i. 2 fishy SC Ulines The Gamecock track team continues to run into bad luck. The complete loss of two of the team's top pole vaulters and a football shoulder injury to Joe Defore, the top man in the shot put, hit the team before the conference indoor meet last week. This wasn't enough. The jinx continued during the meet itself with three more mishaps. - 1. Tommy Woodlee qualified for the finals of the 60-yard dash but pulled a leg muscle in the process and Coach Weems Baskin didn't run him in the finals. It also knocked Woodlee, holder of the state 100-yard dash record, out of a place on the mile relay team. But his performance in the 60-yard trials plv9sed Baskin, who said, "Woodlee looked real good." 2. Don Whetstone%, top hurdler for the Birds, would have qualified for the finals in his specialty except he also pulled a leg muscle. This cost more points. 3. Gene Brown, the only pole vaulter left on the team, sprained his ankle in a freak accident. Brown collided with a misplaced spectator while running down the runway for his jump. Coach Baskin was very unhappy to find out that Ted Robinson, whom he had considered as potentially the best pole vaulter in the conference, is through for good because of a back condition. It was the effect on Robinson himself that Baskin regretted more than anything else, although it is of course a real blow to the team. Carolina scored only 4%ti points in the indoor meet but Baskin announced he was "very pleased" with the way his boys looked. Distance man Garn McBryde finished second in the two mile run, Jack Martin placed in a four-way tie for third in the high jump, and the mile relay team of Sonny Wilcher, Freddy Roberts, Leon Cunningham, alid Billy Kincaid took fovrth. Kincaid substituted for Woodlee. "We'll do a pretty good job this year," Baskin says, "But we don't have the strength of the big time conference track schools such as Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and Duke -but we'll have a lot of fun with them." He thinks the team is still about a month away from its peak. The big concern now lies with the lack of depth in the field events. Baskin is especially looking for some help in the pole vault. He would like to find a candidate with some ex perience. He feels that a hard worker with just a little talent and experience could be developed into a varsity point-maker. Lack of facilities is going to cut down the intra iural soft ball program this year, resulting in a doubling of basketball. A second half round robin schedule has been set up to begin next week for the four intramural leagues, said student direc tor Artie Knight. Melton Field will be unavailable for softball because of the impending construction of the Student Union Building, and the remaining space on Davis Field will be crowded with the varsity track and baseball teams as well as the freshmen squads. Intramural Director Joe Grugan expects to have a modi fied softball program of some form, even if it's only single elimination. It may be necessary to use off-campus facilities. Grugan has announced that handball is being added to the intramural spring program to go along with track and swimming. This column feels that the intramural department is do$ig a good job of imp)rovising and that it plays a very im portant role to a large number of students. We hope that adequate playing facilities for intramurals will be provided *in time for next football season. WCAUGHT ON THE HOOK . .. Congratulations to Profes sor M. B. Seigler of the English Department. Dr. Seigler was winner of the Carolina Golfers Association tournament last Sunday at the Forest Lake course with a low gross of 73. There were 113 entries in the event. . . . Wouldn't it be great if college football teams could trade players like the major league baseball teams do. Maybe Carolina could swap a full back or two to Duke for quarterback Worth Lutz. Lutz is being tried at fullback in Duke's winter practice sessions. The still have Jerry Barger and freshman Sonny Jurgenson at ~arter. . . . The intramural department is making plans for something new in the basketball program. Director Joe Grugan plans to select all-star teams from each of the four leagues and have them engage in a post-playo'ff elimination in April. The final object is a game with the varsity for the winners. Frosh Baseballers Start Monday Freshman baseball practice will begin next Monday afternoon at four on Davis Field, Coach Ted Petoskey has announced. All candidates are requested to bring their gloves and shoes.

An eight-game schedule for the frosh has been ar ranged, beginning March 23 with the South Carolina Area Trade School. HIS LAST GAME ...
