*1fishY lines After viewing the ACC track meet last week end at College Park, Md., and watching the Gamecock baseball team *wind up its season with three wins in four games this columnist has come to a few conclusions. The trip was made with the baseball team and proved educational with a first visit to Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, and was a lot of fun, too. One conclusion was that the Carolina baseball team is made up of a great bunch of fellows and the track team ranks ditto. We were surprised by the lack of spectators at the track meet. There were perhaps 300 fans in the stands and that's a rather generous estimate. It was an overcast day with pershaps a threat of rain, but that's no excuse, cjidering that the home team, Maryland, was favored, a"d dominated the trials. The Maryland student body showed even less interest in baseball. The Terps were in the thick of the ACC baseball race and yet only about 50 people showed up for either Friday or Saturday's game. Carolina will have a new track and it should be completed by next year. There's a chance that the Gamecocks will be host to the conference meet in 1955 and we hope they get it. With crowds running from 1,500 to 2,000 for dual meets, it's hard to say what an attraction like the conference meet would draw here. But Carolina has shown that track can have spectator appeal and the conference meet here would likely arouse a greater interest throughout the state, espe cially on the high school level where a revival is apparently now under way. We noticed that the officials at the state meet in Clinton had their meet rigged up much better for spectator appeal than the conference meet. For example, after each race at Clinton the first four men in each event were marched to the winners' stand, then a fanfare was sounded by a pair of trumpeteers and then the winner and the time was announced. At Maryland there was no display at all. Everybody ran and had their te recorded. Usually a couple of events later the winner and his tinte was announced. The winner of the mile run in the conference meet will be debatable for a long time to come. Maryland's Ben Good and Carolina's Garn McBride finished in just about a dead heat with Good coming up from the rear and actually running into McBride right at the finish. Mac didn't complain but when asked afterwards If he thought he broke the tape first, said yes. Coach Weems Baskin was another who didn't think much of the decision. It was a very tough break for McBride who ran the best mile of his career with a 4:22.5, six and a half seconds bet ter than his best previous time. Freddy Roberts also lost a heartbreaker, losing the half-mile by inches. Roberts made his bid a little late. Afterwards he said he believed he could have won If there would have been about two more yards. Incidentally, Maryland, Duke, and North Carolina have finiIshed as the top three teams each year since 1946, and Duke and North Carolina have been In the top three every year since the old conference was split Into the Southern and Southeastern conferences In 1932.

Birds Fin Track; W By JACK BASS Sports Editor Carolina's Gamecocks showed their strength in the straight running events in the ACC out door track meet last Saturday at College Park, Md., but their lack of power in the field events and hurdles cost dearly as the Birds finished fourth behind Maryland, North Carolina and Duke. The Gamecocks gained 36 of their 37 1/5 points in the run ning. Dash star Tommy Woodlee won the 100 and 220, but a slow track prevented him from posting any outstanding times. Coaoh Weems Baskin's sprinters com pletely dominated these two events with Bobby Drawdy taking third place in each and Sonny Wilcher adding a fourth in the 220 for 18 points in the two dashes. Two Lose By Inches South Carolina also had two near champs as Freddy Roberts lost by inches in the 880 and Garn McBride lost the official decision in a near dead heat in the mile. The mile relay team of Wood lee, Leon Cunningham, Roberts, and Wilcher finished second be hind Maryland. It was in the mile relay, final event of the day, that Maryland won over North Carolina. The Terps picked up five points with their first place finish while the Tar Heels finished fifth for one point. The final team score was 59 1/5 for Maryland to 57 7/10 for North Carolina.

Don Whetstone almost qualified for the low hurdles but stumbled badly at the beginning in the trials, Friday. Despite his bad start, Whetstone came from six yards back to within inches of qualify ing at the tape. Shankle Tops Individuals Duke's Joel Shankle was high scorer in the meet with first place in the 120 high hurdles, broad jump and high jump and a tie for first in the pole vault for 19% points.
