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.

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

It was a matter of deccidiing
whether to leave Cox at his second

paid off. Cox caught an Erskine

Baseballers
Take on Duke
In Two Games
Carolina's baseballers will get
their first taste of Atlantic Coast
Conference competition next Mon
(lay afternoon when they tangle
with Duke's Blue Devils, champ
ions last year of the then 17-team
Southern Conference.
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.
Game time is 3:30 on Davis Field
for both games.
