Ahead by 21 at one stage in the
game, Frank McGuire's nationally
fourth-ranked Gamecocks saw
their lead shaved to five Saturday
night before downing ACC rival
Duke at Durham, 67-55.
Carolina upped their season
mark to 15-1 and it was their 14th
straight win after bowing to
Tennessee in the third game of the
season. 55-54.
Frank McGuire explained the
reason why his Gamecocks saw
their impressive lead dwindle in
the early part of the second half.
"We tightened. We'll get better,
that's all."
14 The Gamecock mentor, who won
- his 350th college game against
Virginia Tech last Wednesday
night, said that he was "tempted to
hold the ball when we held a 14
point lead.

idle due to exams.

referring to his All-America guard
John Roche. the Gamecocks'
leading scorer who finished with 12
against Bucky Water's Blue
Devils.
"It's terrific to get a 15-point
lead in the first half," McGuire
mused, "but in. college you can't
put such good halves together."
Carolina shot 63.3 per cent from
the field in the first half against
Duke to the Blue Devils' respec
table 48.2 per cent.
The Gamecocks committed four
turnovers to Duke's seven in the
first stanza and out-rebounded
Bucky Waters' squad 13-9. One of
the big battles on the court was the
re-bounding duel between
Carolina's league-leading Tom
Owens and Duke's second-leading
conference rebounder, Randy
Denton.
Owens won the battle easily, and

the board game was dominated by
the Gamecocks.
"Denton's tough," McGuire saidl
thoughtfully. "He has a nice touch
and moves very good." Tom
Owens said that he respected
Denton, but added that he "is not a
graceful player."
The Duke giant finished the night
with a team high 17 points.
Sophomore Don Blackman. who
almost broke the game open in the
eariy part of the second half with
his board and scoring plays,
finished with 13.
Owens was asked if teammates
Ribock and Riker tried to in
timidate the opposition by acting
tough and threatening to slug it out
with them, the 6-10 beanpole
agreed, saying, "This year we're
trying not to let anyone push us
around. We don't want to hurt
anybody. Since the Tennessee
game I don't think anyone has out
muscled us."
Asked if he thought he won his
battle with Denton. Owens said,
"It's hard to say. Overall, he got
six and I got II (rebounds) so in
that respect I guess I won."
He pointed out that he did not
guard Denton and Denton did not
guard him so it was hard to say
who was the better player between
the two.
"Overali, we did a good job of
containing him," Owens said.
McGuire was asked if he thought
it was a physical game and he
replied, "When you get people
liker Riker, Ribock, Denton and
Catherman out there, real big
boys, naturally it's going to be a
little physical. I thought the game
was well officiated, however."
The loud and hostile Blue Devil
fans did not bother Owens
significantly. "They affect me
very, very little except at this
place(Duke). It does tend to
tigiwi us*' up when_ an official
makes a call with the crowd.
Psychologically. it does hurt a
little."
But Owens added that it made
him feel good when he gets booed.
He said that it makes him want to
play better and that it is, in ac
tuality, a supreme compliment.
Asked if he thought during the
liuke surge that Carolina might
ose. Owens said. "If we get a 35 or
~I-point lead. I don't think I ever
and a lead like that and lost. To do
hat you have to play pretty
toorly."
Owens was asked if he thought
'arolina was the best team in the
lation. "I feel on a given night we
an beat anyone in the country. I
ust hope we can ge through the
WCC tournament."
AlcGuiire lauded D)uke saying.
"They have a lot of good bodies, a
03 of good talent."

In the Jan. 28 swimming meet
against Florida State here, Tround
Williams, with a time of 21.8,
qualified for the NCAA finals in the
50 yard freestyle and, while win
ning the 100 yard freestyle, his
time of 48.4 put him fourth or fifth
in the nation in that event.
Despite the antics of Williams,
USC lost, 63-50 -to a strong and
physical Seminole swimming
team. Due to the scheduling of
final exams several swimmers

leaving the squad somewhat un
dermanned.
Even though undermanned, the
diversified attack of the
Gamecocks complemented the
power of the Seminoles in putting
on a fine exhibition of superb
Southeastern swimming.
In many events the opposing
swimmers were matched stroke
for stroke. Typical was the
aforementioned 50 yard freestyle
event in which Carolina's Williams
and Florida State's Dean Jerger
were clocked at the identical time
of 21.8. Williams lost the race on
the judges' decision.
The outcome of the meet left
Carolina's record at 1-4 and the
Seminoles at 4-1.
Reflecting on the performance of
his swimmers, head coach Pete
Combes stated, "Our fellows swam
well. I was especially pleased with
Trond Williams.
"We should do well in the ACC
Championships," added assistant
coach John Pittington, hinting
that, it the team's display was
indicative of things to come, there
are better times ahead.
L ooking to the next meet, coach
Combes said, "Eastern Kentucky
is a strong team. Their breast
stroke and medley relay used to be
number one and three, respec
tively."
Eastern Kentucky will be here

Asst. Sports Editor
USC, behind All-America John
Roche and Captain Bobby
Cremins, came off a 12-day exam
break with a pair of convincing
wins over Clemson and VPI.
Roche tossed in 31 points against
the Tigers on long jump shots and
driving layups while Cremins
scored 11 of the first 15 Gamecock
points to spur USC to a in
surmountable lead over the
Gobblers.
"Roche played like himself
tonight," Coach Frank McGurie
said after the Clemson win. "He
was the real Roche."
The USC head coach also had
praise for sophomore Rick Adylett
who scored a season high 19 points.
"Adylett bombed the bottom out of
that basket in the second half."
Cremins turned in a tremendous
job of defense against the Tigers,
holding Butch Zatezalo without a
field goal in the first stanza.
"Bobby has been an unsung hero
for us all season. His defense has
been a big factor in our wins this
season," praised Roche.
Cremins turned into an
aggressive sharpeshooter in the
opening minutes against VPI.
"Bobby is getting his confidence
back," Roche confided." He may
have lost some of it after missing
some tough shots early in the
year."
Coach McGuire was very
pleased with the play in the first
half. "Those first ten minutes we

The game, highighted' by the
antics of official Lou BelO,
reached a climax when Torn RIA
was ejected for a "flagrant foul".
Riker.and VPI's Darwin Pippin
became involved in a rebound
battle ending with Pippin stretched
out on the floor.
"Before the game, I told Riker to
be careful," commented Coach
McGuire. "I felt it was a trap. 'hat
guy faked it real good..He wasn't
knocked out. He got up as soon as
he heard Riker was ejected."
The VPI win marked the
Gamecock's 13th consecutive win
and was the 350th collegiate career
victory for Coach McGuire.
