The Wolflets, with four of their starters standing 6-5 or more, take a 9-3 record into the contest, while the Biddies will try to protect their 11-2 mark. "They are physically big," said USC Frosh Coach Donnie Walsh, "just like their varsity."

The Biddies who have run a man to-man defense effectively in the past several games will find it Jifficult to match the Wolflets. "I don't know what type of defense we will use," said Walsh, "we'll probably try a couple." To counter State's height, USC will start Traylor at center. Traylor who has averaged more than 20 rebounds per contest in his last four games will carry an 18.7 point average into the game. For their scoring punch, the Biddies will rely upon Joyce and his 25.5 scoring average. Casey Manning, with an 18.9 average, will be at the other forward slot. Both Joyce and Manning have also hit the boards well for the Frosh with 15.6 and 12.2 rebounds per game respectively. The USC guards will be Jimmy Powell, who is chipping in 15.2 points, and Jackie Brown with 7.3. This is only the second ACC team that the Biddies have faced this season.

C. State Wolfpack in Raleigh. The game will begin at 9. The Wolfpack has lost two of its last three games and is 18-3 on the season. The University of North Carolina has victimized the 'Pack twice, and Georgia Tech upset Norman Sloan's crew, 89-77, in the last game of the North - South Doubleheader in Charlotte last weekend. Van Williford, a 6-6 senior from Fayetteville, N. C., is the Wolf pack's leading scorer with a 23 point per game average. He is followed by Paul Coder and Ed Leftwich, both of whom have 17.7 scoring averages. Coder is 6-9 and a sophomore. Leftwich is 6-5 and also a sophomore. Like all Norman Sloan-coached teams, the Wolfpack is aggressive and rugged. Last year State knocked Carolina out of a share of the ACC regular season title by beating them, 67.4, in the last game of the srason in Raleigh. The State starting lineup will probably consist of Williford, Coder, Leftwich, Al Heartley and Rick' Anheuser. Heartley, a junior wh- saw action in all but two State gat nes last season, won the star tin 1 assignment from Jim Risinger ear ly in the season. RESERVE DAN WELLS Anheuser, a 6-6 senior and co captain along with Williford, carries a 10.1 scoring average into tonight's game. The Wolfpack's sixth man is 6-6, 205 Dan Wells, whose scoring average is higher than that of starting guard Heartley - 8.7 to 4.5. Defensively, Sloan likes to use the man-to-man defense. He hasn't used the man-to-man too frequently in recent years because he didn't have the material, but this season he says he thinks he does. Wells has played in all but one State game and is usually counted on to ignite a State ralley. Sloan uses Wells in much the same manner Gamecock Head Coach Frank McGuire uses Rich Aydlett. One of the stars of State's defense has been Coder, who held Georgia Tech's Rick Yukus to a 9 for 25 shooting performance in the North-South game. Yunkus still scored 27 points against State, but In tra m By TEDDV) HIEFF~NERt Asst. Sports Editor Doug Fisher tossed in 22 points and helped Pi Kappa Alpha dominate the backboards over a smaller Sigma Chi in a 69-35 PiKa rout Tuesday. Fisher received adequate help from the rest of the PiKa team as Mike Perkins scored 11 points, Bobby Heald eight, George Mc Carthy and Johnny Hedlund nine each.

MUSCLE THE KEY The Gamecocks will have to outmuscle State under the boards if they are to escape Reynolds Coliseum without a defeat. Sloan said in a statement Monday that the team that got the second and third shots would win. He added that he felt the pattern of officiating would be a deter mining factor in the game and that the front line that got into foul trouble would be in trouble.

Riker is pulling down misses at an 8.7 rate and Ribock at a 6.4 rate. Only two teams have ever gone through the regular season without a loss. North Carolina was un defeated in 1957 when Frank McGuire guided them to a 32-0 season and a national cham pionship.

Davis bombed the nets for 22 points to lead all scorers. Jeff Dillion contributed 18 to the Phi Kap cause. Phi Kappa Sigma outscored Kappa Sigma 23-S in the final quarter to complete the over whelming win. Kappa Sigma failed to place a man in double figures. Doug Elliot finished with eight points.
