Hot Wolfpo Vacation 1 BY TOM HUNTER Sports Writer Too much Larry Lakins was USC's big problem Monday night in Raleigh when the Gamecocks went up against a strong N. C. State team but came down on the short end of a 68-49 score. USC uncovered their longest cold snap of the season when they went scoreless from the field for the final seven and a half min utes of the contest and managed to pick up only seven points from the foul line during the lull. At halftime the sophomore lad en Gamecocks trailed 30-21 and the 'rrolet Impala Sport Coupe foot room. So, besidIes d rides, we now have t do you get by paying nthly payments.

Rate Strong, Tough Foes BY ERNIE TRUBIANO Frank McGuire's young Game cocks play host to ACC opponents Virginia and Maryland at the Field Housc this weekend. The Cavaliers and the Terra pins are currently in a hassel for fifth place in the Atlantic Coast Conference. At this writing both owned identical 1-2 conference records and 4-5 overall slates. South Carolina. on the other ] hand, will be looking for their first ACC victory of the year, and will be out to improve on their 1 2-5 overall mark. Virginia Mac Caldwell, the top Virginia scorer, leads the Cavaliers into town Friday night. The 6-6 sen ior from Kentucky is an old Gamecock nemesis. He will be helped by veterans Ken Coble, 6-3; Jerry Sanders, 6-3; and Bernie Meyers, 6-0. Coach Bud Millikan's hustling young Terps are fresh from an upset win over North Carolina. In fact, Maryland dealt the Tarheels their initial ACC loss of the sea son Monday night when they came from behind to win 76-68 at Col lege Park. Big And Fast The Terps will start three jun iors; 6-8 Rick Wise, 6-8 Gary Ward, and 6-4 Neil Brayton along with two sophomores. 6-7 Jay Mc Millen, and 6-5 Joe Harrington. All five are capable scoiers led by soph McMillen. The Terps' well balanced offense presents a prob lem for the Gamecock defense. Coach McGuire is expected to go along with his sophomore fore court of 6-6 Gary Gregor and 6-9 Al Salvadori; 6-9 Jim Fox at cen ter; and juniors Jerry Croke, 6-0; and Jim Finnegan, 5-10. in the backcourt. ick Routs Veary Birds iihad visions of an upset until with 7:35 remaining the Birds hit their cold spell and could only sit back and watch the Wolfpack run away with their first conference win and sixth overall win of the season. Larry Lakins, '-6 center for Coach Press Maravich, scored the' first ten points for the Wolfpack boosting them to an 11-4 lead. Lakins finished the first half with' 16 points but was forced to sit< out the opening minutes of the second half because of foul trouble. Lakins returned to the game after South Carolina had nar rowed the margin to 38-35 with some 11 minutes remaining in the game and added four more points, giving him a final total of 20. Carolina managed to stay within reach awhile longer, closing the gap to four points on Al Salva dori's field goal, 46-42. That proved to be the final floor shot that Carolina connected on, I however, and the Wolfpack went on to win 68-49. High scorer for Carolina was Gary Gregor with 12, followed by Salvadori with 11 and Jim Fox with 10 points. Both teams had the same num ber- of attempts but USC hit their all-season low from the floor, a mere 27 per cent, while the 'Pack cashed ini on 49 per cent of the 55 shots they put in the air. N. C'. State now stands fourth in the conference and USC an un disputed last with a 'solid 0-4 mar-k in league play. Oh, well. JAMES -----Need We Sc SEAN CO TECN"OLE Features: 12:45-2:50-4 RIT Z: COCKY When I took this job as sports editor two years ago this ebruary, I knew that some day I would step down and nother would assume my position. That day has finally ome and although there is a certain amount of sorrow in his final parting I realize that tonight I meet my last leadline. I was a bursting sophomore in my fourth semester at Carolina when Dennis Myers came to me and asked me to be sports editor, and although I knew nothing about journalism the offer seemed like a chance to get closer to the athletic program at Carolina. My first sports page came out on February 8th. I had a ,ense of accomplishment, but there was still much to learn mnd many hours of work ahead. As I look back to these First issues, I can recall the long hours spent in laying out ,he pages and writing and reading the copy. Those first leadlines were a strain. Spring came and with it "The Cocky Rooster." I was at trackside for the first Carolina Relay Meet despite the deluge of water. I must admit that I have leaned heavily toward track in the spring, possibly too much so, but it is difficult not to write about something that you really love. The semester ended and in my final column I commented that "Next year is always next year, and why didn't we do it this year. I guess nobody will ever know. They can't stop us from trying and to have tried is better than not to have entered at all. We will be there I hope." There was a feeling of optimism for the fall to come in these words. The fall semester of 1963 arrived and here I was back pounding the typewriter. I had dreamed all sum mer about how I would write up the victorious Carolina football team. My hopes turned to frustration as the Gamecocks went through a disastrous 1-8-1 season. The only consolation was that I had become acquainted with many of Carolina's athletes and suffered with them in defeat. The sadness of football season soon passed. There was a new light. His name was Chuck Noe. I feel that I knew Chuck as well as his players and believed in his dream for bringing Carolina a winner. I was with the boys at Chapel Hill for their opening game when they came from nineteen points only to lose and Journeyed to Nashville, Tennessee ait Christmas time for the Vanderbilt Invitational Tourna ment. It was easy to write about Chuck. He had a dynamic personality and could make you understand how he felt. I lost a friend and an inspiration when "The Bantam Rooster" passed from our midst, in January of 1964. The team continued on. I can never forget boys like Ronnie Collins, Bill Yarbrough, Jimmy Collins and Terry Lucansky. I believe that they gave Carolina some of its proudest hours in athletics. The spring semester found me as managing editor of I'he Gamecock, a job which I later resigned to the present >utgoing editor. I returned to my old position as sports 'ditor that April and continued my campaign for track at arolina, which I had begun the year before. The fall of 1964 came and with it my expectations for one last fling at this job. It has been a wonderful semester because of the people that have worked with me. Tom Hunter was always around when needed while Ernie Trubiano, Mike Eidson, Tommy Love and John Lottich did much of the work that had been mine in past semesters. A job which might have become a chore after so long, was a pleasure. .As I look back, I can only~ sa that I hope I have con ributed something to Carolina. I am very thankful that I layet had the opportunity to be so much a part of the ath etic p)rogram. It isn't every student that has the chance o view intercollegiate athletics from both in the stands, in he dressing room and on the practice field. I will never forget people like Coach Bass. It is true that his teams have not produced winning records these past four years, but Marvin Bass has given South Caro lina a fine overall athletic program which is improving each year. Certainly he must be commended for this. South Carolina is on the way up. In four years the ath etic program has made giant strides and with men like farvmn Bass and Frank McGuire at the helm, the Gamecocks re in for some banner years ahead. The time has come t -bid farewell to all you Fightin' G,amecocks. For two years I have stood on the sidelines but now I return to the stands with you. May we all give our hearts and our lungs for Carolina victories. U'SC Rifle Squad Out shoots W of ford The U'. S. C. varsity rifle team beat Wofford College Wednesday.
