BLUE RIDGE ISSUE VOL. XIII UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., APR. 22, 1920. No 22 DAVIDSON TAKES MEET BY SCRATCH Three Points Lead Gained in Last Event. A missed stride in passing the last hurdle lost A. D. Mann, captain of the Carolina track team; first place in the 220 hur dles, the last event of the Da vidson-Carolina meet on Caro lint field Tuesday afternoon and sent Brice of the Presbyte rians a winner of the event and Davidson a victor in the meet. The team score at the crack of the starting gun of the hurdles stood 45 to 45, and until the last hurdle "Little" Mann led the field with E. B. Smith seem ingly billed for third honors. A stumble and Brice forged ahead while Mann fell to sec ond place and Captain Murry nosed out Smith for third place, capturing the meet. The final score stod 51 to 48, Davidson taking six first places, all with one exception in run ning events, the 100 yard dash, the half mile run, and 220 yard (lash, the discus throw, the 440 -aid run, the mile run and the 220 yard hurdles. Carolina made a clean sweep of three events, the broad jump, the shotput and the pole vault, and also took first place in the broad jump. The individual stars for the Birds were Sea born, B. Smith, "Socrates" Er vin and A. D. Mann. The stel lar performer for the Tarheels and indisputably the best man on the field was Captain Murry of Davidson, winner of the 100 yard (lash in ten seconds flat and victor also in the 220 and 400 yard dashes. Lack of training told some what on the Gamecocks and Seaborn was also heavily hand icapped, returning to college only yesterday morning from a short period of illness. None of the men equalled their prac tice records, but their showing gives suilicient for a confident prediction that Coach Olson has the "makings" of a class A team. The Gamecocks go to Spartanburg to meet Wofford on May 1, clash with Clemson in Columbia May 8 and go to Atlanta for the annual South ern Intercollegiate Athletic as (CONTINITED) ON P'AGE 4.)

In a game featured by much hitting and many errors, Wof ford defeated Carolina Thurs day by the score of 12 to 11. There was a plenty of excite ment as Langston was crossing the plate with the tieing run when Turnipseed bobbled Chandler's roller and recover ed just in time to assist in the last out of the game. Wallace started on the mound for Carolina, but was wild and had to be removed in the third. Blount succeeded him and finished the game. He was hit rather freely but mis erable support made it difficult for him. Kearse was on the firing line for the visitors, but was driven to cover in the third, retiring in favor of Dun can. The latter got by until the eighth, when the Game cocks nipped him for a run and in the ninth staged a rally that came very near -changing the result. Four runs were pushed over and Langston was perch ed on third with one out. Mar tin went to the rescue at this stage struck out Kern and forced Chandler to roll to Tur nipseed for the third out. Seaborn was out of the game but Chandler received well and secured two hits, but his peg ging was oil' color. Porter's hitting furnished the real fea ture, the Marion lad tripling iul the ninth with the bases full a;dI doubled-twice with two on, !iichar(ds played a jam up game at first, while Si"zenor did some clever lielding.
