Fo the club as a whole, it meant th first victory in their first fou contests; for Coach Joe Grugan it meant his first in the past 24 games. John Coleman, former Drehe: and Clemson hurler, got the start ing role on the mound. Allowinj the "Generals" only two hits th< entire afternoon, he struck ou eight and walked three. Laney Ruff started the Caro lina attack with a single on Phi Sharp's first pitch. Hoak Greine: hit into a double play, and th< Gamecocks took the field. Bot] teams settled down to a game o: mostly defense, with the exceptioi of several jaunty rallies by th< "stick men." The Generals, scoring previ ously on an unearned run, sav their lead go up in smoke as th4 Gamecocks came to life in thi sixth inning. Bobby Robinson stealing second base, provoked i wild throw by the W & I catcher, Greiner scored f r o n third. Jack McCathern singled t left field and Robinson scored After Jim Lanford's hit, th< Gamecocks were retired with i 2-1 margin. The final score came in th, eighth when Robinson singled stole second, and then raced hom, on Charlie Williams' hit. Mc Cathern repeated with a tap t, center field but was thrown ou on an attempted steal at second Trailing 3-1, the Generals trie a desperation effort for a come back, but Coleman's pitching an the Gamecock defense muzzle their intentions. Standing 1-3 now, the Game cocks start their conference sea son today against Maryland an Monday against Duke. B o t games will be played at the Re: Enright Center.

Witness these bits of Caroliniana from the sports pages of the "Gamecock" of 20 and 10 years ago. Twventy years ago at Carolina, in the "Gamecock" of April Fool's Day, 1942, the big news was the State Track Meet that afternoon in Clinton. The Gamecock cinder men were favored in view of their 71-60 dual-meet smashing of a strong Clemson squad. Dr. J. T. Penney, nowv President of the Atlantic Coast Conference, was then in his first year of coaching the tracksters, and had as his scoring stalwarts Mac Riley in the dashes and Joe Krivo nak, weight man, both state rec ord holders.

The Citadel was favored lop to take the title for the fourth the straight year, but the Gamecock rar. foursome was trying for an upset. ing Furman took the measure of the rin- USC Tennis team, outpointing the >ut- Gamecocks, 6-2. Only Jack Hatch eek and Gene H-aynes could hit the r a victory column for the Birds. Only 10 years ago, the sport ln't situation was rather unsettled. A sm- track team was heing fielded for per, the first time since 1950, when a Iinm virtual "pick-up" USC squad won ree the state title. .With only one experienced man 1s- returning, the trackmen were not . *t expected to be especially strong ing as they readied for their first run meet in over two years against gs the arch-rival Tigers from Clem lah son. " Pi Kappa Phi was the power in Intramurals that year, winning the basketball title over the In dependent Rinky Dinks, 47-39. The Pi Kaps also led in points toward the All-Sports trophy. The baseball team was readying itself for a two-game invasion from the hills of Clemson, and was hoping its hitting would im prove enough to support the fine pitching the Birds have been getting. During that week, only ten years ago, the Tennis team had three matches scheduled, three members of the USC boxing team were going to the NCAA tourna ment and a former Carolina tackle had signed with the Los Angeles Rams of the NFL. That's the way things stood here ten and twenty years ago. Not much difference, eh? Look in next week's "Gamecock" to find out whether the track team won the state title in '42, and beat Clemson in '52, or whether Havi lah Babcock's golfers won the state championship twenty years
