Cries Qf TI Baron Over By BILL DUNNE. Sports Coj"nst In a recent issue of the local morning paper there appeared an article that made it seem the Uni versity of South Carolina w4s the guilty party in a highway robbery case involving the use of grant-in aid scholarships. Two high school footballers vis ited the - USC campus last week, indicating to the powers that be, ey might be more interested In *tending Carolina, than they would in attending Clemson. These boys had already signed grants-in aid with Clemson. The fact that the newspaper omitted, and no body from Clemson. mentioned, is these grants-in-aid are not bind ing until May 15, therefore every school in the' conference has the right to woo these boys to their side - until that date. Last year in the famous Bobby Ivey case, there was a wild scan dal when it was announced that Bobby had signed a grant-in-aid at USC after first signing with Clemson. No one mentioned the fact that USC managed to make Bobby see-the-light before the deadline (at that time-July 15) had been reached. There vere cries of "foul play," "highway robbery," and groaning sounds heard all the way down in the low country that could only be the un intelligible voice of the Bashful Baron. With all this moaning and groaning the fact was that Ivey had originally signed a grant-in aid with Tennessee, and had been SAVE I BUY THE RUSSELL CONTRACT B AVAILABLE ON AT NO EXT1 4' S L A ENGINEERS at If guided missiles, electronic tems and telephones of the fu exciting fields to you, a carc Electric may be just what yol Western Electric handles work and defense assignment neers are right in .the thick projects include the Nike and missile systems . . . advanct land radar . . . the SAGE defense system . . .

Therefore, if Bill McGuirt de cides that he would like to spend his undergraduate days at the finest and largest school in the state, Carolina opens her arms to him. (Maybe he found that the mountain air was too thin for him --like the skin of some of the coaches up there in them thar hills.)

General heoAq Carolina Has Hustle Despite Problems University basketball Coach Walter Hambrick is hoping that the "hot shooting hands" his Gamecocks had against North Carolina State last weekend won't cool off during a 10-day layoff from competition. Carolina Hot The Gamecocks, who hit 42.1 per cent of their shots against State but lost out in the final minutes, 72-65, at Raleigh, will be idle until their Feb. 18 meeting'with Geor gia at Augusta, Ga. "Our game against State was probably one of our two best of the year," Hambrick said. He cited the B3-69 win over Clemson at Clem son as the other. Johnson Returns Against Georgia the Gamecocks will have the services of guard Ronnie Johnson for the first time since December. The Rockford, Ill., sophomore has been out of action with a knee injury after averaging .2 points in six games. South Carolina will be attempt ing to avenge their Dec. 13 loss to Georgia, 76-72, in Columbia in this second meeting with the Bulldogs. Callahan Takes Lead Junior Forward Mike Callahan has taken over the team scoring lead for the Gamecocks with 226 points and a 12.6 average. He also leads the rebounding with a 10.3 average. Close behind Callahan in the scoring are star guard Ray Peri cola, with a 12.2 average, and for ward Walt Hudson, 11.2. Continue to Play Well Hambrick, whose team has a 4 14 record to (late, says, "I don't se how our team can keep on play ing as well as it has in recent games and keel) on losing. The players deserve a lot of credit for their continued hustle and scrap, and I believe it'll pay off for them before the season is over." Next Home Game Carolina will play it's next home game February 21, when they meet the Clemson Tigers. Clemson will be out to avenge their earlier set back as well as keep the Gamecocks from completely dominating thus ar, competition in the major sports.

RONNIE JOHNSON... sidelined is expected to see much action wh Georgia Bulldogs Feb. 18, in Athe Gamecock l To Rely On By WES SCOTT Sports Columnist On the shoulders of six young track stars rest the hopes of the University in inter-collegiate track activities. Coach Weems Baskin has at his disposal the nucleus for one of the best track teams in many years. Distance Man Highligh*ng the prospects is Bill Latham, a Columbia, S. C. senior. He is defending one mile conference champion in the At lantic Coast Conference, and is somewhat of a "one-man-wonder," showing proficiency in the one half, one, and two miles runs. Beat Sime Jim Cathcart will be pushing Carolina's track hopes high in the 100-, 220-yard dashes. Cathcart is remembered for having beaten Dave Sime of Duke University last year in the 220.

Corky Gaines, a regular guardl on the 1958 Gamecock team, had signed with the same team several weeks earlier. The State Down Walt Leads By CHARLES BRADLEY Sports Editor The University lost what was perhaps its beat basketball effort of the year last Saturday night to the nation's sixth ranked team N. C. State by a score of 72-65. Carolina's ace guard Dickie Prater was unable to make the trip with the team Friday due to the fact that his wife was prepar ing to present him with a grand 6 lb. 3 oz. Baby Boy named Richard Alan Prater. After under going the tremendous mental and physical strain required of all ex pectant fathers, Dickie set out by car in route to Raleigh the night before the game. Visibly tired Prater managed but one point for the night. Perilous Position Early in the second half the Gamecock's star playmaker Cookie Pericola became shackled with his fourth personal foul which sever ely handicaped his usefulness to thr team and forced Coach Walt Hambrick to substitute in order to save him for the final minutes of play. Full Court Press N. C. State used a full court press during the most of the game This failed to upset the Gamecocks as the lead change hands several times during the first stanza Carolina was behind by the scor< of 34-33 as the first half ended. The sceond half saw both teams hitting 'hot and cold streaks. Th< effect of the terrific pace was beginning to show. Turning Point With four minutes remaining and State in command with a four point lead, Carolina's Bob Frant7 stole the ball and headed for a lay up. Slowed up by a pair o: badly sprained ankles, Frantz was overtaken, and in one of thosc calls that could go either way, was W. A. A.

The result was that the Gamecock's found themselves then trailing by seven rather than three points, and the pressure on the nationally ranked Wolf Pack was considerably lessened. This ap peared to be the turning point in the game which found the Univer sity playing away from home and battling up hill all the way. High Scorer Walt Hudson was the high scorer for both teams with 22 points. The 6'6" ex-Dreher stand out consistantly provided the scoring punch necessary to keep the University in the game. As 4-he season wears on Walt is show 'ng that he has the potential to be the "big scorer," a must for any team playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Leads in Rebounding Next in total offense was Mike Callahan with 19 points. Mike led the team in rebounding and played his usual consistant type game which marks him as a stand out performer. Floor Man Pericola nearly broke State's back with his passing and drib bling antics. Although he scored only six points he more than matched the fine floor play of the Wolf Packs' Lou Pucillo. Hambrick Smiles Coach Hambrick is definitely not plnaed with losing, although he eannot help but smile when the conversation turns to teams who, regardless of the circumstances. and in the middle of a season in which most teams would dread to take the floor, still have faith in their own ability to meet on even .terms, the nation's best. Luck Evades Carolina It may definitely be stated that a team makes it's own breaks, but it seems as if "lady luck" has turned her back on the Universi ties basketball efforts. Unfortunately it is nearly al ways true that good fortune fol lows the winners, and a team in the midst of a losing season seldom. ;f ever gets the advantage. Five members of the Associated Press All-Big 15 (AA Schools) fooball team for 1958 have signed grants-in-aid to attend the Uni versity of South Carolina next fall.
