The strongest opposition will be from Maryland and Duke. The USC track team continued to win the annual state meet at Clinton last Saturday by defeat ing the opponents by a margin of 29 points. This marks the fourth consecutive year that the Game cocks have won the state meet and the eleventh time in the history of the school. Records Fall During the course of the day three new state records were set and all were by Gamecocks. The first record that was broken was the discus throw by big Joe Silas. Silas, who the day before had just broken the record, threw the discus an outstanding distance of 150 feet, 1% inches to win by more than 10 feet. 'rhe next record to be broken was the javelin throw. In this event, Dick "Zeke" Bartulski con tinued to shine with his left arm still in a cast by throwing the spear 213l feet, 8%/ inches to break his old record by 24 feet. Fred Roberts running the 880 yard run in a time of 1 :67.0 broke his own record which he set in his sophomore year. His old record was 1:57.1. Snipes Shines Conway Snipes won the plaque for the person wvith the most points in the meet. Snipes compiled a total of 12 points to nose out Allen Inabinet, Clemson's Joe Boweni, and Presbyterian's Delane John son, who each had 10 points. *Snipes won the pole vault by ating 13 feet and won the broad jump with a leap of 22 feet, 2% inches. This outstanding Atlanta, G;eorgia, sophomore finished the dlay by placing third in the 100 yard dash to capture the plaque. ('lean Sweep in 440 Dash The most outstanding event for the Gamecocks in respect to points was the 440-yard run which the Gamecocks swept all four places. Sonny Wilcher won the event with a time of 49.8 seconds, but was losel y followed by George Thomas, on Whetstone and Larry Patrick. Allen Inabinet won both the mile and two-mile runs with times of 4:35.1 and 10:35.9, respectively. "Nab" led all the way in both events to gather 10 poInts for the Gamecocks. Collins Misses Record Tom Collins won the high jump with a jump of 6 feet, but fell short on breaking the record, which is 6 feet, 3 inches. Collins almost cleared the bar on his second try for the record. In the last event of the day the Gamecocks tried a new combina tion of runners in the mile relay.

ACC Busy Sports Drav When 40,000 persons filed into the Los Angeles Coliseum Satur day to see a college track meet, with a special one-mile event featuring Australia's John Landy, it was obvious that this sport has a lot of spectator appeal when the competition is of high quality. The big indoor meets in the East usuplly pack 'em in, even without Wes Santee, and everywhere that the p)ublic has beeni "educated" to track, they have found it Interest ing to watch. Before the University of South Carolina disbanded its track and moved Its dual meets to Fort Jack son the crowds at local meets usually approached the 2,000 mark. The university Is supposed to have its new track on Rosewood Dr ive readyo for next seasnn. and again John Cooley High In ACC Strikeouts Lefty Davis of Wake Forest, eaten by North Carolina last t week for his first 1956 defeat, con- C inues to lead the Atlantic Coast v ,onference in pitching with a 5-1 ecord. But three challengers are a mapping at his heels. s Tommy Hargrove and Lou Dick- a man of N. C. State and John Drake g >f Clemson are in hot pursuit of Davis, the 1955 ACC mound cham- i pion. Each of this trio has a 4-1 t, record. Joe Forys of Virginia is b iot too far behind wit. a 3-1 mark. s Hargrove is the ACC's No. 1 o pitcher in earned run average, posting a superb 1.26. But he is f rlosely followed by Drake's 1.41 t and the 1.58 average of Wake For- '7 mst's John Stokoe, who has a 3-2 h record. Jim Raugh of North Carolina, possessor of a 2.85 ERA despite a 4-4 record, continues to set the 4 pace in strikeouts with 51. He is trailed by Drake with 48. Davis and John Cooley of South Caro lina have fanned 43 apiece. Davis' control once more is the ACC's best. He has walked only 12 in 50 1-3 innings. Cooley is the most worked moundsman, having pitched 81 2/3 innings for the . Gamecocks. t Chuck Arnold of Virginia leads batters with a .404 average, trailed closely by Dud Whitley, .403; 1 Sonny Santoli, .400, and Bill Peed, .397, all of N. C. State. Whitley and Ivalee Hill of North Carolina lead runs batted in with 22 each. Santoli tops stolen bases with 15. Andy Cockrell of Duke leads home runs with seven. Frank Ellerbe tops triples with t eight and Russ Casteen of N. C. State and George Miller of Wake Forest lead doubles with seven each. Birds Place Two In Top 15 Hitters Keeping up the trend of the past month, the Atlantic Coast Confer ence has a new batting leader, and this time he is catcher Chuck Arnold of Virginia, who posts a .404 average for a slim lead over Dud Whitley and Sonny Santoli of North Carolina State. Whitley, fourth a week go, is now second with a .403 mark, fol lowed by Santoli, last week's leader at .400. Billy Peed, also of the hard-hitting Wolfpack, is fourth with an average of .397, only seven perceatage points off the pace. But after that leading quartet, there is a drop of 26 points to the next closest man, the 1955 ACC batting champion from [Duke, Andy Cockrell. Cockrell, batting .371 and gain ing steadily, has taken over as the leader in borne runs with seven, and he and Whitley are tied for secoad in triples with five each Frank Ellerbe of South Carolina is the top maan with eight. Whitley and North Carolina's Ivalee Hill are deadlocked for first place in runs batted in, each with 22, and Peed is close on their heels wvith 20. Santoli is the leader in stolen bases with 16, only two off the ACC single season record. Billy Barnes of Wake Forest aad Arnold are trailing with 11 and 10 thefts, r'espectively.

It would he app)ropriate to mark te first year of new USC athi etic fields by bringing the Atlan id-Coast Conference ouatdoor meet ricre next May, and we believe that t would draw the largest crowd in Is short history. With fellows like D)ave Sime (apologies to the D)uke baseball ~oach) running, and sonme promis nig Ganmecock freshmen joining aeveral talented varsity returnees, he meet would offer competition hat would rival many of the na ion's top meets.

Sex Sponsoi fy Melba Corley The Women's Athletic Associa ion is the sole organization on the arolina campus for sponsoring omen's athletic contests. The WAA is open to all women ttending the University who de ire to share in the work required nd the pleasure derived from the roup's recreational activities. The purpose of the organization i to develop physical efficiency, : encourage an interest in ath tics, to promote good sportsman hip, and to create a spirit of co peration and fellowship. Usually the association sponsors our tournaments annually, but his year there were only three. 'he contests are in badminton, asketball, volleyball, and tennis. Tournament Winners The independent freshman team ;LEN PELLETIER (Continued from page 6) hough not knowing the proper vay to carry the ball, picked up the igskin and raced 65 yards for a ouchdown. As the season pro ressed, Glen became more football vise and as a reward for a task well done" he was offered foot all scholarships by some of the op football powers in the South. "You know, hunting is really ,reat around home," he said, in re nting a few humorous stories bout himself. "And, if it weren't or football, hunting would be my avorite sport." Turning to a more serious aspect f the conversation, Pelletier had ust one complaint insofar as play ng football in college. He feels hat everyone expects too much f athletes in all phases of school Lctivities. In other words, all eyes re focused upon the athletes in vhatever they attempt to do. He loesn't have the answer to this ituation, but Nyould like to see a hange occur in some manner. Pelletier was very impressive n spring practice and he was, limself, impressed by the spirit of he entire group. He feels that he Gamecocks will be much tronger next year and to justify is claim: "We'll beat Clemson, Duke and diami for the major victories of he season."

There were no badminton games this year. The tennis tournament is currently under way and the winner is yet undetermined. Winners of the tournaments are presented trophies given by Caro lina's physical education depart ment for women. These prizes are awarded through the WAA. The organization nas about 30 members. An association council, a repre- I sentative body of the sororities and the organized independents, was recently organized. Although the association does most of the work, the council plots the course and steers the group through its schedule of activities. Each of ficer is from a different sorority, and the sororities and the inde pendents not having a member in office are given a representative. Association President Neil Reid said that a spring council session would be hvid soon to map out the work for next year. Possibly the slate of tournaments for women will be increased. Letters and Officers Old English "C" letters are re ceived by members who have a minimum of 250 accumulative points. These points may be earned by participating in tourna ments and in placing in these events. Officers of WAA are Neil Reid, president; Liz Singletar y. vice president; Legare Coker. seere tary-treasurer; and Beverly Par ler, publicity chairman. Mrs. Ver danna Craig of the Women's Physical Education Department is faculty advisor. Pete Stokes, watch fob shortstop from Darlington, figured he'd bet ter shine while he had the chance recently when regular Gamecock third baseman Bunky Shore was injured. Pete, having been at bat only once before in this season, came to the plate five times. While his folks watched from the stands he rapped out a double, triple and home run, drove in six runs and stole a base. :omis asks: are my ' tes for iment In :ompany I Pont?
