FOR BIG MEET State Track Teams to Compete in Open Invitation Collegi. r ates at Clinton Saturday LARGE SQUAD TO BE TAKEN McFadden's "Knights of Cinder Lanes" to End Up Season Tomorrow With a long. hard season behind them, McFadden's tracksters left this afternoon for Clinton where they will enter the state meet, which is the final competition of the season. Twenty four men were taken. The Gamecocks hope to place hign - in the meet. The showing against Furman was not at all disappointing. >The Birds are strongest in the field events. Magill is slated to have an easy time in the shot put. The Heath Heath Springs boy has not been beaten this year and his throw of 40 feet 11 inches is the best that has been o..cial ly registered by any state contender. Magill has thrown the shot further than forty-one feet on previous oc casions. "Slim" Carson is preparing to sling the discus over 125 feet and ought to win on it. Rembert has an excellent chance of at least placing in the high jump. Shand is improving lately too. Power Rog ers has stiff competition in the pole valt. Thomas in the quarter, and Boyce in the mile are sure placers. The two mile offers to be the sterling event of the whole meet. Cannon, stellar Cleni son runner, was last year's champion and is probably doped to win. But Keels turned in a 10:35 race against Furman and it looks as if the Purple and( Gold runner will have to (o some stepping to repeat. Carolina came across with four runs in the fifth to put the gaie oln ice, and addel another for luck in the seventh.
