He finished the high hurdles with an almost record-breaking 8.7 sec nds, only one-tenth of a second shy of the conference mark of 8.8 seconds. At present, Don holds the ACC record in the 120-yard hurdles. Another G amecock who "brought home the bacon" was Carolina's Conway Snipes who tied for first place in the pole vaulting event. Snipes vaulted 18 feet even, tying the school record which he already held. Carolina's Jim Mace don also participated In this event, vaulting 12 feet, 6 inches.

ACC (Continued from page 6) when they defeated the South Carolina five by a score of 99-59. Senior Nick Davis set a new school record for Maryland, connecting with 12 out of 16 shots from the floor and finishing with a 75-per cent average. Davis was also the game's high scorer with 25 points. Al Bunge followed with 12. The 99 points was also a record, in that it was the highest a Terp team had ever scored. For Carolina, "Cookie" Pericola dropped in 19, Mike Callahan finished with 16, and Dick Hoff man had 15. PERICOLA HOPEFUL "Cookie" Pericola, South Caro lina's star guard, needs only 16 points going into the opening round of the ACC tournament to tie the school sophomore-junior scoring record. Jim Slaughter holds the mark of 802 points for the 1948-49 and 1949-50 seasons. Pericola scored 434 points last year as a sophomore and has 352 this year for a combined total of 786. HIs total last year was a new sophomore record for USC. Carolina doesn't have a senior on its starting lineup. In fact, the only seniors of the squad are Wayne Godfrey, who has played in eight games, and Lee Anderson, who has played in six. The Gamecocks have played six games in the history of the ACC tournament, winning two and los ing four. In 1954 they lost to Wake Forest, 58-57 in overtime; lost to Duke, 83-67 in 1955; lost to Wake Forest, 79-64 in 1956; and in 1957 they beat'Duke, 84-81, and Maryland, 74-64, and lost to North Carolina in the finals, 95 75.

On)v Jimmy Merck, a rising senior from Liberty, has had ex. perience at the position, but sev eral sophomores and a compara tively inexperienced senior have shown early indications that they will figure into the picture for next fall. The sophomores include Ker Derriso, a 205-pounder from Swainsboro, Ga., John Bodkin, a 210-pound South Charleston, W. Va., native, Jim McGovern, Mas sapequa Park, N. Y., and David Adams, 200 pounds from Short Hills, N. J. Are you bored at night; you can't sleep? Then take the fol lowing ingredients-a cool blonde and a spicy book and throw them out of the window. Take up an iron frying pan, a five-celled flashlight with extra batteries, and an open-sighted rifle. Well, now you're in business. Since it has just rained, the swamps are flooded and should be full of frogs. Play the five-cell across each patch of the wet stuff and along every bank. When about a dozen pairs of peepers show, sight with the light down the barrel and pop at the space ;rovided between the glowing yel low eyes. To find finished frogs, simply get down in your favorite dice-throwing position and floun der arowid, flinging floating frogs and filtering out, finally, the fattest fellows. . . . Fine folly, what? GOOD DEAL If you have ever tried to launch and drive a boat on a pond like Lake Murray, you will appreciate the steps recently taken by The Stite toward setting down run ning rules for water traffic. Now adays it's downright unhealthy to point your bow in any direction other than back up the hill for fear of having it separated by the girl driver watching her Tarzan of the waterways. Anyhow, The State has asked suggestions and this is well taken, being so timely. Every lake or stream visited by this writer usually had its Sunday afternoon "Aqua-Kings." Children are the sufferers in case of any mishaps. We should all give more thought to water safety this year and hope the idea catches on. RIVER HAUNTS While still moist, I would like to mention something about ram bling along the rivers. Drifting down the North Santee, you leavE the inland high hill section witl1 its drier woods and proceed down stream toward the Atlantic.

Bring mn FRE if pass purchai SEMESTEN Developing ird Position. Charlie Hoskins, who weighs 220 pounds and comes from Sum ter, is the senior making his strongest bid to date. Giese ob served that Hoskins has loomed as. a real "darkhorse" thus far. Another interesting battle is developing at a fairly secure loca tion-left tackle. Don Rogers, a regular there during the 1957 season, is getting more than passing competition from Ed Pitts, a rugged 210 pound junior from Clinton, and Sammy Fewell, a 220-pound Rock Hill boy, who was coming along fast before being injured last fall. Giese has expressed extreme satisfaction over the attitude with which the Gamecocks have entered the off-season practices. The squad will continue to work out on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays until the annual spring game on March 29. you would find small islands in the midst of vast marsh and swamp regions. There you nibble wild persimmons or 'possum' sim mons, as the colored folk of the area call them. At night, you can catch opossums in their nocturnal tree habitat. Out in the open country now, y:>u can look to the right while moving eastward toward the ocean. There - you would observe endless sloughs and streams emp tjing into the Santee from the Delta, once covered by rice. This maze of creeks bordered by boggy marshes used to hold much waterfowl. On your left, the raised lands have thinned to occa sional patches. Far over the rice ditches, you might glimpse the desirable plantation lands that remain to this day some of the richest areas of beauty and tradi tion in the world. Picture yourself on the silty waters of the Waccamaw River. A certain island here is sought. Its approach is a sandy beach with foreboding cypress trees in the background. Once past these trees, a log across a brook lets you onto a soggy, floating grass cover that seems endless in depth. Each footstep sends the quivering grass into undulation. Safe from this perilous walk, you stand on a fascinating isle dotted with pines and oaks. Slave cabins form a chain on one ridge while very old English bricks lie buried on an other. We think that they were used for keel ballast on the British ships which sailed up to this point and had to jettison due to steerage and to weight prob lems in fresh water. Ten miles closer to the ocean, the brackish water runs to meet the salt. A strange (Indian?) mound rises, then dips lower over on the inboard side of this refuge. It moasures 50 to 60 feet across and is 20 feet deep. I get a bizzare feeling when I stand at the base of the mound. For its size seems unbelievable. In case you'd like to explore the riverlands, the boat leaves Saturday at 12 for the low country. PRICE tto us. ded the ten and are of led, will this ad sed that
