The Qaecocks took five firsts
in gathering a total of 44% points.
The Trps led tke way with 88
points on seven ftro places in this
meet which saw f4*r records fall
and a number of people quaify for
the upcoming NCAA cham
pionships.
Carolina's Bob Kaczka led the
wAy for the Cocks with his record
setting 1:49.6 win in the a8 and his
j7.9 anchor leg of the winning mile
relay. The New Jersey junior was
named the neet's outstanding
athlete for his accemplishments,
beating out other such notables as
Maryland's John Baker. who set a
new record in the mile with a time
of 4:04.2.
In the 880 which broke the record
of Maryland's Dick Smith of 1:49.8
set in 1963, Kaczka once again
relied on his finishing kick as he
burst from third place with 220
yards to go and outdistanced North
Carolina's Kenny Helms and
Duke's Phil Wilson to the tape.
His time of 1:49.6 also gives him
the Carolina school record, erasing
the old mark.
Later Kaczka teamed with
Sammy Gibson, Dickie Harris, and
Allan Hall to win the mile relay in
their best time of the year, 3:14.0,
over favored Duke. After a 47.7
third leg by Harris, Kaczka took
the baton two yards behind the
Duke runner and thrilled the crowd
with a fantastic 47.0 anchor leg to
give the Gamecocks the victory.

the end of the season, came back to
take third in the 220 with a time of
21.6. followed by Hines and Small
who took fourth and fifth with
times of 21.6 and 21.7. The 21.6 time
for Eidson and Hines is a new
school record.
Other Gamecocks who placed in
the meet were: senior Tony
Callander with a tie for fourth in
the high jump at 6-4, and junior
pole vaulter Jim Scott who tied
Larry Szabo of N.C. State for third
with a vault of 14-0.
Ron Rader of the Gamecocks
was barely nipped for fifth place
by Art Cowle of Clemson in the
broad jump, with Rader doing his
lifetime best of 22-5.
This meet also served notice that
the Gamecocks will be back in full
force next year. Only 3' of their
total 44142 points were accounted
for by seniors. Eidson and Small
will be back for strength in the
sprints. Harris will be back for the
sprints and the quarter. Kaczka
will be back for the 880 and mile
relay. Novo will be back in the
hurdles. . .
To go with this, Coach West has
signed three outstanding distance
runners and a high jumper. It
should not be long before the
Gamecocks will be pushing the
Terps for first place.
With their times both Kaczka
and Novo qualify for the NCAA
Championships coming up next
month. The cut off standard for the
high hurdles being 14.0, and 1:50.0
for the 880. Coach West com
mented "It's just a really
tremendous way to end the season.
All'the guys were All the guys*were
psyched for this meet and gave
tremendous performances. It was
also nice to beat Clemson and
North Carolina, our ouly losses in
the conference this year."

I believe that the policemen,

Ant. Sport4 Editr
Vic Laughlin is currently the head diving coach of the
South's best squad here at USC. It is by no accident that
the diving team has blossomed into one of the brightest
spots on the entire swimming squad. But, more than likely,
Laughlin will not be here next year, to the chagrin of many
people connected with him in his soort.
As one diver put it, "It's the worst damn thing that could
happen to the swimming team."
However, the athletic department apparently doesn't
feel this way. According to reliable sources, Laughlin has
been offered a supplementary salary by the University to
tack onto another job that he has to find himself. In other
words, the athtetic department has presented Laughlin the
head diving coach's job on the basis that he runs two jobs
at once.
Now, two jobs isn't too hard for Laughlin to hold down
because he has been holding three jobs since the beginning
of this school year. He has been, besides the diving coach,
a graduate student and a coach on the Columbia Swim
Club. Maybe this wouldn't be too bad if Laughlin was
single, but he isn't. He has a wife and four children.
Laughlin has held down these jobs on the theory that he
would be hired by the athletic department as a fulitime
coach.
Surely his performance merits that right.
In the ACC finals, the divers placed consistently in the
top ten finishes. In the one meter broad, three Carolina
divers finished in the top ten and in the three meter three
finished in the top ten with USC diver John Thoder taking
first. If this is not enough, three out of USC's five divers
went to the heralded NCAA finals.
Reportedly, Laughlin has asked for $8,000 for the job as
head diving coach. He was turned down. But apparently
the talks are still in session, but like the fable Paris peace
negotiations, they seem to be going on to nothingness. All
Laughlin is asking for is a salary to support his wife and
kids. Concerning this issue, Laughlin has said, "I'm not
going to starve for anybody, anymore."
Laughlin has said, if he could have his way, he would
stay here at USC because he loves the school, he has made
his home here. However, he has been offered four other
jobs from colleges as head diving coach with the benefits
of a full time job.
The chief school after Laughlin is the University of
Virginia. They are building a new pool with a good diving
well, plus, Laughlin would have his own office.
Ron Good, head coach at U. Va., has said, "Laughlin is
the kind of coach we want to help build our school intp an
ACC power."
The question here is not only $8,000, which alongside the
$400,000 and $100,000 pools that are being planned, is stark,
but a man's livelihood. He now receives $100 a month from
the athletic department as his salary for diving coach.
Paul Dietzel has stated that he wants to build all our g
sports into conference contenders. This seems to be an
entirely backward approach to a championship in
swimming and diving if the athletic department plans not
to have Laughlin back. Granted, the diving team doesn't ,
make up the entire swim team but, as has been the case for
USC this year, they do play a major role in deciding the
winning or losing of a meet. Time and time again,
Laughlin's divers have lifted the team back into the meet.
With the addition of Alan Gentry, who has a reputation as
being a winner, as head coach, the swim team could be
really what Dietzel has prophesized - a top notch team.
Hopefully, for the good of both the athletic department
and the swimming team, a solution can be worked out for
Laughlin. But, it should be in the form of a full scale, full
paid job as diving coach, and not as a full time occupation
or a part time salary as has been the case for the past year.
