After three lean years, Southern Conference track takes a big
step towards returning to its pre-war glory this week-end with the
22nd annual running of the Southern Conference track and field
championships.
Approximately 175 men representing 10 schools will par-
ticipate in the colorful track pageant on Fetzer field today
and tomorrow. The principals involved in running off the
events are enthusiastic about the response to the meet, which
the war had sidelined since 1943.
Herman Schnell, who along with Marvin Allen, is managing the
meet told us yesterday that the meet has been planned to appeal
to the spectators as much as possible. The track will be lined
Blue and White for the first time, and the lanes will be numbered
for the spectators' convenience. A loudspeaker system will keep
the crowd up to date on the results of each event.
Coach Dale Ranson's Carolina team has been returned the
winner in five of the last six years in which the meet was
held. The Tar Heels copped top honors from 1938-43 with
the exception of 1941, when Duke interrupted the sequence. ,
And Duke figures to interrupt once again when the final scores
are tabulated tomorrow afternoon. The Blue Devils have a power
ful aggregation of trackmen who have lost only to Navy in dual
meet competition this spring. The Devils also trimmed Carolina
last week.
However, strange things have happened in past Conference
track meets and the 1946 edition is packed with possibilities. Duke,
Carolina, Maryland, State, VMI, and South Carolina are all send
ing full teams to the meet and William and Mary and Wake Forest
are also sending several entries. Clemson and George Wash
ington will round out the field.
Few records stand in danger of falling over the week-end, but
fans should witness a lot of hard-running boys in some close com
petition. Carolina rates second to Duke's powerful squad, with
Maryland and VMI also figuring, to grab off a few places. The
Tar Heels don't figure to gain too many firsts but if Coach Ran
son's runners can place enough men, they may offer some stiff
opposition to the Devils.
Space prevents a too-detailed account of the entries, but
the following is a hastily-compiled form chart for the track
event of the season: 7
120-yd. high hurdlesSimmons of Carolina leads a field in which
Chambers (State), Taylor (UNC), Radcliffe (USC) and Heggie
(UNC) are the most formidable opponents.
880-ydr run Neighborgall Of Duke should set the pace, with
Simons (Duke), Devlin (Maryland) and Turner and Briley (UNC)
battling it out for the remaining places.
220-yd. run Maxwell and Ausbon of Duke are highly-touted
and should battle it out for top honors with Young (Duke), Hutch
inson (VMI) and Matthews (Maryland) running behind them.
2-mile run Another pair of Devils, Davis and Palmer, are fa
vored, but Kehoe (Maryland) is a man to watch. Lidell (VMI)
and Francis (UNC) are also contenders.
Mile run Burnham of Carolina has dominated this event all
spring, and should place first ahead of Downs (Duke) and Tietjen
(UNC), but again Kehoe (Maryland) will be a threat.
44p-yd. dash Neighborgall figures to cop another first, with
Young (Duke) and Matthews (Maryland) chasing him across the
line.
100-yd. dash Maxwell and Ausbon will fight it out to see who
carries Duke's colors across first with Chewning and Hutchinson
of VMI doing the same thing for the third and fourth spots.
Terrell and Haigler are Tar Heel threats.
High jump Ward and Ausbon could give Duke two more firsts
here, with Heffner and Recap threatening to practically sweep
the event for the Devils. Heggie is the main Carolina man.
javelin Simmons should get another five points with Cheek
(Duke), Mills (VMI), Kozay (Maryland) and Tandy (UNC) be
hind him. - '
Shot O'Leary (Duke) is heavily favored, with Kozay (Mary
land) and Andrews (State) the nearest opposition.
Broad jump Ausbon (Duke) and Matthews (Maryland) should
wage a merry battle with Briley, Simmons and Terrell forming a
Tar Heel triple-threat.
Discus O'Leary back again for Duke, with Kozay (Maryland)
and Andrews (State) still behind him.
220-yd. low hurdles Simmons figures to win over Scupine
(Duke), Chambers (State) and Radcliffe (South Carolina) .

Ready to Meet
State Saturday
In their last meeting two
weeks ago the Blue Devils came
from behind to hand the Tar
Heels a 16-10 defeat. This
was accomplished by sweeping
16 of the 18 points in the last
two foursomes after Graydon
Liles and Ed Ashby had scorched
the fairways to put the Tar
Heels out on front by an 8&-
Y2 margin.
The outcome of today's match
depends on the ability of the
second and third foursomes to
hold their own with the Blue
Devils. Liles, who has been flirt
ing with par in, his recent
matches, and Ashby are expect
ed to give a good account of
themselves in the feature
matches.
Coach Chuck Erickson will
probably use Dan Nyimicz and
Ed Bailey in the No. 2 slot, but

ference title; Maryland, George
Washington, William and Mary,
Clemson, V. M. I., South Caro
lina, Wake Forest, and N. C.
State, in addition to the Tar
Heels and Blue Devils.
Duke brings a well-balanced
team of cindermen to the meet,
with special strength in the
dashes and field events. Doug
Ausbon and Terry Maxwell are
talented dash men, who are not
ed for their final stretch drive.
The Blue Devils have two ex-
i perienced field event men in Jim
O'Leary and Dick Gardinier,
who can double in the shot put
and discus with equal ability.
Sprinter Doug Ausbon can also
be counted on to push Carolina's
Chunk Simmons in the broad
jump.
Carolina will base most of its
hopes on building up points in
the hurdles and middle distances.
Dick Taylor and Chunk Sim
mons can be expected to hold
their own in both the hurdle
events, against any competition.
Tom Turner and Charlie Ti'et
jen are the leading Tar Heels in
