The Ma "'Me cheerful smile, the friendly gaze, the voice that means the things it says," could best be used to describe Carolina basketball mentor, Bob Stevens. Stevens came to Carolina this season from Michigan State University and. has guided his team to a highly respectable year. Under his direction, the Birds have already won more games than they managed to win all season in the 1958-59 cam pa4gn Bass Vacat Accepts Po. BY DOUG GRAY Sports Writer Marvin Bass, one time great at William and Mary, has accepted the No. 1 assistant's job at Georgia Tech. He will work with the famed Bobby Dodd. Bass, who came here from the University of N o r t h Carolina staff, served for the past four seasons as the top. assistant under Head Coach Warren Giese of the University of South Carolina. The friendly, big statured man Ward Allows For Handicap In Shooting &otti Ward, freshman cager who leads the Gamecock frosh in scoring with a 19.9 mark, seems to come up with something new every day. Usually it's a new shot or a behind-the-back dribble on t h e basketball court, but this time it is a fact that surprises every Caro lina basketball fan. Ward explains that he is praef,ically blind in his right eye. It seems Incredible that such a marksman should have to "allow" a little for unbalanced vision, as Scotti hit on 53 consecutive free throws this season before a miss and boasts the highest average on the Baby Bird squad. Snowball Hit Eye As a child In Valparaiso, In diana, &eotti was hit In the eye with a snowball, and his vision in his right eye is only about 20-80. After a bout w i th corrective glasses, Scotti exchanged them for a basketball career, In which he alms to the right a little to com pensate for the faulty vision in one eye. However, the handicap has not proven too great, as the freshman flash had an admirable career at Valparaiso H i g h School before coming to the University. Aside from his shooting accuracy, Scotti Is also adept at ball-handling and play-making, a n d his deceptive dribbling reminds one of Marcus Haynes, of Harlem Globetrotter fame, or of the world's champion Boston Celtie's great Bob Cousy. All-Round Athlete Ward also excellh In other phases of athletics, Including track, In which he Is an accomplished dis tance runner. In high school he turned in a 4:28.1 mile run and a 9:80 two-mile jaunt, almost as good as the Atlantic Coast Confer ence record for this event, 9:19.3.

However, in the time I have had the pleasure of his acquaintance, I have yet to hear the first person deprecate anything he has done. This is truly a won derful record for any man. To me, it is a mark of greatness. The sense of humor he possesses did so much to break the ennui of the many long, hard practices on the football field. Without him things would have really been miserable. He knew when to work hard and when to take it easy. Then, there were the pep talks for which he is famous.
