Klitenic, crowd' aid win BY GEORGE MORRIS Of The Gamecock staff As with any victory, Tuesday's win over St. Louis can be at tributed to many factors. There were two factors in this game, however, that have not been present in any of the Gamecocks previous contests. One of these was an offensive minded Stu Klitenic, who, for the first time this season assumed a scorers role. .Klitenic, starting in his third straight game, hit five of 10 shots from the floor and added two assists in the Gamecock vic tory. While these figures might not seem overly impressive at first glance, but they mark the first time since the Virginia Tech game that someone other than Mike Dunleavy has produced points from the backcourt. "I was getting the shots tonight and I'm gaining more confidence. I just wanted to go out and assert myself more, not necessarily as a scorer but driving and passing off, too," Klitenic said. Another contributing factor in the fictory was the noisiest home crowd Carolina has had all year. For most of the year the fans in the Coliseum have spent the better 'part of the games sitting on their hands as the Gamecocks rolled up early leads. , But Tuesday night it was dif ferent. St. Louis shocked the crowd out of its complacency by building up a seven point at one point in first half lead and sending Carolina into the dressing room trailing by onegat the half-time. The tight contest and the poor officiating reminded fans of the years USC played in the Atlantic Coast Conference when both were commonplace. That, along with some "alley-oop" passes to Alex English turned the crowd into the foot stomping, hand clapping, catcalling crowd that had made Carolina tough to beat at home. WANTED!?

The Gamecocks, with a 5-1 mark in the dual meet season, are trying to make their presence known among the nation's swimming elite. Against the Wolfpack they will be facing their toughest op ponent on an increasingly tough schedule. State has lost only to 3rd ranked Tennessee and Wolfpack coach Don Easterling calls this his best eam ever. Carolina coach Alan Gentry couldn't agree more. "They are real tough. We think we can compete with them, but they are as good as we or better in every event. It's a lot like going to war with bows and arrows against cannons. To win we need for them to be depressed and for us to be sky high," Gentry said. Gentry, who has shown optimism before USC's meets thus far this year, has good reason for his concern. State has five All Americas on its team and four swimmers and one diver have already qualified for this year's NCAA championships. All-America freestyler Tony Corliss has swam the fastest time this year in the 50-yard freestyle and is ranked third in the nation in the 100-yard freestyle. Other stars in the State lineup include All America Steve Gregg, ranked second in the world in the 200-yard butterfly, and Dan Harrigan, who holds the Atlantic Coast Con ference record in the 200-yard backstroke. But even with his team's wealth of talent, Easterling doesn't expect an easy time of it against Carolina.

I think this is the best team South Carolina has ever had, at least since the Civil War. I look for a good meet. I think Alan is a very fine coach and they've got a good, solid team. There's absolutely no weaknesses in it. They took Miami right down to the wire and they beat the dickens out of Florida. We're coming prepared for a tough, close meet," Easterling said. Both coaches believe the home pool advantage could be a factor in Carolina's favor. The Gamecocks have won four straight home meets since losing to Auburn last year. "When we travel the home pool is a factor. They have their timers and their judges, and those people are doing it because they're in terested in their program. It's the same thing here," Gentry said earlier this year. But Gentry knows it will take more than a home pool to win this meet, which starts at 2 p.m. Saturday. "There's not going to be a whole lot of strategy involved in this one. We're going to have to swim our best in their best event. That's the way you have to do it; they don't have weak points we can attack. We're going to have to race like hell to win," he said.
