He sailed across the 220 *e in 22.3. Drawdy took a first in the 100, a second in the 220 and third in the javelin throw. Freddie Roberts, another fresh man from Macon, Ga., showed climactic form as he took the 880 in 2:008. This was the seventh straight win in this event for Roberts. In the pole vault department, Ted Robinson of Columbia and Smokey Darouse of Baton Rouge, La., have placed first and second consistently and usually come out with first and second positions in this event. Together they have scored 46 points. DoubtfuIl Rtununers Distance runner Gan McBride has been sidelined with a pulled leg muscle and may not be ready for action today. Another distance man, Jack Blair, saw action Satur (lay for the first time since the Duke meet. McBride was the mile and half-mile state champ last year and Blair the two-mile king.

(Sporisphoto Sigma Chi Track TItl By JACK BASS Sports Reporter Sigma Chi defended its inter fraternity track title by nipping a surprising SAE team by a half point in a meet that was not decided until the last event. Ten fraternities were represented in the meet held by the intramural department on Davis Field May 1. Probably the outstanding mark set at the meet came in the high jump when Sigma Nu freshman Al Bollinger cleared an even six feet. This was only one-fourth of an inch below the winning jump at last year's state track meet held at Clinton. The Farr Mile Trophy went to another freshman, Bob Peterson, an independent who came through in 5:28.7. As an independent Peterson was not awarded points for first place. SAE gained four first places and winning Sigma Chi copped three firsts. No individual gained more than one first place.

Staff Reporter A Gamecock track team, recent victors of a crucial meet with arch-rival Clemson, has established an 8-1 record for the season, and thus produced the winningest sports team of the 1952-53 school year-. One of the main reasons for- this sudlden surge towvard( track glory is pointedl to the combined efforts of a number of talented freshmen. These freshmen, plus the depend able service of the veteran mem bers of the squad, have provided Carolina with a very successful season. Although the Gamecocks do hold a highly commendable 8-1 record this season, no state' records ap pear in immediate dlanger. Just how do this year-'s men compare with Carolina greats of the past? Tommy Woodlee, former USC dashmian, holds the 100-yard dash record of 9.7 se'onlds established in 1934. Bobby Drawdy, p)resent dashman, has won the 100 con sistently this season, but his best time is 9.9 seconds. Other r-ecords set by former Carolina stars are: "Scooter" Rucks, 220-yard dash, 21.6 sec onds set in 1948; Rucks also set the state record in the 440-yard dash in 48.5 seconds. This too was In 1948.
