For Hi School Meet
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS MADE
Along with the extensive prepara
tions being made by the University for
the State High School track meet to
be held here in April many other im
provenents are to be seen in athletic
facilities on the campus. Baseball,
Track, Tennis, Gym and Boxing are
all being boosted by the changes.
Track, in expectation of Carolina's
several hundred guests this spring, is
being given especial attention. The
racing course on Davis has been cin
dered and gotten into excellent shape.
The pit for junpir.g and vaulting events
has been dug and filled with sawdust.
The Gamecock track men began prac
ticing in this new pit last Wednesday.
A field with accessories for the co
ed track team is a new thing on the
campus. There will be built a straight
course and jumping pit in front of the
infirmary. This was necessary since
three track teams are already work
ing on Davis Field.
In getting ready for the baseball
season, Marshal Cantey has moved the
football stands around and laid off
the field as it tvas last year. Carolina's
12 tennis courts have been swept and
otherwise prepared for spring playing.
With constant use they should soon
become as good as any in the state,
it is believed.
Within the gymnasium, an eight
foot boxing ring has been put up. It
is a regulation one and Allison's pu
pils can now slug without having to
fall over benches. Mr. VanMetre, phy
sical director, has also put up two
strange devices over the door of the
gym which, he says, are to hold up
the flying rings. The rings last year
were suspended from the ceiling.
