It was an extremely gratifying victory for Coach Bill McClain's rorces, who, aside from a 4-4 leadlock with Wake Forest last season, had regularly been on the short end of the score in their dual matches. This year, the Gamecock netters started off by losing to College of Charleston, Presbyterian, Davidson, and The 'itadel, but they looked good against PC, despite losing 8-1, and according to McClain, their at titude changed ever so slightly. [his change was evidenced in the Wofford match. The Terriers rom Spartanburg brought a good eamr to Columbia last Friday, and .'n paper at least, appearedl to be the superior outfit. Howard, play ing number one for USC as he lid most of last season, put the skids to Wofford's hopes of a win when he toppedl Miller in the jpening singles match, 13-11, 4-6, .-2.

"They knew about the losing streak, "Coach McClain said of nis team, "and it put the pressure )n them. They did well under that pressure." All but two of the matches went .1 full three sets, as the Carolina nen, determined to wipe out the osing tradition in tennis at this school, rolled up their sleeves and ot down to business. Bill McClain commented after wards that he hoped this was the beginning of a new era in tennis to USC; Coach McClain is doing all he can. Last week he signed two fine high school players from Richmond, Virginia to grants-in aid. Jim Denoon, 18, and IIenry Ragle, 17, of Thomas Jefferson High School, will enroll at USC in September, becoming the see and and third players from the Richmond area to enter Carolina since McClain's appearance on the Gamecock tennis scene. Ned Burke of Richmond enrolled here. last fail and will become eligible for varsity competition next year. Both Denoon and Ragle are rank ing players in the Middle Atlantic Lawn Tennis Association. Both plan to study pre-law at the Uni versity. "These two boys are another step in our growing tennis pro gram at the University of Sout h Carolina," McClain said. iIe added that bo0th boys were "well thought of among junior players in the country and I am sure they will be great assets to our program." ~MS (e Special 0. lB OF BEEF lEANS i1 BREAKFAST to I WAFFLES OR Ig HOT CAKES, I SAUSAGE AND I COFFEE 0 Prep For State-Record Relays Event BY MIKE FTDSON Sports Weiter The Big Ten will be represented for the first time and there will be increased representation from 'ie East in the third annual Caro lina State-Record Relays at USC's Rex Enright Athletic Center track April 3.

Auburn University track coach Mel Rosen informed Coach Bas kin the Tigers would be unable to art icipate as a team in the Caro :ina State-Record Relays April 3 lWe to a dual meet scheduled the previous day.

Seton Hall boasts the most unique track novelty of the year in twins from Germany, Herb and George Germain. The two hoys are top middle distance runners and their presence will make Seton Hall a threat in the two-mile relay, sprint medley, and open mile races. Says Coach Baskin, "Weve started a track meet here at Caro lina and mean for it to be the equal if not the best in this part of the country. We have tremen dous facilities for such a meet here at Carolina, and the terrific com)petitio(n offered by the new a(ddit ions to the field should hellp to further the interests of track andl field in the South. Coach Baskin has put in long and tiring hours for the last year with the purpose of putting the Carolina State-Record Relays at the top of the list of major Col legiate track meets. The power teams brought into the fold by H laskin should inspire the schools il ready entered in the meet to greater Performances to make up a really powerful Carolina State Record Relavs. I EXPERIT WATCHl AND HYMAN'S JEWELERS Net to IPalme~tto Theater CAMPBEL COR PE 945 S Check On Specials A * Hamburger * Grilled ChleE e Milk Shakes da R< Locke TERRY Our poll of unlikely baseball experts on who will win the pen nants hit a snag this week when a couple of prospects took "un likely" literally. President John son-that's right, Lyndon B. gave us a "no response" answer, if you can call it an answer. He probably felt a prediction would constitute an endorsement.

His answer: "Not sure. Probably Bradley, er, I mean Princeton." Right the first time! . . . The Boston Red Sox have signed in to their organization Steve Clark, a pitcher from Oregon State University. Clark also has been drafted as a kicking specialist by football's Green Bay Packers.

Clark has an advantage over the others, however, if he can make the big time. Pitchers and kickers usually outlast the other positions (Warren Spahn, Lou Groza). There's a good chance that the Boston Celtics will once again take the NBA cake. How have they managed to come out on top for so long? Strange as it sounds, partly through luck.
