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!

Spring practice e n d e d last
Saturday in Carolina Stadium
with an intra-squad game in which
the Red squad bombed the White
squad 34-6.
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."

"We are going to bring them
along next fall, and we may end
up with a real good aerial attack."
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

"And we all know what Gam

boy has all the natural movements.

"Our punting has just got to
