The Gamecock track team
feWtlts state title tomorrow
field events beginning at 1:30
Trials will be held today E
Last year the Gamecocks
66.2/5 to 54 2/5, with the de<
vent of the day.
W Carolina' has back three men
who took firsts last year, as well
as two double winners of previ
ous years.
Sonny Wilcher won the 440,
Freddy Roberts the 880, and Joe
Silas -the discus last year, all as
freshmen. Roberts set a new
record in the half-mile with a
time of -1:57.5.
Woodlee Back
Tommy Woodlee, back from
service, won the 100 and 220-yard
dashes in 1950, tying the record
in th100 with a 9.7 time. Garn
McBride, injured last year, won
the half-mile and mile runs in
1952. He will run the mile and
two-mile this year.
Wilcher, Roberts, and Leon Cun
ningham were members of last
year's winning mile relay team
and will be joined by Wqodlee
this year. Woodlee ran a leg on
the 1950 milt relay team that
holds the record in that event.
Other top contenders for the
Gamecocks include low hurdler
Don Whetstone, who is unbeaten
in dual competition this year in
his specialty, and Gene Berry and
Bobby Drawdy in the javelin.
Records Threatened
Several members of the Cairo
lina team have been flitting
around state record times during
,the regular season and possibly
six mirks will be in jeopardy
tomorrow. -
Woodlee hasn't run under ideal
conditions this year and stands a
chance of setting new marks in
both the 100 and 220. He has run
bot5events during dual meets
within a tenth of a second of the
records.
The records are 9.7 in the 100,
set by Hutt of USC in 1934 and
tied by Woodlee in 1950, and 21.6
in the 220, set by Scooter Rucks
of USC in 1948.
Another feature will be Wood
lee's chance to avenge his only
losses of the season in these
events. P. C. freshman Delane
Johnson edged Woodlee out in the
firit meet of the season, but
Tommy has clocked better times
than Johnson since then.
Baskin Picks Woodlee
Coach Weems Baskin has given
the opinion all season that his star
would take Johnson in their return
match. Baskin explained that it
takes the older Woodlee longer to
get in shape than it does Johnson.
Roberts will be out to better
his-record mark of last year. Ho
ran the 880 in 1:57 in the Florida
relays, half a second better than
the record.
Oarn McBride, one of the few
seniors among the Gamecocks, has
come with a second of the exist
ing mile record and has bettered
the two-mile mark in dual meets.
Presbyterian's Bobby Vass may
threaten the byoad jump mark of
28 fet 8 7/8 inches set by Banks
Mce'cden 6f Clemson in 1940.
Vass leaped 28-4% last year, but
it did not stand as a record be
Sause the landing pit was found to
e lower than the jumping point.
The Gamecocks have won 12 or
14 dual meets in the last two
years, losing only to North Caro
lina this year and to Duke in
1958. They have defeated Pres
byterian, Duke, N. C. State,
Davidson and The Citadel in a
triangular meet, and Clemson this
season.
Probable Entrants
Probable entrants for the Game
cockB o~morrow will be Woodlee
and Drawdy in the 100 a*d 220,
Wilcher, Cunningham, and Whet
stone in the 440, Roberts and Billy
Kincaid in the 880, McBride and
Jack Blair in the mile, McBride
and Allen Inabinet in the two
mile, Whetstone and Roddy Rob
bins in the 220 low hurdles, Jack
Martin in the 120 high hurdles,
and a mile relay team composed
of Wilcher, Roberts, Cunningham
and Woodlee.
In the field events it'll probably
be Silas in the discus and shot
put, Berry and Drawdy in the
javelin, Berry and Jim Summer
in the broad jump, Martin and
Summer in the high jump, and
Gene Blrown in the pole vault.
