The only real team battle of the afternoon was waged for sec ond place and Presbyterian col lege won that one by outscoring third-place Clemson 33-32. Furman scored IT points, The I Citadel 11 1-2 and Wofford 1 to complete the point totals. Carolina Sophomore Freddie Roberts set a new state record in the 880-yard run by finishing in 1:57:1. He broke his own record set last season at 1:57.5. Tommy Woodlee, Gamecock dash star, was the outstanding man in the meet and received a plaque for being the high point man. He scored 11 1-4 points by taking firsts in the 100- and 220- yaxd dashes and running the first lap in the winning one-mile relay team. In doing so, Woodlee accom plished several aims. He de feated Presbyterian’s fine fresh man nmner, Delane Johnson, in both the 100 and 220 to fcvenge ' losses in those events in the first dual match of the season. Woodlee also tied the 100-yard dash record of 0.7 held jointly by him and Carolina’s Bryant Hutt, a dash star of the mid- 1030’s. In the 100, Woodlee was about five feet ahead of Johnson, who in turn was challenged stqpnglv by Carolina’s Bobby Drawdy, the third place man. The Gamecocks dealt Johnson a double blow in the 120 when Sophomore Sonny ’Wilcher fin ished second behind Woodlee. Woodlee’s time on the 220 was 21.8, just two-tenths of a second over the stale record set by U.

' The Tigers and the Blue Hose were tied at.30-30 after the next- to-thelast event and the hosts had to place ahead of their rivals in the mile relay to gain the one- point margin. , .
