TageJ. THE TAR HEEL Tuesday, March 23, Jftjg 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.
