Trackm By Jerry Hiekey Assistant Sports Editor Carolina's cindermen were do fe4ted by Duke Ia&t Monday in a close meet that saw the Ganie cocks take nine of 15 firsts. Carolina went into the final event, the mile-relay, holding a three point.lead, but Duke won this to take the meet 66% to 64%. Duke's speedy sprinter Dave Ie took the 100-yard dash as pected but was nipped at the tape by Carolina's Jim Cathcart in the 224. Sime came down the stretch holding a good lead over Cathcart, but Cathcart came up fast and as Sie glanced over his right shoulder near the finish, Catheart shot past him. Cath eart's time was a good 22.6 sec Oends. Sime ran the 100 in 9.4 seconds, only a tenth of a second above the world record, which he shares with several others. In this event Carolina's King Dixon also broke 10 seconds. Despite the intermittent rain a crowd of over 2,000 turned out to see the meet, which was close all Great buyl the trim-ftting ARROW Glen It's the shirt with tho out choice in collar regular, button-down, manent stay Arro% Exclusive Mitoga* t carries through the tri ered look from collar i to cuff.

Distance ace Billy Latham took first places in both the mile and the two-mile run. Don Goodroe won both the low and high hurdles. His time of 14.2 seconds in the high hurdles was three-tenths of a second bet ter than the Atlantic Coast Con ference record of 14.5 seconds. Conway Snipes came in first in the high jump event and tied for a first in the pole vault. Other Gamecock winners were Buddy Mayfield in the 440 and Dave Coates in the shot put. Despite the fact that he had sustained a painful finger injury Saturday when a car door was slammed on it, Dave hurled the put 52 feet, 3% inches, good for a new school outdoor record. The Gamecocks opened their '58 track season last week by trounc ing the Presbyterian College team, giving them a 1-1 record thus far in the season.

Destino is the only non-letter man in that line-up. Roof, who has a .400 average in 15 times at bat last spring, and Rosefield, who batted .296 in 71 times up, are the returnees with the most impressive hitting rec ords. Other experienced returnees among the pitchers are Jim Craig of Greenwood, who had a 2-3 record and a 1.81 earned run aver age last season, and Leon Norton, who had a 1-2 record in 1957. Grugan believes the Gamecocks will have better hitting than they showed in 1957.
