Back from last year's team are Jimmy Hamilton, Wade Mayo, Max Poteet, Buddy Bostian, Wylie Ramsey, Larry Mattox and Os Hillamn. Newcomers include three freshmen, David Dupre Charlie Wilkerson, Frank Little and sophomore Jimmy Burgcss. Coach Melton is anticipating a good season due to the fact that his team will be participating in more tournaments instead of matches this spring and also the team's first fall season which was added this year.

Carolina head coach Frank McGuire thinks his team can rebound from the Houston loss. "The attitude of the team is very good," McGuire said. "We had a good workout yesterday(Monday). "Toledo has always been a good basketball team, " McGuire continued, "and it is going to be another tough game. We have to be ready." The key to Toledo's attack is their center, Tom Kozelko. While averaging 25.9 points per game, Kozelko has a field goal percentage of over 55 per cent. "He gets a lot of lay-ups," Toledo head man Robert Nichols said of his star, "and he moves well without the ball. His shooting range is about 15 feet." USC Coach Bill Loving, who scouted the Rockets for Carolina, said, "Toledo always looks for the good shot and they feed Kozelko down low as much as they can." In addition to leading Toledo in scoring , Kozelko is tops in rebounding, too. He is averaging more than 12 rebounds a game and therefore he is the spark of the Rocket's fast break. "Kozelko throws the outlet pass fairly well,,' Nichols said, "and this is one area in which he has improved." One of Toledo's forwards for tonight's game will be 6-5 senior Bill Chapman. Chap man is averaging 6.5 points and just under four rebounds every game. (See ROCKET, Page 7, Column 3) IN PERSON SAT. FEB. 26 One Show - 8:00 p.m. CAROLINA COLISEUM Columbia, S. C.
