Sports Fditor A sprained ankle may be the key to how well the USC tennis team fares in next Wednesday's season opener against Furman in Green ville. The hopes of Coach Bill Mc Clain's netmen, all six of them. rest in part on Ned Burke, the number one player on the team last year. But Burke, a junior southpaw from Richmond, Va., sprained his ankle before Christmas and it is still giving him trouble. It has caused him to miss a great deal of practice lately. Coach McClain says Burke is "the key to what we do. We need him terribly as a doubles player and his strength in the singles will also be missed if he is unable to play." Adding to Coach McClain's prob lems is the fact that two of his better players have been lost for the season, one due to eligibility and another because of disciplinary action. But the five remaining players and Burke, if his ankle heals, will have their work cut out for them. They face four nationally ranked teams this season, two of which are from the Atlantic Coast Con ference. Clemson, North Carolina, Michi gan State and Davidson are pres ently ranked among the top tennis teams in the nation. Two of the p 1 aye rs who will probably add to the team's strength in both the doubles and singles matches are Larry Buhr man of Coral Gables, Fla., and Jay Schlosser of Atlanta, Ga. Buhrnan was twice ranked fif teenth in the nation in junior's singles. Schlosser was at one time ranked twentieth in the nation in the same division and is a former National J u n i o r College Singles Champion. Together they were at one time the nationally seventh-ranked play ers in the junior doubles. Joining Buhrman and Schlosser as the top three players on the team is Bobby Heald from Lynch burg, Va., who is presently the second-ranked men's singles player in Virginia. He has been sixth-ranked in the men's singles of the Middle At lantic Lawn Tennis Association. Also on the team is Stuart Reyn olds of Anniston, Ala., an honors student who has made only one "B" since coming to Carolina and the best high school player in Alabama two years ago. Rounding out the team is Henry Ragle of Richmond, Va., who was ramnked seventh at one time in MA LT A singles for men. )SOfl, G T' h o m p s o n, a junior from Brooklyn, N. Y., has been the' Ganmecocks' ace playmaker since his sophonore year. The Thompson-Skip Hiarlicka guard combination is generally considered one of the finest in the ACC. Thompson's ball han dling has made the Gaamecocks' "fast break" a weapon feared by opponen ts. Gary Gregor, a 6-7 junior from S. Charleston, W. Va., is the ACC's top rebounder with a 13.8 av er a ge and scores in double figures for the Game cocks. Duke's Bob Verga, the A CC's leading scorer with a 26.3 aver age, was the only unanimous selection of the 73 members of the A tl antic Cast Sports W rit ers Assoeiation for the f i r s t team. Also named to the first team were Paul Long of Wake Forest, Randy Mahaffey of Clemson, and North Carolina's L a r r y Miller and Bob Lewis. all, Te: Opei Frank Standard Signals For Juniper In Win O0 Four Inde Remain ( Four teams remain undefeated I) as t h e independent intramural vi basketball season nears the half- , ta way mark.
