Tomorrow for the first time South Carolina will play host to a big-time relay meet. The State-Record Relays have attracted some of the finest college track teams in the East. Many schools expressed an interest in attending the two-day affair but will be unable to because of previous commitments. The team traveling the farthest distance to attend the meet is Brown University which is located in Provi dence, R. I. The Brown Bears ran at the Florida Relays this past weekend and competed in a triangular meet with USC and William and Mary on Wednesday. Brown is on its annual trip South during the spring vacation. Coach Ivan Fuqua is quite pleased with the way his } team has shaped up. Last spring the Bears did not win a single meet, but this past winter the team won five of seven meets against excellent competition. Fuqua has at tributed this improvement to the depth which 22 sopho-1 mores have provided. All but five members of the Brown j team are underclassmen. Captain Al Yodakis will lead the Bears. The husky 220-pound senior is an excellent man in the weight events and should give Duke's Dick Gesswein some real competition in the shot put and discus. Distance run ner, Dave Farley, won the IC4A mile title this past h winter and has been clocked in 4:10.4 for that event. U He heads Brown's distance men. Fuqua has an excellent prospect in the sprints. Jerry t} Havender finished fourth in the IC4A Dash Championship G this past winter and third in the Heptagonal Games. If si Havender can keep from pulling muscles this spring he could be one of the best sprinters in the East. A Brown has good all-round depth with at least three L men in every event. If their sophomores come through, s Brown may have one of the toughest teams in the Ivy s4 League. The Maryland Terrapins were scheduled to send down - an entire team, but unfortunately their big guns will not be able to attend the Carolina Relays. Six of Maryland's best men went to the Florida Relays last weekend, paying their own way, and as a result the school's official's feel they would miss too much school if they came to Columbia this weekend. Thus, the meet favorite in the mile relay and sprint y medley will not be Maryland as was expected. Pole r vaulter, John Belitza was expected to attend Satur day's meet, but he has also withdrawn. Nevertheless, Maryland with its tremendous depth will come up with a team that will represent the ACC Champs adequately. t An old favorite at USC, Dave Segal, will be here to amuse us with his antics. Despite the abuse he suffers at al the hands of those blood thirsty Carolina track fans, Dave still manages to come up with some good performances. He T holds the State Meet Record in the 220. Dave will probably T anchor Furman's 440-yd. relay team and their mile relay t team. Furman has one of the outstanding teams in the 0 Southeast. P1 No less important to the Furman team is distance h man Dennis Patterson. He won the State Meet last year in the mile run and won both the mile and the two-mile cO at the ACC Meet in the Non-Conference Division. Fur- ar man will have an excellent chance to upset Brown in 3 the distance medley with Patterson running the anchor leg. The versatile harrier may also enter the two,mile ' run. di The Tarheels from Chapel Hill will send down a very capable team headed by high jumper Tom Clark, and team captain Jerry Stuver who is known to many fans at Caro- 3 lina more for his antics off the track than on the track. " Two-miler Carmie Lunetta can be considered a contender if he enters the two-mile run. UNC will have a particularly strong two-mile relay team. i .The boys from the Hills of Howard will be down b with an excellent group of sprinters that compose their i 440-yd. relay team. James Wynn, the anchor man, won of the ACC Dash Championship this past winter. Along with Wynn are Don Gilbert, Wes King and Carl Poole. w King is also a hurdler and will compete in the 120-yd. highs or the 330-yd. intermediates. Carolina track fans will get their first looklat fresh men sensation Bob Crombie. The lad from Down Under ran a terrific leg in the sprint medley at the Florida Relays. His time of 1:53 broke the listed school record. Bob is also the anchor man on the mile relay team. Let's all get out for an afternoon at the track. Don't be a meat-head IG.t Vitalls with V-7.

Trym ~~t Golfers B BY MIKE SEWELL Sports Writer The U.S.C. golf team, with a present record of 5-0-1, is unde feated and appears to be the greatest golf team in the history of Carolina. The team is also undefeated in the Conference (2-0-1) and pulled an astound ing upset by tying defending A.C.C. champion Duke on its home course last week (Duke was unbeaten and untied on its home course since at least 1953). The team has outscored the op position 99-36 while taking vic tories over Presbyterian College, Wofford, The Citadel, Virginia, North Carolina and tying power ful Duke.

Coaching Staff The coaching staff is headed by Frank Johnson, Assistant Athletic Director and he is ably assisted by Melvin Hemphill, Forest Lakes professional golfer, Jimmy Pulliam, one of the South's top amateur golfers, and Norm Flynn, last year's captain now turned professional. Coach Johnson urges the Student Body to turn out and support a really great team by attending the home matches at Forest Lake Country Club. Coach Johnson points out that these boys have a really good attitude. He added that we are competing favorably against such teams as Duke and Wake Forest which have pro duced such all-time greats as Arnold Palmer and Mike Sou chak. Even more remarkable is the fact that our team is com posed of home talent - six S. C. boys and Sandy Snead of Rock le Gives )ver Yale up to 7-0 before coming to life. Then boys like Fetner, Corley and Mosely started hitting an others like Lanford and William: knocked them in for needed runs.

OLINA STUDENTS! 1D AND YOU TO SEE ITH - - JEAN SIMMONS -MICHAEL RENNIE CAROLINA SH U LTON4 'nd to other men I Baseball T( Two From N BY TOM HUNTER Sports Writer Carolina's baseball Gamecock, took their second victory of the season last Friday defeating thi, previous season's s m a 11 collegE champions, Georgia Southern, b3 a 12-3 margin. John Coleman dic a tremendous job on the mound anc at the plate for USC in holding the Southerns to only six hits anc driving in three runs. The scoring started in the second inning on a 350-foot blast over the right field fence by Georgia': Charles Tarpley with a man or base. In the bottom of the second Coleman stepped to the plate and evened the score at 2-2 on a double that brought in two men. Thest were the first of five runs Carolina scored in the big inning on fout hits and four walks. Having successful (lays at th< plate were second sacker Hoke Greiner and right fielder Billy Kelly who each collected three hits. Losing p i t c h e r was Georgia Southern's Pierce Blanchard, first of three who tried to stop the hard hitting Birds. Pierce was voted little All-American last year on his 10-2 record, and at one time was second in the nation in the ERA de partment. This was the first loss in 12 contest for the visitors who had won their first five this season and their last six of last season. Speaking of good pitchers, Coach Grugan speaks favorably of Jerry Coleman who picked up his first victory of the season.

"Once they jell they're going to be tough" is how Coach Grugan sums up "the best team we've had in years." These comments came after the Gamecocks won their third game of the young season, taking Georgia Southern for the second time in as many days, on this occasion 7-4. The big innings came in the first and seventh when all but one of Carolina's runs were scored. Bring ing home over half the hits for the home team were outfielder Ted Fetner (leading batsman) with two and shortstop Jim Lanford with three. Carolina led the entire contest, getting off to a quick start in the first inning scoring three times on three walks, a single, a bunt, and two ground outs. Starter David Bell got full credit for the team's second loss of the season. Coach Grugan seems to think the reasons for the three consecutive victories are pitching and defense. Even though the Birds are coming off somewhat slowly in these de partments, the coach reassures us "The boys are starting to come along now, a little more work." Jerry Johnson was the third pitcher to gain a victory this season for his efforts in Georgia contest. "Jerry has been doing a real credit able job for us, he's the answer to a prayer I guess." rogramming With ER in Mind."
