Of Duke Is Top Star
By the Asseeioied Press

OOH1AM, ~, May 10
Maryland's well-balanced track
team piled up 5812 points to win
its third straight Southern Con-
ference outdoor title today.
In contrast to its victory last
year. when it won only one in
dividual first, Maryland took five
f1rStS and tied for another today.
Dave Matthews, slim Terrapin
dash star, was the standout on
the squad. He won the 100-yard
dash in 80 seconds and also took
the 220 in 21.4 seconds. The lat
ter was slightly better than his
previous best of the season.
Other firSts for Maryland were
turned in by Jim Pentzer in the
440. Ken Thornton in the $50
and the mile relay team COM
posed of Thornton, Pentzer, Phil
Stroup and Burke Wilson.
Mel Schwarz also added points
for the TerpS by tying Joel
Shankle of Duke in the pole
vault with a leap of 13 feet-a
healthy gain over his previous
best of IL feet 4 inches.
1852 Finish Duplicated.
In point-scoring, the first five
schools finished in the same Or
der of a year ago: Duke again
took second honors with 411a
points. nosing out third-place
North Carolina, which picked up
4034 points.
Back of the first three were
VPI, 2714; VNdI, IA: South Car
olina, 1919; North Carolina State,
ga; West Virginia, 8; Richmond,
SIS; Clemson, Az; Davidson, 2;
Furman. 2; Washington and Lee,
112.
The only record broken was
in the shot-put, with Durham
Lawshe of Duke tossing the shot
SO feet 8A inches. The old rec
ord was so feet Z inches, set
five years ago by Jim O'Leary
Of Duke.
Shankle Scores % Points.
Dukes runnerup showing was
due to the sensational work of
Shankle, sophomore, who piled
up % points. He won the broad
jump and the 120-yard high hur-
dies, tied for first in the high
Jump and pole vault and fin
ished second in the 220-yard low
hurdles.
Shankle didn't have to per-
form in the broad Jump today as
his leap of % feet pa inches
yesterday stood up for a first
place medal.
But he still was the busiest
athlete in Duke Stadium as the
17-member conference staged
what probably was its last meet
before the recently announced
split goes into effect.
Misses Out in 22O Hurdles.
While alternating between the
high Jump and the pole vault,
Shankle had to take time out to
run the 220-yard low hurdles. |
Here he met his only defeat.
Johnny Mapp, brilliant VMI
speedster, turned him back
rather handily in the good time
of 23.3 seconds. =
In the pole vault, which
Shankle took up only this year,
he and Schwarz tied at 13 feetgl
after failing in an attempt to
beat the 25-year-old record of
1873.
Coach Jim Jehoe's MARYLAND
charges avenged Winter-meet
setback at the hands of Duke
by charging into the lead in the
f1rst five events and continuing
to pick up valuable points there
after.
