TRADITIONAL SIGNET N GAMECOCK SIGNET STONE TYPE In ACC track championship Terps Nip Carolina By CHARLIE SENN Sports Writer Maryland and USC turned the ACC championship meet into a dual affair Saturday night with Maryland out distancing the Gamecocks by five points on the strength of its dominance in the field events. The Gamecocks' balanced attack on the field and track was no match for the Terps' presence in the field. Maryland piled up 56 points in that area to catch Carolina in the stretch and established a solid lead with two events remaining. The Terps swept all five places in the pole vault to grab 16 points. In the javelin and discus they scored 11 points each and got eight points in both the high jump and shot put. Four ACC records were recorded in the finals. Maryland performers Jack Hanley and Jim Williamson set records of 58-11 in the shot put. and 15-9 in the pole vault, respectively. Duke's Roger Beardmore won the 3,000 meter steeplechase with an ACC record 9:01.7. Bob Wheeler of Duke was the meets outstanding athlete. He set an ACC record of 4:02.7 in the mile run and tied the 880 record of 1:48.2. Trailing the Terps' 71 and Carolina's 66 points were Duke with 41, North Carolina with 40, Clemson and N.C. State with 24 and 16, respectively. The Terps' complete dominance of the ACC in track and field has now stretched to sixteen years. Maryland has won 17 of the 18 ACC championships in the conference's existence. Carolina's chances to upset the Maryland dynasty rested on its power on the track. The Gamecocks captured both relays, the high hurdles, and had a strong one two punch In the 220-yard dash. Jim Small, Dickie Harris, Mike Haggard, and Keith Eidson claimed the 440-yard relay at :41.7. Harris, Bob Dempsey, Jim Schaper, and Bob Kaczka won the mile relay with a time of 3:15.8. Billy Novo claimed the high hurdles with 14.1. He was aided by the absence of Duke's Jeff Howser. in the 220 ELdsun and Small took first and second place. Eidson won though both ran the course in 22.4. The Gamecocks placed 16 of their members in the finals--two more than Maryland's 14--but captured only four first places to Maryland's five.
