A .4n says VWAnova is a much
be(wr team taan thay were in
Ja0ary when they beat his Purple
ts, 10348. Tomorrow
ViMova coach Jack Kraft will be
hoping his Wildcats are it least as
-od as they wee when they beat
t, Bonnaventure, 64-6.
St. Boneaventure, 8.* winner
over North Carolina State, and
Villanova, 96-73 winner over
Niagara, will square off at 2
tomorrow in Carolina Coliseum for
the Eastern Regionals Cham
pionship.
For the Wildcats it will be the
dilemma of, stopping 6-11, 275
pound Bob Lanier, nicknamed The
Big Cat, and 5-10, 155-pound Bill
Kalbaugh at the same time. Lanier
carries a 29.5 scoring average
around on his size 17 sneakers and
he is capable of dominating the
backboards against any team in
the country.

USC's golf team turned back
Clemson and Furman Tuesday
to open the season with a pair of
victories.
Hap Lathrop, playing in the
number two spot shot a three
under-par 69. He was followed
closely by number three man
Wade Mayo who finished one
stroke behind at 70.
In the top match of the day State
Amateur Champ Ronnie Smoak
defeated Clemson's Joe Vignati, 3
0. Both were playing in the number
one position for their schools.
Clemson fell 16% 4% while the
Paladins were routed 26% - 3%.
The gold team will seek wins
number three and four today
against The Citadel and Wofaord
at Spring Valley Country Club.

where he batters the rims with one

either. They average more points

Guard Fran O'Hanlon is a good
balnhandler and a pretty fair
outside shot, and the other guard,

leading scorer on the team. Porter

Niagara that it was going to take a
very good team to beat his Wild
cats. "I'm not saying we can beat
anyone, but it will be a very good
team that beats us,,' Kraft said.
CONSOLATION GAME
In the consolation game State
and Niagara will try to salvage
some of their lost pride. State has a
balanced team, lead by All
Conference forward Van Williford
and their overall height and
aggressiveness could be too much
for the Purple Eagles.
The Eagles, on the other hand,
have first team All-America
Calvin Murphy and Murphy may
have a lot of points stored up for
tommorrow. He scored only 18
points last night, and he averages
229.7 a game.
Niagara does not have a tall
team---their tallest man is 6-6 Bob
Churdhwell--so the Wolfpack, with
6-9 Paul Coder, 6-6 Williford and 6-66
should have an advantage under
the boards. The other Niagara
starters are 6-4 Wayne Jones, 6-5
Steve Schafer and 5-10 Mike
Brown.
VILLANOVA-NIAGARA
Villanova dominated both of
fensive and defensive boards on
the way to a semi-final win against
Nigara, outrebounding the smaller
Purple Eagles, 61-39. Porter pulled
down 18 rebounds himself and
Sims and Smith got 14 and 12,
respectively.
With the boards under control,
the Wildcats worked their running
game relentlessly and stretched a
46-29 halftime lead to the final 98-73
count, with only a few temporary
setbacks in the second half when
O'Hanlan picked up his fourth foul.
The 'Cats do not have a par
ticularly good ballhandler on the
bench.
Villanova jumped off to an 11-0
lead and Murphy did not score
until he hit two free throws with
10:47 left in the half. The score at
that point was 22-8 and the Purple
Eagles never recovered.
Villanova worked the ball well
inside all night and Porter slapped
down enough attempted shots to
qualify for the "meany of the
week" award.
As for Murphy, he just never got
going against the 'Cats, and they
held him to his lowest point output
in the three years that the teams
have been playing each other. He
scored 28 or more points in each of
the teams's five previous meetings
during his career.

his fanfare. Lanier is big enough so
that all he had to do to be a
problem is stand under the basket
and occupy space.
State dropped back to a 10-poing
deficit midway in the first half
before Williford and Leftwich
brought the 'Pack back to within
four, 33-29.
But Calbaugh hit a 25-footer,
Greg Gary stole the ball for an
easy layup and Lanier hit a gentle
turnaround and stretched their
lead back to 10, 41-31, before the
half ended
Lanier finished the night with 24
points and 19 rebounds, but it was
Williford who grabbed the in
tividual scoring honors. The
F&yetteville, N. C. senior, winner
of the Everett Case Award as the
most valuable player in the ACC
Tournament, scored 35 points and
got 12 rebounds.
Williford had little help. Coder,
who seemed to have recovered
from the stage fright he suffered
during the conference tournament,
had 16 points, but Anheuser,
Leftwich and Dunning could
manage only 17 points among
them.
The Wolfpack was relatively
successful in stopping Lanier in the
first half. Coder, Anheuser and
Williford surrounded him under
the basket, but Kalbaugh hit three
push shots while standing
somewhere out in Lexington
County, and State couldn't
contain both of them at the same
time.
The 'Pack might have made a
contest of it in the second half, but
thery were forced to give the
Bonnies two, three and found shots
at the basket as Lanier and Gantt
slapped nearly every shot they
did't engulf out to Hoffman and
Kalbaugh.

LaBorde withstood a thirdt
quarter rally by Moore and put
together a last quarter spurt of
their own to defeat Moore, 81-65.
At the start of the second half
Moore was down 43-28 but took
advantage of a few LaBorde
turnovers and the hot shooting of
Tom Ruhf and Nat Schell to out
score LaBorde 22-14 in the third
