II&t ua the' game.thiatUWS By BRUCE HONICK Sports Editor Put Lefty Driesell and Lou Bello In the same arena. Add an enthusiastic capacity crowd. Throw in a television camera, two basketball teams and a device known as the stall. And for good measure, 0nO of the players on the court should have long h&ir. Stir slowly until the whole mess comes to an Inevitable boil. The finished product is one of the Wildest basketball games you will ever hope to see. Such was the case Saturday night in the Coliseum, where the Fighting Gamecocks disposed of Maryland, 55-44--and there is no doubt now how Maryland got it's nickname--the Terrapins. Their slowdown play was. enough to make any basketball purist weep. But the slow tempo gave referee Lou Bello the op. portunity to try out some of his court shenanigans. If the skin-topped master of merriment ever had a better performance, I'd like to see it. And Driesell was not to be outdone. His kneecaps took a workout and so did his vocal chords. Bello slapped two technicals on the Maryland coach and it seemed to subdue him for a while, but it wasn't long before the Terrapin terror was back in action. Shaggy-haired Will Hetzel, the 6'7" brother of former Davidson star Fred Hetzel, was the target of much - verbal abuse. "Get a haircut, you hippiel" was a favorite gibe. The television camera whirred, recording every classic incident for viewing audiences. Such an evening should not be restricted to a mere 12,000 people. It's something the whole world should have seen. - Bob eso Lou Bello: crowning performance Computers. . . a Bright Future.

T en -ag Gerry agai By BRUCE HONICK Sports Editor Carolina got off on the right foot in their campaign against Atlantic Coast Conference competition when they downed Virginia, 62-51 Dec. 13. This was the GAmecocks' first conference game and their first conference win. Since that time, they have downed each ACC team to come their way - Maryland (twice) and North Carolina. In last month's game with the Cavaliers, it took Carolina until the last eight minutes of the contest to pull off the win. Virginia applied a deliberate offense and USC Coach Frank McGuire said afterwards, "This is good experience for these kids - (USC). We'll have to get used to the fact that we're going to see that type offense a lot more before this season is over." Indeed the Gamecocks have. Maryland did it Saturday night as did North Carolina Jan. 5. But both times USC managed to emerge the victor, a credit to their talents. Against Virginia the first time around, Tom Owens led Carolina's attack with 23 points and 11 rebounds. All-America John Roche was held to a mere 10 points, well below his 22-point average that he now has. But tonight in the Coliseum the Cavaliers will be without the services of captain Chip Case, who scored 15 points in the first meeting between the two schools. The 6'3" senior forward from Lockport, N. Y. was granted an extra year of eligibility after missing most of the 1967-68 season. But it was stipulated that he was to miss one game against USC and once against Duke - the two teams he played against before he sustained his injury. Case played against USC this season in Charlottesville and will have to miss tonight's meeting in Columbia.
