Selvy Made Al-American, Then Floyd * By Ralph Lybrand Was Frank Selvy an influence in Darrell Floyd's selection on the AP All-America basketball team? Perhaps the selecting board of the AP All-American team may be reluctant to admit it, but it seems that the imprint Frank Selvy left on the college basketball is becoming a domin ating factor in naming All Americans. Before the Selvy assault on the college basketball and its record books, sportswriters were con vinced that it took more than just 4being a good ball player to make the All-American team. They would say that a player must play Qn a ranking basketball team be fore being honored, that his team just be a regional power, win a tournament, or beat some mighty good clubs. But Furman has never been a team of champion ship class. When Selvy started blistering the courts, they paid little atten tion to this scoring wizard, insisting that he was getting his feats at the expense of - the weaker clubs. Selvy continued his attack in his junior and senior years, and the fans down South were raving about the youngster, demanding that he be recognized as an All American. The experts began to perk up a little and take notice of Selvy, but up North and out West there was little marvel about the accomplishments of this master point maker. Who was Furman? Who had they beat? Sure, Selvy was good, but wasn't he doing all this against small clubs? So, in his senior year, Furman was invited to play in the holiday tournament at Oklahoma City. They didn't win anything but Frank Selvy walked away from this tournament with more scoring records. The fans and experts applauded Selvy and said he was as good as the people in his area Tiad claimed. Hut up North they still main tained that he had to prove him self against the recognized teams. Selvy did just that. Coach Lyles Alley took his team up to play La Salle and Tom Gola. Furman lost but Selvy kept the game close and over shadowed Gola. When he left the court, he received a stand ing ovation and the scribes . went away convinced that Selvy was a great basketball player. He was named to the AP All American team, leading Tom G;ola in votes.' Then came Floyd in the wake of this~ great scorer. Furman was still a so-so team, but it was lead ing the nation in scoring, mainly onl the good right arm of Darrel Floydi. He followed Selvy by lead * ing the nation in individual scor ing with a better than 35-point average. He, too, has been just as consistent against the better teams. The experts recognized his ability and decided he was one of the top five players in the coun try. Tennis Season Opens Monday The Gamecocks will open their tennis season Monday against . Wofford.
