The Frank McGuire basketball
!ra at South Carolina begins this
week. The man whose name is
magic in basketball will devote
his talenti and charm to building
-he Gamecocks into what people
hope will he a championship con
tender. McGuire calls his task,
"the greatest challenge I have
Laced in twenty-five years of
coaching."
"The program will take ap
proximately five years, the same
as at St. John's and North Caro
lino. Our facilities here will be
a handicap in recruiting. The
small Field House is not impres
sive to boys looking at the cam
pus." said McGuire.
The new head coach and associ
ate athletic director brings to
South Carolina an almost unbe
lievable winning record in the
high school, college and profes
sional ranks. His total record of
.1-12 wins and 163 defeats includes
a 125-39 record at Xavier High
School in New York City, 103-35
in five seasons at St. John's Uni
versity and 164-58 in nine years
at UNC. Ilis Philadelphia War

ton Celtics for the Eastern Divi
sion title in 1962.

trie to hook up with Davis or
Sharp often, and Zone 10's small,
but hard-hitting line prevented
SAE's offense from mounting any
kind of attack. The longest gain
for either team in the first half
was a thirty-yard run by SAE
quarterback Tom Irick.
Ice Broken
Following a great halftime show
which featured the passing catch
ing abilities of officials Otto
Tufenkjian and Dave Breinig,
along with spectator Dick Christo
pher, the fraternity titlists broke
the ice in the third quarter.
Dennis Davis punted for Zone
10. Dave Baldwin gathered the
ball at his own 35 and ran to his
left. Jackie Seawell moved quickly
to his right, took the handoff from
Baldwin and shot up the sideline
behind three blockers, going 55
yards to score. Irick's pass for the
extra point was no good.

ball players. It remains to be
seen whether this will be their

typo ballplayers and will help
greatly. The big man, Jim Fox, is
a puzzle, but could be the key to
the entire season. Lovelace and
Walker, who are slated to see
limited action, will gain experi
ence as the year progresses.
A Big Job

the ensuing kick-off and drove 80
yards to tie the score. Quarterback
Moultrie directed the drive with
magnificent poise, mixing passes
to Frank Smith and Davis, along
with his own tremendous running
ability. Gary Labruyere, subbing
for the injured Buddy Sharp,
faked his way into the open and
grabbed a Moultrie bullet pass for
a 25-yard touchdown play to com
plete the drive.
It was practically the first time
this season that Labruyere had
played offense. He had been used
almost exclusively as a defensive
linebacker but was pressed into
service for the numerically small
Zone 10 contingent wvhen Sharp
was injured in the third period.
Moultrie, running for the extra
point, had his flag grabbed by
Seawell just shy of the goal. The
third quarter ended in a 6-6 tie.
Lasti Score
Late in the fourth period, SAE
aided by a 15-yard penalty against
Zone 10 for tackling, moved in

faked a hand-off to Seawvell, looked
across the middle then lofted a
pass to Baldwin who had gotten
behind Davis at the ten. The extra
point was no good andl SAE led
12-6.
The scrappy Independents were
not out of it yet. Moultrie, throw
ing to his favorite receiver Davis,
had Zone 10 knocking on the door:

Tough Opener
Satourday afternoon the 1964
version of the Carolina Swimming
Team1 will open the season with a
dual meet with highly regarded
North Carolina at the Chapel Hill
pool. The Gamecocks under new
head swimming coach Jimmy
Thompson could not have picked
a tougher task than to tackle the
Tarheel team which is now ranked
in the top ten in the country.
The Carolina team has some
good, gutty performers this year,
but they have practically no depth
whatsoever. A good college swim
ming team should consist of at
least 16 boys while this year's
squad has only eight competing
swimmers. Even though the team
does lack this needed depth, they
will enter this first meet of the
year with a clean bill of health.
Coach Thompson believes that all
the boys will be at peak health
for the meet.
The USC swimmers will have to
compete with one of America's
best freestyle swimmers in Harri
son Merrill from Atlanta, Georgia,
who was nicked by a tenth of a
second in his attempt to make
the victorious American Olympic
swim team.
John Evans will be forced to
swim many events at Chapel Hill
as he must attempt to make up
for the lack of manpower on the
team. le will compete in the med
ley relay, butterfly, breaststroke,
and the individual medley.
The first home meet will he held
in the school pool next Tuesday
afternoon at 3:00 p.m. The swim
mers hope to see a full house of
Carolina students at this first
home meet. The outstanding
Carolina freshman team will also
make their initial appearance as
they take on the Davidson fresh
men.

The game startedl off slow with
the Flying Fleet jumping off to a
th ree-p)oint lead dlue mainly to
mistakes and careless play on thec
part of the Gamecocks. Erskine
worked the ball well, picking up
most of its points on shots from
behind the screen with Mize do
ing most of the damage, but the
strength of the Birds finally be
gan to show. .Jim Fox consis
tently hit on his short jump shot
and drove around his man for
easy layups, along with completely
dominating the boards. The Game
cocks left at halftime with a
comfortable twelve-point lead.
Erskine seemed to have re
groupedl their forces as they
roared back to within eight points
with a little more than ten min
utes remaining in the game, but
Carolinma caught fire again and
gradlually pulled away, finishing
the game with the largest margin

game being against Clemson, when he passed and ran for
116 yards and was named the outstanding player.
The 1964 season started well for Reeves. He com
pleted nine of nineteen passes against Duke. The quar
terback, who had been known so well for his running
throughout his sophomore year, suddenly blossomed
into what proved to be the best passer in Carolina foot
ball history. He finished out the season with 83 com
pletions out of 164 attempts for 974 yards. For several
weeks he was ranked among the top ten passers in the
country. But fate would not give Dan Reeves a full
season. Struggling for the goal line after breaking
through the Wake Forest line, Dan suffered a severe
foot injury. At first it was felt that Reeves would miss
the Clemsen game, but even an injury could not keep
this boy from playing. He was working out within four
days and ready to go against the Tigers.
It was obvious that Reeves was no running threat when
he was thrown for a big loss the first time that he rolled
out to pass, but in the second quarter he picked up eleven
yards on a third down situation and might have broken
away had he two good legs. Reeves seemed to be the differ
ence in the Carolina offense as the Gamecocks moved the
iootball when he was in the game. In the third quarter the
Deacon took the Gamecocks to the shadow of the Clemson
goal, but a mix-up on signals and a fumble ended the drive
.just a few yards shy of the goal.
This was to be the last play for Dan Reeves as he
left the field for the final time. Jim Rogers came in
and did the rest. It seems ironic that such a great foot
ball player as Dan Reeves should how out on such a low
note. Those of us who have been claswimates of Don will
not remember him for his linish, but for the way he
started as a young sophomore and the football he played
under the most trying circumstances.
Two p)lays stand out in my mind as characteristic of
the wvay Dan Reeves played the game. I will never forget
his 38-yard run through the entire N. C. State team in 1962,
and the strike that he threwv to Robby Bryant against Wake
Forest. People may not rate the D)eacon with Stev'e Wadiak
or Alex Hawkins because they played with winners, but
sonmc credlit must be given to a main who passed for more
yards, had more completions and more total offense than
any other player in Carolina history des5pite the fact that
he p)layed in three of the leanest years of football at S. C.
Reeves was more than just a football player. He
was a competitor who gave his all every minute of every
game. Admittedly, we all cursed him at one time for his
fumbles, but the D)eacon always came back. He gave us
brilliant running and passing in his long frustrating
career. For this we cannot forget him.
I can still see him trudging out of D)eath Valley with
the echo of the crowd still fresh in mind. The leader, w~ho
had stood aside, while another man led his men to victory.
The man who had mixed brilliance with frustration left
the field for the last time. I think that I speak for all stu
dlents when I say, to you. Dan Reeves, "good-bye, IDeacon
Dan. Y ou have shown us strength and character. You have
p)layedl the game well. We will not forget you."
