Gentry iwim r R.v CIIAI,IESENN Sports Writer Swimming coach Alan Gentry has pulled in four swimmers and two coaches to improve the '71-'72 swimming team and keep up with the recruiting competition of other southeast powers. "Chip Newman will be a fine replacement for rrond Williams," said Gentry of one of the first signees. Newman, a sprinter from Avondale Estates, Georgia, where he was state champ is rated eighth in the nation among high schoolers t_ his 21.9 in the 50-yard reestyle. *"We believe Chip will equal Trond in his first year here," said Gentry. Paul Grey, the second signee is a distance freestyle and butterfly swimmer also from Georgia. The Atlanta native was in the Key Club, a speaker, and an outstanding all round student. "He will be a wonderful utility man and a good back up for Jim Villa." said assistant coach John Pitt ington. Bob Cottam is another sprinter from Highpoint, North Carolina. His 22.3 in the 50-yard freestyle is good enough to rank him as twenty-second best in the nation. "He is also a fast backstroker. with probably the greatest sprint peed in the country. He may find self swimming a lot of stroke here,' said Gentry. Mike Hiller, the latest recruit, comes from Ivy League country. He swam the individual medly and backstroke in Philadelphia, STUD DISC4 ARPE IMAY 6 South Hall Tuesday night, A] Barbecued Chicken Cole Slaw Ho Baked Beans Potato Salad Dip elishes Potato Chips gets 4 ecruits Pennsylvania. and took third place in the 24m-yard I.M. in the National Catholics. -Hiller has a heck of a lot of potential in the freestyle," said Gentry, and is one of the finest swimmers in Philadelphia, which is one of the hot spots of swimming on the east coast." Carolina's additional coaches are Richard Harrison and John Cahill. Mike Mayfield, will also t urn coach after diving last season. Harrison, from Ft. Allan naval base is "an outstanding coach with an excellent weight training background as well as swimming ability," said Gentry. Cahill is a coach of five years experience from Georgia, having coached in Maine. "If our recruiting stopped at this point, we would be better than last year with the improvement of our present squad and these recruits. We don't, however, anticipate that our recruiting has stopped. For us to catch those teams such as N.C. State. Florida, and Tennessee, as well as those that are coming up like Miami, Alabama, and Georgia we have to get the best, and our present team has really got to work. "Our recruiting is and will continue to be hampered until we get a better facility," said Gentry of Carolina's less than modern swimming pool. "When we get the new pool. however, our recruiting will be improved tremendously." "We have to resell USC as a swimming school to other schools, coaches, and recruits," said Gentry.

The USC sprint medley and 440 relay teams travelled to Bob Kaczka 4Philadelphia to compete in the ,ough competition of the Penn Eye in the Keyhole (Continued from Page 6) on the agenda was the upcoming football clinic, to be held this Saturday in the Coliseum. Jesse Berry, one of Dietzel's eight assistants, outlined the plans, aided by suggestions from everyone in the room. The question arose as to where illustrations of each play would be shown; either at Carolina Stadium or the Coliseum. It was then decided that the Coliseum floor would be the scene of the illustrations. From there, the day's lineups came up. For the af ternoon scrimmage, four teams would make up the action. Charts hung on the door, broken up into the four squads, offensive and defensive. It was decided that the onf! radical Change would be the insertion of freshmar linebacker Dana Carpenter into the starting defensivo unit. The day's first meeting then adjourned. First Assistant and line coach Bill Shalosky then provec that the line had to be one of the most painstaking positiont on the field. With three of his young pupils, Darrell Austin Jim Burke and Rick Anthony, Shalosky went over dif terent plays, occasionally throwing out questions that eact answered within a five second oeriod. Ihe lecture hall where all this took place resembled a theater of sorts. About ten rows of seats with gare' upholstry and wooden backs gradually sloped down to th tront of the room. Four blackboards faced the seats, bu' projector screens could be rolled down for the purpose c showing films. When Shalosky had finished his instruction, a lunch break followed, then came the scrimmage- the highlight of the day. Dietzel had everything down to the minute. The bus from the Roundhouse would leave at 2: 10, taking seven minutes to arrive at the stadium. Some 80 odd football players, a unit. Intense, possessed by a burning desire to succeed. And they will. Half the battle is won on the football field, the other half in the mind. And the latter seems to be a major casual+y in this controlled war.

Jim Small, Keith Edison and Bob Kaczka upset the heavily favored Villanqva team to carry on in Carolina's winning ways. Villanova had won 17 straight relay events here since 1967 and had dominated the sprint medley event by taking first place the last three years in a row. USC's senior Kaczka overtook Villanova's Chris Manson in the final backstretch to record Carolina 's victory in a time of 3:21. This will be the last time the Gamecocks will have an op portunity to compete in this event as it is not run in dual or cham pionship meets. -We really feel fortunate we could win at Penn Relays," said coach John West. "We have a real good team and went up with the idea we could win if we ran well," he continued. Carolina's Kaczka sprinted his 111 leg of the event in 1:48.5 while ISMal and Eidum beth ra thAr Dick Harris 220's in 21.4. Harris. the ACC champion in the 440, added his 440 leg in a time of 48.5.

"I didn't have to st art out of the blocks and the start was a lot easier," chuckled Small.
