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day's meet, but he has also withdrawn.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.

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.
Future Looks Good
U.S.C. finished fourth in the
A.C.C. last year, led by Norman
Flynn. This year's team, how
ever, is composed of seven con
sistent golfers, all except one
who are from this state and
there are no Seniors on the
squad. There are several good

with these same boys next year.

Norm Flynn, last year's captain
now turned professional. Coach
Johnson urges the Student Body
to turn out and support a really

home matches at Forest Lake

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

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. "Jerry is the

The Dreher High School graduate
is now 1-1 for 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."
