HIedhowny, coach, Larry Corbet Freshman Basi Will Be Stronj Freshman baseball candidates will be reporting soon and Hey ward Tunstall, who will coach the Biddies, has indicated that he ex pects a fine turnout. Already a number of promising men have ex pressed a desire to try out for the freshman squad and coach Tunstall said that with all the interest shown thus far that he expects to field one of the strongest freshman baseball teams in many a year. Heading the list of young talent will be a crop of the state's best high school pitchers of last year. Jimmy Craig, rob,:st fireballer from Greenwood, is in camp and is already being counted on in the fu ture for varsity competition. Craig was a strike-out artist for Green wood high school and Greenwood Mills textile team where he aver aged approximately 15, strike-outs per game. He is a righthander, has speed to burn and a good curve ball. le has all the makings of a good pitcher as he stands 6 feet I inch and weighs 207 pounds. Another young hurler that many are tabbing for pitching success with the Gamecocks is crafty Jim Gay. Gay was quite a controversial figure with the home folks of Tay lors when he entered Carolina. His brother, Buck, had been Furman's leading pitcher for four years and had hopes of brother Jimmy fol lowing in his footsteps but yielded to his younger brother's wishes when he decided to become a G;amerooster. Jimmy wvas a hurler for Tay lors high school where he set quite a record for himself in prep SUNC Coach May Take Pro Job Rumors have been steadily fly ing around the University of North Carolina. The newest one has scared quite a few Carolina rooters. It has Basketball Coach Frank McGuire going back to New York as the coach of the professional New York Knicker bockers. At the present Coach McGuire is in the first year of a three-year Sntract, and it is doubtful that .., will break it. The fact that he has a talent-loaded squad this year which shows even more promise for next season is a domi nant factor in the belief that Coach McGuire will stay at UNC. As rumors go, the main line of thought is that1 McGuire is the logical choice for the New York post. A native born New Yorker, who played college and pro basket ball in that area and later coached there, McGuire naturally has a ,deep feeling about the big city. S erJoe L ap ch ick, former -fRnickerbocher coach was fired by owner Ned Irish, leading sports writers tabbed the North Carolina mentor as the man for the job. Although it is highly possible that McGuire may wind up in New York within a few years, it is believed he will at least stay at UNC until the end of this present three-year contract. Many Carolina rooters and officials are hoping the same thing. ROSENBLUTHI HITS 1,000 Lennie Rosenbluth, North Caro lina's great forward, scored his 1,000th point as a varsity player when the Tar Heels defeated Wake Forest. The junior sensation scored 33 points in the contest to raise his two season total to 1,028. a t s IMP Sar, Joe Dent, Robert Wall, atd Jim i, Oliver Wood, Gaston, Paul Timme aball Squad ~One circles. His senior year was his best when he averaged a blistering 1 strike-outs per game while pitching every game for his school. In one stretch of 40 innings pitched in a period of ten days, Gay struck out 100 men. After leaving high school, Jim carried his talents to Victor Mills textile team of the Greenville Textile league and was the team's leading pitcher with a five-and-one record until a techni cality ruled him ineligible. Gay is a very smart operator on the hill and has the game under complete control when he is pitching. He has good speed and a very tricky curve ball and change-of-pace pitch. Carroll Norrell is another good pitcher and hails froin Ninety Six of this state. He attended Ninety Six high school where he stood out as' a pitcher and also hurled for the Ninety Six textile team. Richie Hoffman is another outstanding pitching candidate and comes from Union City, New Jersey. Probably the most outstanding infielder wvill be the diminutive Cleon Reece, flashy second base man from Senior high school of Greenville. Reece was a very good glove man and was exceptional wvith the stick as he hit in the tor rid .500 circle. He wvas also one of the outstanding ballplayers in the Greenville Textile league. In all, things are certainly look ing up for our future Gamecock baseball teams and it cannot come too soon for this writer. UNIVERSITY OF S. C. 1956 Baseball Schedule March 20-evErskine at Columbia.
