The Gamecocks take on N. C. State while upstate rival Clemson tangles with North Carolina Fri day night at the Charlotte Coli seurn. With North Carolina, Clemson, and N. C. State fighting for second seeding in the upcoming ACC Tournament, this weekend's games take on added significance. The Fighting Gamecocks will be trying to avenge previous losses to both UNC and N. C. State. North Carolina features the strong one-two punch of Bob Lewis, the ACC's top scorer at 28.7 PPG and Larry Miller (22.8). Mark Mirken and Bob Bennett are adequate rebounders, and Tom Gauntlett adds another outside threat. State's well-balanced attack is sparked by Pete Coker, Eddie Riedenbach, Larry Worsley, Hal Blondeau, and Tommy Mattocks who combine to make the Wolf pack a very formidable opponent indeed. Clemson, which has surged into a tie for second place in the con ference, boasts of the services of some sometimes-erratic but other wise excellent basketball players. Among them are center Randy Mahaffey, forwards Ken Gardner and Gary Helms, and guards Jim Sutherland and Buddy Benedict. The sophomore - studded Game cocks counter with a starting five of Al Salvadori, John Schroeder, Frank Standard, Skip Harlicka and Jack Thompson.

The Gamecocks played well against Duke giving rise to hopes that they will be able to make a stretch drive. After the Friday night games, Clemson pairs off against State while USC meets the Tar Heels in Saturday night activity. Blue Devils Edge Gamecocks 41-38 In Close Bautle By THE WHISTLER Sports Writer A dramatic Gamecock rally fell just short last Monday night as Duke's second-ranked Blue Devils held on for a 41-38 victory before a full house at Duke Indoor Stadium in Durham. USC resorted to the extra-slow, deliberate style of play that they used in defeating Penn, and it al most brought them the second triumph that no one thought pos sible. The Blue Devils, with Bob Verga watching the action from the bench, took an early lead and maintained it throughout the game, stretching it to 12 points at 32-20 early in the second half. Steve Vacendak and Jack Marin combined to keep the Devils just out of reach. Vacendak popped in 15 points, and Marin scored 11 and added five rebounds. For Carolina, Skip Harlicka, shooting sparingly but finding the mark often, finished with 18 points. His backcourt mate Jack Thompson, had eight points. - -- ---- -- -- -- -- --- )Nt ,new applica to assert your this coupon nagazi ne. ted ZIP Code s will be at your or: Ch.E., M.E., y, physics, and Du Pont is an Dyer. thrnounh Charnictruv AL SALVADORI SUBURBAN ST1 OPENS UPTOWN BRA Andrew G.

SMITH Sports Writer Mike Grosso scored a season's high of 30 points last Saturday afternoon in the Field House to lead the South Carolina freshmen to a 79-54 decision over Anderson .unior College. The 6-foot-9 Grosso, averaging 20 points and 25 rebounds per game, raked in 28 rebounds to boost his average in that depart ment also. He was assisted on the boards by teammates Bob Felter and Charlie Vacca. Felter man aged 18 points and Vacca had 15 to go with as many rebounds. The scrappy Anderson team jumped off to an early lead as the Biddies definitely had difficulty finding the basket. They soon found it and charged to a 33-19 lead at the end of the first half. In the second half they continued their scoring pace and easily over came the Anderson team for a 79-54 victory. The only bright spot for the Anderson team was the combined scoring efforts of Joe Ellis and Gary Adams. Ellis had 17 points and Adams gained 15 to spark the Anderson offensive.
