Intramurals dilemma
Intramural sports at Carolina are becoming a very
big part of the average student's college life. To be
exact, 4,700 men and women are currently competing in
events ranging from ping pong to basketball.
But all is not roses in the intramural department.
Problems with fighti and with who has te final say in
decisions seem to be the rule rather than the exception.
I believe the problem is a two-fold one. First, Robert
Dalrymple (director of the USC intramural program)
should have absolute authority and second Dalrymple
should look into the possibility of dropping the all-sports
championship races from each division.
Dalrymple ran into a problem of not hav' absolute
authority in the ATO case of last fall. A man
committee formed by Dalrymple came up with a
punishment after all. the facts were in, and Dalrymple
acted on their recommendations. To the great disbelief
of myself and many others, two lawyers, one from the
University and one from ATO bargained and in the end
made a mockery of Dalrymple's decision. To state it
quickly, they overturned the brunt of the punishment.
Darymple who is a very reasonable man should not
be overruled without just cause-be it by two lawyers or
be it by the student courts. I strongly believe that if
Dalrymple had absolute authority the intramural
program would be much better.
In the case of the all-sports championship races, the
intramural department should consider doing away
with it. Recently while talking with the Asst. Sports
Information Director from Marshall he commented that
his college went through the same problems that
Carolina has encountered. The way Marshall solved the
problem of fighting was by doing away with the all
sports championship races.
It is only natural that the intramural program would
run into problems in this area. Whenever you have a
heated race, to a common goal, between groups of men,
tempers are bound to flare.
We are lucky to have such a good intramural program
at Carolina and we should strive to keep it this way.
Let's get things back on a friendly level of competition
and do away with the hostilities. If problems do arise
and people get out of hand, as sometimes they do, let
Dalrymple have the last word on the punishment.
The Chicks
Congratulations are to be extended to the Carolina
women's basketball team. Their victory over Anderson,
8043, was not only an exciting one but it was also a step
towards more recognition.
It was interin to listen to the St. Louis center
comment loudly and in great surprise on the abilities of
the women on the court. It was amazing to him and the
small crawd present, with what great accuracy Denise
Naney constantly canned 20-25 footers in collecting 22 -
points.
Maybe more of these double headers are in order.

Nate's lat
spark win
BY MARK LEARY
Asst. Sports Editor
The Carolina Gamecocks, behind
the 17-point second half per
formance of Nate Davis, broke
open a game in which they were
behind at the end of the first half
and ran away with a 76-60 victory
over a stubborn St. Louis squad.
Davis, who scored 19 points,
came alive in the second half as he
constantly hit on sky-high jumpers
from the 20-foot range. Tom
Boswell, with a game high of 24
points, played a steady game as he
tallied ten points in the first half
and 14 in the second along with
pulling down 13 rebounds.
'he first half was clearly the
most exciting of the two with the
Gamecocks being behind at t",,
half for the first time this season on
their home court. Even more
unbelievable was the fact that at
one point in the first half the
Gamecocks were behind by seven.

McGuire said, "Records really
betray everything. They looked
awfully good to me. That was a
senior ball club and the Missouri
Valley Conference is tops."
The Gamecocks received
another excellent performance by
Stu Klitenic and by the merit
system it is getting harder and
harder to keep him out of the line
up.
St. Louis head coach said after
*the game, "We've played some
tough teams this year, some of the
best in the country, and South
Carolina rates right up there with
any of them. Arizona State,
Kansas, Louisville and South
Carolina are all excellent clubs."
