GAMECOCK CITY WINS AT TRACK Sumter Captures Annual High School Event. The annual South Carolina high school track meet~ at the University Friday proved to be' one of the best held here re cently.

Wil liam Thomas Poole of Green ville was a close second with 17 points, assisted by one of his team mates made a total of 18 for the Piedmont city, with the individual cup going to its chief performer. New State high school rec ords were set in the pole vault by Poole with ten feet nine inches, one inch better than the previous record, and DeLorme of Sumter bettered his own time of last year in the half mile run, making the distance in two minutes, 13 2-5 seconds. The result of the contest was never definitely decided until the last ten feet of the last race, the quarter mile. At the start of this event Sumter was ahead with 18 points. Easley 'second with 13 and Greenville third with 12. This left a pos sibility for either of the three teams to carry off the honors. Poole and Payne, both of Greenville, rounded the final curve neck and neck, the for mer gradually pulling ahead by a few yards. Payne made the fatal mistake of looking back and DeLorme of Sumter pale as a sheet, puffing like a locomotive and digging for all he was worth, gradually ground by and reached the fin ish line in second place by a scant foot, and saving the meet for his team. Had Payne held his position his team would have totaled 20 points to Sum ter's 19. Poole, the Greenville lad who carried off the individual cup with a total of 17 points, showed a remarkable stickabil ity and a wonderful amount of the "real stuff" in his craw. With another such running 'mate his team would have had an easy time. The events which he entered were among (CON'TINUED ON PAGE 4.)

(f 'ONTTNTTED ON PAnE r,.) OGLETHORPE WINS IN TENTH INNING Georgians Make Clean Sweep of Carolina Series. Carolina and Oglethorpe played a listless but exciting game Thursday afternoon, the visitors winning in the tenth by the score of 10 to 7. The Gamecocks played poor ly in the first and third innings, but tightened up and played good ball until the tenth. The Birds went to bat in the ninth two runs behind, but tied the score and had a chance to win, three men being left on bases in this frame. Pinch hitters in the ninth caused a shift in the lineup. The first two Ogle thorpe batters in the tenth ar rived on two close plays and the locals were unable to pull Dut of the hole. The two second basemen played fine ball, while Skinner came across with a home run to left field with one on, one of the hardest drives ever seen here. Wallace went the route for the Gamecocks and pitched a splendid game. The box score: AR H IIPOA Chandler, rf ....... 6 1 1 1 0 0 Carolina.
