Gamecocks Set New Record In Mile Relay The University of South Carolina lived up to its role of favorite in the state intercollegiate track meet here Saturday, winning with 58*6 points. The Gamecocks set a new one- mile relay^ record of three minctes 22.3 seconds and tied the 100-dash record of 9.7 seconds. No other rec ords were disturbed. ClemsCn, the 1949 champion, fin ished second with 45 points. Next in <•> But how much *“4 ' _ would it cost to REPLACE IT? 0 The average home owner to day carries only 40% enough fire insurance. He’s thinking backward to what his proper ty cost, instead of forward to what it would cost to RE PLACE IT. Face the facts. Your home or place of business (and con tents) may burn tonight. Is your fire insurance big enough to enable you to start to re build and refurnish or restock tomorrow? Quit kidding yourself that you won’t have a fire or that you are fully protected. It’s no fun to be half-ruined. America Fore i •INSUHANCF CROUP • it CLINTON REALTY & INSURANCE CO. B. Hubert Boyd, Agent order were the host Presbyterian Blue Stockings with 28, The Citadel with 15, Wofford with 12*6, and Fur man with 7. South Carolina’s versatile Charlie i McGill took individual scorirfg hon- | ors with 15 points .He won first in | the 120-yard high hurdles (15.4 sec- , onds) and the broad jump (21 feet 7*i inches). | Tommy Woodlee, South Carolina sophomore flash, tied the 100-yard dash record both in trials Friday and finals of the 23rd annual meet on Johnson field. I Woodlee also raced off with the 220-yard dash title in 21.9 seconds, a i scant .3 off the state record. And he j gave the university relay team an approximately 15-yard lead that helped ward off a dramatic last-lap bid by Presbyterian. | The Blue Stockings’ George Flem ing came up fast on the university’s Ray McKenzie in the final lap and trailed by only two or three strides. Cedi Ward and Foyd Spence ran two and three on the winning relay team. South Carolina, took seven first places to Clemson’s three. The vic tory was the eighth for South Caro lina in 23 years’ competition. Clem- son leads with 10 victories; Furman has four and Presbyterian one. To lengthen a child’s dress, face the hem of the dress after letting it out. Add a deebrative tuck to cover the faded, worn bottom of the old hem. If this doesn't make it long enough, add a new hem of contrast ing material. When dresses or blouses rip under neath the arm, cut a dress shield shape, a triangular gusset or an in set panel which goes all the way to the waist. It the patch is a secret, sew in on the inside; otherwise, use on the outside. If pockets have ripped at the cor ners, as they often do, start two in ches down and stitch up the pocket edge. Then go back a few stitches and up again to reinforce the corner thoroughly. When the knees on youngsters’ ov eralls give out, cut kitten or dog faces from bright felt or denim or leather from handbags. Pin, baste and stitch on with matching thread. Underwear that rips at the seams should be sewed immediately or soon the edge will rip so much it becomes a major repair job. Sew into the garment at least two inches so that you get into good material. Pull threads to one side where they can be tied securely to prevent run ning out. Large bed pads which have holes in the center from a lot of use and laundering should be cut down to a small size for a youngsters’ bed. MARK WELL PUNCHMASTER—Foi ticket and other punching.
