PROCEEDS TO RE FA CIL;TIFS TO IMAOn USCSu NewYc BY MARK LEARY Sports Writer NEW YORK-Three of the five Carolina starters made their homecoming and at the same time the Gamecocks impressed the New York crowds as they defeated two hometown teams-Fordham 79-63 Thursday night and Seton Hall 75 74 Saturday night. The second contest was nothing like the first as USC had to go to the last seconds to beat Seton IHall Saturday night. With seven seconds left on the clock, two clutch foul shots by Mike Dunleavy put Carolina in the lead to stay. The Pirates could not get off a last second shot as a tough Carolina defense prevailed. Head coach Frank McGuire described this exciting game with a saying he had heard in the past. "One 'point is worth a million dollars and one second is like a lifetime." McGuire said. "They (USC) are a great team. They could have cracked very easily under that kind of pressure. But they didn't and that's the proof that, they are a great team." Without a doubt, Dunleavy was the star on this night for the Gamecocks. Brian Winters, who has been at the controls for the Gamecocks all - season, got into foul trouble early and fouled out I with 12 minutes to go in the game. Dunleavy took over and did everything anybody could have asked of him. He was leading ;corer for both teams with 24 points, and was 12 for 13 from the foul line, with most of the foul shots :oming in the latter part of the game. It was not a one-man show hough. Alex English and Bob Vlathias both turned in excellent games. They controlled the boards mnd scored, English with seven -ebounds and 20 points and Iathias with eight rebounds and 15 >oints. In this game the fifth-man ituation (Greiner, Davis and Cox) >layed possibly the biggest role it ias this year. Greiner and Davis >oth chipped in with scoring, four md three points respectively.

The play of the men who eplaced Winters can not be seen in ze scoring column, but it was a etermining factor in the outcome f the game. The two that did their )b well at the guard spot when the ressure was on were Jimmy Valsh and Stu Klitenic. Before a small crowd of 6,232 on hursday night, the Gamecocks howed the New York crowd and 'ordham why they are ranked 13th 1 the nation. Led by the double igure scoring of the three New orkers -Winters 24, Dunleavy 4, Mathias 13-and a stellar per Drmance by Columbia native Alex Onglish, who scored 16 points, the samecocks made what could have een a close game a run-away as bey outscored Fordham 52-37 in he second half. Bob Mathias celebrated his irthday with a strong per ormance at the center position as te was five for seven from the floor vith five rebounds and four assists. [le performed to the tune of Happy 3irthday, which the Garden rganist constantly played broughout the contest. Fordham played the Gamecocks urprisingly close in the first half f play, and at halftime the many arolina fans that followed the eam to New York were sur rised that- USC held only a one oint lead,27-26. Everytime the xamecocks looked like they were ,oing to pull away, a costly tur iover occured. Carolina had 17 urnovers in the game, eight in the irst half. Winters led the Gamecocks in he first half, as he tallied 12 points ind hit from every point on the ourt. But Fordham had an qually good first half per ormance from Stan Frankoski, vho also scored 12 points. He nded the night with 16. Frankoski ad been averaging only 7.9 points game for the season. The second half was a different tory as all the Gamecocks heated ip and Fordham slipped to a lismal 40 per cent shooting from he floor. With 12 minutes left in he game the Gamecocks were well n control, leading 51-36. The fifth man play continued to e a story as this time it was Mark reiner's turn to excel. Greiner hipped in with eight points on the ight, all in the second half. McGuire described the trip to Jew York in possibly the best way.
