By The Way
(Continued from Page 7)
This board met for two years to mediate the dispute
between the major governing bodies of track and field in
the U. S., but they ignored the crux of the problem and
arbitrarily ruled in favor of the AAU on almost all disputed
points.
The desirable end would be a third organization to
administer U. S. track and field competition. However,
the Sports Arbitration Board failed to establish this
new body and in fact they failed to do anything that
would insure that the U.S. always sent its strongest
team to international meets.
The NCAA and the USTFF represent 90 per cent of the
track and field interests in the U. S., but the Board accused
these organizations of trying to grab power even though the
NCAA and the USTFF have gone on record ". . . in favor
of a single-purpose, all-embracing track and field adminis
tration."
The AAU wants the position of "sole governing body
for domestic track and field" even though such power is
nowhere granted to them. To enforce their position they
have: placed embargos on record performances in non-AAU
competition, barred athletes from foreign competition and
they have barred amateur athletes from television appear
ances unless the AAU received a fee.
A moritorium has been called until November 1, 1968 so
the U. S. can send its strongest team to the Olympics. This
is a usual Olympic-year stopgap measure and it does not
assure that future track and field competition will be run
for the athletes and not for private promoters and officials.
South Carolina Senator Ernest F. Hollings is a mem
ber of the commerce committee and all persons who be
lieve'that the colleges and high schools represented by
the USTFF and the NCAA deserve a voice in the regula
tion of track and field competition should write to him
and express this view.
A committee of coaches and athletic directors in this
state is being formed to communicate this desire to Senator
Hollings. Letters from private citizens will reinforce their
Wstatements.

NEW YORK - Veteran baseball
front office executive Bill Veeck,
unveiling his proposal for a sweep
ing realignment of the major
leagues, submits a plan that places
the New York Yankees and New
York Mets together in one division,
Rookies
Remember
Jimbo Smith beat The Citadel
with a five hitter Tuesday, backed
up by 11 Gamecock hits.
Every rookie pitcher remembers
his first wins but South Carolina's
Smith will never forget the day he
won his first two varsity games,
beating Duke in both ends of an
Atlantic Coast Conference baseball
doubleheader.
Coach Jackie Powers won't for
get either, for he may have found
the "stopper" needed to convert
the Gamecocks from a struggling
aggregation into a winner. Prior to
the 7-6 and 6-0 wins over Duke,
South Carolina had received spotty
pitching and very occasional hitting
The doubleheader of two seven
inning games started out like more
Df the same with the Gamecocks
trailing 6-0 when Smith was called
in from the bullpen with one out
in the fifth of the opener. He set
Duke down with one hit over the
final 2 1/3 innings.
Powers was so impressed with
his 19-year-old Charleston, sopho
more that he started Jimbo in the
second game. Smith responded by
shutting out the Blue Devils on two
hits, although he needed help from
reliefer Wally Medlin in the
seventh, to post his second win of
the day and second of his career.
"Jimbo really blossomed for us
and gave us a big lift when we
needed it," Powers said. "I believe
we have a place for him in the
pitching rotation."

Diving Coach John Candler, quali
fied by placing in the top twelve
in competition in the National AAU
Indoor D i v i n g Championships.
Norma Chandler, a high a c h o o I
junior from Virginia who is also
coached by Candler, qualified for
the trials as well.
Miss Tomberg, a freshman who
holds the Plorida state champion
ship for the one meter spring
board, placed twelfth in the AAU
finals on the ten meter platform.
"She was in fifth place until her
last dive, which was a new one she
was unfamiliar with," said Coach
Candler. "With a little luck she
could just as easily have been
fifth."
"Debbie looks awfully impressive
on the ten meter platform," Can
dier added. "She's only a 'peanut,'
not quite five feet tall."
Laughlin, an Al-Navy and All
American diver from Iowa, finished
twelfth on the platform after pre
qualifying in sixth place. "Vic
blew his last dive like Debbie,"
Candler said.

will have another chance to qualify
for the Olympic trials at the AAU
Outdoor Championships early this
summer. He said two other Caro
lina divers, David Gaidzik and John
Thoder, had good chances of quali
fying there.
But so far, these two are the only
C a r o l i n a athletes to make the
Olympic trials," C o a c h Candler
added.
The top twelve finishers in both
the indoor and outdoor AAU cham
pionships earn the right to compete
in the Olympic trials, but Candler
pointed out that many of the win
ners will qualify in both, reducing
the number at the trials in each
event to "not more than twenty."
The top three finishers at the
trials will become eligible for an
Olympic berth.
Candler seems optimistic for suc
cess at the trials. "Diving is the
sort of game where if you're on one
day, then you win," Candler said.
"I'm proud of Vic and Debbie for
getting this far, and hope they can
go all the way."
