Freshman Rank Am4 By JOHN LOTTICH Staff Writer One of the most impressive groups of freshmen ever to play tennis in the Atlantic Coast Con ference has come to USC this year, and their presence should be fair warning to every other school in the region that Carolina Game cocks, as far as tennis is concerned, are on the way. The man responsible for the n Exhibition Scheduled For Today By JOHN IAYITICH Staff Writer USC Tennis Coach Bill McClain puts both his freshman and varsity teams on public display this after noon at 3:30 in an exhibition match on the Maxcy Gregg Courts. McClain urges all students to attend and get an idea of the progress being made by Carolina in tennis. Ie USC tennis frosh are the best netter ever assembled here, featur ing Bobby Heald, Larry Buhrman, Jay Schlosser, Stuart Reynolds, Janes Denoon, Henry Ragle, Billy Cain and Jeff Ream. They will face a spunky, improved varsity which includes Kay Howard, Frank Munn, Ned Burke, Charlie Edmonds, Brens<m Smith, Al Cox, Henry Hartley, Roy Powell and Rick Porter. McClain himself will play for the varsity in this exhibition. A I n o a t all the fresunen have achieved high ranking in their home states and in the junior rankings of various tennis associations. In addi tion, Schlosser, from Miami Beach, won the National Junior College Singles title last year at Flint, Michi gan, and definitely bears watching. The varsity, constantly improving, won three team matches last season after almost four years of consistent defeat and Jould go even farther this year.

McClain, beginning his third year of masterminding Caro lina's tennis fortunes, has recruited seven boys who will most assuredly rank, in the years to follow, as the finest assembled in Gamecock his tory. It is practically impossible to rate any one of these boys over another, so they will be nwntioned in alphabetical order. Larry Buhrman, 18, hails from Coral Gables, Florida. Among Buhrman's other accomplishments, he was twice rated fifteenth na tionally in the 16 years and under age group, and he holds a 6-0, 6-2 victory over the nation's eighth ranked Junior (18 and under) player, Chris Brown of Chatta nooga. Buhrman is indeed a sea soned and polished performer. Billy Cain of Darlington, South Carolina, has probably inherited his fine tennis ability from his father, the principal of Darling ton High School, who, along with Sam Daniels, holds the State Senior Men's Doubles Champion ship. Billy himself is one of the better Junior players in South Carolina. James Denoon, one of a group of three USC players from Rich mond, Virginia, ranks very high in the Virginia Junior ratings, and is steadily improving. I)enoon, a product of Richmond's Thomas Jefferson High School, is ranked 21st in the Junior ratings of the Middle Atlantic Lawn Tennis As sociation. Bobby Heald, a native of Lynch burg, Virginia, is the number one ranking Junior singles player in the state of Virginia, and he is the number two Junior in the Middle Atlantic Lawn Tennis Association. Heald also holds a 6-0, 6-3 triumph >ver the M.A.L.T.A.'s number two rated men's player.

He is also rated number seven among Juniors in the M.A.L.T.A. Ragle, Denoon, and Ned Burke, a member of the USC varsity, are all from Richmond, and Ragle, like Denoon, attended Thomas Jefferson High School. They have played together for a long time, and both are top-notch material. Stuart Reynolds comes from An niston, Alabama. He is ranked number four in Alabama in the Juniors, but is behind three of the finest eighteen-and-under play ers in the country. Before coming to USC, Stuart made quite a name for himself in Alabama high school circles. Last year he was runner up in the singles division of the state high school tournament, and won the doubles crown for the second straight year. In addition, he and his father are the current Alabama Father and Son cham pions. Young Jay Schlosser from Miami Beach, Florida, is a real gem. While playing in the sixteen-and under age group, S-hlosser achieved national rankings of 22nd and 23rd. Last spring he captured the singles title in the National Junior College Tournament at Flint, Michigan, and teamed with another player to take third in the doubles. Another boy, Jeff Ream, a fresh man from Shaw Air Force Base, has recently gone out for the team, and McClain, with not much time to size him up yet, remarks, "He looks like he could develop into a pretty good player." SPORTS MI PU'INS BLOCKED The Atlantic Coast Conference doesn't list a record for most punts blocked by a team, but if such a mark were to be established, Caro lina's aggressive young Gamecocks would like to submit their qualifi cations. Coach Marvin Bass' team, using a 10-man rush frequently, has blocked four enemy punts in six games. Sophomore safetyman Roy Don Reeves blocked one against Duke and another against LSU; senior end Doug Senter got one against Wake Forest; and sopho more end Leroy Bailey blocked another against Wake Forest. The Gamecocks have converted three of the four blocked punts into touchdowns.

Frosh Gr Tie Citan By RANDY 1ANEY Staff Writer Carolina's freshmen put their first points of the season on the board last Thursday night, Oct. 21, but were matched by The Citadel Bulipups and had to settle with a 13-13 tie. The Biddies were spared defeat when the Bullpups failed to capita lize on three scoring opportunities. -Jim Gahagan, 6-1, 186-lb halfback from Bluffton, S. C., missed on three field goal attempts in the fourth quarter, one inside the 10 yard line. Tie Biddies moved the ball well in the first quarter, traveling 57 yards in 15 plays before Larry Hunter's [SCELLANY spectators in Baton Rouge, La., can be attributed to the cool man ner in which the sophomore-domi nated Gamecocks entered the game. When asked by a sportswriter if he expected to be "scared" on play ing in Tiger Stadium, quarterback Mike Fair replied, "No, sir, I ex pect to have fun." FORMER GAMECOCKS Former Carolina trainer and boxing coach Jess Alderman and ex-Gamecock fullback Red Harri son were among the small band of Carolina rooters among the 66,000 spectators who saw the Gamecocks battle LSU last Saturday night in Baton Rouge, La. Alderman, now a Ph.D, heads the physical educa tion department at Baton Rouge High School, and Harrison is a Louisiana businessman. BABY GIRL BORN While USC tackle John Ewing of Hartsville was in Baton Rouge, La., for the Gamecocks' football game with LSU, his wife gave birth to a baby girl, their first child. INTERfF1PTION Carolina defensive backs have intercep)ted five passes this season and have made long runbacks on all of them. The longest was a 39 yard return by corner back Bobby Bryant last S a tur d ay nig h t against LSU. gh ire cenESS) .TECHNICOLOR* __ECHNWSCOPE* ALE' IS A N'S 'GOLOFINGER' OF COURSE ? 7 wmecock Staff Photo by Hockholy) NNIS TEAM.

The extra-point attempt by Dave Crant soared through the uprights, and r Carolina led 7-0 with 5:06 remaining in the quarter. Early in the second quarter, Carolina punted to The Citadel, giving the Bullpups a first down at their own 43. On the first play from scrimmage, Jim McMillan, 6-0, 181-lb. from Walterboro, S. C., streaked between two Carolina de fenders and into the open near the USC 20. Quarterback Billy Swails from Mt. Pleasant, S. C., sailed a 45-yard pass into McMillan's arms, but the wet pigskin slipped out of his grasp. The Bullpups did not threaten again until late in the second quar ter. A drive originating at The Citadel 37 moved 63 yards in 12 plays on the running of Gerald Cook and Steve Oliver, climaxed by an eight-yard scoring toss from Swails to McMillan. Bill Heck ham's placement locked the score at 7-7 with only -57 seconds left in the half. A blocked punt gave the Bidklies a fine scoring opportunity in the third quarter. With fourth and 14 at his own 31, Steve Oliver dropped back to punt for The Citadel, but Gene Schwarting, 6-1, 200-lb. tackle from Bamnberg, S.

Ron Hunch downed the kick at the Citadel two, and the Hullpups went to work with their hacks to the wall.

But it was not to be, as Charlie McClendon's Tigers showed their greatness by striking back with force and speed for the touch down that sent then ahead for keeps. IABIANC SCORES Nelson Stokley, a young sopho more who beat out seasoned vet erans Pat Screen and Billy Ezell for his job, passed LSU to the Gamecock one from where Danny LeBlane p I u n g e d over for the touchdown. Highlight of the drive was a 45-yard pass play from Stokle.y to ace r e e e i v e r Doug Moreau. The home team added an in surance six-pointer early in the fourth quarter. Stokley swept end from the two to cap an 80-yard nine-play drive. They had scored their touchdown midway of the first quarter when the amazing Stokley zeroed in on 5-9 scatback Joe Labruzzo and hit him with a 15-yard scoring pass. M o r e a u added all three extra points. PENALTIES The G m e e 0c k s, it is almost unanimously agreed, played a fine ball game. but penal. ies at crucial stages hurt the Birds' momentum and set them back. Quarterback Mike Fair. who showed still more ip rovement and ran brilliantly all night, drove USC to the LSU 32 after State's 2nd score, where an offensive pass interference penaity killed the drive when com bined with another 15-yarder for clipping. On another occasion, a Fair pass to Ben Garnto carried to the LSU six, but the officials ruled that the pass touched a Car olina lineman (1)ave Berryi before it got to Garnto, and the ensuing ineligible receiver penalty snuffed out that threat. LAST PLAY On the next to last play of the game, Fair hammered his way into the end zone, but the score was nullified by an illegal procedure penalty. and Fair was thrown for a loss on the next and final play. Coach Marvin Bass expressed less than C o i p 1 e t e satisfaction with the blocking of his offensive line, but attributed much of that to LSI''s tough defense. Senter and Reeves were 1:SC defensive standouts, with Reeves amassing 32 defen_siv,e points. DEADLINE All sports cop.s must be sub mitted to the Gamecock office by 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday nights.
