FUNNIEST OF THE YEARI CAROL &TED &ALC consider the possibilities 7: 2PM .1:15-3:15 5:15 7-15-9. THIS PICTURE IS THE BEST FUN IN TOWNI 46:17-8:00 ALD -4 o-S 'Cock Flies By Bruce Hortick Sporis Editor Ribock moves up to hero status Sports fans hold a special place in their hearts for athletes who, from out of the shadows of their superstar teammates, turn immortal after one outstanding performance. You know the kind i'm talking about-the defensive lineman who intercepts a pass and ruhs for the winning touchdown, the man who comes into a basketball game as a substitute and ends up scoring 30 points and virtually winning the game single handed. Carolina had that type of hero Monday night when the Gamecocks battered the fourth-ranked Tar Heels, 65-52. It was a complete Carolina victory; the Heels were outclassed in every department. Frank McGuire's bunch committed eight turnovers to UN''s 13, had five assists (two by John Roche) to the losers' two, led in rebounding 33-26, had fewer personals (9-21) and shot 48 per cent from the floor to North Carolina's 43.1 per cent. 'Ribock Key': Cremins And although it was a soiid team victory, there was one Gamecock who stood out from the rest, one Gamecock who did it all. John Ribock was the man of the hour. "Ribock's first-half performance was the key to the game," said senior captain Bobby Cremins. Ribock, a 6'8" forward from Augusta, Ga., scored 14 points - 12 coming in the first half - and hauled down eight rebounds - seven in the first half. Making his formidable presence known, the muscular wing man kept the Gamecocks alive in the early going and kept them ahead when they appeared to be losing steam. Heel Coach Dean Smith must have told his players at the half to start worrying about Ribock, but by the second half the other Gamecocks got hot hands and that's all she wrote. Ribock's tremendous performance was not an accident - he was capable all along. Coach Frank McGuire confided after the game that it was planned that Ribock and Cremins were to shoot more often against North Carolina since past opponents have allowed them to run around loose while keying on Roche, Tom Owens and Tom Riker. Cremins played his usual "Charlie Hustle" ball, but simply could not seem to find the range. He scored four points on two of eight field goals and speared five rebounds. Cremins 'just choked' He spoke freely about his rather disappointing play Monday night. "The way they (UNC) played me showed that they had no respect for me. I should have put the ball Into the basket. I guess you could say I lust ch ked." Cremins continued, "Tey played a smart game," referring to the deliberate offense employed by North Carolina in the early minutes of play. But he said sadly, "That's not my type of ball game.'' When asked if there was any type of duel between Gamecock All-American John Roche and Tar Heel All-America and Olympic veteran Charlie Scott, Cremins said simply, "All Americans don't think that way." 'Only a conference game' Coach McGuire was visibly pleased with his team's per- s formance and rightfully so, but when asked If he thought the ( game was one of the biggest, he answered thoughtfully, ''This is. 3 only a conference game. Every game's a big game and that's the bad part."r The USC head coach said that John Roche, for the first time that he could recall, was tense before and during the ball game. Asked for an explanation, McGuire shrugged, ''His desire, I guess." Roche finished with 12 points, eight of them free throws, and contributed two assists. But he thrilled the capacity Coliseum crowd with his Marques Haynes-type ball handling.4 ''That was no show,'' McGuire said in defense of his player's antics. ''Roche's dribbling was to try to get fouled. You don't take outside shots when it's one-and-one.'' In reference to UNC's deliberate offense McGulre said, ''I think Dean's (Smith, UNC Coach) strategy was smart instead of penetrating three big guys underneath,'' meaning USC's ''pro ( lineup'' of Riker, Owens and Ribock. Smith takes the blame Smith was not happy, of course, and took the blame for his team's loss. ''It was my selection to control the tempo and it was a a mistake because we lost. ''My idea with the stall was to counter thIs tremendous board t4 size. They outrebounded us by seven, if we had played the entire a time, it could easily have been 14. S ''I wanted us to work for the good shot, but we only hit six out of 20. But It's not the shooters' fault. This is the first time we have g done this and each shot was a little more important. We will try to d play South Carolina a little differently next time in Chapel Hill," Smith promised. ''l think South Carolina must get credit," Smith con tinued. ''McGulre has recruited a great bunch of men. They do most of their traveling in February and so we will not know a lot about them until then. ''With State facing us,'' Smith said, ''I only hope we can come back and win." l Stacked Against '~ The Establishment h Rn PETER DENNIS3:053.3.:3 FEATURES: 3:30..5:30-7:30.9:30 Walsh Muds' frosh By 1IYMIE EPSTEIN Sports Writer "I was very pleased by the way we played the boards and how effective our fast break was," said freshman basketball coach Don Walsh after his Biddies trampled North Greenville Junior College Monday night, 98-75. This was the Riddles' fourth win In as many starts. The game started fast with the Mountaineers taking the lead early, but the USC frosh bounded back to close the gap and at halftime the Biddies were resting with a comfortable 56-23 margin. The most exciting aspect of the game took place during the last two minutes with the Biddies shy eight points of reaching the cen tury mark. The crowd was begging for 100 points, but when the final buzzer sounded and the dust had settled to he Coliseum floor, the Biddies were short by two. Coach Walsh said, "I really lidn't care about hitting 100 points. know the fans wanted them to go or it. I only care about if we win."
