Junior letterman Eddie Brown of Columbia will al so be expected to produce this spring. Adding depth to the seven-man squad will be Billy Stork from Co lumbia, and sophomore Henry Bevins of Pickens. Number one gun for the link men will be Clary, who is pres ently the Greenville Country Clut) champion and had the best qualify ing round to earn his high nosi tion. Coach Frank Johnson realized that "we should have a good clib this season but then again we have a little tougher schedule." Johnson believes that Wake For est is the team to beat in the con ference and recalled how tough Duke is every year. "But we play them both here this year and the ACC tournament is nt Forest Lake Country. Club where we play our home matches, so we should have a good chance to win every thing." Led by four seniors, this year's team should he an exciting one all spring long.

PITCHING DEPTH Looking at the lineup, Reisin; points out that the big probler will be lack of pitching depth. John Coleman, ace righthandei from Columbia, will see a gres deal of action during the next si weeks as will junior Rick Gric and senior Rick Johnson, both c whom saw only limited moun work last spring. Dick Moseley was last year top hitter with a .350 mark. The comes a sharp drop with Coh man's .292 and a .286 productio from Grich.

' (:rie-% Tomnnmy Munn, neiiber n of our improved tenni6 tea this year. n Tennis At lSC On The Upswing BY JOIIN LOTTICH 11 tt Sports Writer I- The 196.1 tennis season is upon us, and Coach Bill McClain's net a men have a busy first week. t We iInesday. they engaged Pres d hyterian at Clinton, took on Fur ir man Thursday, and tomorrow, they will meet the University of n Maryland Terps down on the Maxey Gregg Courts. :)f Coach McClain has this to say h about the Terrapins: "Maryland has a real good team. They'll he in the first division in the ACC." le To go against Maryland, the young coach has a line-up of Ray Hunter playing number one, Kay Howard number two, John Ileuer number three, Mike Strahley num b ber four, Tommy Mann number five, and Lamar Hamilton number six. Regarding his players, McClain comments, "They've improved a lot. Back before Christmas I told a friend of mine, Paul Caldwell, from Bristol, Tennessee, that I . had troubles. I told him that this team would lose to East Tennessee 9-0. Well, he came down here a fewv weeks ago and watched them play. HIe told me, 'You're crazy! These boys would heat East Ten nessee 9-0.", McClain paused( and theni adlded, "And they would too!" "The boys have really improved, mentally and p)hysically. But, of course, experience is the big thing." Out of the seven players on this year's squad,. five are sophomores. "I'll tell you one thing," con tinued (Coach McClain, "at the end of this season, we won't have a goose egg up there for points won in the A('C." The Coach then turned to the schedule. lie believes that his team has a chance of winning matches against Furman, N. C, _State, and Wake Forest. "I dlon't know a thing about l)uke," he says. "They're an unknown quan. tity." Concerning the C o 11i e g e of Charleston, which has a fine team he says, "By then, we might be im proved enough to giv'e them i good fight." According to McClain, Clemson North Carolina, and Presbyteriar rate as the three best in this area His G;amecock netmen play then all. Sophomore Kay Hloward wai singled out by his coach for specia praise. "lie hustles all the time listens to every word you say, ani is always trying to improve him self." Evidence of this is How ard's jump to the number tw< spot on the team, right behind Ra: Hunter. C'oach McClain then stopped t. reflect on the Gamecock prospect for the coming season. Experienc is the big factor against himi. "Yo can't take a kid," he remarkm les- "who comes to college and mak a tennis player out of him all c a sudden. These kids that we'll b playing against will have usuall been playing for a long time." eet, This year, our Gamecock netter will be blushing violets - learnin a lot and taking their knocks, bi along the way, don't be surprise ent, if they leave someone else to c the blushing. wing S1 Cindermen Aim High; Run Hard Coach Weems Baskin is prob ably asking himself if his talented 'rack squad will be ignited by that certain spark Which means the difference between just another season and a winning season. In selecting a team to play the lark horse role in the Maryland lorninated track phase of the At lantic Coast Conference, one might venture an educated guess that South Carolina might just be the team to capture the Terrapin cin der crown. This year Baskin and his as sistant, Benjy Seagle, h a v e the horses to make a few people around the conference just a bit uneasy. It is basically a young team, but the eagerness is there along with an ample supply of po tential. The sprinters will be led by Ful ton Dukes, who as a freshman sped to a 9.6 clocking in the 100 yard dash. Dukes has been nurs ing a bad knee but is expected to gain top form as the season pro gresses. John Hemmer and Dicky Melton are also counted on for Ala heavy action in the sprints. during MIKE McGUINNESS athleti Smooth striding sophomore Mike Mc(;uinness will compete for Caro lina honors in the 440. McGuinness who has exceptional speed for v quarter miler, flew to a 48.8 las [ year as a freshman. Last season's top varsity 44C man, Bland Addison, will also be back. Addison blazed to a 48.5 in 0 the '63 meet with North Carolina The 880 will feature perhaps the most talented and colorful runner in Baskin's stable, Australian Bob In ti Crombie. Only a sophomore. Crom- tle sF bie last year "loafed" to a 1:53. Gamec< Joining him in the 880 will be Ed- Ersk ward Kenyon, a convert from last he lea season's quarter mile corps. Ferry'* The man to watch in the dis- -leared tance events will be another Aus- field. tralian import, Allen Rose. Rose Carolir has been clocked around 4:12 in 2-0 be1 the mile and has shown mid-season Ersk fitness in workouts already. Rose the ei will have capable help in the dis- bangin tances in the persons of Ken cJic Smith and Jim Poulos. the n Bir'ds In t 1964 Track Ganiec Schedule ribht TRACK up tolt Ilead ('oach: Weems Haskin a sing Feb. 22 - ('lemson & North Caro- ning hina (Indoor), Chape! grun lill, N.
