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.
The freshmen will be coached by Otis Rawls, Fred
Duckett, and Johnny Stokes, all former varsity players
who are still in school but no longer eligible.
An eight-game schedule for the frosh has been ar
ranged, beginning March 23 with the South Carolina Area
Trade School.
