Coach Frank Johnson said it was the result of Neilson's much-im proved showing during pre-season practice sessions. Collins got in The Citadel game after nine min utes had passed, and after a slow start accounted for 14 points and as many rebounds. Collins played the entire game against Wofford, until fouling out in the final two minutes; scored 18 points and brought 25 rebounds dowvn off the bmack boards. .. ..The crowd( got whbat it had hoped for: Grady Wallace, national junior college scoring champ andl( a Pikeville t ransfer, pourted 312 points through the nets against T1he Citadel and grabbed off 20 rebounds as well; came b)ack Saturday night with 28 points and a fine game against Wof ford. . . . After twvo games, scoring averages go like this: Wallace, 30.0; Collins, 16.0; Fan nin, 13.0; McCoy, 6.5; andi Smej kal, 6.0. Wallace's field goal per eentage is 51.1, and that of the team is 37.1. Collins has 39 re bounds in twvo games for a 19.5 average. . . . Said Coach Frank .Johnson to a daily columnist of Grady Wallace: "lie's the best ~er we have had aroundi here In ngtime, and shooting is not a ecan (10. HIe's a good re bounder andl a goodi defensive man. ...How wvould I compare him with Furman's Darrel Floyd ? Well, I think he does more than Floyd. I wvouldn't want to say he is a better shot than Floyd-not after one game. I would prefer not to compare their shooting right now, but Wallace can do more things. He has a very good attitude, he's a hard wvorker, a 00(d boy." End quote. . . . Game - defense looked good at times andl bad( at others, Saturday night.

Chuck Hughes a intercepted a Nu pass and gal- h loped 30 yards for the lone score I for the losers. Big George Bomar n and newcomer Howard Gunter r spearheaded a stout defense for f Lambda Chi with Gunter bursting " through on one occasion to add a P safety to his team's scoring. Lamb. h da Chi had the misfortune of hav- t ing two touchdowns called back 0 during the game which was to eventually spell defeat. In a defensive struggle, Sigma Phi Epsilon finally won out over a scrappy Phi Kappa Sigma outfit 6 to 0. The ball changed hands numerous times before an alert Roger Krick intercepted a Phi Kap lateral and pranced 27 yards for the lone score. Pi K A Splits Two Pi Kappa Alpha split two games (during the first 10 days of play, winning over Phi Epsilon Pi 13 to (6 andl losing to the powverful Sigma Nu team 24 to 0.
