These anti-conference tourney folk also point to othe parts of the country where the regular season play deter mines the title (e.g., Kentucky of the Southeastern Con. ference and Kansas of the Big Seven). However, neithe the 26-game limit nor this "other parts of the country" bi seems to be persuasive enough to cope with the $80,a the ACC takes in during the three-day tournament. Maryland's coach, Bud Millikan, opponent of the ACC meet along with UNC's Frank McGuire and others, points out that N. C. State was a much better team than the one which lost to Canisius last year in the NCAA play-offs, just as Duke was better when it lost to Villanova two years ago. Millikan claims that both clubs were cxhausted from the rigorous three-day ACC meet. McGuire, although in the same school of thought on the subject, contradicts Millikan by stating that his Tar Heels "were young and were not tired after competing in the ACC tourney." Millikan also offers a solution-he would like to see the ACC tournament played during the Christmas holidays, with no conference games played before then which would solve nothing and would only make a bigger problem out of it all. PL,JUING TOURNAMENT Eddie Cameron, chairman of the ACC basketball com mittee, said his committee is open minded about how basket ball should be conducted in the conference, but it was not going to rush into any change without being certain they would be for the best interests of all. "I just got back from a tri to Florida and Louisiana," he stated. "In both states there were important college basketball games between traditional rivals. But the crowds were small, and the attention they got in the press was slight. Now I thin that is an indication of what has happened to Southeastern Conference basketball since that league discontinued its tournament. "In this area we have basketball at its peak, and I think the tournament has a lot to do with it. As for determining the champion, you can look at the record and see that in the last 10 years the team that was first in the regular season standings won the tournament seven times and that in two of the other cases the second-place team, with an almost equal record, won it. Only once did a team as low as fourth win the tournament. So I think the groth of the tournament has been on a sound basis." Now if we may, we'd like to offer a little solution of our own.... Simply this: allow two more schools to enter into the conference. Not only would this render the tournament "oist-sason" by excluding the number nine and 10 teams, ut it inould also strengthen the conference in all athletics.

LNG IV THE ACC AKTOL lTRNAMENT!BIRER TO At IIELCOITER ball Game Tomorrow i Nelson Weston is fighting hard against Corky Gaines and Jacli Ashton. According to all reports Ashton is one of the rougher players on the Gamecock roster. It is said that the members of the varsity team last year placed Ash. ton on their all-opponent team even though he was only a bohunli who faced them day after day. In the backfield, Prank Destinc is trying hard. to capture the firsi team berth over King Dixon. A - hot battle between these two boys has existed since last fall, and apparently Destino has no desire to let Dixon rest. Actually, it isn't that those players who played consistently last fall have decreased In effee tiveness, but because the competi tion is so great and everyone is trying hard to capture those im portant team berths. Injuries have struck the Game cock camp in the form of the loss of Sam Vickers due to a shoulder injury and W. L. Strick land because of a knee injury. Both men are , quarterbacks on the Bird squad and that leaves only four or five field-generals around for a while. Bobby Bunch, Larry Bennett, and Steve Satterfield are battling for posi tions on the squad. Practice injuries have taken their toll in other positions, as several players are out with in jured knees and Bunky Shore is ,put with a fractured left arm. A large crowd is anticipated by the Block "C" club for the annual game which they sponsor. Last spring, about two months after Giese had arrived in Gamecock town, the team went through Its spring game with everyone leaving the game with the feeling that 1956 was not the year for the Gamecocks. However, as Septem ber rolled around, Carolina began with an unimpressive win over Wofford's Terriers and then fol lowed this up with the upset of the year in beating Duke's Blue Devils 7-0. From then on, the Gamecocks rolled over five other ACC teams to finish the season with a fine 7-3 record. Tickets for the Intra-squad game may be obtained at the gate for $1.
