South Carolina's freshman bas

points per game with 136 in three

resulted in wins, 99-84 over a
team of Alumni All-Stars. 94-77
over North Greenville Junior Col
lege, and 92-77 over the Furman
Frosh.

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.

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.

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

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.
