Twenty Two Track Teams Ready
For Southern Relay Carnival
.... * «
By EDDIE BRIETZ
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
BIRMINGHAM. May 11.—(Ah—The
southern conference track and field
carnival in municipal stadium here,
May 17-18, gives promise of develop
ing into a three-cornered fight be
tween North Carolina, Louisiana
and Florida.
University of Georgia and Van
derbilt stand out as the darkest of
a flock of dark horses.
Louisiana State, with its two aces
—Brown on the track and Nesom in
the field events—won last year's
meet with Georgia Tech second and
Auburn third.
This year's team is fully as strong
as the championship outfit of last
year and L. 8. U. is expected to
show plenty of class In half-mile,
mile, two-mile, hurdles and all the
weight events.
Sickness and faculty rulings
played havoc with the Georgia
Tech team and Hamm, the Olympic
star, and half dozen other lumi
naries are gone.
North Carolina is entering the
same distance men who made such
a good showing in the Penn relays
last year and the Tarheels are gun
nuing for honors in the mile, two
mile. half, and quarter, and also in
the discus and pole vault events.
Auburn is entering Beard, the
hurle expert, and if they take these
events from Auburn they must be
good.
Florida is said to be paticularly
strong in the sprints and must be
watched in hurdles and in the re
lay race.
Georgia has Young, a great run
ner. and Anderson, field man. An
derson has been shattering records
In state and other events, in shot
put. discus and javelin contests, but
will get a wealth of opposition in
the blonde giant from L. 8. U., Guy
Nesom.
Vanderbilt's chances lie in the
sprints, relay race, mile and two
mile.
Everyone of the 22 schools in the
conference is erpected to enter
teams.
