It's Just for The B*rds BY CARROLL GRAY STBT As Ilhc Gnamecocks have been eliminated from further competition in the district and national playoffs, many of the bisketball fans from the Columbia area,coastward think: .ketball is over. Not so in the Piedmont region of South Catrolina! In Greenville this week, basketball is the center (f :il sporting news featuring the Southern Textile Basket ball Tournament. The ST11T is held in the Memorial Auditorium in Green V'lle and tho five-day event is expected to lure some 15,000 fans. The tournament's main attraction is the Men's Open )ivision which attracts from twelve to fifteen teams from ive states. In past years such top-quality basketballers as 1rady Wallace, Tommv Kerns, Frank Selvy, Jack Salee., 1),arrell Floyd, Jim Slaughter, Daddy Neal, Mack Isner and tihe greatest scorer in organized basketball, Earl Wooten, have been featured. This year, the STBT is expected to realize new heights. Area basketball names such as Carli Short, Vince Yokel, Bruce Thompson, Tom Conard, Dick Wright, Choppy Patterson and All-American Roger Kaiser ()t Ga. Tech will compete with many of the above mentioned for tournament honors. Among many outstanding teams and players that have participated through the years, per haps Earl Wooten and his Piedmont Rangers rank at the top. In his twenty-year stint as player in the Textile basketball league, The Earl has scored 17,575 points, includ ing many 70 and 80-point performances. Quite a record! Where Credit, is Due Robert Louis Stevens, Basketball Coach of the University of South Carolina, should be the Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year! Hie may not have compiled an undefeated record, but the job his team did against fantastic odds every time they walked on the court . . . !! It is a coaching wonder how he kept his team morale at such a peak; how his boys could keep punching all the way, every game. Whether or not the Conference chooses to give you the honor you deserve. Coach Stevens, the students of Carolina honor and respect you, your methods, and your team. The Comeback Frank Selvy. former basketball All-American at Furman University. set the all time intercollegiate scoring record of 41.8 points per game in 1955, his senior year. Everyone had visions of Selvy immediately continuing his scoring feats in the pro ranks. Signing a fat contract with the now defunct Baltimore Bullets, Selvy endured one season of miserable teamwork and erratic performances; i one case scoring over fifty points, only to be held to less than ten the next game. Uncle Sam greeted Frank soon after that uneventful year and ipossibly the greatest shot in college basketball gave his full-time service to the United States Army. Upon Selvy's release, he joined the St. Louis Hawks. (The Hawks bought all Bullet contracts after Baltimore folke() playing only part time, thanks to an uncooperative coach, Selvy asked to be traded, and the Minneapolis Lakers grabbed at the opportunity for Selvy's services. His first year with the Lakers, Frank )layed( only part time as it appearedI that he had lost the "touch" which made him famous. The transfer of the Lakers to Los Angeles apparently worked wonders with the coordination of the right wrist and eyes of Frank Selvy. This year he has won a Permanent starting slot at guard and teams tup with such stars as Elgin Baylor, Jerry West and Rod llundley--Los Angeles is no pushove'r! ! Several times this year Selvy has hit over the 30-p)oint mark, and his atveralge is steadily climbing. It was a six-year road back for "Fabulous Frank,'' and many of his fans in S. C. are happy to see it. Hlelp!

Head Coach M a r v i n Bass seemed well pleased with the out come of his "early" practices, but he realized that two problems were very evident - halfbacks and punting game. The passing game, something that a lot of people complained about before Bass took over, showed a lot of promise. It pleased the crowd and the head mentor. "The thing that has pleased me most is the way the kids have taken to the passing game," the personable coach said. "We've been concentrating on rather sim ple pass patterns this spring, but the boys have taken to it with a lot of enthusiasm and have adap ted very well." The big man also said that passing would play a big part in next season's offensive plans, but he said that "we aren't going to throw the ball just to throw it. The game situation will dictate when the pass will be thrown and how often."

Concerning his halfback prob lem, Bass said that depth was his big problem, "But we have one or two boys who, if they come through, can fill the gap." He continued: "Our halfbacks are small, but we are pleased with the running of Sammy Anderson and Dean Fowble, although Dean didn't have a real good day Satur day." "And we all know what Gam brell can do," Bass said. "That boy has all the natural movements. le puts the pressure on the de fense because he has the ability to go the distance every time he carries the ball." "Our punting has just got to improve," the personable coach note(d. "Since Doug Hatcher grad untes, we've got to find a replace ment.
