This week we not only want the
team and the man, but his coach,
too. This guy is co-captain of his
club and, like the university's
Slaughter, he is deadliest as a
scorer from the pivot. His timing
and deceptive body motion have
impressed a number of pre-season
All-America pickers sufficiently to
cause them to place the six-foot
three ace on their pre-season se
lections. His coach says he is the
toughest bucket man in college
basketball.
Hitting for 26 points in three c
consecutive games against top

in four contests.

By RUDY THIOPEN
The Davidson College swimming
team defeated the Gamecocks 47 to
27 Monday afternoon at Charlotte.
This was the first meet of the
season for the Gamecocks.
Coach Jimmy Ratliff was
pleased with his men who took
four out of five first places but
were forced to forfeit several
events because of a short squad.
Jimmy Smith and Doe Lamb
were stars for the Gamecocks by
taking two each of these first
places. Smith took the 220- and
440-yard free style. Lamb came
out first in the diving and 200
yard back stroke.
Ray was top speed man for the
Wildcats by churning the 50-yard
free style in 24.7 sees.
In the Freshman meet both
teams went into the final relay
tied at 23 all. Davidson took the
relay and won the meet 30 to 23.
The Gamecocks opened the Fresh
man meet by winning the Medley
relay in 1 min. 44.5 sees. This relay
team was composed of Donovan,
back stroke; Millard, breast stroke;
and Johnson, free style.
Coach Ratliff is still seeking
more men for the squad and
pointed out that the Gamecock var
sity now has only six men as
compared to 14 used by Davidson.
The next meet will be Saturday,
Jan. 20, when the Gamecocks meet
rhe Citadel Bulldogs in the Uni
versity pool. The Citadel has one
f the e1st teams in the conference
and opened their season by defeat
ing Davidson by a seven-point
margin. With more pra-Aice and
the acquisition of more men the
Lrmecoeka are expected to give
some good competition.

The Citadel, which opened its
season against Davidson this week,
gave that club a hard scrap, and
should be able to make it a little
warm for the Gamecocks. It is to
be noted, however, that a certain
amount of revenge still lurks in
darkest uncharted regions of Caro
lina crania.
Revenge will be the top factor in
Bird incentive against West Vir
ginia's Mountaineers. Glaringly
partisan officiating was reported
when the Johnson-men sustained a
loss to the West Virginians at
Morgantown, and there was much
speculation on the reasons why
the Mountaineers suffer so few de
feats on their home court. In not
suffering oge at the hands of
USC, they handed the Birds their
only conference loss to date.
