USC Depth
Helps Run
*Opponents
Two-platoon basketball may be
the order of the day when Coach
Bob Stevens' deep, fast. Game
ock basketball squad takes the
floor for games this year.
Depth is one of the Birds' pri
mary assets this year, with scor
ing also to be a strength. With
eight letterman returnees, six
sophomore prospects, and two red
shirts out for the team, Stevens
hould have no trouble finding
oys to fill out jerseys.
The offense should be even more
"go-go" than last year, with im
proved speed, and effectiveness
should increase because the play
era will know the plays better and
receive more rest.
Scoring will probably go up,
since three players averaging over
ten points per game return, along
with assorted freshman dead-eye
shots. The Birds will be more
difficult to defend against with
such balance.
Rebounding, a rather vital de
partment to the not-so-heighty
Gamecocks, should be improved,
with the new additions and more
respite for the "old guard."
Carolina will be no pushover for
anyone, and on the right night,
could stir up quite a fuss, es
pecially in their own back yard.

After finishing his first season
at the University with a record
of four wins and six losses, Bass
pointed out that "the unknown"
should not be ignored when taking
into account USC's chances for
the future.
The Gamecocks look to be a
deeper, more experienced outfit
than last year's team, with only
a few players missing from the
first two units. Graduates from an
impressive freshman squad will
be called upon to plug whatever
holes appear in the lineup.
"It looks right now as if we're
going to have some pretty good
depth and seasoning next year,"
states Bass. "We'll have more than

last year, at least, but there are
many things which have a part in
determining whether we'll have
what we expect or not."
"First of all," he continued, "we
don't know what the mortality
rate will be academically this
year, or just who may be affected
by the draft, or who won't be
around next year for one reason
or another. We'd like to know
that the boys who are eligible now
will be around next year, but
there's always a possibility that
some won't."
Bass said that he would like to
be able to substitute entire units,
rather than individuals. If all
works out as expected next year,
I this may be the case.

at 12:00 Saturday with Sam An

The game was filled with ex

Writer Wants
Schedule For
'62 Campaign
BY FRED SCHUMPERT
Straying from the subject of
bull fighting and flying around
the city, Bob Talbert (with the
STATE Paper) seems quite upset
on the delay of the 1962 Carolina
football schedule.
Frankly, with the completion of
the '61 season only a week old, I
can see no reason for such an
argument. Other teams are still
preparing for conference games
and others bowl offers. Why jump
into the next season and lose
everything you've played for this
year?
Observing the record that has
been made this year with out
standing victories, better team
moral, better spectator support,
and a tremendous change in the
student enthusiasm, congratula
tions Instead of criticisms should
be given to the entire athletic
staff.

Strong squads from Wake For
est and Duke will probably repre
sent the AC( in national ratings,
but improvement on the part of
-he rest of the teams will make
the Conference nto "easy pickin's"
in basketball this year.
Standout individuals abound in
,he league this season, with sev
eral players being mentioned for
All-American h o n o r s. Strong
sophomore contingents at almost
every school will play a large part
in deciding many games.
Four returning starters from
Wake Forest's defending champ
ions make them a prime Confer
ence favorite. Enormous Len
Chappell, 6-8 and 240 pounds, was
the league's top scorer with a
26.6 average last year and is the
key to the Deacon's attack with
his rebounding and shooting.
Guard Billy Packer adds his
outside shooting (17.2 ppg) to
Chappell's point production to
form a potent two-some. Bill Hull,
6-6, and Bob Woollard, 6-10, give
the Deacon's additional rebound
ing strength, while Dave Wiede
man is a fine playmaker and
driver.
For a team that graduated four
starters, )uke will field a very
tough quintet that lacks only ex
perience. Leading the charge for
the Blue Devils will be 6-5 Art
Heyman, a shooter par excellance
who dumped in 25.2 tallies per
game in 1960-61.
Sophomore Jeff Mullins is be
ing touted as the top newcomer
in the Conference. He stands 6-4
and fired at a 24 point rate for
the Devil frosh. Another soph,
lanky Jay Buckley, 6-10, is cur
rently battling for the starting
center post with Fred Kast, a 6-7
senior.
N. C. State, with all its troubles,
still has an ace in the hole in the
person of its wiley coach, Everett
Case. Hurt by scandal, graduation,
and losses from a standout fresh
man team,. the Wolfpack will rely
on forwards Russ. Marvel, 6-6, and
John Punger. 6-4l. to carry the
load.
Ken Rohloff is State's top re
turning scorer with a 12.2 average
b)ut he won't be eligible until sec
undl semester, so J1on Speaks will
be best in the backeourt. Unless
either 6-6 Pete Auksel, 6-9 Ron
G;ossell. or John Key, 6-8, conme
through, the Wolfpack may be
lacking in rebounding strength.
Maryland plays a slow, well
balanced type of offense, but un
less the sophomores develop rapid
ly, won't cause the leaders too
much trouble. Much depends on
junior Jerry Greenspan, 6-7, and
soph, Scott Ferguson, 6-8. adding
points and rebounds to the Terp
total.
The Terrapins have three scor
ers who averayed over 10 ppg last
season in the persons of Bill Stas
iulatis, Bob Eicher, and Bruce
Kelleher, but still lack the good
big man so necessary for success
in ACC basketball.
At North CarolIna, the Tarheels
lost their coach and some top
notch players. They will he relying
an 6-7 Jim Hludock, Jim Donohue,
Si-8, for height, while the back
ourt will be manned by Donnie
Walsh and Larry Brown. Sopho
more prospects are Mike Cooke
and 6-7 Art Katz.
The Clemson Tigers will rely
mainly on a fine group of sophs

:ories. Tom Mahaffey, 6-7, is the
nly returning starter, but in

Last year, may play second semes

shooter Jim Brennan (26 ppg for
the first year men), and three
boys over 6-7 to help with the re

shooters to create miuch of a
