USC, however, made it clear from the beginning that they were the team to watch. On the open ing day Carolina rammed Rhode Island right out of the building 86-68 as Tom Owens scored 29 points and had 24 rebounds. This much had been expected. But then the surprises began to happen. Carolina almost turned what was supposed to be a losing cause for the Gamecocks into a rout be. fore St. Joseph's rejuvenated Hawks roared back from an 18 point deficit in the semi-final game's closing minutes.

Once again it was ball control that provided Carolina that "some. thing extra" which the Gamecocks needed to take a nationally ranked team. John Roche controlled the tempo of the contest while scoring 24 points as the Gamecocks stunned LaSalle, 62-59, and be. came only the second team out side of Quaker City to win the title. Louisville won the tourna ment in 1966. The Gamecocks took an carly 9-8 lead and were never behind. The contest, however, was a nerve-wracking affair to the very end. LaSalle pulled within three points, 56-53 with 1:32 left, before Roche and the team took over and slowed the pace again with a steady ball-control game. Bill Walsh put the game out of the eager grasp of the Explorers with two final free throws which gave the Gamecocks a 62-57 lead. Roche was the unanimous choice of all journalists covering the game as the tournament's most valuable player. He also earned a spot on the all tournament team along with teammate Tom Owens. Owens received more deserved laurels when he was named the ACC offensive player of the week for his su p e r b performances against Rhode Island and St. Joseph's. He was deemed this honor by the Atlantic Coast Sportswriters Association. 4AN - ' TO STUDENTS 1(11W!" RGO HARRFISOn At Your day.

Amateur Boxing Taught By SUE TANNER Staff Writer In the Memorial Center each week practices a group of young men with the purpose of going to the regional and perhaps to the finals of the Golden Gloves tournament. Directing the group is Henry Nilson, former Golden Gloves champion who Is assisting, at the moment, two groups, one of *le mentary school age boys who learn the rudiments and basic skills as well as sparring with each other and an older group who are in serious contention for com petition. Nilson said that the group would be "traveling throughout the state and would be going to the regionals to be held in Kno ville, Tenn. next spring. Next ye& they will be traveling throughout the state on a competitive basis. "At this time," he continued, "all interested should come out an all is in the preliminary stage, and if they begin at this time they will be starting when everyone is in the elementary stage and thus, if they are beginners, nothing will be lost." Open class boxing which was eliminated for such a time is now being reintroduced and "this is the beautiful thing about it," said Nilson. "Open class boxing is be ing given rebirth. Although it was discontinued in the past, there is now a resurge of amateur boxing, and today it is one of the fastest growing amateur sports." Speaking of the qualities re quired of a boxer, he elaborated, saying, "It takes many qualities to be a boxer, among them timing, speed, coordination, footwork, and psychology, as well as desire and talent. However, of most impor tance I the ability of the athlete to compensate for his deficiencies and to find his particular style and the combination which will enable him to win." "Of course, there will always be those who will never develop into %. champions," he said, "and there still is the enjoyment of the sport, however, for those seriously in. terested, no one should be de terred because he is lacking in some regards when he very well may have outstanding qualities in another area."
