GRAYSON Now that he has the Cuba on the malnlnnd Jimmy Wilson hopes Lou Novikoff will get around to play Inn some basrlmll Novikoff has demonstrated that he ia something of a singer and actor but Wilson is more inter ested in his hitting and out fielding After taking his time about rowing to Catalina Island where the Chicago opened work Novi koff did no more than agree to terma on bis first visit lie asked for a couplo more days in Los Angeles Then after getting In an intra-club game be departed for the Hank Lelber Dizxy Dean mainland to of all at an all-star game Wllaon asked him to fly black to Avalon but he preferred to take the boat Ha missed It Another visit to the mainland waa necessary for Novikoff to keep a radio date with Bing Croaby for which he waa paid 8250 He stayed another day to address a Rotary luncheon But Wilson soon hopes to see whnt that 162 Coast League batting averago looks like in major league livery DIzsy Dean isn't what he waa but he hasn't changed

championship and another running of tbs Carolina Cup at Camden Tuesday April 1 opening baseball practice for the Columbia Reds Before we get into the future however glance back for a moment Into the Immediate past The University of South Carolina Gamecocks have completed their spring practice and put aside all thoughts of football for four and a half months The "football weekend" started at Barnwell Friday night when Speaker Sol Blatt Senator Edgar Brown and other Barn- well citizens had the Carolina coaches halt a dozen star players and a few others from Columbia down for an informal party In the Sweetwater Country club The finest barbecue banquet ever spread in South Carolina (and hear no debate on this) plus a friendly and hospitable atmosphere made the meeting the best of Its kind I have -ever attended Rea Enright ran off pictures of last year's Carolina-Clemson game and a reel of outstanding playa from other Including the famous fifth-down Dartmouth-Cornell contest It was easy to see at the Barnwell gathering that Carolina men are solidly behind their college now They show a real enthusiasm let Rex Enright and his staff know that they have their shoulders to the wheel Rex says meetings like this have been going on at many places in the state and that there will bo more as time goes by The Carolina Bam club appears to have become of age as its first year passes and Tatum Gressette takes the field for those 12 renewals Next on the "football weekend" program was the' football game at the Stadium Saturday afternoon It bring out much except a glimpse or two of the new Stanley Stasica in particular Score was 0-0 Many of the regulars were not in uniform These Intrasquad games never amount to much especially if the squad is evenly divided the hoys know what plays are coming aud can check them Nevertheless a good crowd of Bammers and students came out took into consideration the kind of practice it was aud left satisfied that the Gamecocks are to he a vastly Improved team In the fall of 19(1 Frequently I hear from the conservatives that "this will he our year- to heat Clemson" (A lot of people believe Furman win start beating Clemson again this fall too the Hurricane Is reported to be very powerful) A Bam club barbecue at the Elks club closed the spring football festivities Saturday night I couldn't make it Barnwell's barbecue was still with me 17

prior to last season is badly needed As for Lelber Augle Galan probably will start In center field anyway The large Mr Lelber Is quite outfielder and rwatter on occasion but Wilson likes players Jimmy Wilson Bill Lee with more hustle Bright spots in the Cub lineup to date have been First Baseman Ed Waitkua and Infielder Lou Btrlnger Waitkua only 21 who led the Texas League in singles doubles triples and total bases is giving Glen Russell the fight of his life for his Job Stringer now being used at third base will spur both Stan Hack and Billy Herman He really belongs at second bass
