Champions. It's Just for The BIrds fY DOUG GRAY As this sport,;w%riter sits dlown to compose a few c words to fill this column space, we run into a blank I 'y that We lleal that basketball, save the campus a is over, spring football practice is over, and none o spring sport-s have started. Therefore, we refuse to be responsible for the remaining lines. We listened to the "big" fight from Miami Beacl Monday night, and needless to say, we were disappo If you readers will kindly recall a column we wrote s( weeks back, you will see that we pre(licted a Johannso tory in the fifth round. Even though our prognostic was ripped up by Patterson. we feel that Ingo gave a 1 account. of himself this time than many expected. known fact that the big Swede is out for good, as far I World Ileavyweight title is concerned. We now wonde1 will challenge the Negro champion? We un(lerstand that. Sonny Liston, a big burly chal who fights like a madman, wants a chance at Floyd. P son was asked who he would fight next, and he saic he would fight anyone, but "I don't see anyone arou fight." Wonder how Liston feels ahout that? Coach Bob Stevens assembled his hasketballers on last week, and asked the squad to fill out, a ballot, voti the most valuable Gamecock for the 1960-61 season a as the ones possessing the most sportsmanship, leade and humor. Art Whisnant was voted the most valuable. C, Ronnie Johnson won out in the lealership category, Bud Cronin took the sportsmanship award. Flashy more guard Scotti Ward was chosen as the most hun of the group. The town of Newberry has gone basketball craz: we can see why when the local college there has : possession the Coach-of-the-Year and Player-of-the-Y( South Carolina. Tom Quinn, the young Indian bask mentor, his directed his quintet to a 22-7 overall recor( is currently in Kansas City particip-ating in the ] nation-wide tournament. In their first game, the Newberry club downed Sir College of Indianola, Iowa 64-58. Pilaying a major role i: victory was Carl Short, the current point leader in the with a little better than 28 points per game. He i. weighs 215 pounds, and from all reports, we under that he is as strong under the boards as Carolina's act WhS1isnant. This column sends its congratulations to and his coach, and hopes that they continue to repi this state as well throughout the remaining part o tournaieit as they have in tle beginning. We don't know whether the students of Carolina noticed it yet or not, but we have, and we feel ti merits recognition. What is it ? It is the new optimisry has risen into the coaching ranks. Coach Stevens m this season as one of his main weapons in upsettinj of the bigger teams in the nation. Another examp)le of this is (oach Mairvini Bass. as op)timistic abI.out the upcoming season as any coach be. it instills in the students andl other Ganmecock foIl a feeling that C arolina is really coming up in the at world.
