The offensive squad features

forced Staub to to employ a
conservative attack.
The offense also has been

the quarterback slot. Scott
Moeschl, who emerged as
the starting quarterback
during spring practice, has
been ineffective, hindered by
rib and shoulder injuries.

Willis Reed, former New

coach and NBA star,
discussed his career and the
importance of education in

morning.
About 175 people were on
hand to hear Reed speak and
conduct a question and
answer session sponsored by
the Speaker Committee of
the College of General
Studies.
Gamecock Head
Basketball Coach Bill Foster
introduced Heed, calling him
"the man in thf mirfHlp nf
one of the most revered
teams in all sports, the
epitomy of teamwork and
success." Reed is best
remembered for always
giving total effort on the
court and he emphasized the
significance of putting effort
in all aspects of life.

talent that I could loaf. I had
to give 100 percent," said
Reed. "The only person you
have to satisfy is yourself. If
you can criticize yourself
you can become a better
person. Give it 100 percent
and don't sell it short."
REED STRESSED the
need for learning. "The
greatest thing you can do is
get an education. Too many
guys live on the dreams that
they're going to be
professional athletes. Most
guys wno play sports in
college will not play
professionally. The most
important thing they have is
a free education. They
should take advantage of it.
The responsibility is with the
parents and the coaches."

Reed responded that he
made the adjustment well.
"I played my years of
basketball. I gave it all I
had. If I had to do it all over
again, 1 probably couldn't
have done it as well. So, I did
all I could accomplish in my

"I'd rather play an undefeated

? it's hard to get your
players' attention when you
play a team that hasn't won
a game," he said. "I worry
about them (Cincinnati)
because they can salvage a
season by beating a top 20
team."
In contrast to Staub's
young squad, Carlen will
field a veteran team including
ten senior starters.
The Carolina offense
revolves around senior
tailback George Rogers, the
nation's leading rusher with
961 yards. The Gamecocks'
defensive unit has been
exceptional this season in
yielding an average of only

He hit his first two shots of

His presence was felt by
everyone and the Knicks had

Commenting on today's
million dollar contracts that
some players receive, Heed
said simply, 44I love it. A guy
is worth whatever he can
get. The only thing wrong
with it is that management
gives contracts for over
three years. After about two
years a player may not be
happy any longer and
management will either
have to pay him more money
or trade him."
Heed was in Columbia to

basketball game for the
athletic program at Allen

lineman for the Pittsburgh
Steelers of the NFL was also
to speak on Tuesday morning
but was unable to appear
due to a problem in
