Sports bill By BILL MADDEN While the two final regular season losses that the Game cocks suffered to North Carolina and N. C. State may be a disappointment to many, perhaps A word to the wise might be sufficient to those who say that Frank McGuire doth protest too much. First of all it is sufficient to say that in order to be a good loser you must first of all be a loser-one thing that McGuire is not and never has been. To fully comprehend this man's grip on success you must realize that McGuire has remained a winner through not only his ability as a coach, but also his fierce competitive drive. A true winner abhors defeat and a good loser isn't worth his salt in the competitive world of athletics. South Carolina has been getting dealt a losing hand from the ACC hierarchy right from its existance, but in McGuire the conference has come up against a man who will fight them back and not be pushed around. Because of this USC fans can rely on the fact that as long as McGuire is at South Carolina this institution will never be a doormat for the ACC and the tobacco road big four. CLARIFICATION A clarification is due on a misstatement of fact that appeared here last Friday. Thu $75 student fee that was labeled an athletic fee is in actuality an activity fee with the athletic department receiving only a $12 dollar cut of the stipend. The remainder is divided up among the various student activities. ALL-ACC TEAM Shortly prior to the commencement of the ACC tourna ment in Charlotte the conference will announce its all-star starting five. About the only certain "first teamers" will bc South Carolina's John Roche and North Carolina's Charlic Scott. The remaining three positions will be up for grabs among UNC's Bill Bunting, Maryland's Will Hetzel, Clemson's Butch Zatazelo, N. C. State's Vann Williford and USC's Tom Owens. The feeling here is that Owens' rebound leadership should warrant his attaining first team status. Also it is difficult to comprehend anyone other than Roche being chosen as the conference's player of the year, but don't count on it. The old North Carolina coalition will be lobbying hard for Bunting and Scott. N. Y. NEXT YEAR It now appears that next season's return roundball en gagement with Florida State will never come off. Instead a trip to Madison Square Garden is being planned for a little metropolitan exposure in a one night stand against one of the New York City teams-other than St. John's. As memory recalls, a similar Garden expedition against N.Y.U. ended an early season win streak and a brief flirt with national ranking in 1965. D)on't bet on history repeating. The Gamecocks will also travel to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl Holiday tournament and among their opponents will be Notre Dame-likewise currently sporting a power house of sophomores. MARYLAND SHAKEUP A real shakeup is in the making at the University of Maryland. Terrapin footbal lers have boycotted sprinzg prac tice until head coach Bob Ward is dlismissedI. And the bas ketball natives are also getting restless at College Park. with early signs indicating that D)avidson's Lefty D)reisell will be brought in to replace incumbent F'rank Fellows. to .. And the campus "buck-pass" of the week has to go toorfearless campus police who claimed they were power less tostep in and try to control the bedlam over the UNC tickets because the Pinkerton guards were in charge.

Marie Moore who had wanted to jump since watching her father, who is a paratrooper, said that it was "like a dream when you are flying around." "When the chute opened it was like being a pulp pet," she said. Ti.e jumps were made from a Cessna 172 at about 2,800 feet. Men on the ground tried to guide the chutists into a target area on the ground, but Miss Moore said she was too busy looking around to notice them. "It's great," was Lee Brandon's reaction. Bruce B o y c e was most im pressed with the silence after the chute had opened.

"It's a slow, peaceful sensation, Holand said. "At first it's like standing on a cloud. Then you be gin to see the earth coming at you. "You just kind (of absorb things --you don't have time to think about anything. "The hardest part is lotting go of the airplane on the first jump."
