The four budding Weismulle*rs swam, swam, dove, and swam un til their tongues were literally and figuratively hanging out. Nine events were scheduled on the card and each of the four contestants competed in all nine. The weary winner of first place was boxing champion Rex Williams, his nearly exhausted competition in second place, was David Rollins, who com plained later that the 220 yard free style swim had been dropped from the meetl Willis Beal took third place from Bud Johnson, who should have gotten a medal for en durance. Originally scheduled for a large group of contestants, the meet con sisted of a 25 yard breast, free style, and backstroke race, another set of breaststroke, backstroke, and free style for 50 yards, and another for 100 yards. Following this, a 220 yard free style race was sched uled, together with a diving con test and a 100 yard medley swim. When only four swimmers re ported to the timekeeper, Mr. J. A. Crawford, the University's phy sical education instructor, was forced to cut down on the events until only nine were left. Of these nine, Williams had the most en durance in 5, Rollins in 2, and Beal in 1. Seventeen persons, and one baby, cheered the survivors over the course. This total included the pool attendants, janitor, timekeep ers, and the judges. --U. U. c. Tennis Tourney Is Called Off Director of intramural athletics, J. A. Crawford announced this week that due to the limited number of available tennis courts, the annual intramural net tournament would not be played this' spring. Only four courts would be avail able this year not including the two vasay courts, and since there are about 500 persons in school who play tennis, the possibility of staging such a tourney would be very slim. -U. U. c. Netmen Enter State Tourney Next Saturday Two matches and the state tourna ment remain on the Carolina tennis team's schedule as the 1939 inter collegiate season draws to a close. The Birds play Davidson here to morrow, Clemson at Clemson Tues clay, and enter the state tournament at Clinton next Thursday as a finale to this year's schedule. Although the Gamecocks have lost only two matches in state competi tion, they are given only an outside chance to win the South Carolina championship which will be'decided in the state tournament at Presby terian College May, 11-13.

C., Saturday afternoon for the annual state track and field meet held each year at Preqbyterian College. Mlinus the ! ervices of their ace quarter-miler and state leading pole-%aulter, the Gamecocks will still be dangerous competition as long as Dick Little and Captain Larry Craig are on the field. Lit tle is still undefeated in the state in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, the broad jump, the high jump and the low hurdles. Craig is state shot put champion and the outstanding weight man in the Southern Con ference. Between these two track men, the Gamecocks can roll up a total of 35 points in first places. The most furiously contested event of Saturday's duel of cham pions promises to he the half-mile run featuring Shecut of South Carolina, Rawls of P. C., and Shaw of Clemson. Shecut defeated the red-headed Rawls on the Melton Field track recently, and the red head has defeated Shaw who in turn pulled in in front of She cut in the recent Carolina-Clemson meet. The state race will deter mine the real champion among these three and records are ex pected to fall by the wayside when the starting gun turns them loose. Carolina has an ace in the hole in the person of Maridn Davis, un predictable two-miler, who may win or may come in last-according to how he happens to feel when the race is run. Davis turned in the fast time of 10 minutes and fifty seconds in the rain against the Clemson two-miler and the Caro lina distance man has not been de feated in the state this year, ex cept by members of his own team. Once again the speedy Calhoun of Clemson and Red RaWls of P. C. will iiect for a e race.
