SOUTHERN CONFERENCE
CHAMPIONSHIP MEET
HELD HERE MAY 14-15
(Continued from pag on)
four mile event at the Atlanta Relays,
setting a new record for the distance.
This season, however, the Tar Heels
got a late start due to the late spring
and, facing the hardest schedule ever at
tempted, the Carolina runners will be
kept busy during the next few weeks get-
ling in condition for the opening meets.
The prospects at present are not so
bright foiy although eleven letter men
will be back if their ranks are not de
: pleted by scholastic failures or other
causes, the distance stars that galloped
off with the two longer races all last year
are gone.1 AH of the great four relay
quartet gradated or left school, but there
are several brilliant runners coming up
from the first year squad. . Elliott, Frit
chett and Henderson, stars on the State
Championship cross-country team last
fall, will all be out lor berths on the
mile or two mile, while Daniels, Bodwin
and Lambeth of the 1925 varsity squad,
will also be in the running.
Good Material
Gus McPherson, the Tar Heels' star
sprinter, who has been out for winter
football practice, only began training
- for track this week. He holds the state
record for the hundred yard dash at
9.9 seconds. Giersch, hurdler and sprint-
; er, will be McPherson's running mate
in the dash and in addition is expected to
prove one of the premier performers on
the hurdle squad. In .the quarter, Ed
wards will again be the mainstay -while
. Watts and Hackney, of the varsity
squad, and "Wilkins, freshman star, also
look like good prospects. Captain' Char
lie Jonas, who did around two minutes
in all his races last year, Parker, Rhine
heart and Henley will be back for the
half mile, while Evans, from the fresh
man squad, may also come through.
In the' field events Fordham, in the
weights, Ambrose, in the high jump and
broad jump, Woodard, in the . broad
jump, and Corbett, in the pole vault will
be the nucleus around which the Carolina
mentors will have to build. Ambrose
gets close to 6 feet in the high jump and
around 22 feet in the broad jump.
Fordham gets good distance consistently
in the weight throwing events and New
combe can also throw the weights close
to record distance.
From this summary it can be seen that
although not in the best of condition or
presenting such a favorable aspect at
present, the Tar Heel cinder' path art
tists, under the able supervision of Coach
Bob Fetzer and Assistant Coach Dale
Ransom, should be able to develop into
a formidable contendant for conference
honors before the date of the champion
ship meet.
Maryland Strong
Dope points to Maryland as one of the
possible strongest bidders for honors
this season. The Oldliners, under the
tutelage of Coach H. C. "Curley" Byrd,
have seven letter men back. They are
Captain Endslow, 440 and 880; White
ford, relay and 220; Sheriff, 120 yard
high hurdles, 220 low hurdles, broad
jump, and relay team; Supplee (Captain
of football and basketball teams, All
American end in 1923) jevelin, discuss,
and pole vault;; Ditman, .-, shot . put;
Diebert, pole vault and high jump; and
Hill, two mile. . Captain Endslow is
the most outstanding man on the team,
according to past records, having estab
lished a South Atlantic record of 49 3-5
seconds for the quarter mile and a meet
record of 50 4-5 ' seconds in the South
Atlantic A. A.' U. games. He runs
anchor man on the relay team. In a
meet against Navy last season he made
' the 880 yard dash in one minute 59 3-5
seconds. Pough and Matthews of last
year's freshman team both have records
of 10 1-5 seconds in the 100 yard dash.
Coach Byrd's charges have not been
idle this winter. Their mile Telay'team
composed of Endslow, Matthews, Sheriff,
and Thomas on February 4 at Madison
Spuare Garden, New York, defeated
Dartmouth, University of Pennsylvania,
and Boston College. On February 6 at
Boston A. A. games they defeated Bow
din, the champions of the New England
States, and on February 13, at the Wilco
Games in Brooklyn, N. Y:, they defeated
Columbia, Fordham, New York Uni
versity, and Manhatten. ,
Sewanee', always strong in the cinder
parts sport, has only three letter men to
return to the fold. The supporters of
the Tennessee institution, however, seem
to be rather optimistic over its prospects.
Coach Bennett is said to have a wealth
of material from last year's freshmen
with which to build up his squad. Wil
liams, who is the present captain, runs
the half mile in two minutes while Nash,
southern low hurdle record holder, is
back and expected to run the high hur
dles in 10 or better. Hetney, who placed
in the discus last conference meet, is
the other remaining letter man.
Among the new material Woods is ex
pected to show up strong in the quarter,
while Ferguson and Gooch are being
counted on to place in the high jump
and shot put, respectively. Gibbons,
Guitar, Hammond, Crimvinse, Young,
McClaio, and Sharpe are all mentioned
as possibilities. ; The team is developing
fast and is likely to give somebody
. trouble in the race for Southern honors.
Auburn Strong Last Year
Auburn has five letter men and a large
squad of last year's subs, supplemented
by a good number of freshmen, with
which to begin its 1926 season. The five
letter men are Nelson and Green, sprint
ers (placed second and third in Tech
relays open hundred and third and
fourth in conference hundred; Buskin,
high hurdler and winner of that event
in the conference meet in ' fifteen and
two-fifths seconds; C Morrow and W.
Morrow, two-milers. : Baskin was the
star of last year's team, scoring eighty
one points, competing in high and low
hurdles and discus and javelin.
The Auburn aggregation was excep
tionally strong last season, winning every
dual meet on their schedule. They de
feated Birmingham-Southern 106 to 20;
Georgia Tech, 7i to 41; University of
Georgia, 80 to 32; Tulane 65 to 47. In
addition to this they won the Southern
A. A. U. championship, scoring 47 points.
The University of Virginia, Carolina's
ancient rivals, report the return, of eight
letter men. Irvine, 440; Chlnn, 220 and
440; Walp, javelin; Gleaves, javelin and
discus; Heaser, javelin; Taylor, broad
jump; Cuddy, dashes;, and Risher, half
mile, are the letter men back on the
team. Two outstanding men in the
dashes, Frost and Cummings, are also
back and much is expected from them
during the present season. Cummings
is the outstanding men on the Cavalier
team, being exceptionally fast and the
best dash man Virginia has had in years.
He has run the 100 for the last two
years around 10.
From the standpoint of winning the
Virginia team, was not so' strong last
season, losing two and winning! two.
One of the meets dropped, was only by
a three point margin,, but' the Cavaliers
lost to the Tar Heels by the overwhelm
ing margin of 79 to 47. They are out
for revenge this year, however, and their
part performance on the track shows
that they are capable of putting out
teams second to none.
V. M. L Weak
The V. M. I. Cadets do not appear
especially dangerous as championship
material They suffered a rather disas
terous season last year, winning only
one dual meet out of five, and only four
letter men returned this season. These
four include White, Willis, Diuguld, and
Yates. : . . " -
White, star football and basketball
player, is the captain and outstanding
man on the' team. He is an average
discus thrower but stars in the shot put
Lust year he won this event in every
meet, five dual meets and- the Southern
Conference meet, his mark in the latter
being 43 feet 7 1-4 inches. White was
consistent in bettering 43 feet last year,
and there is a strong possibility of his
breaking the Conference record of 44
feet 10 inches this season. White and
Charlie Foster (last year's captain) hold
three S. C championships, the latter also
holding records in the 100 with 98-10
and in the 220 with 21 and 6-10.
Yates, throwing the javelin for the
first time last year placed first or second
in every dual meet and third in the Con
ference meet with a throw of 178 feet
5 1-4 inches. . Willis, 100 and 200, is a
reliable sprinter capable of doing 10.1 in
the 100 and 22.4 in the 220. Dinguid,
880 and 1 mile, is a steady runner but
not a star in either event.
State In This Year
The three teams that did not enter the
meet last year at Sewanee, (N. C State,
South Carolina and Florida), are ex
pecting to be on hand when the teams
gather on the hill for the annual contest
this year. 1
At State the loss of such outstanding
men as Byrum, Ripple, and Pridgen will
be felt, but with eight letter men back
the West Raleigh Institution should be
able to make a creditable showing. Jack
McDowell, of football and basketball
fame, is the outstanding man on the
team making 6 feet in the high jump
and 25 feet broad jump. Brown, as
captain, will make 'a good quarter miler.
Little is known as to the probable
strength of South Carolina. The Game
cocks have not shown great strength in
track in the past and are' not expected
to prove an important factor in the meet.
They have a real track coach for the first
time this season and are known to have
been spending- time and money on the
development of a team.
Florida Outlook Bright.
The outlook at Florida is much
brighter. Eight letter men. headed by
Captain Connell, hurdle star, are" back
in school. Captain Connell is the holder
of the Cuban. 100 meter hurdle record.
His best time for 120 high hurdles is a
fraction less than 16 seconds.' He enters
both low and high hurdles. Camp, from
the freshman squad, is the- most out
standing candidate for the team. He is
versatile enters 'hurdles,, sprint, and
broad jump. His form on the hurdles
is said to .be perfect and that combined
with his ability to sprint makes him one
of the best. In the Southern A. A. U.
open meet last season, in which. Florida
finished second, Camp won high point
honors competing against-a field includ
ing such men as WelcheL forarer Geor
gia Tech and Olympic star.
Definite information, bat. not been
available' just-yet as -to the strength -of
the remaining Conference teams. The ma
jority of them, however, have already
signified their Intention of entering the
meet and it should be possible to obtain
some idea of their approximate strength
by their showing in, the present regular
season.
