The Citadel has had one of its best seasons in years and was lead ing the Southern Conference at the beginning of the week. Petoskey said he would prob ably divide catching duties be tween his two big sophomores Buddy Frick and Dick Theusen. One will probably catch today's game and the other will go behind the plate tomorrow. The rest of the lineup will prob ably find Bob Cross (.303) on first Larry Jewell (.321) on second Carl Brazell (.254) on third, Frank Ellerbe (.246) at shortstop and Jim Jarrett (.339), Bill Wohrmarl (.194) and Bill Tarrer (.196) from left to right in the outfield.

Dick is being honored this week because of his outstanding javelin feat in the state meets at Clinton last Saturday. Dick hurled the spear 189 feet, 7 and 1% inches to better the 20-year-old javelin record by more than four feet. Dick has consistently broken records for the javelin during the regular track season and the state meet record was no exception. "Zeke" is a 20-year-old sopho more from Turtle Creek, Penn sylvania. He spreads 185 muscular pounds over a 5'8" frame and has the speed and stamina to make him a good all-round athlete. Earl Durham, G a rn e c o c k backfield coach, says that Dick is a very fine halfback and will see a lot of action in this spot next fall for the varsity football squad. Second place in the voting this week went to Conway Snipes of the freshman track team. - Snipes set a new freshman pole vault record in the fresh man state meet Saturday with a spring of 12 feet, seven inches. This topped the existing record of 12 feet by a mere seven inches, but in setting records inches are as good as miles. Honorable mention this week goes to Tommy Woodlee. Woodlee was high scorer in the state meet at Clinton with 1114 points. He won, as usual, the 100- and 220-yard dashes and was a vital cog in the winning mile relay team. The relay team, incidentally missed the record by only .5 of a second. knd Track eet Held e tournaments highlight this f and track.' oent is scheduled for May 12 be held at Chapel Hill, North ~a will be favored to win the Wonderful things hapi Th ieitbl hoeefrp h fragrane i amoable chiefrt fume from $3; de luxe toilei each 81.75 (all plus tax).

Although runs featured the contest, there were fielding gems at times with Oneal Pittman, shortstop, and Jack Mc Connel, second baseman, turning in sparkling plays afield. Jim Parke went the distance for the losing Kappa Sigma team and was hurt considerably by constant errors by his fielders. Although the losers of the game, they supplied the slugging as Bill Green, Paul Odell, and Bob Finley hit for the circuit. Don Smoak, Ray Willis, Dan Kiper, and Bill Green shared the hitting honors with two hits each. Lambda Chi Wins In League 1 action, the top game of the week was Lambda Chi's 2 to 0 win over previouisly undefeated Pi Kappa Phi. "Hunk" Miller, who just the week before defeated Hugh Bell, one of the top pitchers on the campus, was the victim of a mental lapse by his rightfielder when a routine fly ball was mis judged and then overthrown at third base resulting in both runs. Miller hurled one hit ball at the winning Lambda Chi team but big George Bomar, the "Eddie Lopat' of intramural softball, stymied the big bats of the Pi Kaps with a three-hit masterpiece. After the first inning, when both runs were scored, Miller very seldom allowed a man to reach base. On the other hand, Bomar had hustling Frank Lofton to thank for his win as the latter made two sparkling catches on third base, one in the fourth inning with bases loaded. This loss by Pi Kappa Phi threw the league in a four-way tie for first place and from the looks of things it will remain the same right down to the wire. The top men for' Phi Epsilon Pi n Torporek, Barry Klassman, Larry el. Phi Eps are the only remaining a1l. Their batting averages: Desky and Appel .417.

By SID BADGER Gamecock Sports Writer Intramural softball swung into the final games this week with Phi Epsilon Pi fraternity as the lone undefeated team in fraternity play. Last' Thursday, the Phi Eps tripped SAE in a thriller 5 to 4 as Sam Appel notched his fourth win on the hill against no defeats as he displayed tight, clutch pitch ing when the pressure was on. The game was not decided until the last frame. With Larry Koenig on second base, Phil Gar finkle stepped to the plate and promptly lined a base hit past second to drive in Koenig with the winning run. The winning run was scored after two men were out. Gary Banks was the victim of the Phi Eps uprising and was the losing pitcher. Sam Appel con tinued his mastery over League 2 opponents as he has allowed only four earned runs in four games. Mike Desky, Barry Klassman, Larry Koenig, and Sam Appel con tinue their terrific slugging as they banged out 12 hits between them in the game. These players are now hitting .436, .500, .550, and .417 respectively. Kappa Sigs Lose In another League 2 tilt, Phi Sigma Kappa broke into the win column as they outscored Kappa Sigma in a wild game which wasn't decided until the 10th in ning when the winners pushed across three big runs for an 18 to 15 win. Bob Blakely went all the way on the hill for the winners WINNING COMBINATION . . above are, from left to right, Julia Koenig, Mike Desky, and Sam Apr undefeated team in fraternity soft' .436, Klassmian .500, Koenig .550, has won four anid lost none.

Page #even feated Thrown One Hitter Pi Kappa Alpha bounced back into the win column as Hugh Bell also had a i re-hit masterpiece at the expense -1 Kappa Alpha. Bell had a no-hit game working for six and one-third innings and two strikes on Baxley when his dream was ruined. The KA third base man sent the next pitch to center field for a base hit. Bell ran his strikeout total to 41 in three games. His pitching in today's game was backed up by excellent slugging of Frank Destino, who had two tremendous homeruns, one with the bases loaded. In the process, he drove in six runs. Lamar Hunt also hit for the circuit with one man aboard. This loss was the first for Kappa Alpha and the first for pitcher Kay Lloyd. The win for the PiKas threw the league into a four-way tie as they are now tied with Pi Kappa Phi, Phi Kappa Sigma, and Kappa Alpha. Independent League In Independent League action, Preston again grabs the spotlight as they knocked off previously undefeated ASME 5 to 2 to ad vance into a two-way tie with Maxcy for the League lead. Again it was the masterful hurling of diminutive Parker Evatt that paved the way for the victorious "Prestonites" as he limited the losers to two base hits. His control was near perfect as he allowed only one base on balls while strik ing out six men. This was Evatt's third win against only one set back. Incidentally, I reported to you readers that Evatt formerly starred at Parker High School but after stern protests by the ac cused, he convinced me that Green ville High was his alma mater, not Parker. I hope this gory mistake will be completely overlooked. Preston presented a new hitting talent in the game with ASME in "rotund" Ed Owens, who blasted two timely base hits in three times at bat. According to Coach Evatt, Owens may be just what Preston needs for their stretch drive. Bob Cunningham also shared in the hitting by banging out two base hits. Maxcy Loses ASME handed Maxcy their first loss of the waning season as they won by the close score of 4 to 3. In the process they whipped one of the top pitchers of the intra mural softball leagues, Walter Ollic, who up until today had not been beaten. Incidentally, Ollic has informed this writer that he would not pitch any more this season due to a re-occurrence of an old injury to his shoulder. .O0WN SHRTS...
