Lubert ( By SAMMY FKETWELL SUM Writer For Dennis Lubert, this is the baseball season to do it all. The University of South Carolina senior left-hander moves, talks and acts with a confident aire about him. At the same time, though, there is not the slightest trace of cockiness. He is, to put it simply, a very good pitcher. He knows it, the major league scouts know it and _ everyone else knows it. His years as a ballplayer prove this. In high school he fashioned a 33-2 four-year record in Johnson City, N.Y., where during the course of several summers he also managed to win 27 consecutive games in the American Legion ranks. At USC, Lubert has continued this winning tradition, posting a combined mark of 22-5 and a 2.61 earned run average. His control has been good and his confidence has steadily grown. In no way, has he become complacent; but rather has developed more of a drive to do well. Although he feels that last season's 12-2 mark (with 10 complete games) was by far his best, he is not satisfied. "You always try to do a little better than the year before," Lubert said. "I'd like to get 13 wins and bring my ERA Hnwn a " Ono fnicnn ? w ?T?? M pvrillV. VUV i ^aovn for the higher ERA (3.52) he said was because he was used in tighter situations. ^^%(# * X1 4f> * Applications * E I 1 * * * * 1 ?3f * * * ^ are now availal $ All positions bi * until the end of * * jt * Deadline for af * you have any * Media Office at * * 'T* rT? riV rW r|W ?m? fT* tfTii rlW irN ^ Continues Ti \/ I L DdMhUkert ' ? "Last season I had to face . teams like Florida State and Clemson. If you make a ' mistake against a good team, they're going take advantage of it." Despite the fact that the soft-spoken left-hander has ^ had good records at P Carolina, he has not always had the security he now possesses. He said he knew tl his ability was there, but one b specific incident helped his a confidence a great deal. n "The Miami game (in c 1980, which USC won 8-1) b really helped my confidence. fj Coach Raines left me in b there, even though I had 0 trouble in the first inning. I h appreciated that." He added that he thoueht Raines had gained a lot of faith in him by si the end of the game. b The major leagues seemed p to like what they saw of p "Lube" in 1981, because he p was picked by the New York w Yankees in the fifth round of si the June draft. He was a impressed, but decided to s for. :DITOR-IN-CH of the Gamecock Newsp Garnet $ Black Y< Portfolio Magazii :>le in Room 3 13, R ?gin with Summer I the Spring '83 seme. )plications is March questions contact 777-3888.

Lubert said that aside om team goal ? "I think 'e'H do real good" ? his lain desire is to get drafted gain, "hopefully in the first r second round." As for the 1982 ramecocks, he feels that the jam will be quite talented ut young, so he does ecognize a sense of ressure on himself. 4<I think le fact that I'm a senior uts pressure on me because very body's looking up to ou. Encouraging young layers not to get down is nportant." He appreciates the fact tiat all of his success has een enhanced by playing at "name" school. "1 have ever regretted coming to larolina. The program has een great. I remember the rst day I went out I couldn't elieve it. Just to have been n this team has been an onor." Dennis Lubert's future )oks rosy.
