Cinderir Uncertain Con Men Has Bask The Gamecock track team of cards by Coach Weems Basl 71orida Relays at Gainesville, The Birds opened their s 81-50 victory over Presbyterif Uncertain physical condit Coach Baskin indefinite early he would concentrate on in to A pulled muscle by Fredd, in responding to treatment wi problems. Baskin had originally planned to concentrate on the sprint medlay which consists of two 220's, a 440, and a half mile. Tommy Woodlee and Bobby Drawdy would have run the 220's, Sonny Wilcher the 440, and Roberts the half. There will also be a distance medley consisting of a 440, half, thile quarters, and mile-each leg of the race increasing by a quarter mile. Leon Cunningham, Roddy Robbins or Jack Blair, Allen Ina binet, and Garn McBride will prob ably run this event. The other relays are the two mile and mile. Billy Kincaid, Rob bins, and McBride will probably be three of the four runners in the two-mile. Roberts will be the fourth man if he Is ready. Other wise it may be Blair. Wilcher, Woodlee, Cunningham and possibly Drawdy are likely starters for the mile relay. Roberts would ordi narily run a leg on the mile relay instead of Drawdy and may start tomorrow. Others who are likely to partici pate are Gene Berry in the broad jump and javilan, Joe DeFore in the shot put, Joe Silas in the discus, Jim Summers in the high jump, and possibly Gene Brown in the pole vault. Brown has a bndeg which may keep him from competing. Baskin said that there would be about 20 to 25 teams entered in the Florida relays with North Carolina, Duke and Maryland other ACC teams entered, and several teams from the Southeastern and Big Ten conferences as well as a number of strong independents will also be present. Against Presbyterian in the opener, Carolina looked particu larly strong in the distance races and in the quarter mile. McBride, who was elected captain before the meet, took scoring honors with firsts in the mile and two-mile runs. Sonny Wilcher looked good in the 440 with a time of 51.7 on a slow track. Roberts, "jogged" in first in the half mile in 2:07. The surprise of the (lay came in the l00) and 220-yard (lashes when P. C. freshman Delane Johnson nosed out Tommy Woodlee in hoth events.

Before there can be champion ship playoffs there has to be play offs to see who makes the play offs. The regular season ended Wednesday night with only the two Independent leagues settled on both first and second place finishers. In Fraternity League Two SAE beat Sigma Chi 39-34 to finish the season unbeaten and throw Sigma Chi into a second place tie with Phi Kappa Sigma. Earlier Phi Kappa Sigma had dropped a stub born Kappa Sigma team 48-39 to finish in a tie for second. Big point man for SAE was Mooney Player with 13; Jimmy Cox led Sigma Chi with 14. Danny Camp bell dropped in 16 for the Phi Kap's and Bobby Alford netted 22 for the Kappa Sig's. Sigma Chi and Phi Kappa Sigma were to meet last night in a play-off for second place. Pi Kappa Phi defeated Sigma Phi Epsilon 42-35 to throw league one into a playoff for second place. Pi Kappa Phi was to meet Sigma Nu last night. DRESSED FOR THlE JOB .. . cocks.

Cox Plugge4 He Moved 1E By SPECIA Jimmy C'ox, rotund righthander from Camden, plugged a big hole in the Gamecock dlefense this year when he consentedl to dion the catcher's equipment. The tow-head, who has played second base during his entire col lege career, has so far taken to the position so well that he threatens to develop as the best throwing catcher the Gamecocks have had since Emmett Dietz. Cox had a brief fling behind the plate last year when Coach Ted Petoskey found himself short of receivers andi needed someone t fill in. Cox didn't frighten Yogi Hierra at the time but he did a capable job and caused Petoskey to wondier if he hadn't found a catch ing candiidate. It was a matter of deccidiing whether to leave Cox at his second base position where he was the key, man in a combination infield oridaR HEADED FOR HOME - . - Seco rounding third and headed for the I the fifth inning of the season's bas Lsketball I .ight with McBryde Drops Snowden McBryde upset previously un defeated Snowden 42-40 in a thriller. Dick Neyman scored 22 and Vernon Taylor 12 to lead Snowden. Harold McCauley had 13 and Buddy Cheek and Ralph Risher each had 12 for McBryde. In another close game, that had no bearing on the outcome of the race, Carovets edged Preston 2nd. West 40-38. Spec Hart had 20 and Ervin Bales 10 for the Carovets, while Scott Johnson had 10 to lead Preston. Other games over the past week went as follows: SPE upset Phi Sigma Kappa 40-38.

But needing the strong arm be hind the plate and some extra bat ting punch Petoskey moved Cox to the catching slot and so far it has paid off. Cox caught an Erskine runner at second Monday to cut off a Fleet rally that threatened to break up a close ball game. Cox is not a consistent hitter but dloes hit the long ball. He had two home runs last year and drove in ten runs to rank third in that de pa rtmen t. In add(ition he p)articipated in every double play that the Game cocks made. He was in on 12 double plays last year plus 12 in his first year on the team, giving him a hand in 24 of 26 double plays turned in in two years. He is not exceptronally fast but has stolen six bases in the past turn years. 1aysToj ad baseman Frank Ellerbe Is shown irst Gamecock run of the season in eball opener against Erskine.

The Gamecocks opened their season last Monday with a 3-2 win over Erskine and were scheduled to meet Wofford yesterday after being rained out Wednesday. Gene Molnar, who went the distance Monday without giving up an earned run, is expected to start one of the games against Duke. Either Howard or Heyward Tunstall will probably open in the other game if they're OK. Howard was hit on his pitching arm two weeks ago by a line drive and Heyward has been suffering from an infected toe. Sophomore Johnny Cooley is a third possibility to start one of the games. The rest of the line-up will probably find Jimmy Cox behind the plate, Al Spotts at first, Frank Ellerbe at second, Bill Wohrman at third, Tom Hofferth at short, Mike Caskey or Jim Jarrett in left, Carl Brazell in center, and Blackie Kincaid in right.
