The basketball Gamecocks run
into their first stiff test of the
infant season tomorrow night in
the Field House when they meet
the Yellow Jackets from Georgia
Tech.
Coach Frank .Johnson's has
keteers go into this game sporting
an 80-point average from their
whitewashings of Citadel and New
berry. However Tech is expected to
be a much more high-powered hall
team than either the Bulldogs or
the Indians.
Although they were thoroughly
trounced by the Parris Island Ma
rines, 90 to 58, in their initial out
ing last week, Coach John Ilyder's
team will be decidedly stronger
than the score indicates. llvder
has three of last year's regulars
plus several good newcomers to
the varsity.
Guard Teeter Umstead, forward
Pete Silas, and center Bill Cline
accounted for 45 points against the
Marines. All three are from last
year's team. Silas was a pre-season
all Southeastern conference choice.
The rest of the starting five will
include Peden Templeton at for
ward and Eric Crake at guard.
Mickey Best, who has been out
of the Gamecock lineup because of
an ailing ankle will make his first
appearance of the season. He prob
ably will start, although - Randy
Coleman and Frank Wright have
been pushing him for the position.
Don Cox, Dwane Morrison and
.John Peterson are sure starters. As
Morrison's running mate, Coach
Frank Johnson must choose be
tween Tom Hofferth and Jack
Wise. Hofferth starred in the Cita
del game and Wise did likewise in
the Newberry runaway.
Going into this game, the home
forces boast an amazing 44.1 field
goal percentage. Captain Cox is the
leader, having dropped eight of his
fifteen attempts for a 53.3 average.
Next in line is Morrison with 46.8.
Morrison is also high scorer having
thrown in 23 against Citadel and
22 against Newberry.
Tomorrow's fray will be the last
one before the Christmas holidays.
The next home game wvill be New
Year's eve wvhen the University of
Pennsylvania will be here. The
Quakers boast one of the powers
of the nation this season. In a
pr-eao poll, a national maga
zine ratedl them 22nd.
Penn will feature one of the out
standing players in the country in
junior pivot man Ernie Beck. Beck,
although only EV'4", was the leading
rebounder of the country in 1951
with an average of 20 per game.
