Giese Pleased At Freshman Footballers A great deal of film study, dis cussion and analysis has taken place in the Gamecock football coaching offices since the end of spring practices back on March 29. One of the important phases of analysis by head cqach Warren Giese and his staff has been the evaluation of the products of last fall's freshman squad. After seeing those freshmen mix it up with their varsity brethren in the off-season drills, 'Giese was very much encouraged over the number of them that appear ca pable of eventually playing first line football for the Gamecocks. "'It would be' unusual for a freshman to break into the first or second teams in spring prac tice," Giese points out, "but we have what we consider a satis factory number of boys from our 1957 freshman squad who have shown us that they have what it takes." Giese was asked, "If you were forced to name the most encourag ing freshman in spring practice, who would it be?" Fewell Impresses He answered, "I would not have to be forced to do it, in fact I'd be only too happy to say right now that Sammy Fewell had progressed the furthest." He added that this doesn't necessarily mean that some other freshman couldn't catch up with him, or even pass him. Fewell is a 230-pound boy who played his high school football at Winthrop Training School in Rock Hill. The Gamecock coach said that he'd rather not try naming all the boys from the '57 frosh dis playing better-than-average po tential, but he listed several of the more impressive ones. 0 At end he pointed out Conley Taylor, a 197-pounder from Rich mond, Va. A guard standout was Wayne Shiflet, who weighs 205 pounds and comes from Dewey Rose, Ga., near Elberton. John Gordon, an Air Force vet eran from Huntingdon, Pa., was impressive among the freshman centers. He weighs 215 pounds and stands 6-3. Harvey Shiflet, a surprising 175-pounder from Norfolk, Va., was one of the pleasing products at quarterback, especially on de fense. At halfbacks, Giese mentioned Melvin Harris, 180 pounds, from Clendinin, W. Va., and Jimmy Hunter, a speedster from North Charleston. Elberton's Bob Farmer showed plenty of promise at fullback. In all there were 18 members of the '57 squad able to break into the official "vajsity roster" by the end of the spring practices. Manager Fred Haney of the Braves claims that Third Baseman Eddie Mathews became a good fielder as a result of trying to im prove his batting average. The Sporting News recalls that a year ago at training camp, Haney pointed out to Mathews that the year before he had hit only .230 up to the All-Star Game and about .350 after that. The manager sug gested that Mathews was not in the best of condition in the early part of the season. Trackm< State Meet Is Today Ahid Saturdiy By JERY ICKEY Assistant Sports Editor Carolina's cindermen rallied af ter a slow start to down an arch. rival Clemson track team Satur day at Clemson by a score of 69 62. Coach Weems Baskin's charges took 11 out of 15 first places in the meet. This win will probably insure the Gamecocks a top seeding in the coming State Collegiate Track Meet to be held in Clinton t6day and Saturday. Last year Carolina beat- Clemson in a dual meet in Columbia but placed second to the Tigers in the-state meet. SC Tough On Tig6 Carolina's sports teams have proven "tough" in their rivalry with' Clemson College during the '58 season. The Gamecocks have beaten the Tigers in four out of five events between the two schools thus far, topping them twice in babketball, once in swimming, and once in track, while losing the only baseball game between the two schools thus far. Top Performers Several outstanding performers and close individual battles were featured in last Saturday's Game cock-Tiger meet. Carolina's Don Goodroe, sopho more hurdler from Columbus, Georgia, edged out Clemson's Wil bur Simmons in both the high and low hurdles, tying with Carolina's Billy Lathan for the meet's high scorer with 10 points. Lathan, who holds the state all-competition record in both the mile and the two-mile run, copped top honors in both these events. Carolina's Conway Snipes and Jim Macedon furthered the Game cocks efforts by capturing first and second places in the pole vault event. The two tied at the mark of 12 feet. Dave Coates, holder of the ACC shot put record of 53 feet, 2 inches, found no serious competi tion in this event and took a first, throwing the put 49 feet 1% inches.

Buddy also advanced the Game iocks cause when he staved off a rush by Clemson anchor man John Dunkelburg to win the mile relay in the time of 3 minutes, 22.7 see Dnds. Carolina's Conway Snipes and Jimmy Cathcart tallied up more points for the Gamecocks when they took both first and second places in the broad jump, with Snipes leaping 21 feet. Another 1-2 punch for the Gamecocks was in the form of Heyward King and King Dixon who took both first and second places in the 100-yard lash. Carolina's other first place was copped by Bury Hudson, hurl ing the discus 127 feet, 8 inches.

Shore, Rosefield Lead Batting For Bas'eballers ' Bunky Shore, who came to Car olina as a fine halfback prospect for the football team, has blos somed into one of the top infield ers in Atlantic Coast Conference baseball. Shore's football career here was punctuated by a broken leg, and although he saw some varsity ac tion, the Winston-Salem, N. C., senior was sidelined a greater part of his grid career. He has found outstanding suc cess in baseball this season, how ever, rating as one of-the league leaders in batting with a .852 av erage after 17 games. Shore hit safely 19 times in his first .54 times up, batting in seven runs in the process. Playing the hazardous shortstop position in the infield, Shore com mitted only five errors during the Gamecocks' first 17 games. With only six games remaining on the schedule Shore was a good bet to claim the team batting title, (Continued on page 7) FPS g WHEN EN RUN OUT p pARAPM~ BELOW) ~:SRIK C I G A R E T T E S 2 ~Stuck for dough?
