Durham, N. C. (Special.)--Car
olina Gamecocks were eliminated
from the Southern Conference
basketball tournament in the first
round Wednesday night by a re
vengeful, Duke outfit, 68-48.
Cy Szakacsi started the Birds
off to an early 4-0 lead with two
quick baskets, but the Blue Devils
came back to take the lead which
they held except for a few min
utes early in the second half.
After Duke pulled into a com
fortable ten point lead, Szakacsi
again found the range to spark a
Carolina rally that cut the Duke
lead to 32-30 at halftime.
As the second half started, Car
olina took a 34-32 lead before
Duke again spurted to go ahead
to stay. Center Jimmy Slaughter
was a big factor in the Gamecock
threat with a dead eye from the
free-throw line. He hit six out
of seven foul shots and added
threepfield goals to lead the scor
ing for Carolina with 12 points.
Henry Martin and Szakaesi had
11 each, Szakacsi getting nine of
his in the first half.
Adams, Slaughter and Trewhella
fouled out early in the second
half. This apparently broke up the
Carolina offensive and Duke
turned tlhe game into a near
walkaway in the closing minutes.
Slaughter was a scoring threat
while he was in, but he, too, had
trouble with the eager officials.

The most popular decision of the
night was novice James "Red" dt
Douglas' victory over Clemson's
Roy Lawson in the 165-pound di- al
vision. Douglas was several inches
shorter and pounds lighter than
Lawson, his first collegiate rig
opponent.
A shock of hair hanging in
Douglas' eyes worried him in the
first round, and a round of ap
plause was brought by Carolina
Coach Jess Alderman who took
his scissors and clipped the sur
plus hair between the first and
second rounds.
