GAMECOC Purple Five Spoils Birds' Clean Record FURMAN TRIUMPHS 33 - 27 Gamecocks Take Early Lead But Hornets Coape Back to Win Furman's ":jinx" held good Tuesday night. Carolina couldn't keep a ten point lead, and the Purple Hurricane emerged winner, 33 to 27. From a Gamecock standpoint, it was an ex tremely disappointing contest. For the first ten minutes, Carolina played rings around their Baptist opponents, and at one time the score was 13 to 3, in the University five's favor. "Hinie" Fair was in perfect shooting form. He made almost half of Caro lina's total score, 12 points being ac credited to him. The ball was continu ally "fed" to him, and his side shots were deadly. It remained for Funderburke, giant substitute, to turn the tide of battle away from the larger school. Furman started on the uphill grade, and with the aid of Funderburke's field goals, were only three points behind when the whistle blew for the end of the half. Many Fouls Carolina virtually lost on account of giving so many free counters to the visitors. All of the purple clad men were adepts at foul-goal shooting and rarely missed an opportunity to build up their score in this way. Gamecock hopes were considerably dampened when Captain "Si" Seideman had to leave the floor. Seideman play ed a fine game up until the time his knee was injured. Late in the first half, he was hurt so badly he had to be taken out. He started again in the second period, but was later ejected from the game. Was Bitter Fight Furman-Carolina games are always full of fight. This one was no excep tion. The last 5 minutes were fast and fur ious. With O.Furman leading 25-14, the Gamecocks attempteda desperate come back. Billy Lamar and White went in. Lamar and Fair both, caged beautiful baskets, and for a time it appeared that they really would overcome the Hor net's advantage. But Gibson, Dorman, and Funderburke shot field goals and Dorman converted a two foul shots in to scores. Funderburke and Dorman both play ed nice games for Furman. Gibson's dribbling was a feature. In the first half the Carolina passing was perfect. Seideman, Fair and Clark played consistent ball.
