Bits on Baseball
Carolina's baseball team has only five home games sched
uled after next week's games with Wake Forest Monday and
Tuesday. . . . A brilliant .964 fielding average and a 2.75
earned run average by the pitching staff have been the out
standing factors in the early season success of the diamond
team.... An "impossible" play by Frank Ellerbe in the ninth
inning against Duke Tuesday was followed by one of the
longest crowd ovations heard in a long time at a Carolina
baseball game ... Ellerbe gets this column's early nomination
for all-conference second baseman with his early all-round
play. His defensive work has been sparkling and he's leading
the hitting with a .385 batting average. His base-running
has been very good except for one time against Duke when
he was doubled off second on an ordinary fly ball. Frank
thought there were two out instead of one. His drag bunting
has been a work of art. . . . Al Spotts is the only infielder
who hasn't made an error. His defensive work has been out
standing and he has made several very difficult plays. . . .
Coach Ted Petoskey thinks that once Bill Wohrman gets a
couple of hits, he'll be hard to stop. Wohrman showed his
potential power when he blasted a pitch against Duke over
the left field fence into Devine Street, but it was a few feet
l'oul. .. . The Gamecocks have left 32 men on base in the first
four games and their opponents have stranded 34. . . . Pitcher
Howard Tunstall is being considered by Petoskey as a poten
tial rightfielder against southpaw pitching. Howard lined
a long single off the left field fence in his only time at bat this
season.... Several of Tom Hofferth's long outs to centerfield
would have hit on or over the fence if they had been pulled
more to left. . . . )uke outfielder Red Smith was reportedly
offered a $16,000 bonus when he finished high school. An
ankle injury last football season is giving him trouble with
his hitting.... Catcher Jiimmy Cox was the first Gamecock
to take advantage of the restored sacrifice fly rule. He
brought Mike Caskey home from third in the fifth inning of
the second Duke game with a long fly to centerfield. . . . The
team with the best won-lost percentage in conference games
will be declared ACC baseball champ this year. . . . The
Gamecocks play every other conference team twice.

Champion
By BOBBY ALFORD
The campus championship is at
stake tonight in the intramural
finals to be held in the field house.
At the *time of this writing it
was not known which two teams
would battle it out. There were
four teams still in the running,
all of whom played last night.
In the Wednesny night semi
finals Pi Kappa Phi dropped SAE
47-45. The game was close up to
the half. The Pi Kaps pulled away
in the third quarter and at one
time held a 14-point lead. That
didn't last long as Mooney Player
aid his' mates began to catch up.
The game went down to the wire
before Pi Kappa Phi dropped in
a couple of charity tosses to ice
the game. Doodle Munn played
a fine floor game and led the Pi
Kap's in scoring with 14 points.
1u3ter Brown and Eddie Jordan
added 13 and 12 respectively to
the li Kap's attack. Mooney
Pliyer had I(; to lead the hard
fighting SA E's.
McIlryde Nips Snowden
McBryde nipped Snowden in the
other semi-final played Wednesday
by the tune of 37-36. The game
was tied 34-34 with ninety seconds
to be played. Both teams were a
Ltle off in their shooting from
the floor but they exhibited fine,
tight defeises to cunipensate for
it. Siowden grabbed a quick but
Mel,ryde tied it up before the
quarter eided. Fron that point on
Mllryde was never behind al
though they were tied several
times toward the end of the game.
Vernon Taylor led all the scorers
with 16 points for Snowden, while
Ralph Hisher and "Leaky" rhornal
phlotel hangup gaimes and led Mc
Ilryde w% ih 1:1 and 12 points in that
order.
