Carolina a
controvers
?
It seems the continuing saga of
the McGuire-Carlen controversy
has not ended. It appeared a
solution proposed by President
James B. Holderman would be fair
to all parties with the appointment
of Dr. James A. Morris to the
position of vice-president for intercollegiate
athletics.
However, since the appointment
of Morris controversy is still
brewing and the athletic program
here at Carolina is in the middle of
ii. ur. Moiaerman announced with
the Morris position that coaches
Carlen and McGuire would work
under Morris in the operation of
USC athletics.

McGuire immediately approved
of the idea and said it was the kind
of decision which should have been
made long ago. Carlen's immediate
reaction was unknown. It
seems Carlen is not too happy
because within the last week he has
hired an attorney to look into his
contract.
ONCE AGAIN the issue of
Carolina athletics is in the
forefront of the sports scene here
at USC.
Though Carlen has not said
anything definite about the matter,
there are a few facts which must be
mentioned. When Holderman
appointed Morris only one coach
was happy with the decision;
McGuire. Since McGuire was low
man on the Carolina athletic totem
pole, it is easy to realize why he
instantly approved of Morris's
appointment.
It is also easy to see why Carlen
hired an attorney. With the Morris
appointment some of the

CARLE N LOSES his control
over the budget in all of the
athletics and his close working ties
with business manager John
Moore and the Gamecock club.
It seems Carlen believes the
Morris appointment is a demotion
in his handling of athletics at USC.
When Morris was appointed it was
obvious Carlen was not totally
happy. He did not make a public
statement saying he was pleased
with the decision. Carlen went
along with the decision at the time
of the announcement.
So it seems another controversy
is beginning to take shape at
? -
Carolina. 11 wasn't enough to have
one controversy in the McGuire
matter. But with Carlen hiring an
attorney and no one saying much
about the controversy one thing is
painfully clear; the appointment of
Morris did not clear up the
situation as hoped for by
Holderman. It has caused another
problem.
Carlen's role at Carolina is still
very strong. Even with Morris as
vice-president for intercollegiate
athletics, Carlen has complete and
total authority over football.
IT SEEMS to me Carlen is
causing more u/nupe fHon ic
necessary. President Holderman
made a decision and it is up to the
people under him to follow his
directives.
Holderman appointed Morris for
the sole purpose of trying to bring
peace to an unsettled athletic
department. Having Morris with
all of his experience and know-how
is a great benefit in clearing up the
constant nonsense which is occurring
in USC's athletic program.
Carlen's possible action can only
engulf USC athletics in another
serious controversy which the
university can do without. Possibly
something can be worked out
between Carlen and Holderman.

Bellinger?
? From page 8
IT WAS A matter of who would
adjust first to the lane conditions
as to who would win the tournament.
Bellinger rebounded with
games of 222,237 and 235 to put him
into the lead after the first day, and
make him the singles champion,
which he had earned last year also.
It was the big one, the all-events
that Bellinger wanted and finally
won.
"Alter those horrible doubles
games, I figured that I had better
do something, so instead of my
usual line-up on the left and walk to
the right for the hook, I stayed over
to the left. I took a chance that no
one else wanted to," Bellinger
said.
According to Bellinger, the other
bowlers instead of trying to adjust,
would try to fight it and consequently
did not score as well.

BELLINGER, WHO is claimed
by his teammates to be one of the
best at adjusting to differing lane
conditions, said that the experience
that he is getting by
bowling in the South helped him
realize what needed to be done.
"By bowling here, I have bowled
in the worst lanes imaginable (he
compared the Citadel lanes to
bowling in the street) to the best.
And I have had to adjust to every
type of lane there is
"In Star Lanes, the lanes are dry
so I am going to get a better hook,
but in Savannah, they are well
oiled and all I have to do is crank it
up," he said.
THE NEXT STEP is the World
Cup for Bellinger, and he is ready
for it. According to Bellinger, the
other countries of the world don't

get much press in bowling, but are
very competitive. Only three
Americans have won the World
Cup in thirteen tries. In the ladies
division, the United States has only
grabbed one title.
"Take for example Japan,"
Bellinger explains. "The Japanese
will build a bowling alley, and the
people who own the alley will bowl
8-10 hours per day. You just can't
.help but be good doing it that
much. A bowler will have turn nr
three 300 games per month there,
when here two in one year is
phenomenal."
Although Bellinger's next few
years are set (or are they?) the
future may hold what every boy
dreams of when he watches the
pros on the television: a chance to
be the champion.
