One of the busiest men at the
Carolina S Ra:e - Record Relays
Saturday was Bully Farr. Every
race started with the pull of the
trigger on Iiis long - harreled
pistol.
Farr is one of the best start
ers in the husiness and one of
the most experienced. All but
a few home USC -rack mee:s
for the past :31 years have been
started with his "Take your

The excepti,)n caie "when I had

The Atlantic Coast Conference
was founded I I years ago and

By JAY BENDER
Staff Writer
Last Saturday's fifth annual
running of the Carolina State
Record R e I a y s under ideal
weather conditions was an all
out assault on the record books
as eight marks fell in the Uni
versity Division competition.
The winners in seven events
set records that eclipsed both
the Relays record and the Rex
Enright Athletic Center track
record.
USC trackmen claimed records
in two events. The first record
came in an exciting Sprint Med
ley Relay. In this event the
lead man runs a 4.10, the next
two run 220's, and the anchor
man runs an 880.
The first three legs for USC
were run by Eddie Sonnenfeld,
Bob Harris and Bob Turner.
When Turner passed the baton
to Mike Eidson the Gamecocks
were in sixth place. Eidson
quickly made un some distance,
but at the beginning of the final
stretch he was in third position.
Coming off the turn the first
two men went a little wide and
Eidson performed a rare track
feat and passed them both on
the inside to secure the victory.
The time of 3:23.8 erased the
old mark of 3:27.2 set in 1964
by another USC team.

Eidson's 880 time was 1:50.0,
which coupled with a 1:51.0 leg
in the winning Distance Medley
