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.

most fabulous proteges, the Hudson

Donkey basketball is one of the
most appreciated attractions in the
tiiited States and draws fans by
the thousands. It is wilder than a
rodeo and funnier than a circus, so
make plans to be in Carolina field
house for the big show.
The greatest track star in the
history of the University, Nor
man "Scooter" Rucks, led Carolina
to the state championship. The
"Scooter" set new state records
in the 220-yard dash (21.5) and
the 440-yard dash (47.4), and then
went on to break the Southern
Conference record in the 440 twice,
his best time being 47.7.
