THE USC's great scorer and All-Amei caught by the camera as he Is abo the ACC tourney quarterfinals at cocks-won 84-81 as Wallace pumi Clogston, Cameron Favor Keeping ACC Tournament Athletic Directors Roy Clogston and Ed Cameron, members of the ACC Basketball Committee, came to the defense of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament last week and expressed hope that the tourney would be continued. The two men spoke at a meeting of the Atlantic Coast Sportswriters Association at Raleigh's Carolina Country Club. Clogston of N. C. State, also chairman of the conference's public relations committee, said the tour n ey ia a going thing and it would be foolish to change it. "This year will be our most successful at the gate," he stated. "We will gross over $80,000." Duke's Cameron, chairman of the Baslketball Committee, com pared the healthiness of the basket ball situation here with the dise interest he discovered in South eastern Conference areas such as Florida and New Orleans. He ~ttributed the apathy in these areas to the abolishment of the SEC conference tournament. Clogston, defending the tourna ment as an Integral part of the conference's athletic program, viewed the future optimistically. "The ACC is only in its in fancy" he reminded his listeners, 'but we hope to make it a great ,nference. We have the best tourney in the country right now and I think it would be foolish to change it." Cameron defended the present system of deciding a basketball champion and cited figures to illustrate his point. "The regular season champions have won seven out of 10 tour nEys," he pointed out (Including S6uthern Conference results until 1954). "The second place team won twice and the fourth place team one. That doesn't seem unfair to me." Recalling a recent trip Into Southeastern Conference territory, Cameron said he found little pub licity or interest surrounding basketball games in that area. He said the game was on the decline there and laid the slump to the fact that the Southeastern dis continued its annual tournament. "VAlso discussed were plans for presentation of various achieve ment awards. The basketball player of the year award, received last year by State's Ronnie Shav lk, henceforth will be known as the Fluice Stewart Award. It was namEd in memory of the former basketball coach at Maryland, Fur man and Appalachianl College who died last year.
