Bass Preview Of Gamecock By HENRY EICHEL. Sports Writer Marvin Bass is a six-foot plus chunk of geniality who rumbles when he speaks. This week he spoke of football, his main stock in-trade. "The purpose of this spring's practice," he said, "will be to im prove the players on the funda mentals of football. The first week, the plafers will be divided evenly with offensive a n d defensive groups. During the two hours a day that we'll practice, we'll drill the boys on the basic positions, and for the offensive boys, on blocking techniques." Emphasizing his points with the two hams he uses for hands, the big man went on: "We'll do a lot of group work; the interior linemen will concentrate on inside defense. The ends will work on perimeter play, We plan to try our end sweeps, too." Bass plans to use a four-team system during practice, but next September the old offensive and sporl M1 The spirit which Carolim this past season in supportin mended, but the treatment w subject to from some of the 1 asset to South Carolina's repi Duke's All-American, Art places he has played in the co Field House the most.

"We're going to try to find the best 33 men on the squad," ex plained the coach. "Then, towards the end of the practice season, we'll begin to develop team play, running the four teams against each other. Then, we'll probably run against Duke's defenses. "The practices will be open to the public, They'll begin at 4:30 since a lot of our boys have school work in the afternoon." Bass wants the students to come to watch. "After all, it's the stu dents who make up the school." The team that faces Duke September 21 will be physically stronger than last year's version. "They'll able to stand up to their opponents and play nose-to-nose football," is the way Coach Bass put it. The backfield, spurred by quar terback Dan Reeves, is larger this year and has more depth. Though Reeves may be the only break-away runner of note that the team will field this year, the Gamecock back 'op cs IE IcCA ''11 ____ Vports Iditor " " t basketball fans have showr 6 a losing team is to be com hich visiting teams have been inruly fans is certainly not an itation in the ACC.

"Where we depended on one or two good men, now we can depend on everybody," Bass explained. "Last year, Reeves and Billy Gambrell were our one-two punch. They could pressure the other side's defense, cause it to break mentally." But, lack of depth ,according to Bass, was Carolina's greatest prob lem last year, it caused the team to flub on obvious situations. "The defense was unable to coin- t tain the other guy in crucial situa tions. On third-down plays with only a few yards to go, the offense was stalled time after time. Maybe we were just snake-bitten and the hard luck will change," said Bass. t The coach views the 1963 season c with high optimism. "Our boys are of better quality than they were in the past. Jiminy Crickets, the boys are getting better coaching in high school than they've ever had be fore," said the coach. It's the students, though, who will be the team's backbone. "School spirit is everything," said Bass. "Everything falls into place when spirit is high; then we're tough." Profs Battle Students Sat.

Citadel Defeats Evans Wins Th Despite a brilliant performance by Johnny Evans, the USC swim ming team was defeated last I Thursday 55-35 by The Citadel. Evans won three events and set two new school records. His first record-breaking performance came - in the individual medley. Twenty minutes later he won the 200-yd. butterfly and finished off the afternoon with a record-breaking win in the 500-yd. freestyle. Team cap)tain, Joe Hulings, gave Coach Jimmy R.atliff a pleasant surprise with a victory in the 50 yd. freestyle. Hulings' time of twenty-four seconds was four tenths of a second shy of the school record. Hulings finished second in the 200-yd. backstroke after leading for 150 yards. He missedl his next to last turn and lost the race to De thorne of The Citadel whom he has never beaten, but his time broke the school record by eight seconds. The Gamecocks won four of the eleven events, but they had to con cede the two relays andl the diving to The Citadel. Hlulings and E v a n s scored twenty-three points between them.

This would cause no interest luring the recruiting season except hat Blocker is a Negro. He is the first Negro to be ac ively recruited by an Atlantic ;oast Conference school. Blocker stands 6-5 and weighs 17. During the past season he tccumulated over 1500 yards on otal offense at halfback and luarterback at Barr Street High n Lancaster. He has been called one of the reatest athletes ever to come out >f the State of South Carolina. Blocker was visited by Wake s'orest's Coach Billy Hildebrand. Blocker was also contacted by wo other ACC schools, Maryland nd N. C. State. He has been visiting other cam muses such as Indiana, Michigan ;tate, Stanford, and Southern Cal. During the football season, it vas mentioned that Blocker might Lttend Indiana, where his coach, toosevelt Gilliam, did graduate vork. This is still a possibility. Blocker ranks ninth in a class of a .00 and is looking for a school that a >ffers scholastic opportunity. E The recruiting follows an an- h iouncement by Wake Forest that n he school would recruit Negroes. The announcement was received b vith approval or no comment by ir he other athletic directors. No op- tl osition was voiced. The first Negro to play football tc n the ACC, halfback Daryl Hill ti s now participating in sprinp t >ractice at the University of Mary and.
