citadel added nine hits to that and pushed across 11 runs while Carolina was able to muster only four. Righthander Paul Chapman re ceived credit for the win although he was relieved by Bob Brooks in the eighth when the Gamecocks scored three of their runs. Haynie Floyd, Otis Rawl and Bud BerryI each got a single and a double to lead Carolina batters. The following day in Charleston The Citadel again wvon over thec Gamnecocks, this time by a 4-2 score. Carolina couldn't get tol Bubba Williams often enough to bank their hits into runs. Al together they managed only seven hits off the curveballing right hander.
