Boxers Held Toi Gurney, Spann By TOMMIE HERBERT (Ed. Note: Here's a picture of the Carolina boxing team charm ingly presented by the Gamecock campus editor, Tommie Herbert, which covers the sport of boxing from the feminine, viewpoint. Now if we can only write up a KD tea this well we may have a revolution on the Gamecock staff.) The Gamecock boxing team, coached by Jess Alderman, met Miami at home last week. The team displayed its pugilistic ability in the 4-4 draw with the Miami mitt men. The Gamecocks had to forfeit the heavyweight match. There were no knockouts. Allen George in the first match lost a most unpopular decision to Mickey Demos in the 125-pound class. Mickey Demos is one of the mainstays of the Miami team, and lost only one dual meet match last year. This decision was George's first loss of the season. Pinckney Watson in the 132 pound class was decisioned by Archie Slaten. Watson moved with lightning swiftness but was not able to last at the speed he set. This is Watson's first season with the Gamecocks. Chuck Davis met and decisioned Don Zetnick in the 139-pound match. Davis put an air of tension to this match by being floored in the opening round. Davis went through the remainder of the match with flying colors. Emmett Gurney, Gamecock cap tain, had a decisive victory over liill Yoham in the 147-pound fight. (;urney felt his opponent out and obviously discovered his weak nesses. He flew in with a flurry of hard punches that started the crowd to wondering what was keeping Yoham off the canvas. (gurney was steady on his feet and put power behind his punches. Howard Collins fought and won over Lee Heartling in the 155 pound match.

This is Cassidy's first year with the Game cocks, and he fought a good man who h .d a lot of experience behind him. Chuck Spann met and defeated Bill Norwood in the 179-pound class. Spann showed great form in his complete mastery of the situa tion. The crowd again became tense waiting for the prospective knock out, but Norwood was saved by the bell.

Carol S1 ina tokIH sunin bo Tourney To Wake] By RALPH GREGORY Sports Editor Wake Forest put a crimp in 1 Carolina's plans for a tournament s spot Monday night when they rang up a 67-58 win over the Gamecocks, v in the Birds' final home game. The c game was nip and tuck until the last four minutes when the Dea cons, paced by Dickie Hemeric, began to hit while Carolina couldn't buy a basket. Johnny Peterson got Carolina off to a two point lead seconds after the tip-off and except for his fre quent goals the Gamecocks could do very little for the first period. They did manage to take an 18-16 edge at the end of the first quarter. Up to this point the game was a personal duel between Peterson and Hemeric. Hemeric had all but one of the first quarter goals for Wake Forest. At the start of the second period Carolina appeared to have hit its stride and ran up a nine point lead before the Deacons could recover. Quickly Hemeric and Tunney Brooks went to work for Wake Forest and by half-time the Dea cons had pulled into a one point lead, 33-32. An 80 foot goal by Brooks as the half-time horn sounded was nullified by a walking violation despite the vigorous protests of the I Toal's Studio 1435 MAIN STREET Phone 6141 " HOW Mi [50?)

He shot from the foul circle I f the Carolina goal and as the )all swished through the horn r ounded. Wake Forest alternated between _ i two and four point lead for most i f the third quarter until the final ninute when Carolina tied it up it 45-45. That was the last Carolina threat is Hemeric again went to work. Between his close-in shots and 3rooks long sets Carolina was un ible to stop the Wake Forest attack Nhile their own offense was sorely reeding a boost. Dwane Morrison was unable to hit and Johnny Peterson had been slowed consid erably. Wake Forest got a 62-56 lead and went into a semi-freeze. It proved as needless as the referee since Carolina wasn't able to score when they had the ball. During the entire fourth quarter the Game rocks could hit only 13 points while Wake Forest had 22. The Carolina cause was hurt considerably when Morrison and Peterson went out on fouls. Hemeric was the big point man of the night. The freshman center scored 33 points as well as playing a great game rebounding.
