Tankmen Roll Ovei By STEVE LIPE Staff Writer After whipping Wake Forest 63 39 Saturday, the USC swimmers closed their dual meet schedule with a 64-39 thrashing of Clemson to give the Gamecocks a 9-4 sea son's record. Bill Muller swam the 200-yard breaststroke in 2:19.7. "This is the second time Bill has broken the 2:20 mark in this event," said Coach Jack Thompson, "and I believe by the ACC Championship Meet he should do 2:18 or better." Vic Laughlin, the Gamecocks' ace three - meter diver, remained unde feated as he scored 287 points. John Candler, Vic's diving coach, feels that he "should be a double winner on the one-meter and three-meter boards" in the ACC Championship Meet. The Gamecocks s w e p t all 12 events from Clemson Monday with Thompson entering only one person in each event. "I think the team did real well," remarked Thomp son. "It was a very tough pool to swim in." Clemson has one of the few 20 yard pools in the nation. Most pools adapted for collegiate swim ming are of the standard 25-yard length. 'lhis did not hamper the swim mers' efforts, however, as Carolina boasted three double winners. Mike Slenker posted a time of :28.1 in the 60-yard freestyle to set a Clemsont pool record. lie also cap tured the 100-yard freestyle in :52.6. Other double winners for the Eight Teams Attend Annual SAISA Meet The USC Sailing Club attended the fourth annual convention of the South Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association Feb. 11 at Da vidson College.

Thompson announced that sopho more Vic Laughlin and Bill Muller, a junior, were elected as the perma nent co-captains of the team. "It is somewhat unusual," said Thompson, "for the team captains not to be seniors but there are no seniors on our team." The Gamecocks are now concen trating on practice for the ACC Championship to be held in the Carolina Pool Feb. 23-25. "We are doing mostly sprints during prac tice," remarked the coach, "and are seeking more quality and not quantity." Area Si THE GA MECOCK begins this week a three-part look at gridiron pros pects for the 1967 Biddie squad. Special emphasis will be placed on three outstanding recruits in the Columbia area. By DON IIULT Staff Writer Alabama C o a c h Bear Bryant says, "You can't have chicken salad without the chicken," when it comes to building a top-flight foot ball team. In other words, Alabama would not have garnered all its gridiron prestige w i t h o u t the scores of tough, competent players it takes to field a major-college, winning football team. USC Coach Paul Dietzel and his staff are also well aware of this football fact of life from their days at LSU and then at West Point. 'Brilliant Coach' The personable Carolina coach will readily admit that such peo ple as Billy Cannon, Jimmy Taylor and Townsend Clarke "made him a brilliant coach." This was one of the m a i n thoughts on Dietzel's mind when he forned his staff last spring. Coach Dick Weldon was appointed chief coordinator of the recruiting pro gram, to go along with his former duties as baseball coach. Over the summer Weldon set up a schedule whereby each member of the Game cocks' staff would be responsible for attending as many South Caro lina, Georgia and North Carolina high school games as possible t< select and then attempt to recruit the outstanding prospects. Promising Prospect When a promising prospect wa. found, the boy was interviewed and then appraised by such criteria as academic record, natural athletic ability, speed, size, desire to excel and "coachability."

If and when the Carolina coaches were able to re cruit the prospects they wanted in the state, they would then seek out the top prospects in neighboring states, since boys from this region are more apt to finish out their careers at Carolina as opposed tc players from further points whc very often return home after a year or two in Dixie. With these ideas in mind Weldon watched and talked with hundreds of scholastic football players be tween September and December As of now, 37 boys have been en rolled for next fall, and the coaches are still waiting for the college board scores of a few more out standing prospects. Fans in the Columbia area wil be particularly interested in the college careers of three f u t u r e Gamecocks. Diminutive The most diminutive, but ye1 probably the most talked-about, of these three Columbia area greats is placekicker Bill DuPre of A. C Flora High.

His is the same style as tha used by the Gogolak brothers of th< NFL. DuPre's Coach Jim Pinker ton, former Gamecock star of the fifties, noted that "most peoplc erroneously believe that in the soc cer-style placekick the football is hit from the side of the foot; how ever, it is the instep of the foo which strikes the ball in much thi same way as a punt. That is wh: the soccer-style kickers get suel distance." Gogolak Brothers Although the Gogolak brother were the first to introduce the soc cer-style kick, DuPre a c t u a 1 1 ; learned the side-step from Flora assistant coach Warren Montgom ery, who had picked it up whil serving with the Peace Corps ii Thailand. Montgomery's tutoring, DuPre' soccer background, plus hours an, hours of practice in the hot, sum mer sun led to the little booter' proficiency, which in turn brough national recognition in the Sport Illustrated issue of Dec. 5, 1966.
