F o u r t e e n varsity swimmers,
who, mong them, hold every single
swimming record at USC, will go
after Atlantic Coast Conference
distinction this season, under the
g u i d i n g hand of Coach Jack
Thompson, who will be starting
his second year at the helm. Of
these 14, eight are sophomores,
coming up from 1964's overwhelm
ingly successful freshman team.
They are led by crawler Jeff Kin
caid, who has been elected team
captain for the coming year. Coach
Thomitson pointed out that it is
unusual for a boy to be elected
captain in his sophomore year,
"but he deserves it."
Kincaid is one of those whom
Thompson has described as "look
ing very good so far." Others war
ranting this acclaim are breast
stroker Bill Muller of Baltimore,
Nd., and Dick Machata of Pom
pano Beach, Fla. The breaststroke
burden will fall entirely on Muller
for at least the first half of the
season. due to the fact that the
other two breaststrokers, Rusty
Winter and Don Tindall, both vet
erans, are recuperating from seri
ous injuries suffered during the
sumlimer.

Lewis of Aiken (medley); Steve
Long of Allentown, Pa. (medley) ;
and Bill Jones of Rock Hill (free
ityle).
Langnehs was ACC freshman
living chniapion last year and
beat the varsity titlist, Drew Tay
lor of Wake Forest, in an unoffi
-ial duel. Says Thompson,
"Langnehs has the potential to
win the varsity conference cham
pionship this year, even though
Taylor is back." N. C. State, Wake
Forest, and Maryland have the
strongest divers in the league,
aside from Langnehs.
Alex Alexander of Thirroul,
New South Wales, is currently
swimming with the freshmen, but
will become eligible for varsity
conpetition at mid-year. Alexander,
the popular Australian who swam
on his country's 1964 Olympic
team, is the British Empire 400
meter Individual Medley champion.
Thompson describes this medley as
"probably the most grueling race
in swimming."
VETERANS
Back from the 1964 varsity, be
sides the injured Tindall and Win
ter, are freestylers John Parry
and Paul Knapp, backstroker
Garnet French, and butterfly man
Daryl Pettus of Oxnard, Cali

This year's varsity, coached by
Thompson with assistants Pete
Combes from Florida State and
former USC star Johnny Evans,
will be, says the head man, "the
best ever at Carolina."
Thompson will be able to say the
same thing next year when his
current crop of freshmen begin
swimming for the varsity. They
are 26 in number, and boast six
high school All-Americans, two of
them divers.
FRESIIMEN
Heading the list is diver Vic
Laughlin, a five-year navy veteran
from Waterloo, Iowa. Laughlin,
who achieved All-America ranking
in high school, ranked number six
nationally last year in tower div
ing and in addition was 12th from
the low board and 13th from the
high board. Another outstanding
freshman diver is Jeff McDonald
of Holyoke, Massachusetts, the
New England High School chfm
pion and also a high school All
America.
Another All-America is Mike
Slenker of Allentown, Pa., who
won the honor as an otustanding
freestyle sprinter and butterfly
man at Virginia's Fork Union

Captain of this year's freshmen
is another three-year All-America,
Bob McMahon of Fenwick High
School in Chicago. McMahon, like
the others, is rated a prize catch
and one of the best swimmers to
come to the ACC.
ALAN KARA
USC has another outstanding
diving prospect in junior college
transfer Alan Kara, who will be
eligible for the varsity next sea
son. Kara was a two-year JC All
America at Los Angeles Valley Jr.
College and was ranked eighth na
tionally in 1963 by the AAU. Next
year, with Kara, L a n g n e h s,
Laughlin, and McDonald, USC
should have one of the best diving
squads in the country. Carolina's
divers are coached by Mac Mc
Guinnis, former ACC champion at
North Carolina, and one of the
best coaches in the Southeast.

Team, and although they had an
up and down season, the track pic
ture for the spring of 1966 looks
extremely bright in the running
events. USC experienced a de
ficiency of real long-distance run
ners on the team this fall, a situa
tion which was partly solved by
the strong work of sprinters Mike
McGuinness and Bob Taylor. With
the addition of three superb sopho
more distance runners from the
1965 freshman team, the Gamecock
Cross-Country Team looks bright
for the autumn of 1966.

Coach Jack Thompson
Both freshman and v a r s i t y
teams are participating in time
trials almost every Saturday at
noon, and anyone who wants to
get a look at the Gamecock mer
men is welcome.
A WINNER
Says Thompson, "There is tre
mendous spirit on the team. We
know we're going to have a win
ner. It's just a matter of time. Our
big weakness this season is just a
matter of depth, since most col
lege teams have 20 or 30 men. The
first big meet is with North Caro
lina, here, on December 3. We
swim Duke at Durham on Decem
ber 6, and if we get them we'll
have at least a break-even season.
Thompson calls N. C. State,
UNC, and Maryland the teams to
beat, as usual, adding that the
Gamecock aquamen will s w i m
against Georgia Tech, Vanderhilt,
and The Citadel, in addition to all
the ACC squads.

and undoubtedly the sterling long

Ifillgrove grabbed the lead for

covered the hilly first mile in a

lenged in the time of 15:39.
Smith, who held the lead briefly
during the first half-mile, pulled
away from the otherwise tightly
bunched field to an easy second

The fraternity football league
s now in the post-season play-off
tames. Only one of these games
ias been completed, leaving the
'eally decisive games yet to be
>layed. The one game that has
>ei played is tle PiKA-Phi Kap
-ontest staged on Tuesday. Sigma
'hi must still play ATO, and Phi
Kappa Sigma must play Sigma
Mu. The winners of th<se two
,ames will play each othir to de
-ide the Fraternity Champion.
This is the wAay the regular
season vnded % ith each team,
starting xith the first team in
each lea: uv and ending with the
last ph - team, including the
record of each. Sigma Nu took
the eastern division title by win
ning six games and losing none.
Alpha Tau Omega won five and
lost one. Phi Ep took third with
3-2-1. Lambda Chi was fourth
with a 3-3 record. In fifth place
w%as Chi Psi with 2-3-1. Pi Kap
pa Phi won one game and S'PE
didn't win any to take sixth and
seventh places.
In the West. PiKA. Sigma Chi.
And Phi Kappa Sigma were in a
regular season three-way tie for
First. Since Phi Kap defeated
PiKA for the second time, this
ihould he taken into c,onsideration.
SAEK won three and lest three for
;econd (or third i, and then Phi
Delt, 2-4; KA, 1-5; and Kappa
Sig 0-6 finlished up the stardings.
The Phi Kap-PiKA game wa
perhaps the hardest f,)ught fra
ternity game yet. Phi Kap won 26
13 but the game was closer than
the score might suggest. As usual.
quarterback Jeff Stafford looked
good, throwing to Tomi Playver for
two touchdowns, to Bill Freeman
for one and scoring one himself (n
a run. A win like this, is, of course,
a team effort, and, on defense
especially, it is difficult to pick
one or t%o standouts. Joe Bell
and John 1euer did lth>k especially
good for Phi Kap and Al C(ourie
managed to m-se around and smel
out some "giart" plays. For PiKA,
Dennis Reisman keyed the defense,
while end Billy Hill and Quai ter
back Meyers who ran the offense
and threw well all afternoon.
