Game Time _ohnny Ray Disaster has befallen the Carolina Gamecocks for the past week and left them with uncertainty as they look to the future, in an effort to redeem themselves in the field of sports. The once-omnipotent boxing team probably has the best chance to make redemptions for a lone, unexpected defeat, but things look a trifle darker for the battle-scarred basketball team. When the shocking news came to Columbia that the boxing team had suffered its first loss of the season, there was a note of skepticism in the reaction of the fans as they grimaced and said little. Surely, we had a better team than Miami, for didn't Virginia beat Miami? Didn't we batter out a decisive victory over the Virginians? Miami was a dark horse in the collegiate boxing world, and when they beat the Gamecocks, many technicalities came to light as revela tions of actualities were brought forth. A loss by Allen George was the most unexpected incident in the nucleus of events. George, who was decisioned by Miami's Gene Hall, fell victim in the first official bout of the evening. In the previous bout Johnny Stokes (119) had won his bout which was classfiied as an exhibition. Because this bout didn't count, the Hurricanes went ahead 1-0. Chuck Davis won his, Andy Sciambra lost a close one to NCAA Champ Archie Slaten to make it 2-1. Emmett Gurney came back to tie it at 2-2, by breezing through his opponent. Mal colm DeWitt was victorious, but Haywood Davis was held to a draW. This made it 31/2-2%/ in favor of the Gamecocks, but the Birds had won their last fight of the night. Ed Wilson, fighting in the light-heavyweight slot, lost by 1 point as did Jimmy Craven, a newcomer fighting in the heavyweight division. These two bouts could have gone either way, according to reports from Coach Jess Alderman but, perhaps because of the localism involved, the referee awarded them to Miami. A BIG QUESTION On and off the campus we have heard many persons voice the opinion that the bouts were lost because of the fact that the fight in the 119-pound division, which Carolina's Stokes won, was not counted. The match was fought as an exhibi tion by mutual agreement of the two coaches and many think that sportsmanship on the part of Coach Alderman may have: been the turning point. According to reliable sources, the Miami 119 pounder had been feeling badly for the past few days and it was the suggestion of hi3 coach to let him fight exhibition. The fight was not lost because of this, however, because, under present collegiate rulings, a 119 pound fighter is not mandatory, as is a heavyweight. During the past season, Carolina forfeited in the heavyweight division because of the lack of a fighter. Under collegiate rulings, only eight fighters are required to fight officially-all these being from the 125 pound weight limit to th, heavyweight. If Miami had not offered a fighter in this weight, it would have meant nothing except that there would have been no exhibition. Coach Alderman was a good sport, but it didn't cost us one single point! DISASTER IN OTHER AREAS The cagers received one of their worst defeats when the Purple Paladins turned hopes of a Gamecock victory into a 105-68 landslide which landed right smack on top of the Birds, thereby, virtually eliminating all hopes of a 50-50 season. The Paladins thoroughly avenged a 74-72 licking by the Gamecocks several weeks ago, with Selvy, Gordon, and: Deardorff dropping in 37, 28, and 22 points, respectively. Joe Smith and Art Smejkal were the only ones to hit in. double numbers for the Birds, but two alone could not keep pace with the rapid pace of the Furman trio. Tomorrow night the victory-starved Gamecocks will faceI Duke at Durham. Duke, currently burning up the Southern Conference, is only one of the obstacles to be faced by the Birds before any rest is in sight. The other is Wake Forest, which the Birds will meet Monday at Wake Forest.

With a record of 9 wins and 11 losses, including 5-10 record in the Southern Conference, the Game cocks will have little to lose when they seek an upset tomorrow night, and main hopes for an upset probably lies in the shooting of Forwards Joe Smith and Art Smejkal, along with the rebound play of these same boys. Most likely, Tom Hofferth and Jack Neeley will start at guards. Peter son, Collins, and Gainey, none of whom fared so well in the Furman game will be eligible for the start ing center position. The Blue Devils, who have beat en nearly everything they could get their hands on in the past three weeks, have victories over N. C.

Against the Furman Paladins the Gamecocks utilized a zone de fense until Paladin Kenny Dear dorff, a big surprise for the night, began hitting from the outside. Deardorff had 19 points at the half as Furman led by twenty points. In the second half the Gamecocks turned to a mar-to man defense which resulted in a point-making spree by Furman combinationists Frank Selvy and Nield Gordan, who netted 37 and 28 points, respectively, for the night. Sophomore Joe Smith and Freshman Art Smejkal were the only near-effective guns for the Gamecocks. Smith scored 20 markers while Smejkal tallied for 14 more. The Gamecocks were off in every department, however, and Coach Johnson will possibly make a change in the lineup or defensive tactics for tomorrow night. mps...
