Gamecock BY MIKE EIDSON The Carolina Gamecocks, de pleted by the loss of forward Gary Gregor and guard Jerry Croke t h r o u g h academic ineligibility, e-nter the final month of the sea son with a 4-8 record and a re vamped lineup. South Carolina is 1-6 in Atlantic Coast Conference play. Coach Frank McGuire's Game cocks won one of three games last week, playing without Gregor and Croke who were ruled ineligible for the spring semester. South Carolina beat Richmond 73-60, but fell to Furman 81-66, and Clemson 94-87. Big Jim Fox, the 6-9% senior center from Sandy Spring, Ga., 'eads the Gamecocks in scoring and rebounding with averages of 17.8 and 13.9, respectively. Fox -ulled in 23 rebounds against Fur man, 13 against Richmond and 11 against Clemson. He scored 28 p o i n ts against, Richmond, 24 against Clemson and 14 against Furman. The only other Gamecock still eligible who is scoring in double figures is sophomore forward Al Salvadori with an 11.4 mark. Gregor was averaging 16.7 points per game and Croke 14.2 when they were ruled ineligible. Bruce Wells, a 6-8 sophomore from River Edge, N. J., who dropped out of school in Novem ber, returned for the spring se mester and saw his first action against Clemson. Playing six minutes, Wells hit on all three of his shots from the floor and both attempts from the foul line to tally eight points in his first var sity game. Earl Lovelace, 6-0 sophomore guard from Kingsport, Tenn., had his best night against Clemson, scored 20 points to raise his aver age to 6.5. Charlie Farrell, 6-1 sophomore from Columbia, S. C., who came out for basketball on his own, broke into the starting lineup fol lowing the loss of Croke and was instrumental in the win over Richmond with his ball handling and a couple of timely baskets. Big Lyn Burkholder, 6-8 sopho more from Singers Glen, Va., saw considerable action last week, as did John Schroeder, 6-6 junior from Dundalk, Md., and John Gorsage, 6-6 senior from Indian apolis, Ind. Burkholder scored 14 aga'nst Furman, Schroeder 10 against Richmond, and Gorsage 10 against Clemson. The youthful Clemson Tigers, led by Jim Sutherland's 26 points and 15 rebounds, used a hot shooting hand and a stout defense to race to a 69-44 lead with 11:23 remaining on the clock, substituting freely after that point on the way to a 94-87 victory. The Gamecock team by no means went into the Clem son barn with any intention of losing in such a manner, they played 40 solid minutes of hus tling basketball, but there were simply too many Tigers, with sharp eyes for the baskets on the cold, snowy night. Clemson guard Gary Helms first found the cords for the Tig ers on a 20-foot jumper right after the tipoff. Jim Fox recipro cated this Tiger score in the time PARKING That's Honda.

F~ EARL LOVELACE is a rapidly Kingsport, Tenn. Earl posesses a it took the closely guarded Game :ock guards to get the ball up the !ourt as he powered in a bank ihot and added a free throw pull ing the Cocks into a 3-2 lead. The ,ocks eventually built the one point spread into a 10-5 lead on :he fine play of Fox, who did an >utstanding job for the entire iight, before the Tigers, using a ast break offense and some ac -urate outside shooting, outscored ;he Cocks 14-3 during a four-min ite period to take a six-point lead it 19-13 midway through the first ialf. Fox and guard Earl Lovelace !ontinued to keep the Gamecocks xithin range until Foxie went out -vith foul trouble at 5:30 in the rirst half of play. The Tigers luickly capitalized on the big cen .er's foul troubles to widen their lead from 8 to 13 as they carried )ut a 45-32 lead at halftime. Lovelace and Fox. who posed the >nly problems for the Clemson de rense during the greater part of the game, carried the load in the rirst half with 13 and nine points, respectively. The Tigers returned from the 'wenty-minvte break with added fire in their eyes and evidently idded accuracy in their shooting ibility as they jumped on the socks immediately to increase heir lead to an insurmountable 5 points midway through the inal half. Actually the Game 'ocks under Coach Frank McGuire 'ut the Clemson lead to ten points ifer five minutes of the second aalf, but Sutherland threw in a 'ouple of long ones and Randy W1ahaffey tossed in a basket as he Tigers scored eight straight TICKET ticket for parking on id, In fact, anywhere ght up to class, If you you a funny look, It's ike to have one, too. at ~s and Service ir Drive nfinue ... . . ... . improving sophomore guard from soft touch, and fine jump shot. points extending their lead to 18 points and putting the game out of reach for the Gamecocks. After the Tiger lead hit peak with about eleven minutes remain ing, Lovelace and substitute guard Jim Finnegan began to hit from the top of the circle and the Clem son lead began to slip slowly into the final margin of seven points, which was the smallest that the Gamecocks cut the lead in the sec ond half. John Gorsage also did an excellent job during his ten minute tenture in the game as he hit on five of nine shots and GAMECOCK WOES Continue grabbed several rebounds for the Cocks. The game proved a few im portant points to the Gamecock basketball fortunes for the fu ture. Jimmy Fox, who scored 24 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and played an outstanding de fensive game on the big Clem son center Randy Mahaffey, has improved steadily into one of the conference's top players. Earl Lovelace, the little guard with the springs in his legs, is improving with each game and needs only more experience and someone to teach him how to get open more often so that he can use his accurate shot to score points and to take some of the pressure off Fox. In the preliminary game at Clemson, the baby Tigers showed their teeth as they used hot-shoot ing to upset the undefeated Bid dies by the score of 106-83. The Biddies carried a precarious 51-49 lead into the dressing room at halftime on the fine shooting of Skip Hiarlicka, Frank Standard, and Skip Kickey, but the Cubs roared from behind in the final period scoring 57 points to give them~ their large margin of vic 'ory. Skip Harlicka, fine outside shooter for the Gamecock fresh man team, threw in 31 points in an all-out effort to keep the Bid (lies in the game. Skip Kickey scored 15 points before fouling out in the second half to take runner-up scoring honors for the Biddies.
