STATE INTERCOLLEGIATE
TRACK MEET SUCCESS
(Continued from page 1.)
, "guts," to use that incomparable
- campus word so appropriate on
- this occasion. Hampered by lack
of proper coaching, since Coach
Crawford's illness, and handicap
ped by the small number out for
track. due to the almost total
absence of interest in this form
of sport on the campus, our rep
resentatives in the meet made a
record that Carolina men may
truly boast of. Winning 5 first,
3 seconds. 5 thirds and 2 fourths,
for a total of 45 1-2 points, they
took second place in the meet,
and won the praise of everyone
present. Track heretofore has
occupied small space in College
life at Carolina, the teams that
have represented the University
in the past having been composed
wholly of those men wvho wvent
onj from the pure love of the
sport. and not because of any em
phasis or concerted effort on the
part of the student body as a
whole. However, we are confi
fidently looking forward to the
time in the near future when
track will be considered a major
sport alongside football, basket
ball and baseball; and we express
the hope that Carolinas campus
may annua-lly he the Mecca of
the track men of the State, and
that Saturday's meet is but the
first of the annual intercollegiate
track meets participated in by
every College and University in
South Carolina. There is no bet
ter way for football candidates
to take their spring training and
to keep in the pink of condition
than by donning a track uniform
in the Spring.
Our own Alex Waite, was the
individual star of the meet with
13 points. He won first place in
the shot-put, second in the dis
cus, and first in the javelin throw,
coming within a very few feet of
e(pualing the A. A. U. record in
the javelin throw set ip at the
Pennsylvania relay Carnival
last Saturday, by hurling the jav
elin 158.1 feet. We are expect
ing Alex to hang up an American
intercollegiate record in the jav
elin before lie leaves Carolina.
Burney Smith tied "Red" New
man of Clemson for secondl place
in individual p)oinlts, wvith 10 to his
credlit. Ile wvon first place in the
high jump, secondl in the broad
junmp, andl third in the 440 yardl
Haumptoni ran a close third for
individual honors with () points.
lie was fair ahead of the field in
. lhe 120 yard high hurdles, and
ran thle most beautiful race in
ithis event ever seen on Univer
sity' Field. In addition to taking
.first p)lace in the High hurdles,
"Hiamp"' was third in the 220 low
Shurdles and fourth in both the
shot put and javelin throw.
."Whiz" Stevens wvas an easy
- wvinner of the 100 yard dash, do
- ing the distance in 10 seconds
flat, wvhich wvas unusually fast
i time for a dirt track.
- Other Carolinia men taking part
r in the meet wvere Erwin, wvho
won~ seconid an(l third1 n1)ac ..
spectively in the high jump and
pole vault; Parsons, who took
third place in the half-mile and
Refo and Mann.
Wofford, with 18 points, came
third in the meet, Citadel fourth
with 12 and P. C. fifth with 3.
Saturday night in Flinn Hall
the track athletes were the guests
at a sumptuous banquet, served
by Carolina's fairest Co-eds.
"Nuff sed." They enjoyed this
wind up affair, rendered a la Car
olina style immensely, and were
unstinted in their praise of the
hospitality shown them. Prof.
J. O. Van Meter was toastmaster,
and brief talks were made by
'Dean Baker, Coach Smathers,
Captain Gilmer of Clemson, Mr.
Irvine F. Belser, an alumnus of
Carolina, Yale and Oxford, who
spoke interestingly of the system
of athletics in the English Uni
versities as contrasted to our
American system. The Haber
nicht-McDougall trophy cup of
fered to the winner of the meet,
was presented to the Clemson
team by "Greece" Graydon,
prominent Columbia attorney,
and an ex-football star at the
University. After a series of
cheers for the winners, the cur
tain rang down on the first inter
collegiate track meet ever held
in South Carolina-a very suc
cessful affair.
Touchdown for Coach
From an interesting letter
from Coach Metzger to the Edi
tor a few (lays ago enclosing an
article for The Gamecock, the
following extract is taken:
"Ilow goes everything? I have
never been so full of work before
in my life. In the midst of it
there was horn -a son on April
29th, Robert Andrews Metzger.
Mot her and boy are fine. Give
my very best regards to all the
fellows and tell the football men
to write mne. With kind personal
regards. I am, Sincerely yours,
Sol Metzger.
Fifteen for Coach Metzger, fel
lows. Loud and strong, too! Watch
out for that Carolina quarterback
for 1940. Coach's article will ap
pear in next week's Gamecock
look out for it-its great.
