Carolina Flashes Tight Defense
To Keep State Men From
Under Basket
Carolina toppled N. C. State in an
important Conference basketball game
in the Field House last Monday night
by a score of 30 to 23
The .Gamecocks began fighting with
speed. and power from the first tip-off,
and never let up during the entire
game. At the half they led by one
point, and after . the intermission the
Birds slowly began to pile up a lead,
which amounted to ten points near
the end of the game, and was reduced
only by desperate long shots that the
Wolfpack let go from the sidelines
and the middle of the floor.
Carolina's defense, a feature which
Coach Petoskey stresses a great deal,
kept the opposing players from under
the basket, and most of State's points
were the result of long shots.
When the second period began,
Carolina caine back stronger than ever,
and began to pull away from the visi
tors, and never lost the lead. N. C.
State seemed to lose the spirit that had
held them even in the first half, and
seemed contented to push shots at
the basket from the middle of the
floor.
