-IN THE BIRD CAGE Qg Tmen MeLae A sure sign that spring is upon us will be seen Tuesday when the Gamecock baseball club opens its 1958 season at Capital City Park against Yale at 2:30 p.m. All indications point out that Carolina fans will be in for some good baseball. Coach Joe Grugan lost only two lettermen from last year's charges and adequate replace ments have been found for these. The team has been hitting well in practice sessions and that, plus the return of seven lettermen on the mound corps, seems to point out nothing but a fine season. All home games except one will be played in Capital City Park. In that one game, Newberry will be played at Chapin. It is hoped that the Carolina student body will give their full support to the baseball team. Also, since there is no longer professional baseball in the city, the Gamecocks will afford most people their only chance to see a top-flight base ball club in action. In last Saturday's full-scale scrimmage Carolina's first team in football lined up with Jimmy Duncan of Charlotte, N. C. and Jerry Frye of Columbia at ends; Don Rogers of South Orange, N. J., and Ed Pitts of Clinton at tackles; Corky Gaines of Fayetteville, N. C., and Jimmy Merck of Liberty at guards; Lawton Rogers of Conway at center; Bobby Bunch of Summerville at quarterback; Alex Hawkins of South Charleston, W. Va., and King Dixon of Laurens at halfbacks; and John Saunders of Churchland, Va. at full back. Frye, only a sophomore, has been the surprise of spring practice so far. He is a protege of Dentsville High -Coach Harry Parone, one of the best in the business. Another outstanding performer in drills has been half back Joe Gomes. The speedy junior has gotten off several long runs. Gomes carries his 200-lb. frame with the speed of a track sprinter. Other good performances include those turned in by half back Steve Kopian, guard John Bodkin, and quarterback Buddy Bennett. Next Saturday night's "Old-Timers" game will conclude spring practice drills. The Hornet, student publication at Furman Univer sity, announced its 1958 all-state basketball team this week. Included on the first team was Carolina's fine guard Ray "Cookie" Pericola. Pericola garnered six votes to place fourth in the balloting. Leading vote-getter was forward Vince Yockel of . Clemson, with eleven. The Citadel's Art Musselman was close behind with 10 votes. Byron Pinson of Fur man, who was named South Carolina's player of- the year by state sports writers, was the third leading vote-getter with seven. Then came Pericola and Mar shall Perkins of Wofford, who got five votes. Perkins formerly played for Carolina. Others mentioned included Dick Hoffman and Dickie Prater, both of Carolina. This year's spring football practice game promises to be one of the most interesting in history. Among others, a complete backfield from the powerful 1953 team that com piled a 7-3 record has accepted invitations to play. They are quarterback Johnny Gramling, halfbacks Gene Wilson .andl Blackie Kincaid, and fullback Bill Wohrman. . ..

Frank Johnson, Gamecock basketball coach, gathered three votes in the balloting for South Carolina's "Coach of the Year" honors. George Pickett of Newberry led the voting, con dluctedl by the S. C.

Many Ex Oldtimer At least eight former team captains will be participating in the University of South Carolina's Varsity vs. "Old-Timers" football game here on the night of March 29. The list of former Gamecock stars will team up in what promises to be a colorful ending to spring practice sessions for their opposition, Coach Warren Giese's 1958 varsity candidates. Ex-captains accedpting Invita tions to play for the "Old-Timers" include end John LaTorre (1952) of Charleston, halfback Gene Wil son (1953) of Fayetteville, N. C., fullback Bill Wohrman (1954) of Bloomingdale, N. J., end Buddy Frick (1956) of North and the 1957 co-captains, guard Nelson Weston and end Julius Derrick, both of Columbia. The, two other former captains participating wvill perform coach ing duties. They are Earl Dun ham, the "01(-Timers" head coach who cap)tainedi the 1946 team from his halfback p)osition, and assis tant coach Lou Sossamon, who was cap)tain and second team All America center choice on the 1942 eleven.

Gamecocks one of the finest traclk set-ups in the country. There 1s ample room for field, events in the infield, and bleachers, capable of accommodating at least 1,500 spectators, are being erected at an excellent vantage point. The Gamecocks opened their'58 track season yesterday when they .met Presbyterian College. (Re suits of the meet were not avail able at press time.) However, at least seven school records were expected to be in serious jeopardy of being broken in this meet. Coach Weems Baskin believes this will be one of the most in teresting Gamecock track teams to watch in recent years. Despite the fact that the team lacks depth in most events, they field at least one good man in each event. Record Holders Three performers who hold school records will be among the threats for further improvement on the various marks. They are Dave Coates in the shot put, Don Goodroe in the high and low hur (ies, and Conway Snipes in the pole vault. Dave Coates, the sophomore shot put standout from Culpeper, Va., established a new sehool record of 54 feet, 2% inches at the ACC Indoor track meet held at Raleigh earlier in the season. Coach Baskin has predicted that he may develop into a threat for the school discus record of 150 feet, 1% inches, set by USC's Joe Silas in 1956.

Conway Snipes tied his pole vault record of 13 feet, also at the ACC Indoor meet, and appears to be a threat to raise the standird sometime this season. Snipes also shares the school broad jump record of 22 feet, 2 % inches with' Gene , Berry, former USC track star. Columbia junior Billy Lathem, Carolina's fine distance runner who won the ACC cross-country title last fall, should be a good bet to snap the two-mile record of 9.54.3, set by Garn McBride in 1954. Newcomers Promising newcomers to the team include sophomores Jimmy Cathcart and Walt Hudson in the dashes, and Bury Hudson in the hurdles. Winfrey Gore who runs the 880 and the mile, has indicated that he'll definitely jeopardize the school mile record of 4:24.4 also set by McBride. Coach Baskin is still looking for someone to take the place of "Zeke" Bartulski, the ACC javelin champ who was graduated last spring. His record of 217 feet, 8 inches still stands. Returnees from last year's team include state quarter-mile champ Buddy Mayfield and sprinter King Dixon, both occupied with foot ball practice at present, dashman Heyward King and Jim Macedon in the pole, vault and high jump. Field events for the meet begin at 2:00, with the running events %llowing at 2:30.
