The second place finish in what may be the nation's strong est swimming conference could be only the first step along the way to a first place finish next year. Eighth ranked N. C. State loses practically everyone except Coach Willys Casey. UNC and Maryland are already in deep trouble due to lack of personnel. The Gamecocks will return with such standquts as Trond Williams, Mike Slenker, Covie Stanwick, Jim Weinzettel, and others who may prove them selves this weekend. Combes has already predicted how his team will perform this weekend, but he points out that there are certain factors which cannot be counted. "These fellows are really fired up," said Combes. "They remember how close we came to beating both Maryland and UNC. We should get about 410 points with N. C. State pulling 480, and North Carolina getting 380." The young coach went on to say that he expected close to 100 points from the divers alone. Ask Combes how his divers are and he will simply smile and look toward the other end of the pool where John Candler. past world's professional d i v i n g 4 AIA Staff Photo by Elliott Borenstein uning Dive At GRA NEW SPRIl AND SPOI by P.I Stripes - Checks - Wide Selectic from $12.00 BAN-LONS -N~ TURTLE One-Third 4 A LPA GRAY| 1313 MaIn Street Style Hadqa, Being Por AC4 champion, puts the Carolina divers through their paces.

Intramurv With ChI fy SUSAN TANNER Staff Writer The wrap-up of the third week of men's intramurals basketball saw several new leaders of the pack and a few familiar faces. Monday night's openers found Zone 12 crushing Zone 19 (N 5-7) 70-29 in Peabody Gym with Ball tiste doing the honors for Zone 19 with 40 points. That evening Zone 17 (M 1-4) won by forfeit over Zone 5 (Wood row and Burney). Zone 21 tilted Zone 7 (L Preston) 51-41. It was Rushing who gained 12 for Zone 21.

In contrast to Laughlin's experi ence is the flamboyant enthusiasm of freshman John Thoder. Thoder presents substantial credentials of his own. He was Prep School All America and has, on occasion, beaten Laughlin in competition. While definitely contributing to the USC cause, Chic Lang nehs has not recovered suffi ciently from his shoulder injury to regain top form. Laugnehs was second in diving in the ACC his sophomore year and did not compete last year. He figures as a sure third in a possi ble Carolina sweep of the diving. Freshman Jack Moffatt has to get the determination award for the year. Moffatt has improved to the point that he may finish as high as fourth if the right breaks fall his way. No matter what order they fin ish, the USC divers will be sure to lead the way as the Fighting Game cocks battle for recognition in a conference too long dominated by others.
