Fishing Team To Spring Sp( By LOU YOUMANS Sports Writer Coach Isaac Walton of the Uni versity Athletic Staff today an nounced the formation of a Game cock angling team, to be based on the principles of competition embodied in his famous rulebook, "The Compleat Angler." In reply to charges that such mthods are far too outdated to give Carolina any adequate stra tegy to defeat its opponents in the hot field of intercollegiate fishing, Coach Isaac had this to say: "They may have changed the standards for footballs, but nobody's invented a more modern guppy." Practice sessions for the team will be held at Gibson's Pond, the coach informed this reporter. He vehemently denied that the locale might provide any distractions which would deter his fishermen from concentrating on the serious business of getting their hooks in shape for the rapidly-approaching season. For the matches will be held in the abundantly-stocked p o n d s which grace the patio between H and J buildings, and which, the Housing Office admitted upon questioning, were actually built expressly for use for this athletic purpose.

Full scholarships will be granted to all recruits possessing their own gear, and for every vic tory in dual or state meets, Rus sel House has graciously volun teered the services of its kitchen staff in cleaning the catch. Coach Isaac ticked off the list of events: the ten.pound-like gold fish, the twenty-pound-line catfish, the twelve-pound-line pike, tho six pound-line carp, and the two-ounce line coke-cup. Championships will also be held in such ticklish events as the Engineer's Special: any tropical fish over six feet in length caught on a T-square, with a line of rubber bands and a paper clip hook, baited with a page from a book of logarithms. Furthermore, any fish attracted by this mathe matical enticement will be granted a degree in either Mathematics or Mechanical Engineering, which ever he may choose. Coach Isaac warned, however, that no amateurs will be tolerated in Athletic Department waters. Any non-team-member caught fish ing in such areas will be referred to the University Coast Guard for disciplinary action. Also, anyone taken in the act of attempting to land the SPE turtle will be deprived of his worms.

Behind T1 In Carolin By DAN FOSTER Sports Columnist Our profound sympathy goes to halfback Alex Hawkins and his family upon the death of Alex's father, Mr. N. T. Hawkins. The elder Hawkins died suddenly Sat urday in South Charleston, W. Va. . . . Athletes recently elected to membership in Kappa Sigma Kap pa honorary leadership fraternity include shot-put star Dave Coates and cagers Bury Hudson and "Cookie" Pericola. Coates was also recently chosen vice-president of his fraternity, Sigma Nu. . . . The Gamecock diamond team has had quite a time of it. Num ber one candidate for the "hard luck title" is sophomore right hander Rodger Groves. He has a 2-3 record, but those three losses saw him pitch well enough to win. He lost a 3-1 game to Wake Forest, allowinglonly two earned runs, and he has dropped 1-0 decisions to both Virginia and Wake Forest, the latter in 10 innings. Groves has beaten Kentucky, 2-1, and N. C., 8-3. His earned run average is a respectable 2.14. . . . Three other pitchers have also turned in consistently good per formances. Sophomore Bud Swy gert has a 1-1 record and a 2.81 E.R.A. Sophomore Roger Brown is 2-3 and 3.05, and junior Mel Quick has a 2-1 record and 2.07 earned run rate. Quick's only lost was a 3-2 decision to Maryland, while Brown lost a one-run deci sion to N. C. State and a 4-1 game to North Carolina. . . . We hear a certain varsity basketball player shed quite a few tears during the recent town show ing of the film, "Imitation of Life." . . . Carolina's weak showing in freshman track competition last Friday was due to numerous fac tors. Among them was the scarcity of entries U.S.C. placed in each category; and the absence of broad jump stardout, Dan Upton. The young trackman pulled a muscle in his leg shortly before the meet began and was unable to partic ipate. . . . Freshmen who did take part Friday were: James Barrow, Jack - Beason, John Pfalzgraf, Bob i Fleming, Roger Lindsay, Dick Smith, Bill Tinder, Jack Morris, r and Howard Sohm. . . . Gamecock track Coach Weems Baskins said Saturday, "I had my heart set to accept it (Citadel's winning the meet), although we had not given up. We were riding three bad legs and a bad foot, and ,if any had fallen apart, it would I have meant victory for The Cita I del." Coach Baskins referred to the bad legs of hurdlers Don Good roe and Bury Hudson, sprinter Buddy Mayfield and distance standout Billy Latham. All four camne through to help the Game cocks to a state-meet victory. ...As 440 star Buddy Mayfield was running the last lap of the one-mile Walter Johnson relay, he looked back and sawv John Rivers Box from page 6) e and the coach. 1 slanted toward expressing the riected directly with athletics. for .iustified criticism of that ys of looking at every question. cidents where college athletics riore than a cover-up for profes aises on record where the hands Ltion have been tied because of trustees or an overly powerful iains that the aforementioned at Carolina even in the back as and policies are sometimes >litical groups.

We're going to stick our necks way out and do some cage specu lating. From the way it looks now with individual improvement, at titude, and past performances con sidered, Coach Walt Hambrick's starting five will be a touchy prob leni. There are a hundred and one factors that could pop up be fore December to change every thing, but, all things being equal, these five should hit the hardwoods in a starting capacity: Mike Cal lahan, Walt Hudson, Art Whisnant, Bob Frantz, and Bud Cronin. The rest of the varsity is sure to see plenty of action, including tall, 6-10 Larry Dial, and sophomore Bobby Robinson, who is not too tall but plenty fast; and also Bob Rebhan, 6-4 forward, should get ample experience next season. Rosefield Places Forth In A.C.C. Hitting Averages Wake Forest centerfielder Jay Franklin is moving toward an At lantic Coast Conference hitting record.
