Impro USC Depth Helps Run *Opponents Two-platoon basketball may be the order of the day when Coach Bob Stevens' deep, fast. Game ock basketball squad takes the floor for games this year. Depth is one of the Birds' pri mary assets this year, with scor ing also to be a strength. With eight letterman returnees, six sophomore prospects, and two red shirts out for the team, Stevens hould have no trouble finding oys to fill out jerseys. The offense should be even more "go-go" than last year, with im proved speed, and effectiveness should increase because the play era will know the plays better and receive more rest. Scoring will probably go up, since three players averaging over ten points per game return, along with assorted freshman dead-eye shots. The Birds will be more difficult to defend against with such balance. Rebounding, a rather vital de partment to the not-so-heighty Gamecocks, should be improved, with the new additions and more respite for the "old guard." Carolina will be no pushover for anyone, and on the right night, could stir up quite a fuss, es pecially in their own back yard.

The Gamecocks look to be a deeper, more experienced outfit than last year's team, with only a few players missing from the first two units. Graduates from an impressive freshman squad will be called upon to plug whatever holes appear in the lineup. "It looks right now as if we're going to have some pretty good depth and seasoning next year," states Bass.

"First of all," he continued, "we don't know what the mortality rate will be academically this year, or just who may be affected by the draft, or who won't be around next year for one reason or another. We'd like to know that the boys who are eligible now will be around next year, but there's always a possibility that some won't." Bass said that he would like to be able to substitute entire units, rather than individuals. If all works out as expected next year, I this may be the case.

Writer Wants Schedule For '62 Campaign BY FRED SCHUMPERT Straying from the subject of bull fighting and flying around the city, Bob Talbert (with the STATE Paper) seems quite upset on the delay of the 1962 Carolina football schedule. Frankly, with the completion of the '61 season only a week old, I can see no reason for such an argument. Other teams are still preparing for conference games and others bowl offers. Why jump into the next season and lose everything you've played for this year? Observing the record that has been made this year with out standing victories, better team moral, better spectator support, and a tremendous change in the student enthusiasm, congratula tions Instead of criticisms should be given to the entire athletic staff. 1CC WF, Duke Favorites For Title Strong squads from Wake For est and Duke will probably repre sent the AC( in national ratings, but improvement on the part of -he rest of the teams will make the Conference nto "easy pickin's" in basketball this year. Standout individuals abound in ,he league this season, with sev eral players being mentioned for All-American h o n o r s. Strong sophomore contingents at almost every school will play a large part in deciding many games. Four returning starters from Wake Forest's defending champ ions make them a prime Confer ence favorite. Enormous Len Chappell, 6-8 and 240 pounds, was the league's top scorer with a 26.6 average last year and is the key to the Deacon's attack with his rebounding and shooting. Guard Billy Packer adds his outside shooting (17.2 ppg) to Chappell's point production to form a potent two-some. Bill Hull, 6-6, and Bob Woollard, 6-10, give the Deacon's additional rebound ing strength, while Dave Wiede man is a fine playmaker and driver. For a team that graduated four starters, )uke will field a very tough quintet that lacks only ex perience. Leading the charge for the Blue Devils will be 6-5 Art Heyman, a shooter par excellance who dumped in 25.2 tallies per game in 1960-61. Sophomore Jeff Mullins is be ing touted as the top newcomer in the Conference. He stands 6-4 and fired at a 24 point rate for the Devil frosh. Another soph, lanky Jay Buckley, 6-10, is cur rently battling for the starting center post with Fred Kast, a 6-7 senior. N. C. State, with all its troubles, still has an ace in the hole in the person of its wiley coach, Everett Case. Hurt by scandal, graduation, and losses from a standout fresh man team,. the Wolfpack will rely on forwards Russ. Marvel, 6-6, and John Punger. 6-4l. to carry the load. Ken Rohloff is State's top re turning scorer with a 12.2 average b)ut he won't be eligible until sec undl semester, so J1on Speaks will be best in the backeourt. Unless either 6-6 Pete Auksel, 6-9 Ron G;ossell. or John Key, 6-8, conme through, the Wolfpack may be lacking in rebounding strength. Maryland plays a slow, well balanced type of offense, but un less the sophomores develop rapid ly, won't cause the leaders too much trouble. Much depends on junior Jerry Greenspan, 6-7, and soph, Scott Ferguson, 6-8. adding points and rebounds to the Terp total. The Terrapins have three scor ers who averayed over 10 ppg last season in the persons of Bill Stas iulatis, Bob Eicher, and Bruce Kelleher, but still lack the good big man so necessary for success in ACC basketball. At North CarolIna, the Tarheels lost their coach and some top notch players. They will he relying an 6-7 Jim Hludock, Jim Donohue, Si-8, for height, while the back ourt will be manned by Donnie Walsh and Larry Brown. Sopho more prospects are Mike Cooke and 6-7 Art Katz. The Clemson Tigers will rely mainly on a fine group of sophs :o bolster their chances for vie :ories. Tom Mahaffey, 6-7, is the nly returning starter, but in lured Choppy Patterson, 19 ppg Last year, may play second semes ter. The frosh quintet contributes shooter Jim Brennan (26 ppg for the first year men), and three boys over 6-7 to help with the re ounding. Five of the top six scorers re urn at Virginia, but the Cavaliers ack both the big man and the shooters to create miuch of a iplash in the ACC. Tony Laquin tano will get his 20 points per gamie, but unless big soph Richard Katstra blossoms into a star, the Virginia boys are in for a long
