Sports Editor USC took advantage of seven Erskine errors to score five unearned runs and hand the Flying Fleet a 6-2 setback at the Rex Enright Baseball Field yesterday. The Gamecocks scored five runs in the first three innings and were never in trouble as righthander Eddie Bolton scattered eight Erskine hits effectively to chalk up his fourth win in seven decisions. FLEET SCORES FIRST Erskine drew first blood in the top of the first with an unearned tally. Shortstop Gary Botsech reached on a throwing error by Butch Anderson, advanced to third on a single by Fred Coan and scored on a line drive hit by rightfielder Barry Snyder. USC fought back with two runs in the first and second and one in the third. Tony Livorness opened the first with a long double to the leftfield power alley. Livornese advanced on a passed ball and scored when Don Stanley reached on the first of the Erskine errors. Stanley advanced to second on a walk to Butch Anderson and moved to third on another passed ball. Buddy Caldwell hit into a fielders choice allowing Stanley to score. RACK TO BACK DOUBLES In the second Joe Land and Bolton crashed back to back doubles for a run. Bolton scored when Stanley's ground ball to the right side was booted by first baseman Bubba Ross. USC tacked on another run in the third on two singles, an error and a OVE'HAPPENS WHEN DU LEAST EXPECT ITI e/'Wilk EU ic Spring*l (in -- T-06N-1-T-E LOV 1 (OPLES' PLIJ your contact lenses as convenient as they were have to take care of ow you needed two or lutions to properly itain your contacts.

Minor si success a; Ry JEFF WALLACE \ND .IIN GASi 4ports Writers This is the first of a series o1 minor sports at Carolina. In the beginning there wa football and football alone. Nov that it has blossomed into the giar of collegiate sports, several o'he "lesser" sports are trying to folloN the long road to success. Here at Carolina these sports ar known as the minor sports: tenniE folf, track, baseball, and swirr ming. According to Athleti Director Paul Dietzel these ar ''the non-revenue producin sports." Since no admissioni charged and there is no other wa for them to bring in an income the must depend upon the profits of th football team for most financia purposes. Although all of the athleti department's funds do not corn from the foot ball team. 62 per cer1 of their revenue is from the gat receipts at the home footba) games.

USC has already seen V this growth in the addition of an all t weather track, new varsity tennis r courts, a baseball field and the new v spring sports center. "With the possible exception of Maryland in track." said Dietzel," we put more money in all sports than any other conference school." e In the past ten years the overall athletic expenditures at Carolina have increased 98 per cent. Only 51 per cent growth in football has come about while the five minor sports have had their allocations rasd373 per cent. As for adding more minor sports D)iet zel says he feels that we must have the best facilities before we thave the sport. He has proposed that wrestling and gymnastics be the next sports- added to the r D)epartment of Athletics. They will corne only after the completion of the indoor track, which is in the planning stage. T'he emphasis on each sport has varied according to the priority set by both the school and athletic department. Priority is not necessarily decided on popularity buIt also tinancial backing.
