At least, that has been the experience of those who came to Carolina. Notwithstanding a bellif by some that a high school star is usually a disappointment wvhen he enters college, University men have tended, by brilliant careers in var ious sport following a good high school record, to dispel the notion. Carolina boasts of, her stars who got their first taste of glorious vic tory at "High School \Veek" in Col umbia when she looks back upon the recordls of her Cohie Seaborn, Bill Poole, Harold DeL4orme, Tonm Brice, "Red" Adams and Irene Richardson. "Red" Adams of Pickens, is proba bly the brig'atest of the track lumina ries although he rose into p)rominence only last year. At that time he es tablished two state records, running the 440 in 53 2-5 seconds, and throw ing the discus 169 feet, 8 1-2 inches, He was also the highest individual point scorer of the meet. Since Red has been at Carolina he has made good in 'freshman felotita14, basebaill and tra.k. Harold DeLornme, now president of the student body, while wearing the colors of Sumter Hi in 1919 made a state record for the half mile run by doing it in 2 minutes, 11 3-5 seconds. In the same year he took first place POR OFALL SORT FRED MINSHALL, Editor )YS MAKING TB DA VIDSON WINS TRACK CONTEST BY TWO POINTS LAST EVENT DECIDES IT Exciting Contests Follow With Interesting Performances McConnell-Hinnant Tie Brice Makes Season Record. In accordance with expectations the Carolina-Davidson track meet last Sat urday was one of the closest matches that has ever been held on Davis field The Wildcat won 57 to 55 by captur ing second place in the javelin throw on the last try. Before this last event, the Gamecocks led 55 to 49 and were still ahead by one point when David son added five points with a first place over Siedmann. But then Cap tain Gracey, of the North Carolinians, threw the javelin beyond 155 feet to beat Si and annex three more points and the meet. The meet was filled with interest ing features. Hinnant and McConnell ran the mile in a dead heat. - Goody koontz, for the visitors, made the 440 in 52 1-5 seconds. Brice hurled the discus 120 feet a mark that betters the record of any other Palmetto track man this season. Rowe finished the two mile run with a remarkable spurt that brought the stands to their feet. Carolinas captain, Dave Gaston, was the leading scorer. The records were: 100 yard dash--Goodykoontz (Dad idson), first; Brand (Davidson), sec ond, Time, 10 2-5 seconds. 880 yard run-McConnell (Davidson), first; DeLorme (Carolina), second.

Harold continu edl his track wvork when he came to the University and now is one of the mainstays of the Garnet and Black team. Colic Seaborn of Pickens, in his pre Gamecock (lays of 1915 ran the 100 yard dash in 10 2-5 seconds, and al though his mark has later been tied by five men it has never been passed by a high school man. He was the in dividual star of his dlay. Seaborn threw the junior discus 153 feet, four inches which was three feet four inches b)etter than the record at that time of 150 feet even made by 1L. Whitney of Worchester Academy at Travers Is.. land, N. Y., in 1911. Seaborn later en teredl Carolina and shone as a three sport star. Bill Poole is knowvn to everyone in Carolina now as the man who started gym teams here four years ago and brought the indoor sport up to its present standing. As a high school track star he first peeped over the horizon in 1918 and then shone bright ly for three seasons. 1920 was his best year when he won the individual scor ing cup by making 17 points alone. Bill, as a Gamecock trackster, parti cipated in the broad jump, pole vault and dlashes. A few days ago in the Carolina Davidson meet, Thomas Brice of Ches ter, tossed the mansized discus 120 (Continued to Pagre Six) TS - S LIP UPSTATE Dj[AMON[ U S T I N G WHILE THE VARSITY baseball team is away meandering among the hills and vales of the upstate and penetrating it even to the wilds pf the Agricultural college, Davis Field is never inactive. For the first part of the week the Columbia Comers were cavorting upon it dai ly, then the high school boys visit ed us and tomorrow the freshmen will take on Clover Hi for a game of baseball. HIGH SCHOOL WEEK is with us again. The schools sent some mighty fine representatives down this year who should establish rec ords for them to be proud of. Pro bably by the time THE GAME COCK is printed several records will have been shattered and the fellows will be leaving us for their homes. We want them to rest as sured that Carolina is always glad to have them and welcome them any time they want to come. Two records were broken in the pre liminaries yesterday which stand good today; McGill of Heath Springs went throught the shot put record like a through express, and Justus piled more fame up for Pickens Hi by breaking the discus record. THE CAROLINA BOXERS will make their debut Tuesday night in the gym. Being scheduleless they have not had a chance to appear be fore. The management promises some good scraps. Come out and see them. IT IS GETTING to be quite a prob lem for Carolina boys to get into the Columbia League games with the cordon of cops kept posted about. Last Tuesday a party of engineering students were seen busily measuring with their in struments across Green street and through the fence into the ball grounds, industriously jotting in their notebooks the while. As they passed one of the large gentlemen in blue, he sympathetically remark ed the the professors should not make the boys work so hard. COACH COTHRAN has been work ing his tracksters hard andl has wrought some fine improvements in them. The progress was evi 'dent in the Davidson meet and if they keep it up we have our own ideas about a few things in that State meet at Clinton. And coach says there wvill be some hard work (lone next wveek, Selah. -- U.s.C. - CAROLINA NETMEN WILL TRY FOR STATE TITLE Trhe Carolina tennis team leaves Tuesday for Spartanburg where it will enter the South Carolina Intercolle giate tennis tournament which will be held at Woffordl this year.
