Gamec< Birds Battle To Salvage Slate . The Carolina Gamecocks and the Clemson Tigers will renew the flaming rivalry between the two schools when they meet at 8 o'clock tonight in the Field house. Although neither team has been breaking Southern Conference records, it is expected to be one of the closest and hardest fought games of the year for the Game cocks, who have a 4-7 record iM overall games and a 2-6 mark in conference play. Last season the two teams split their two games, but the Game cocks show a 29 to 12 edge in the series which dates back to 1932-33. Salvation for the Gamecocks seems to lie in the hook shots of Johnny Peterson and the rebound ing play of Forward Joe Smith. Coach Johnson's boys will be try-i ing to break out of their shooting slump into the accuracy column. In the past two games the shooting of the entire team has been off, while defensively the Birds have looked as well as can be expected of a green team. In the 50-68 loss to Wake Forest Monday night the Gamecocks hit a new low for the season as they connected with only 18 of 78 shots for a 23 per cent average. How ever, Johnny Peterson, trying hard to match Wake Forest's Hemric, point for point, racked up 24 to Henric's 27. Hitting 49 per cent of all his shots this year, Peterson leads the Carolina pointmakers with 174 points and 15.8 average. Rounding out the Carolina lineup will likely be Forwards Joe Smith and Tom Hofferth along with Guards Jack Hufford and Jack Neeley. Smith is the second highest scorer on the team with 138 points and a 12.5 average. In the Wake Forest loss Tues (lay night, the Tigers Were some what shy defensively as the Deamon Deacons hit from nearly everywhere and hit 21 out of 26 field goal attempts in the first half. However, Freshman sensa tion Billy Yarborough, who managed 18 points in the loss, will likely see a lot of action against the Gamecocks tonight and will be a hard man to hold down if his set-shooting is on. High scorers for Clemson are Center John McGraw, Forward Marvin Robinson, and Forward Ton McCullough. These three, along with Guards Sunny Moorer and Joe Murray, will probably start for the Tigers. The Junior Varsity will play a preliminary game with the Clenm son Jayvees at 6 o'clock. The Blidies have wvon three games and loist none. Between the semesters, the Gamecocks will play two games: Georgia Tech will come to Colum hia on ,Jan. 24 and Furman will be here on Jan. 29. Then, during the week of Feb. 1, the Game('ocks will meet Clemson at C'lemison, N. C. State at Charlotte, and Davidson here.
