season will be officially
ioned March 25, when Coach Joe

outed Yale team scheduled to be

sterest is being centered around
bis year's team as they attempt
to improve on its 9-9 record of
10t, year.
Coach Grugan has 'lined up
quite an attractive list of op
ponents, with 26 games scheduled
thus far including 15 ACC con
ference games. All home games
will be played at Capitol City
Park. Since Columbia has no pro
team at present, the USC base
ballers will attempt to "fill the
gap" this year, and are expecting
stpong support from Columbia
baseball fans, as well as the USC
students. Fifteen home games
have been scheduled with pros
pets for a couple of night games.
Losses Light
Losses by graduation were light
this year, with the varsity squad
losing only two lettermen-second
baseman Larry Jewell, second
team all-conference for two years,
and Paul Rawl, who'entered pro
fessional baseball last summer,
signing a contract with the Kan
sas City Athletics. Coach Grugan
reports that he has 32 out for
varsity ball, working every day
from 2:00 'til 5:00.

Dodger pitcher, will be working

USC Track T<
Against PC O1
Carolina's 1958 track season
gets under way Thursday when
the Gamecock cindermen enter
tain Presbyterian. Then on Mon
day, March 24, Duke will be in
town for a meet. It is expected
that the presence of Dave Sime
in the Duke meet will create con
siderable spectator interest. Sime
is probably the greatest college
sprinter today and one of the
best of all times.
New stands that will hold about
1,500 spectators are now being
built and are expected to be com
p)letedl by the opening meet. The
track has been laid out so that
every race will finish in the same
place. The finish line is located
in the front, middle of the stands
so spectators will be able to get
a good view of all races. Field
events' will also be easily seen.
Much p)reparation has been done
on the track and field in an effort
to have it ready in time for the
opener and it is quickly rounding
inlto one of the best in the coun
try. "We've (lone a lot of pack
ing on the track and it's in pretty
good shape now," Coach Bask in
saidl.
Carolina will also boast some
fine tracksters this season. Dave
Coates has already proven his
value in the shot put. Coates

New Record
Almost Set
By Pericola
Carolina guard Ray "Cookie"
Pericola missed setting a new
sophomore-junior school scoring
record by only six points this sea
son.
Pericola entered the ACC tour
nament last week needing onlg 16
points to tie the record and 17
points to break it. However, he
managed only an 11-point effort
against N. C. State in a losing
cause and the loss eliminated the
Gamecocks from further competi
tion.
The current record of 802 points
is held by Jim Slaughter.
Slaughter amassed his totals in
the 1948-49 and 1949-50 seasons.
Pericola scored 434 points last
year as a soph and 363 this sea
son for a combined total of 797.
His total last year was a new
sophomore record for USC.
Despite the fact- that Pericola
missed the record, he still man

parade. Pericola was also the

week because of an injury.

non-student charge will be 50

children. Parking will be avail
