Taking revenge for a loss the
(lay before, the Gamecock baseball
team bounced back Saturday after
noon to take a 13-4 victory over
the Clemson Tigers on Davis Field
in the season finale.
Otis Rawl allowed seven scat
tered hits and missed a shutout
in the ninth when Wyman Morris
scored on a single by Joe Pagliei.
It was his fourth win against five
losses this season.
9 With a rousing six-run rally in
the first inning, the Birds sent
Clemson starter Neil Bates to the
showers before he could retire a
single batter. Cox started things
with a single and was followed
by Frank Ellerbe's single. Jim
Jarrett loaded the bases when he
drew a base on balls and Cox
scored when Rawl reached first
via catcher's interference. Hof
ferth got on with an error and
another run scored. Jarrett and
Rawl scored on Al Spott's single.
Hofferth and Spotts both scored
when Howard Tunstall singled.
The Gamecocks added one run
in the second, two in the sixth and
four big ones in the seventh.
Spotts got three hits and five
runs batted in for the Gamnecocks.

[ 13-4 Win
hit shutout win pitched by the
Tiger's ace lefthander Billy O'Dell
the day before. Clemson won that
one 2-0 as a result of a two-bagger
by third-baseman Wyman Morris.
Carolina batsmen hit only two
balls out of the infield and only
five men got on base. Four were
thrown out by Tiger catcher Bobby
Morris.
Carolina's only threat came in
the sixth when the Birds had men
on first and second with no outs.
Catcher Morris stopped the rally
in its early stages, however, throw
ing out Bill Wohrman on second
base, after which no one could
reach first.
Coach Petoskey said Tuesday
that despite an 8-11 record for
the season, "We did well consider
ing the circumstances under which
we labored at the first of the sea
son." He was elated over Satur
day's victory which lowered' Clem
son's record to 10 wins and six
losses. "Rawl was just beginning
to come through after having suf
fered from a sore arm earlier. The
infield was beginning to look
sharper, too, although we still
needed more work."
Without the services of last
year's All-Southern catcher, Em
mett Dietz, a combination of arm
injuries, the team did ' little to
speak of in the first half of the
season, but seemingly "snappedi
out of it" as the season nearedl a
close. Last year the team had a
9- 8 mark.

Roberts Breaks Record
Freddie Roberts, a freshman C
from Macon, Ga., probably can be (
singled out as one of the most E
outstanding figures in the Game
cock win. Roberts smashed across
the 880 finish line in 1:57.5 to set
a new state record. The old rec
ord was made by the late Harry
Franklin of Clemson in 1942 at
1:58.2.
A surprising win by Carolina's
Joe Silas in the discus and first,
third, and fourth spots in the
pole vault event brightened up
things for the Gamecocks after
Wilcher had suffered an expected
defeat in the 220.
Wilcher Scores for Birds
Wilcher, with first place in the
440, second in the 220 and anchor- t
man on the winning mile relay v
team, was the high point-maker
for the Gamecocks. Wileher lost
his first state match in the 220
to Presbyterian's Tommy Jordan,
whom he had previously beaten,
but ran away with 440 honors.
Two of Carolina's most potent
weapons, although running with
injuries, grabbed second places in
their events. Garn McBride, run
ning in the two-mile event, took
second and Jack Blair, two-mile
specialist, gained a second in the
mile run.
Another record breaking at
tempt was made when Presby
terian's Bobby Vass jumped 23
feet 4 3/4 inches in the broad
jump. The record was cancelled,
however, when officials discovered
that the landing pit was lower
than the jumping mark.
E. M. Watt was the individual
star with 14 points, including a
first in the 120 high hurdles and
second in the 100-yard run.
