USC Sprint
Offensive Line Is Di
Midway through Carolina's spring football practice the em
phasis is on youth as the coaching staff looks over a group of
youngsters in search of replacements for four starting offensive
linemen lost through gradbation.
Coach Paul Dietzel and his staff's first priority when spring
drills opened was to find replacements for Darrell Austin at
center, Rick Anthony at left guard, Dave Cash at right tackle,
and Marty Woolbright at tight end.
Mike McCabe, a strapping (6-5, 224) junior from Knoxville,
who started several games at left guard last year when An
thony was injured, is the most experienced offensive lineman
available. He has been switched to center where he is presently
working ahead of junior Dwight Efird, who lettered last year as
a reserve.
Senior Jerry Witherspoon, one of two starting linemen
returning, presently is hampered by a bad ankle and Joe Smith,
a junior non-letterman, is holding down the right guard spot.
Witherspoon is expected to return to action before "Cockfight
'74", the annual intra-squad game that will climax spring
practice April 27.
Brad Kline, a junior who lettered as a reserve last fall, is
presently the starting left guard, backed up by Bruce Hoffman,
a sophomore who earned a letter last fall as a freshman
linebacker.

Carolina
Has Meet
In Texas
Carolina's track team will be
included in an outstanding field of
talent Friday and Saturday at the
Texas Relays in Austin.
Powers from the Southwestern,
Southeastern and Big Eight
Conferences will also be present at
Texas Memorial Stadium for the
two-day affair featuring some of
the best collegiate track athletes in
the country.
Carolina track coach Bill Mc
Clure will be taking his three relay
teams - the two mile, distance
medley and mile - , plus hurdler
Bernie Allen and two field event
participants, Tom Chapman in the
javelin and Buck Thompson in the
discus.
"We'll be going up against some
of the top athletes in the nation and
to be realistic our two mile relay
team has the best chance of our
group to get a win," said McClure.
"Bernie has the capabilities to get
at least third in the high hurdles
and I expect both Chapman and
Thompson to turn in personal
bests in their events."
"The stiffest competition in the
relays should come from Kansas
State and Oklahoma State and also
Texas. We could go out there and
give our best performances of the
season and have nothing to show
for it."
The two-mile relay team claimed
a first place finish in the NCAA
Indoor Championships last nnnth
with a time of 7:27.1. Don Brown, a
senior from Charlotte, N. C., will
lead off for the Gamecocks,
followed by junior Jim Schaper,
junior Mike Sheley and sophomore
John Brown.
Sehaper, the Gamecocks' ace
middle distance runner who has
been below par recently due to a
bladder infection, is expected to be
at full strength for this weekend.
The distance medley team will
be comprised of Don Brown,
running an 880; Milton Reid
following with a 440; John Brown
running a three-quarter mile; and
Schaper anchoring with the mile.
The mile relay team of Sheley,
Paul McLeod, Keith Norvel and
Reid has recorded a best time of
3:12.8 this season. Allen, a highly
regarded freshman from
Harrisburg, Pa., has run a 13.8 for
the 120 yard high hurdles; Chap
man has thrown the javelin 226-6
and Thompson's best toss in the
discus has been 172-4.
Trials and finals in the distance
medley, javelin and discus will be
Friday,while the finals in the two
mile relay, mile relay and high
hurdles will be Saturday.
Texas Memorial Stadium is also
the site of the NCAA Chamipon
ships this season June 6-8.
