J idermen 4 r Seniors' continued to work on the 100-yard dash, the pole vault, and the high jump. On April 4, at the Georgia meet, Upton ran the 100 in 10.5 seconds. The young trackman was on his way to big things. At the Meet with Clemson he broad jumped 22 feet, six inches, which outdid the varsity competi tors, and was hailed as the best done in the state. The highly versatile Upton then went on to tie for a first place in pole vault ing at 10 feet, six inches; and place third in the javelin, at 152 feet. (The first place throw was 157 feet, nine and one-half inches). Another fine frosh trackman is Billy Tinder, from Atlanta, Ga. In the engagement with the Clem son Cubs, Tinder won both hur dles events and placed second in the broad jump. He did the 120 high hurdles in 16.0, and the 220 low hurdles in 25.3. This later run tied the freshman state rec ord. Jack Beason, a Salem, Virginia, product and fullback on the Game cocks' '59 squad, is also a fine prospect with the shot put.

Frosh Ciz Of FillinA By DAN FOSTER Sports Columnist Carolina track fans can take great comfort in the knowledge that the Gamecock's chances for continued track honors are bright indeed. Despite the loss of A.C.C. mile champion Bill Latham, 440 star Buddy Mayfield, and confer ence winning high hurdler Don Goodroe, Carolina will have a wealth of freshman track talent to fill the gaps left by gradua tion. The U.S.C.-Clemson meet on April 25 was an eye-opener. Fans saw the screens pulled from its frosh competitors, and almost ev eryone was pleased with what they saw. Standout in the freshman meet was Dan Upton, who seems to be off to a record-setting pace. Upton, who is from Buford, S. C., ran track for three years during his high school career, specializ ing in the 100, 220, and 440. He first came to the attention of Track Coach Weems Baskin at Chapel Hill on March 14 when he broad jumped 21 feet, eight inches, good enough to win the Conference Indoor event. He also ay new looking longer, fine finishes by ?men -olna Mile relay team including Ling Dixon. An added incentive ohnson Memorial trophy to the Sapable Shoes - with a throw of 43 feet, nine inches. John Pflazgraf, a cageman for the Biddies this past season, ran the mile in 4:35 in the meet against Georgia. He will also fig ure strongly on Carolina's cross country team. Pfalzgarf is from Parkersburg, West Virginia. Two other talents, yet to be seen in varsity competition, are Paul Masem and Charlie Brad shaw. Both are ineligible this sea son, due to transfering from other colleges. Masem, from Abilene Christian, ran the frosh mile in 4:18, and the two-mile in 9:22. He is the likely replacement for Billy Latham, present mile champ. Bradshaw, a transfer from Wof ford and a native of Darlington, I S. C., last spring tied Goodroe's I frosh state record of 15.4 for the 4 high hurdles. He ran "unattach ed" in the Clemson meet, and look ed quite promising. Both he and i Masem give avid track fans re- i newed hope that next season will j be as good, if not better, than < the present one. Of one thing we are certain, U.S.C. has an excellent group of rrosh and transfers from which -o draw, and we will be looking -o them for big things in the I ;easons to come. 6 : o EARN-HIGH PAY e 7 Men-Women . . . work aboal Freighters, Tankers.

Hard Working Track Coach Gets Results The fact that college track in the state of South Carolina is at its all-time high can be at tributed greatly to the work of Weems Baskin, hard - working track coach of the University of South Carolina. When Baskin oversees the an nual state collegiate meet in Co lumbia Friday and Saturday he will be trying to maneuver his Gamecocks to their seventh team championship in nine efforts un der this guidane This domination by Baskin coached squads has forced the hand of other schools around the state, and they have come up with the strongest squads ever to challenge the Gamecocks this weekend. Furman and The Cita del, long sufferers in the "Little Olympics" of the Palmetto State, have indicated that they are capa ble of beating out Carolina and Clemson, who have picked up most of the marbles through the years. Further tribute to Baskin's Gamecock command is the calibre of performers he has produced. Of 15 state-meet records, Baskin oached athletes hold nine. Such record-setters as sprinter rommy Woodlee, half-miler Fred Roberts, distance star Billy Lath am, quarter-miler Buddy Mayfield, iurdler Don Goodroe, shot putter Dave Coates, discus ace Joe Silas and javelin star Dick Bartulski ,ave monopolized the state's all lime great performances under Baskin's guidance. Last year Baskin produced eight individual state-meet champions, breaking three records and tying another, as Carolina swept an >ther team trophy. Despite a leg injury to his great iurdler, Don Goodroe, Baskin ap )ears to have the team to beat kgain this year. Moving outside state competi ;ion Baskin's Gamecocks -have )laced consistently in the first di rision in the annual Atlantic Coast ,onference meet, producing ten in lividual champions in five years. Baskin has a solid background n track, having performed in nany events while a student at uburn but becoming most fam ,us as national hurdles champ n 1928, when he was a member >f the U. S. Olympics squad. He later ran for the New York thletic Club before coaching at tuburn and then Georgia, where e produced Olympics hurdles hamp Spec Towns.
