Collins Still
Stars For
Gamecocks
By Lewis Cromer
Sports Writer
Carolina's six-foot, six-inch cen
ter, Lee Collins, appears to be off
to a slow start in the basketball
wars this year. However, before
critics begin to lowrate this tall
lad, it may be well to look at the
difference in this year's team and
last year's outfit, with whom Lee
scored 16.5 points per game and
ranked high in the conference. Last
year Collins was almost the sole
sharpshooter on the team and also
the tallest man on the squad by far.
On his shoulders fell most of the
shooting responsibility, and al
though aided greatly by Woody
Preston and Tom Hofferth, Lee
was Carolina's paramount threat
under the boards as well.
This year presents quite a study
in contrast. This year, Carolina
has one of the conference's top
scorers in Grady Wallace and
another scoring threat in the per
son of Bobby McCoy. With such
basketeers as this "Pikevillo Duo"
on hand, Collins has not needed to
take as many shots as he did last
year and has shown himself to be
something far better than a mere
shotmaker, namely, a team man.
Anyone who has seen Carolina
play this year can see the part that
Collins has played in the team's
success. He has given the Game
cocks a center, dependable for re
bounds and floorwork. His shoot
ing eye, too, has been better than
the observer will readily admit. He
is averaging 16 rebounds per game
and last week he was averaging 16
points per game, second best on the
squad, and with a shooting per
centage of 401. He is certainly an
integral part of Frank Johnson's
club.
Collins is finishing his collegiate
career this year at Carolina. For
the past three years he has been a
regulai for the basketballers and
last year was leading scorer on the
team. He was rated highly in pre
season by sports scribes throughout
the state as a potential candidate
for stute scoring honors. Though
his point making has not been as
great as anticipated, he has come
through brilliantly on rebounds and
floor play, and deserves to receive
a share of credit for this year's
South Carolina basketball team.

~Biddies Are
Beaten 96-78
By Jackson
The powerful F o r t Jackson
Eagles pulled away in the second
half to defeat the University of
South Carolina freshmen, 96-78,
Tuesday night in the Field House.
The game was the preliminary to
the varsity battle between South
~ACarolina and Duke, which was won
by the Blue Devils, 63-52.
The Eagles, who are rated as the
second-best service team in the
eastern United States, jumped into
an early lead, but the Biddies, led
by Richard Hoffman, Don Grabow,
and Cookie Pericola, rallied and cut
the margin to 43-42 at halftime.
The frosh kept the score close
until midway of the second half,
but the experience of the soldiers
began to pay off and they steadily
increased their lead.
Vince Leta led the second half
Fort Jackson surge and wound up
the evening with 29 poInts, high
for the game. White added 26
points to take runner-up honors for
the soldiers.
Hoffman led the Biddies' scoring
wyith 25 points. Grabow had 20 and
Paricoln 19 for the outelassed frosh.

Warren
By Walter Johnson
Sports Editor
Warren Giese, the new head
coach at Carolina, will he staying
in the apartments on the third
floor of the Russell House. He will
probably be there until Mrs. Giese
arrives in Columbia.
Giese, 31-year-old assistant foot
ball coach at Maryland, has signed
a reported three-year contract for
$12,000 per year to coach the
Gamecocks. He replaces Rex En
right who will remain at Carolina
as athletic director.
Assistants Stay
All of the assistant coaches at
Carolina will probably stay here
except Earl Dunham, backfield
coach, who resigned to take a pub
lic relations job with the American
Brewers Association. Those re
maining are Hank Bartos, Ted
Petoskey, Ernie Lawhorne, Blackie
Johnson, a n d freshman coach
Weems Baskin.
Giese will hire two new assist
ants, one to replace Dunham and
one other. Among those he is con
sidering are two line coaches at
Maryland, Emmett Cheek and Ed
Kensler, and the freshman coach at
Maryland, Bill (Whitey) Dowell.
Now that Jim Tatum has left
Maryland for North Carolina,
Giese should have no trouble
getting the ones he wants.
Strong Line
Giese says that he is going to
concentrate on building up a
powerful line at Carolina. That is
one of the main essentials of a
winning team. He was an assistant
coach at Maryland for eight years
and knows what he is talking
about.
He has two children and another
is expected soon. His wife and chil
dren will probably join him here

about mid-March.
He said he was pleased with his
new job at Carolina and likes the
people he will be working with.
"Rex Enright is one of the most
respected men in his field, and he
will understand my problems," said
Giese.
Rex Oldest Coach
Enright has coached more years
than any other coach in the At
lantic Coast Conference. He has
produced some good teams and
some surprise victories. These in
clude seven wins, two losses and
one tie against top rival Clemson.
President Russell said of En
righ': "As he retires as our head
football coach, the University
salutes Rex Enright as both a
gentleman and sportsman in the
finest sense of these terms and
joins him in looking back with
pride and satisfaction upon his en
viable record as head football coach
at the University.
Enright Says
Said Enright, in part: "With the
increased tempo a n d exacting
duties required by the two jobs, I
deemed it impossible to handle both
positions adequately. Therefore, I
have decided to give up the football
coaching duties and devote my full
time to the athletic directorship.
