Baskin, Jr., ad ministrative assistant to the director of athletics at USC and former Gamecock head track coach, has been named referee of track events for the 1971 NCAA 'Track and Field Championships scheduled for June 17-19 in Seattle, Wash. The selection of Baskin, a former president of the National Collegiare Track Coaches Association, was announced by Joseph L. Kearney, director of sports programs at the University of Washington, host institution for the 1971 NCAA meet. "We feel that Weems is highly qualified to act as referee of track events. It is an important function in the overall success of the meet," Kearney said. Paul Dietzel, Carolina director of athletics said "we are very honored" by the selection of Baskin. who retired from active -coaching in 1969 after a career spanning more than 40 years. In 20 seasons at USC, Baskin's* teams compiled 90 wins against only 47 losses in dual meet competition. He is a member of the Helms Hall of Fame for Track and Field and a former chairman of the NCAA track and field rules committee. A native of Carrolton, Ga., Baskin is a 1927 graduate of Aithurn University where he was NCAA high hurdles champion his senior year. He was national AAUJ indoor hurdles champion in 1928 and ra~n for the New York Athletic Club for two years. A knee injury prevented him from qualifying for the 1 9221 Olympic games but he was chosen as an alternate and ac companied the U. S. Team to Amsterdam. Haskin was instrumental in the founding of the NCAA indoor meet, run each winter in Detroit, and is also the founder of the Carolina -State-Record Relays, for the last nine years run at Carolina the first Saturday in April. The USC all-weather track is named the Weems Baskin Track in his honor. dais Have ne See Us' Caro1ina golfers off tourney pace 1y GAlRY WEST gifted Lanny Wadkins end Mke Sports Writer Kallam led the leacons to 716-732 Carolina's golf team fell 32 margin over thier nearest com strokes off the lead at the midway petitor.

As expecteda Wake Forest's Eye in the K neyhole (Continued from page 6) rhe Memphis GM then sighted the ruling by Judge Ferguson that left no college player unprotected. ""After the ruling that the four year rule was Invalid, our league took this ruling,, right or wrong,. as the law of the land, be it valid or invalid. After Judge Ferguson's decision, we felt the signing was perfectly legal."t Although Cavagnaro has exercised his right in signing Neumann, he nevertheless feels that if such practices continue, the game may meet a sudden death. "This sort of thing is definitely not favorable. It will ruin the spawning grounds for athletes in all professional sports."' It is become increasingly obvious that perhaps the only way to reach a workable solution for the two leagues to merge. "Had the two leagues been together, we definitely would not have proceeded in this manner," he revealed. rhen, Cavagnaro followed with a comment that exem plifies the feelings among the three organizations. "Im tired of this 'holler than thou' attitude that the NCAA and the N BA are taking. What nobody knows is that Johnny Neumann received two firm offers from the NBA. He got himself legal council, and that makes him a pro. Naturally, the whole thing is being called another renegade trick by the ABA. "'Let's look at this in terms of dollars and cents.
