Jnch of ~ Spade By JOHN DAVID SPADE Asst. Sports Editor (Editor's Notc: Meet our new assistant sports editor, John Darid Spade. Not that John is really, 11eC' to The Game cock, this is his third iear on the staf| as a sports irriter and nees irriter. Last reekend he traveled with the track team to the Florida relays in his nli capacity.) This is an Olympic year. The competition is always sharp at the big meets. Richmond Flowers was there to tune up for Mexico City. I sat in my seat and laughed with the team as Bobby Howe told one of his unbelievable stories about Charleston. I wondered how many Carolina students knew Bobby's name, or knew that a senior named Mike Eidson was captain of the USC track team, or knew that senior Jim Wingo was hIs co-captain. Jim Ryun, the great mile runner, was supposed to have come to Gainesville during the Florida Relays, but a pulled hamstring kept him back in Kansas. I began to ask myself how many Carolina studeits had ever seen a USC track meet. How many cared that 11 boys had set individual high marks in Florida while everyone was having fun at the Carolina Cup? illow many cared that five Carolina records had been equaled or broken ? Flowers' coach, Chuck Rohe, says that Flowers won't get his speed up till mid-May. lie looked ahead of schedule as he took the high hurdles in 13.6, but then it's an Olympic year. Two weeks ago CSC ran against Yale behind the Round house. There were more athletes on the field than Carolina students in the stands. In the Relays, Algie Sims beat out Clemson in the distance medley. Walking across the Florida campus he told me there was no measure as to how much better the team could do if they had good support from the stu (lent body. "I just know I could run faster and put out more if I had someone urging me on." The track team is lacking only one man. That is the man who just has to sit down and yell or stand up and scream. If he does this, he can say, "We won a good meet," or "We put up a good fight." [Hit tuntil the student body recognizes that the trackmen are Gamecocks, they (ln't deserve such a fine team and (oacn. The State-Record Relays are tomorrow. There will be 26 teams cvmpeting here in Columbia. -Sonie excellent ath letes won't place because there will be so many good ones. This is an Olympic year, but there won't be allv Game cocks in Mexico City. There may never be any (amecocks in the ()lympics unless they come up with that man who will sit in the stands anid show some spirit. Will they have that man tomorrow?

The Gamecock mentor said, "Los ing Bobby is a terrific blow to our team. We'll not only miss his vatching, but he's also a fine leader, the kind you hope to find to exert the kind of leadership you need for a young squad." Mauro was chasing a foul ball iuring the seventh inning of the r-st Virginia game when he 1macked his knee into the con -rete wall behind home plate. It was in that inning that Carolina also lost the ball game. The score was knotted 1-1 when the Cavaliers came to hat. Then started what proved to be ai long day for the Gamecocks.
