Rount Carolina's basketball t e a m, sporting seven lettermen, opened practice for its second season under Coach Frank McGuire Oct. 15. The Gamecocks and other mem bers of the Atlantic Coast Con ference will work until Dec. 1, when the seAson begins. USC will play a 22-game schedule, includ ing 14 conference games, plus the ACC Tournament, scheduled for March 3-5 at Raleigh, N. C. McGuire expects considerable improvement over last year's 6-17 record, although the Gamecocks should still be a couple of years away from being a conference con tender. The Gamecodks should be most improved in the backcourt, with Jack Thompson and Skip Harlicka up from last year's 14-2 freshman team to go along with a more ex;perienced Earl Lovelace who averaged 9.6 points per game as a sopIomore in addition to carrying the ball-handling load. Perhaps the biggest task facing McGuire and assistants Don Walsh and Buck Freeman will be replac ing 6-9% Jim Fox, last year's sen ior pivotman who averaged 19.8 points and 13.6 rebounds per game. Most likely candidate at the moment is junior Lyn Burk holder, a 6-8, 225-pound "Moose," who played 152 minutes as Fox's understudy last year and scored 58 points. Besides Lovelace and Burk holder returning lettermen in clude junior forward Al Salvadori (6-9), who averaged 11.0 points per game as a sophomore; senior forward John Schroeder (6-6), who averaged 5.4; backcourt men Charlie Farrell (3.5) and Jim Fin negan (5.2), and forward-center Bruce Wells (6-8), who played only 50 minutes last year and scored 23 points. Besides Thompson and Harlicka, s o p h o m o r e prospects include Frank Standard (6-4); Larry Womack (6-2); Skip Kickey (6-8); John Fairclough (6-3); and Bob Gorgrant (6-2). All but Gorgrant, who missed last season with a back injury, played on the 1964-65 freshman team. Outside the ACC this winter, the Gamecocks have two games each with Furman and Erskine, plus single games with New York U n i v e r s i t y, Pennsylvania, As sumption College and Florida Southern. NYU will be met in Madison Square Garden, Dec. 16; and Pennsylvania in the Philadel phia Palestra, Dec. 11.

Playing hard, clean ball each team tried valiantly for a score. . . . WHAT? . . . Believe it or not, the above statements are true, except for one factor-time. The first sentence is a portion of the lead story of the 1912 Carolina Home coming game; the second starts to describe action of the 1933 classic. (In the latter. USC was led by the stellar exploits of one Earl Clary, the Gaffney Ghost). . . . Frankly, these accounts of heroes and hoorahs taken from the dusty pages of past Ganecocks, bring but a tiny tear to our eye. But there are people, other than us young'ens, who remember the day when leather-helmeted Gamecocks (or Game Cocks) took to the field in what would now be an un recognizable Carolina Stadium (or simply P'air Grounds). This year's Romecoming is one of many for some Carolina grads. Other traditional games, like Clemson on Big Thursday and The Citadel at Orangeburg, should bring back memories. Probably one of the most mem orable names in the long history of Carolina football is that of Rex Enright, the beloved men tor whose name crowns the Round House. . . . As the years pass in retrospect, uniforms be come stranger, p I a y e r s and teams smaller. (The 1925 squad consisted of only 26 players). World War II was hard on the football program because poten tial players belonged to Uncle Sam, but Navy trainees were given permission to switch to garnet and black uniforms on Saturdays. In 19-11 one of Co lumbia's opponents was the 176th Infantry--we lost. TIo recall all of the Homecoming games woIll fill pages, so we chose a few more recent games at random. . . . In 1I9.j9 homecomers got their first look at fabulous Steve Wadiak, the Cadillac, as he r knowledge Electric nalry (lec tronric telephone~ switCh. fgtiit stnr dsr( for yourselt, both J)W?'of ronry, we siould talk. vidt onrnuniicat uons Job) as lit of the Bell Sytemr pirovidies i's fur fest moTvmg ( rree for Get youJr c opiy of fne WV stern )poir trut e'; hoiiuMt f om your r.

North Carolina took an 18-0 licking in '53, as the Oocks missed all three points-after-touchdown. . . . The game of 1957 was one of the most exciting, with Maryland coming out on top 10-6.. . . The following year Alex Hawkins, King Dixon, and John Saunders led an excel. lent USC squad to a 28-14 win over Virginia. . . . Homecoming in 1961 (following a 42-0 loss to LSU, by the way) saw a shut-out at the hands of UNC. . . . Bounc ing back the next year we mauled Virginia 40-6. . . . The '63 game was a real thriller with North Carolina winning 7-0 on a score with only 1:48 remaining in the game . . . And last year a victory over The Citadel broke a distress ing Gamecock losing streak. That brings us up to the pres ent. We think this Homecoming should be pleasing to every- S one-except Maryland. It's true that we don't like to make pre dictions about our own games, but we can't help but feel that the Cocks have "come into their own." If that means what we think it does, Carolina will not only be tough out there tomor row, but will be tough for the remainder of the season. So grads and undergrads take not tice: the Gamecocks have come home to the house that our own history built, and they're gonna keep right on building. . . . Now don't thet just git ya right here?
