USC's 440 relay team has not lost in a dual meet this year, but Georgia has a better time, 41.0 to 41.3, and it should be a fast race. The Gamecocks have not lost a mile relay in dual meets, either, and if the meet goes down to the last event USC should be in good shape. Milton Reid and Jim Small should finish in their familiar role of 1-2 in the 220, but Georgia has a 9.5 100 man. Bob Dempsey may have a tough time winning the 440 since the Bulldogs have a 47.6 best, compared to Dempsey's 48.3. Billy Novo and Joe McCulloch could take first and third in the high hurdles, and may be able to get the first two intermediate hurdle spots. In the distances Jack Miller, 9.12 in the two-mile, is running better than ever and Rod Dalton is always good for a place in the steeplechase. With their winning streak on the line and the "Day of the Gamecock" spirit in the air, USC will be up psychologically and they may need the extra edge to slip by their stiffest test of the year.
