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.

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. This will indeed hurt
