Tiger star John Dunkelberg pro vided the spark for his team as he took 171%2 points of the Clemson score. Charlie Bradshaw was high man for the Gamecocks with 14 points. Bradshaw, long-legged wonder of the Carolina squad, won the 120 high hurdles in 15.4 and took the 220 low hurdles in 26.1. Roger Lindsay of USC took third place honors in the 220. Carolina's promising two-miler Paul Masem had a rough go-of-it once he got in the Clemson hills. Masem took third place in the two mile, which was won by Gamecock crackerjack Johnny D r a k e in 9:58.9. Masem took a second place spot in the mile, won by Moore head of Clemson in 4:30.4, and John Pfalzgraf grafted on to third. Jack Pitt, gridiron star, won the shot put contest with a throw of 44 feet, GN, inches. Broad jump honors went to basketball wizard Ronnie Johnson with a jump of 20 feet, (; inches. Dan Upton of Carolina took third in the broad .iump. In the high jump Clemson coped most of the points but there was a tie for third place among two of Carolina's new additions to the team, Jim Valley and Roger Lind say. USC's Bob Drost. also a fine football starter, took a first place in the discus with a throw of 130 feet. Drost also latched on to a third in pole vaulting. Bob Brown, a consistent and hard-working runner, took the 100 yard dash in 10.3 and won the 220 dash in 23.2. In a freshman meet, South Caro lina defeated Clemson 65-57.

Young Gam brell, a halfback, entered the gam for the Varsity when the score wa 7-6 in favor of the Grads. He had not particularly distinguished him self heretofore in the proceeding and his substitution was consid. ered routine.

But former grid iron star and track ace Buddy Mayfield summed up the impres sion ot most of the spectators when he said of the young Georgia hopeful, "He was great. Simply great." Ed Pitts 3 In Palmer EI)ITOR'S NOTE: In making the announcement that Ed Pitt. had been selected as the Univer _1sity of South Carolina's candidate tor the South Carolina Chiroprac tors' Association Palmer Award iot the most outstanding college athlete, Hlumpy Wheeler, acting S p o r t s Publicity D)irector, de scribed Pitts as follows: -"A coach 's dr eami . . . a phrayer's player." The ab)ove refers to one of the greatest tackles to ever w e a I the garnet and black for the .University football team - Ed Pitts. Pitts, a rugged 2-10-pound red head from Clinton, S. C., started his college career as a "scrawny' 1 90-pounder. But he made the reshnmen team in~ (lassic style and coach Warren Giese~ wa p timistically eyeing the day when he would blossom out into a full - sized tackle. =His wishes came true when Pi tts was a sophomore ini 1958. lIe was a third-stringer, playing~ I' e h i n d All-American candlidate John Kompara and 245-pound Ales L CARE GIVEN SHIRTS hr s lo lie Mllo llars . . . with Sunshine's Sleeping Collars! NHINE IlbY & CLEANERS ty, Ton Furman Ri Nod In Ann South Carolita's track team will defend its title of "state champ ion" today and tomorrow, as the Gamecocks will host freshman and varsity squads from Clemson, The Citadel, Furman, and Presbyterian in the 33rd annual State Track Meet. From all indications it looks as though Carolina's top challenger is Furman. Coached by Chuck Robe, who says that this should be Furman's best year ever, the Hurricane thinclads have shown true promise t h i s spring-even brilliance at times. The big news from the up-state is Furman freshman Dave Segal, who hails from London, England. A. beautifully conditioned young sprinter, Segal has had the Olym pic scouts asking his name, with his perfect form and amazing times. lie has broken the 10 second mark almost every time he has run the 100-yard dash, and his best time in the event is 9.5 sec onds. Should he drop this mark down to 9.4 either today or to morrow%, he will tie the carolilna track record, set by Duke's D1ve Sine in 1958. He has already sur passed the state record in t0hat de partment. PU Sprinters Weak Coach Itohe's chief problems lie in the weakness of his varsity sprinters. Injuries have riddled this department, and distance 'en and juilpers have been havin to double up on their assignments. Transfer students have boosted the Hurricanes considerably this season. Thad Talley, one of the finest junior college men in he nation last year, is Furman's top distant runner and has also cleared the 13-foot mark in the pole vault. Tony Etnyre. a former Michigan State star, has also carried a big load for Rohe, as he is a consis tent point getter in the sprints.

After a fine sophomore season, carie spring practice anr1d a battle royal with Konpara for the start ing berth.
