BREAD AND BUTTER foi th4 Hemrie is averaging 28.7 points p at Wake Forest. Birds Down Miami, Collins Leads Way Lee Collins and Joe Smith led the way as the Gamecocks came from behind to beat Miami (Fla.) 83-77. The Gamecocks trailed 40 38 at halftime, but Collins proved too much for the Hurricanes. Miami used three centers in an attempt to stop Collins, who had his hook shot working like a magician's wand. Collins coun tered 31 points and grabbed 18 rebounds to hoist his averages in both departments. Smith added 20 points and Woody Preston tal lied 14. The victory gave the Gamecocks eight wins and 11 losses for the .eason. They have won seven games outside of the conference while dropping only two. In con ference play the Birds haven't fared too well, winning only one and dropping nine. Should the Gamecocks beat Clemson in a return match, they would be assured of seventh place in the conference.

The Gameco SAE Troun In Footbal Team Unbeaten, Unscored Upon Tlie first play of the game, a touchdown pass, gave SAE all the margin they needed to coast to the campus football champion ship. The final 20-0 win over ASME climaxed a brilliant 'sea son for the winners. Charlie Jacocks threw a long pass downfield that was gathered in by Bob Royall as he crossed ASME's goal line for a touch down. Jacocks threw two other touchdown passes; one to Buzzy Carmichael, the other to Welly Bradham. Jacocks also threw two passes fnr extra points. SAE finished the season without allowing an opponent to register a-score against them. This is one of the finest records ever compiled in intramural play. A lot of credit goes to Coach Buzzy Carmichael who did a fine job with his boys. ASME played the role of under dog throughout the season, but pulled a thrilling upset over Mc Bryde to enter the playoffs. SAE beat Phi Sigin, Kappa 18-0 to advance to the semi-finals of the championship; thea downed a rugged Sigma Chi team by a 2-0 score. Sigma Chi had a touch (down called back because of illegal blocking. ASME reached the finals by beating Preston first West 13-7. SAE played the championship game without the services of their star end, Bernard Bourne, who had the misfortune of breaking his shoulder in the game against Sigma Chi. Seven-Footer May Wilt Chamberlain, 18-year-old Negro schoolboy, already is ac claimed a great basketball player. Chamberlain is just seven feet tall and weighs about 230 pounds. One coach says Chamberlain is as good as George Mikan was last year. The Globetrotters, profes sionals, and big-time colleges are trying to lure the young giant into their folds. Chamberlain is a senior attend ing Overbrook High School in Philadelphia. The local Philadel phia colleges want him to stay in town and play basketball for them. L,aSalle would like him to Guard Denny Fannin (left) anud fern, from Pikevlle Junior College h attack. Preston is averaging 14.9 pe Is the Gamecocks' playmaker.

Final Pi KA Takes 'Mural Opener Intramural basketball got under way Monday night with two close games and one runaway. Lambda Chi, Phi Kappa Alpha, and ASME took victories in the opening games. Phi KA had an easy time down ing Phi Kappa Sigma 60-23. Bobby Barrett, fullback on last year's freshman football tenm, led the winners with 24 points. Jim Brown tallied 10 points for the losers. Lambda Chi downed Phi Ep silon Pi by the tune of 37-33 in a Fraternity League two game. Delance Poston dropped in 14 points for the victors, and Barry Klassman scored 12 for the Phi Ep's. ASME took a 31-26 decision from the Newman Club. Harold Ward was high scorer with 15 points for ASME. Jack Colcolough registered 12 for Newman. There has been many conflicts in making up the intramural schedule. First, the freshman basketballers are still practicing andl the Field House can only be used at nine o'clock each night. University High gymnasiu-m can not be used for intramural con test. The reason is not known. As of now, there will be three games each night in the old gym and one game at 9 o'clock in the Field House. Be Next Mikan replace A,l-American Tom Gola. Chamberlain takes a trip almost every wveekend to visit various schools that are interested in what he has to sell, and he has plenty. He was high scorer in Philadelphia last season, averag ing 37.8 points per game. His highest total in one game is 71. Last season he led Overbrook to the city championship. Chamberlain does a little run ning. on the side. He holds several A ALU junior records, set when he was 16. He once did 48.8 in the 440 running for the local PAL.
