It has been quite some time
since Carolina has had an athlete
willing to vush himself over a
wooden or a metal bar with the
support of a fiberglass pole.
Last year the Gamecock thin
clads found themselves with a loss
in the pole vault before their
meets even got under way.
This year Carolina has no
problems when it comes to pole
vaulting. Coach Weems Bask
in's blessing came in the form
ACC's Success
Is NCAA Games
Perhaps the measure of success
of Atlantic Coast Conference bas
ketball would be best spelled out
by competition of member teams in
the NCAA Championships.
When the ACC was formed in
1953, only one of the teams in
today's conference had been the
eastern champion. North Carolina
claimed that honor in 1949.
During the next 15 years ACC
teams were representedl in the final
roundl of the NCAA Championship
seven times. These teams have com
piled a wvon-lost record of 33-15, a
.G88 clip.
If the ACC Tournament was
add(ed to these figures, the total
would be 48-15, a percentage of
.762, and nobody dloes that well in
the NCAA unless they are UCLA.
Since 1939, ACC teams stand sec
ond in won-loss percentage, having
won 39 while losing 24. Only the
Big Ten comes out with a better
recordl with 59 wins and 28 losses.

of freshman Jim Scott, a cham
pion high school vaulter from
Oklahoma.
Scott, also an excellent gym
nist, said his father was also a
vaulter in high school. "Dad gave
me a metal pole when I was still
in grade school. I was pleased
when I found how high I could go
and started vaulting in high
school."
"Dad was vaulting back in the
'bamboo days' of vaulting. I really
just started learning to vault
when I came to USC. Coach Rob
Brown has helped me a lot," said
Scott.
Learning the use of the fiber
glass pole has come quickly to
the young vaulter. In the
Florida relays he set a personal
high when he vaulted 14'6". He's
now aiming at 15', which would
be a new Carolina record.
"I ought to go over 15' this
year, it seems a good bit closer to
me now." Other vaulters at the
Carolina State-Record Relays as
sented to this fact.
One of the vaulters at the
Florida Relays in Gainesville was
impressed at Scott's abilities,
since he is in his first year of
college competition. "It takes a
good athlete to be able to compete
against boys who have been vault
ing at the college level for two or
three years as freshmen and var
sity comp)etitors. Scott never had
the chance to vault in the frosh
class," he saidl.
Since coming to Carolina,
Scott placed first against Yale,
ninth in Florida against some
of the best, fourth in the State
Record Relays, first at Clem
son, and second against North
Carolina.
And next year Carolina has an
other frosh vaulter coming to
compete for the Gamecocks.

Carolina's baseball Gamecocks,
destined for the role of a spoiler,
will get a chance this weekend as
they travel to Virginia and Mary
land.
Jackie Powers' forces will be up
against the Cavaliers at Char
lottesville today and will take on
powerhouse Maryland at College
Park in a doubleheader tomorrow.
After a loss to the Terps last
weekend, evening their record
at 7-7, Jackie Powers said, "It
looks like we'll have to try and
play a spoiler's role in the con

Clemson
The University of South Caro
lina Rugby Club finally got some
organization to compliment its
personnel on the field, and played
like they'd believed they could in
winning their first game, at the
expense of Clemson, 26-0.
The Gamecocks, who had scored
an average of two points in three
previous games, took blistering re
venge on a Clemson squad that
had routed them 12-0 four weeks
previous.
When organization struck,
everyone got into the act. With
the game scarcely two minutes
old, Tom Scott took a pass from
Sandy Frazier and fifteen yards
later USC had its first score.
Minutes later, Joe O'Shaugh
nessy drew two Clemson backs in
on him for a tackle before passing
off to Bob Brandt, who faked past
three outnumbered Clemson de
fenders for the second score.
Carl Smith's second point
after kick made the score 10-0.
Smith was high scorer with four
out of six kicks for eight points.
Late in the first half, Tom
Scott, again on a play set up by
Sandy Frazier, went eighty-five
yards down the left sideline for
his second score. With Smith's
conversion, the half-time totals
read 15-0, USC.
Second-rower Mark Katz ac
counted for the Gamecocks' first
try in the second half, as he
picked up a loose ball and bulled
his way into the Clemson end
zone from ten yards out, carry
ing a few of the opposition play
ers with him for better balance.
Next Dennis Schwandt made the
fifth score after a scrum on the
two-yard line.
The last tally came on a forty
five yard run, kick, fake, and
gouge-type effort by coach Sandy
Frazier.
When Clemson did get the
ball on a serum, the backs

Maryland coach Jack Johnson
had called the game against the
Gamecocks a "must win," because
of his team's tight race with
Clemson for the ACC champion
ship.
The Gamecocks can do a lot to
shatter the Terrapins' title hopes
in tomorrow's doubleheader.

Buddy Caldwell banged out a

Billy Reitmeler suffered his
third consecutive loss of the sea
son without a win. He worked five
innings and gave up six hits and
two earned runs. Wally Medlin
came in and set down the Terps
on two hits in the last four
frames, giving up only one run.
Things went better for the
Gamecocks earlier in the week
as they held off late Wildcat
rallies for a 5-2 win over David
son.
Joe Land pitched a five hitter
for seven innings to pick up his
second victory of the campaign
against one defeat. Ronnie Evans
