Burke Is
Key, Says
Net Coach
By TONY SMITH
Asst. 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
