Bird Track,
Florida ReI
During the Easter holidays the i
Thirteenth Annual Florida Relays a
were held in Gainesville at Uni
versity of Florida's Graham Field. t
South Carolina's track team, fif
teen strong, gave a good account
of itself although the total points
they scored were small. The team
ran against some of the toughest
competition in the country in the j
Relays. There were six new rec- a
ords set during the course of the 1
day.
Dave Sime, the brilliant dash a
star of Duke University, was voted
the most outstanding athlete of the t
day and was awarded the Kearney
Raybun Cup. This cup, named i
after two Florida boys who were
killed during World War II, is kept t
for only one year and returned
each year for the new winner. Sime i
proved himself worthy of the f
award by being the only double
winner of the afternoon. He broke
the 100-yard dash 'record by run
ning a fast time of 9.5 and won
the broad jump with a leap of 23
feet, %s inch. These two events,
plus points for running good legs
on the relay teams, gave Sime a
total of 12% points.
Other individual Relay records
that were broken during the day
were as follows: Earl Poucher,
University of Florida, pole vaulted
14 feet, 6 inches; Joe May, Louis
iana State, threw the javelin 213
feet, 10% inches; and Jim Beatty,
University of North Carolina, ran
a 9:19.8 in the two-mile run. The
two-mile and mile relay records
were set by Maryland and Louis
iana State, respectively.
The most outstanding perform
ance of the day by the South Caro
lina team was turned in by the
distance medley relay team. The
i elay team, composed of Larry
Patrick, Jesse A r a n t, Chuck
Hughes, and Allen Inabinet, came
in fourth place behind the fine re
lay teams from Tennessee, N. C.
State, and North Carolina. Other
fine performances by the Game
cocks were Gene Berry's fifth place
in the broad jump, Joe Silas' fifth
place in the discus throw, Tom Col

The Gamecock baseball team
split four games on a road trip to
the Atlantic Coast Conference's
two northernmost schools during
spring vacation to remain in con
tention for ACC honors with a 3-2
con ference record.
The GAmnecocks split a double
header with Maryland Saturday,
March 31, at College Park and then
divided games with Virginia April
3 2 and 3.
At Maryland, a single game
scheduled Friday was postponed a
day because of cold weather which
turned colder by Saturday.
John Cooley, senior righthander
from Swansea, stopped the Terps
on four hits for his fourth straight
win in the opener, 6-1, as he re
mnained Coach Ted Petoskey's most
dependable pitcher. Cooley fanned
six and walked none.
Maryland came back to win by
an identical score in the second as
fastballer George Gaffney stopped
the Birds on five hits. Both games
#ene seven innings.
Right fielder Dave Ketchum
slapped three singles in as many at
bats in the opener and added a
fourth hit in the second game to
top the Gamecock hitting. Buddy
Nidiffer, currently the ACC's top
batter, collected three singles. The
speedy center fielder twice beat out
infield taps.
Doubles by Frank Ellerbe and
Larry Jewell were the only extra
base blows by Carolina.
Sophomore righthander Murphy
Lemmon started the second game
4gnd pitched four good innings be
fore running into control trouble in
t h e fifth. Petoskey expressed
satisfaction with Lemmon's show
ing in his first starting assign
ment.
At Virginia, the first game was
delayed 30 mInutes at the start by
a light rain. With outfielders
Nidiffer, Ketchum and Jim Jarrett
sparking the attack, the Game
cocks blasted out an 11-7 victory.
Southpaw Leon Norton, another
sophomore, settled down after a
shaky start, in which VIrginia
scored five runs the first three
innings, to go the distance for his
first victory.
Jarrett slugged a two-run homer
in the second and added a single.

Two Carolina boys, Dick Bar

The Carolina baseballers, fresh
from a double win over the Cita
del, will resume their struggle for
first place in the Atlantic Coast
Conference by engaging the power
ful Wake Forest club here this
afternoon at Veterans Hospital
field at 2:30 p. m. The Birds will
engage another toughie tomorrow
when North Carolina State invades
the Birds' roost at 2 p. m.
Wake Forest is the defending
NCAA champion and is expected
to come up with another power
house this season. State should
provide plenty of competition for
the Deacons though. The Demon
Deacons come to Columbia sporting
the recent Dixie Classic baseball
championship. N. C. State finished
third in the meet.
Coach Ted Petoskey has not in
dicated who he will start against
the power ladened Deacon squad.
Many will remember last year's
surprising win over the champions
and R. 0. Huggins' knuckleball
which had Wake Forest baffled.
Surprising enough this was one of
the few wins for the Birds all year
and also one of the few losses for
the North Carolinians.
Petoskey could go with Billy
Frierson, the Eddie Lopat of the
ACC. Frierson has a good knuckle
ball and throws a lot of soft stuff
which may he just wvhat would be
needed to quieten the bats of the
visitors. On the other hand, John
Hundreds of p)eop)le were ex

colorfully dressed individuals and
group)s, paraded across the Me
morial Hall stage on both eve
nings for a fast-moving variety
showv of fiddling, banjo picking,
ballad singing and square and
clog dancing.

Over Citadel -
John Cooley went the distance in
the 9-6 opener to take his fifth
wvin against one loss. Only two
Citadel runs were earned.
Bob Cross stammed a two-run
homer in the opener and Buddy
Nidiffer contributed a triple and
single and Frank Ellerbe two
singles.
Nidiffer also sprained an ankle
and was forced to miss the second
game along with Shore. Pitcher
Murphy Lemmon replaced Nidiffer.
Billy Frierson, a .stumpy left
hander from Summerton, fed the
Cadets a diet of knuckle balls and
they couldn't get it out of the dirt.
Gamecock infielders had 18 assista
in the seven-inning contest.
Following Stokes in the hitting
in the second game was Larry
.Jewvell with a single and double in
three at b)ats.
