Frons The SIDELINES BY ERNIE TRUBIANO Sports Editor In this, my last column for The. Gamecock, I write with mixed emotions. I am somewhat bitter over past administration policies, yet happy over the seemingly bright future ahead for the Carolina athletic program. I am disgusted to think that the change could and should have come ng ago. I am envious that I shall miss the things to come. I am enough of a prognosticator to say that USC will win the ACC basketball crown and finish in the nation's top ten (all hands being eligible). All indications point to a pronounced stress in athletics. In the; two major college sports of basketball and football South Carolina now possesses two of the finest coaches available in Frank McGuire and Paul Dietzel. They form what I consider the best leadership com bination in the country. The time for second-guessing is over; the time for winning is at hand. But winning takes material-no matter how great the coaches. Everett Case's leaving three-fourths of his will to his former N. C. State players is recent testimony of the value of an athlete. And so. for my swan song column, I am also nostalgic. I have pur Oosely saved for the last the athletes who have given me cause to % rite about-those who have given me the greatest moments and the fondest memories in this job. Some of those on my all time list were short on ability but long in heart (John Schroeder and Jim Fox). Others were handicapped by lack of size, but stood tall nevertheless (Mike McGuinness, Bill Yar brough, and Frank Standard); others were handicapped by injuries (Jim Johnson and Jerry Soles); and yet another by tragedy (Mike Johnson). Some combined desire and love of the game to stand out (Joe Tonelli, Jule Smith, Jimmy Collins and Fete Divenere); others possessed sheer natural ability (J. It. Wilburn. Benny Galloway, and Mike Grosso); still others I have to admire as model athletes (Stan Juk, Bobby Bryant, and Loveard McMichael). Two stand in a class all b) themselves (11oh Crombie and Dan Reeves), and two others are destined to join them (Mike Fair and Jack Thompson). Columnist Grantland Rice said, "It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, but how you play the game." I respectfully disagree that this is too soft an attitude. Alabama leader Bear Bryant, among others, has said, "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing." This, I think, is too hard. But Boston Coach Red Auerbach once said. "Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser." It is this creed I hope Carolina athletes will follow.

Ed M a r k s, Peter Kowzun, Wayne Donelon, and Frank Cos tello are the Maryland athletes ex pected to make good showings. Also, among the favorites are Rod Stewart and Paul Rogers of Duke, Art Swarts and Bob Taylor of USC, Ron England and Stuart Corn of N. C. State, Edward Pool and Hayes Cone of Clemson, and UNC's Mike Williams. Others worthy of mention are James Lee of Maryland and Ful ton Dukes of USC. Marks, whose CSRR perform ance won him that meet's out standing athlete award, had a triple jump in the CSRR of 48-7, nearly one foot better than the ACC record. lie also took a first in the Penn Relays, as did Swarts, who holds the ACC meet record of 175-1 and the Rex Enright Center record of 18.1-814 in the discus. Stewart holds the ACC meet record of 57-9 . and the Enright Center mark of 58-5-'t in the shot put. I[e also placed in the Penn Relays, coming in second to Michi gan's Gordon Harvey, whom he defeated in the SCRI. Among the principal double threat men are Lee, )ukes, Cone England, and Dave )unlaway of Duke. All have official times ir the 220 of around 22 seconds and are within ole- to two-tenths of the 9.6 times of Dukes and Lee ir the 100-yard dash. The greatest multi-threat man is probably 'SC's own Bob Tay. lor who runs in the mile relay 880, mile run, and also partici pates in the triple jump.
