(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.

the decision was close. This is
Cassidy's first year with the Game

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.

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

corer. 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. "Pete"
