As the Gamecock basketball sea
son gets under way, another less
publicized team is also beginning
a season that promises to be a
very good one.
The freshman basketball team
of USC will begin their season at
home against Gordon Military
College Saturday at 6:30 p.m. in
the Carolina Field House.
The freshman starting line-up
consists of four of the very most
sought-after prep school players.
Aside from their superb basket
ball ability, they all made top
grades in prep school.
Thomas Owens and John Roche
were members of the same high
school team at LaSalle Academy
in New York City. That team won
the New York City Championship
and placed second in their county
last year.
Owens, who is a 6-9 forward,
averaged 20 points a game last
year, was chosen most valuable
player in the city and was on the
first string all-city team.
Roche. a 6-2 guard, averaged
18 points a gane, was on the all
city team, and was chosen b,es:
defensive player in New York
City.
Another starter. John Rho-k'
from St. Thomas A,uinas in
Augusta. Ga. He was an A!:

Carolina football, 1967 style-a topsy-turvy year of
thrills, disappointments and glimpses into a great future
came to its sad but not dismal conclusion Saturday as the
Clemson Tigers gunned down USC, 23-12.
The Gamecocks, outmanned and outplayed by the excel
lent Clemson team, went down as they have all year-fight
ing. And though a good try. is no substitute for a good vic
tory, the gutty Gameccoks gave it everything they had . .
and the defeat was respectable.
In fact, the entire season was very respectable. Very
few times this season did the Gamecocks defeat them
selves. Nearly every second of every game they were in
there battling. And in several games-against Duke,
UNC, and Virginia, for instance-it was the extra ef
fort, the trying a little harder, that made the difference.
Several individuals produced outstanding seasons. Sopho
more sensation Warren Muir emerged as one of the confer
ence's leading rushers, and was named to the 33-man All
America team announced by the Detroit Sports Extra. Fred
Zeigler, another sophomore, led the ACC in pass receiving.
Mike Fair, Don Somma, and numerous other Gamecocks
came up with fine years, and with 21 key lettermen return
ing next season, prospects appear bright indeed.
But as the gridiron season closes, the basketball and
swimming seasons are just getting underway.
Coach Frank McGuire and his cagers take the court
against Erskine Saturday to open what promises to be
another successful season.
All-conference candidates Gary Gregor, Jack Thompson
and Skip Harlicka, plus the steady play of Frank Standard
and the expected help of Skip Kickey, pose a formidable
lineup to face any team in the ACC this season.
And the swimmers, for two straight years fourth in
the league, are looking forward to a higher finish this
year.
Indications are for a successful basketball season, a
successful swimming season, and more successes with spring
sports. There's little room for pessimism at Carolina. The
present is very good. And the future holds tremendous
promise.
