S. Olympic team. The three were Tommy Burleson ot N. C^ State, George Adams of Gardner-Webb and George Karf ot North Carolina. All three expressed arthus.asm and excitement over being chosen and said even it they don't make the Olympic team it’s still a great honor just to be chosen to try out. . . « * • • Gardner-Webb has signed one of New York’s top basketball stars, Kenny Henry of Brentwood.High School. Hc\'y won most valuable player honors on the team which won 57 games and lost only 11 over the pas' three years.

Bill Wilhelm, Clemson baseball coach who "poke at the Kings Mountain Rotary Club baseball luiiehton re cently, has seen another one of his products sigt, with the pros. Rupsty Gerhardt, who won 34 games in the ACC over his four-year college career, recently inked a pact with the San Diego Padres of the National League. That makes 21 Tigers who have .signed since Wilhelm took over as coach 15 years ago. Wilhelm has a record of 313 wins and 170 losses and hasn’t experienced a losing season at Clemson. Cherryville's Joe Heavner was the only Southwc.stern Conference player to make the Greensboro Daily Now-s All-State baseball team this year.
