TARHEELS, VIRGINIA,
DUKE AFTER TITLE
Section Appears Strongest in
Dixie Conference Games
Opening Tomorrow.

4 May 19. - South Atlantic
~ track and field men can
be counted on for fine per-
formances in the annual Southern
Conference championship meet in
Atlanta tomorrow and Saturday.
North Carolina, Virginia and
Duke will offer combination of
outstanding performers who will
score as many points, if not more
than any other group of similar
size in the South. And other
teams from this section will enter
men who are going to add to the
point total Of this part of the
Dixie loop.
Carolina, conference indoor track
champions, have won the State cham
pionship for tie twelfth time in a row.
The Tar Heels scored 81 points, just
two less than half of those possible.
Though Duke was a poor second with
40 points. Blue Devil entries distln-
guished themselves in several events.
Virginia was runner-up in the Biz
mingham meet a year ago. But then
tn Cavaliers had their former captain,
Frank Wisnel, who was high point man
in the meet With Wisner watching
from the side the Virginians last Sat-
urday won the Old Dominion State
title from three conference rivals. The
Cavaliers scored 1913 points, their larg-
est in the series which they have won
for four years.
OILY LAUCK, conference indoor
ID and outdoor mile champion, was
another Cavalier who watched the
meet from the stands. Earlier this
Spring Lauck ran the mile in 4:25.2 and
the two miles In 1908 to win both for
Virginia. Since then he has developed
foot injuries that may keep him from
competition in Atlanta, though Coach
Archie Hahn thinks not.
Virginia will be represented in the
tive mile bv Howard Holden, who last
year covered the distance in 1898. He
had Just suffered knee operation In
February and could not compete IN the
indoor games. This injury has pre-
vented him from doing his best in early
races. but last week he ran his race in
lO:037, time that stands with the
best made in the South this year.
Bradsher of Duke has the best time
this season for the half mile. during
the indoor meet, however, Bradsher was
beaten 10 yards by Cary Virginia half
miller, in 2:04. Out of doors Cary has
not been pushed to make his best marx
of 2:O1.5. He is one of the men counted
on to score heavily for the Cavaliers.
THE 44o-yard dash probably belongs
l. to Marland Of North Carolina, who
has a mark of 0:494 for speeding
around the loop last Saturday: This
event is almost sure to go to the Tar
Heels. -,
Carolina will also make strong bid
in the sprints, though here the compe,
tition is much keener. With the wlno
aft his back, Farmer, Tar Heel dash star
covered the 100 in 9.8 seconds, and the
300 in 81 seconds fiat. The same day al
Virginia the century was won Tor the
Cavaliers by Abramson in 9.9. But ne |
lost the 220 In slow time.
Stockwell of Louisiana State and
Owens of Georgia also have recoros tnlS
season of 98 seconds for the snorter
sprint. Burnett of MISSISSIPPI, one OF
tie South's best. has done the 1urlong
in 21.2. while Stockwen has time Oh
2l4 for this race. .,
close competition, and the heats IN
these events are going to be as exclt-
ing as the finals. In the l2O-yard hlgn
hurdles Moreau of Louisiana State, DE
Colipne of Tulane, Bask1n ana RlcKey
of Auburn and Capt. Bryan OF VIZ
einia must all be considered.
TN THE 22O low hurdles Browniee OF
Duke has a time of 233 with the
wind giving him aid. Wanger OF
" M. l., Antrim of Virginia ana
Slusser of North Carolina, as well as
others already mentioned, must oe
counted in until they have been ellrnl-
Field events are going to be Just as
interesting as those on the clnders.
And mere there is considerable hken-
hood that old records may be battered
down if Georgia's sun smiles on the
contestants.
Newton of Vanderbilt has an edge
on the high Jump, as has Zimmerman
Of Tulane on the broad jump. South
Atlantic teams should pick up points IN
these events, but they can't be expected
to come through as winners.
Odeu of Clemson Reigels OF Alabama
and Zimmerman Of Tulane have all
vaulted more than l3 feet. The YER
satile GREENE is the likely winner In
this event. but Wyllie of Virginia,
Sharpe Of Duke and Duncan OF WASH
ington and Lee will be pushing with
their poles.
TIM SWART of Virginia Tech has
bettered the shotput record by
inches, with a heave of At feet 6l2
inches. But an arm injury has almost
put the big V. P. I. entry out OF com
petition. Recently he was defeated by
two Virginia men, George Coles at F6
feet 21a inches and Herbert Bryant at
As feet 914 inches.
Beard of Auburn has spun the dis
clss 144 feet 212 inches almost feet
beyond the present record. North Car
ollna's Brown has also bettered the OLD
mark with a toss of 1873 feet Il inches,
while Virginia's Bryant, who was sec
ond in Birmingham last year. has come
within few inches of the Dixie record.
The conference can hardly produce
tavelin throw who can distance the 2O8
feet made by lie Gore Of Carolina
against Navy lie Gore is having trou-
BILE repeating, and the last was 1877 feet
9 inches. Bachelor of Georgia has
thrown beyond the present mark, which
Is 1873 feet 8l4 inches
Dukes mile relay team Of Hicks,
Brownlee, Brsdsher and Fulmer covered
the four laps in 3:22.4. which is good
time and may win in Atlanta. North
Carolina was close behind. In the Vlr-
gina meet V. NJ. l. won in 3:29-5, using
Ffnlayson, Milton, Rutschow and Wall
ford. Virginia's team finished second
