This was a four point drop from his average last week. Against Wake Forest Rawl (01 lected three hits, against D)uke one, and1 went hitless in the Davidson contest. Third baseman Frank Ellerbe uppedl his average 165 points over a three-game span, collecting four hits in the Wake Forest game, one In the Davidson match and one against Duke. His average rose from a dIsmal .143 mark to .308, the second best on the team.

The Gamecocks have little to gain except the prestige of knock ing off their ancient rivals. The Gamecocks have won only seven games while losing ten. Even by sweeping the series they couldn't finish with a .500 season. Clemson, on the other hand, is still battling for a berth in the conference playoffs. The Tigers need both wins to keep from being eliminated. O'Dell To Pitch Almost certain to pitch one of the games for Clemson is left hander Billy O'Dell, the Clemson ace. O'Dell is special poison to the Gamecocks. In two games that he has faced them while pitching for Clemson he has struck out 37 men. In Orangeburg last year he fanned 21 in a night contest and won, 5-2. In an earlier season game this year he struck out 16 and -von, 13-4. The other pitcher could come from a group that includes another lefthander and several right handers. Bobby Saylors, who beat the Gamecocks in Clemson last year is the lefthander. Right hander Neil Bates is a likely choice too. Carolina will likely throw Otis Rawl in today's game with one of the Tunstall twins, Heyward or Howard, likely to pitch tomorrow. Other possible choices for Coach Ted Petoskey are Jim Godwin, Gene Molnar or Southpaw Billy Frierson. Heavy-hitting Infield Clemson will be led by one of the heaviest hitting infields in the conference. Third Baseman Wy man Morris is currently leading the Tiger squad and has been hovering around the .500 mark all season. Second Baseman Roy Coker is well over the .300 mark along with First Baseman George lrodie, who got his first start in the series with the Gamecocks when the regular first sacker pulled a leg muscle. Brodie went three for three in that game and has remained in the line-up since. Shortstop Dick Hussey is not a heavy hitter but can unload the long ball every now and then. Catcher Bobby Morris is a long ball hitter, as well as being over the .300 mark. The outfield has plenty of power too. Rightfielder Doug K ingsmore is one of the few veterans on the team and is notably a long ball hitter, although he stays over the .300 mark. He hit a home run in TR1A:IK RECORDS (:ot,miinued fromt page 5) in 22.3 andl the 440 against G;eor gia in 49.3. The Gainecock mile relay team has also won consistently this sea son and the best time has been 3 minutes 27 sec. Another Carolina relay team set a record of 3i min. 22.3 sec. in 1950. This relay was com posed of WVood lee, S pence, Ward, and McKenzie. TI'hese recorids are haridly comn parable at this pot in the t rack team's hid for glory, because most of the men hoping to threaten any ex5ist ing records are freshmen and have three more years in wvhich to show their ability. However, it is a fairly goodl bird's-eye view of a team of dleterm inedl men.

Rawl Leads Carolina is noticeably shy of any real power men, although several of the men have shown that they can hit the ball out of the park. Pitcher Otis Rawl is the leading hitter at the present time with an average of .379. He beat Clemson with a three-run homer in the ninth inning in the second game at Clemson. His blast came after Clemson had taken a one-run lead and was hit about 380 feet. Shortstop Tom Hofferth, the leading batter on last year's nine, has been in a slump.

Lewis Wins The following day Duke's Joe Lewis showed the stuff that has made him one of the conference's Lading pitchers for the-past two years. He allowed only five hits in pitching the Blue Devils to a 1-0 win. He didn't allow more than me hit in any single inning and walked only three men. Otis Rawl matched him almost pitch for pitch but first and fifth inning loubles cost him four runs and the ball game. hnston IAIN ST.
