proved to be the deciding factol
in the meet.

King, who took a first place po.
sition in diving in the Clemsor
meet, was unable to dive because
of sickness.
Derwin Lamb took first place ir
the 150 yard back stroke and was
also very impressive, in the 30C

the 200 yard breast stroke in one
of the most thrilling races of the
meet.
Marshall Upton and John Can

freestyle events. Bill Wright swam
in -the anchor slot in the 300 yard
medley and provided the neces

edge out Clemson's Martin. Bol
Kay placed third in the 150 yard
back stroke event, while Johnny
James and Quitman .Marshall tied
for third place in the 100 yard
freestyle.
Carolina swimmers ended thei
current season with the state
meet; however, the boys will prob
ably continue to work out on theii
relief measure 'for students ol
past years,' but from what I car
see it does practically nothing al
all.
