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.

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.

acquisition of this considerable
talent is USC Coach Bill McClain,
the tireless young Florida State
graduate, who serves his players
as their coach, counselor and
friend. 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.

boy, ranks just behind Heald in
the Virginia Junior ratings, cur
rently holding the number two
position. 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.

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.

one yard short of the goal by John i
Griest and Joe Issac. Citadel took
possetwion at the one, and, on the
s e c o nt d play frin scriminage, I
fumbled to give Carolina conItrol,
first and goal at the nine. Fullback
Earl Hunter plowed to the one, and(] I
quarterback Toy McCord sneaked
over to put the Iiddies ahead. 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

The six-point lead was very
short-lived, h o w e v e r. The USC
kickoff was taken in by Joe Issac,
175-lb. speedster from Georgetown,
who streaked 95 yards through the

and into the end zone. Heckham's
kick went awry, and the score was
tied again. 13-13.
The Hiddies were stopped at the
Citadel 38 on their next drive and
had to punt. Ron Hunch downed
the kick at the Citadel two, and

upset. 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.
