SPORTOMAT-IC Throw out the last 20 seconds of a basketball game, add one successful free throw, tap the final buzzer so the fans can get their breath, and there you would have one of the most delightful surprises of a newly started basketball sea son. It was the Carolina Gamecocks that stood in this very same position last Wednesday night in the field house when they tangled with the Terrapins from Maryland. Twenty seconds to go with the game tied at 49-49. Maryland in possession of the ball and trying to beat the clock so they could get one last successful attempt at the basket. Fans in an uproar trying to use their imagination and say that the Terps couldn't do what they had in mind. And then, as if rehearsed from the beginning - of their practice sessions, Maryland's Tom Young, who had been everything but im pressive before these vital seconqs, calmly stepped into an opening adjacent to the free throw line, and fired a perfect strike. This was the climax to a' hard-fought, skillfully played bat game that could have just as easily gone the opposite direction as not, but the Gamecocks were just plain destined for this moment of hard luck and it came in the most inopportune time. BETTER-THAN-AVERAGE? . . . MAYBE Unlike preseason comments of the 1953-54 edition of our basketball team, they seemed to show fans Wednesday c night that they might have the material for a fairly dangerous outfit. Not to be too hasty in saying that the v Gamecocks have a better-than-average club, let's say that if the Wednesday night's performance is any indication of upcoming contests, then they might in all probability prove to be underrated in the eyes of students and fans who have not had an opportunity to witness them in action. Gene Shue is, in the eyes of this writer, Maryland's un disputed star of the show. He has an uncanny eye for the basket and maneuvers exceedingly well on the floor. How ever, Joe Smith gave every indication that he can score also. In my opinion, Shue is no All-American. I'll concede that he is not an ordinary ballplayer, but if you're classifying him with a member of the Furman team, you've lost your u marbles. v Football season is history now and all the accomplish- n ments achieved individually or as a team are water under the d dam. However, I have never had the opportunity to express E my sentiments on one of the Carolina football players. Every team has its heroes and every team has its supposedly un heralded heroes. The Gamecocks of the past season had one of the most underrated backs in the Atlantic Coast Confer- F ence and I am not supposing. He is one of the best halfbacks F in the state if not the conference, but post-season honors S shyed his name like it was a good case of mumps. This ball- d player runs with the best of them, was our principal punter, f and possibly the be*t defensive man on the team. This sports writer casts his ballot for Blackie Kincaid, the native West 1 Virginian, as the state's most underrated football player. - - - - -- - I JOHN DUFFY BIOLOGY (Continued from page 2) (Continued from page 3) 1 techniques were amazingly similar,.fti ralisi ledl What competition there was, could Cut,atog ml oto be found only in the advertisingexedinotesthrpatf of these corporations.
