Spring Sports The spring sports program here at Carolina is off to a flying start this season. Our baseballers, trackmen, links men and racquetmen have all registered wins so far. Prob ably the outstanding win thus far was our stunning upset win over the always powerful Michigan State baseball team last Saturday. - Baseball Team Contender? It looks as if Coach Petoskey may have come up with a winner this season if his pitching comes through. Jim Cooley has looked good so far and Murphey Lemmon shows signs of helping the situation. In one or two more seasons though,*the Gamecocks could be ACC contenders as some of the most out standing baseball talent in the state have enrolled here and are looking good with the freshman team. Golf, Tennis Good Coach Ernie Lawhorne's golf team and .Joe Grugan's ten nis team have registered impressive wins to (late. Our golfers nosed a strong Maryland team last. week and the "racquet men" notched two lopsided wins over state teams. Bartulski Hurt Weems Baskin's track squad got off to a good start with a decisive win over Presbyterian but since have suffered a terrific blow when Dick Bartulski, outstanding javelin thrower, broke his arm in the spring football game last Sat ur day. Overall though, it looks like a good spring for our beloved Birds. Each student can do his or her part by getting out and supporting our teams. Remember. the spirit and backing of the student body always has a bearing on the performance of our teams on the field. Choose Good Cheerleaders On April 9, you, the students of Carolina, will go to the polls to choose cheerleaders for next fall and spring. There has been much discussion as to the cheerleaders of the past and the way they should be chosen now. It is not for me to say how they should be picked but I for one am hoping that a way will be worked out so that the best students will repre sent our school as cheerleaders. This is a year-round job and in the past it seenis as if cheerleader interest would die as soon as football ended. Al though this is the top sport at any major school, we still need leaders for the athletic events that follow. It was very noticeable this past basketball season when we had to rely on men from our student body to act as cheerleaders, and not the students who were actually chosen for the job. I am not trying to condemn the regular cheerleaders for their negligence. It may have been th'at they had more im portant matters to attend to. If this be the case, I say pick cheerleaders who really have the time and would be in a posi tion to make it a year-round job. We were very fortunate to have some students who took the "bull by the horns," so to speak, and l)ulled the spirit out of the student body during basketball season. Tlhese men worked very hard and seemed to enjoy it. They l)ut ew'ry thing into it and it paid off. We need more like these and according to Jerry Beasley, who was head cheerleader this past year, it madle his job much easier. When you vote this spring, choose your cheerleaders car.e fully. Pick those qualified for the job and stay away from popularity cliques.
