The Jetsons held off a
furious rally by the defending
champion Lady Wart
Lips to win the Women's
Intramural Basketball
Championship, 33-32,
Thursday night.
The Jetsons, composed
mainly of Carolina Softball
players, broke open a tight
game with a fast break attack
to take a 24-17 halftime
lead. The Jetsons scored the
first two baskets of the
second half to extend their
lead to 11 points and an
? --r
peared on their way to an
easy win. But the Lady Wart
Lips employed a tough
person to person defense
that forced turnovers and
cut the margin to one point.
The LWL's had a chance to
win the game with less than
ten seconds remaining, but
two close in shots rolled off
the rim to seal the championship
for the Jetsons.

From a player's standpoint, the rivalry of Saturday's
game will be intense. Sixteen of USC's players are Georgia
natives. A win over the Dogs always makes it easier to
return home for the holidays. Seven of Georgian's players,
including four starters, are from South Carolina.
The game is also a very emotional one for USC assistant
coach and former Georgia quarterback Ray Goff. Since
Goff joined the USC staff in 1978, the Gamecocks are 2-0
against the Dogs.
But perhaps the game means the most to the fans. As USC
Head Coach Jim Carlen said at his weekly press luncheon
Monday, "The Georgia game is a big game because we
have to live with Georgia. We don't have to live with
Southern Cal or Michigan just like Wichita State doesn't
have to live with us."
Likewise, the Gamecock fans have to live with those diehard
Georgia fans. Georgian fans are the ones that are

For any Gamecock fan who has ever run into an obsessed
Georgia fan, I'm sure he or she realizes how sweet a win
over the Dogs can be. After your favortie team beats
Georgia, you can really punish that die-hard Georgia fan by
sarcastically asking him "how 'bout them Dogs?"
NO LACK OF EFFORT
With only three players returning from last year's squad,
the USC men's basketball team could be in for a long season
in 1980-81.
But while the Gamecocks may be lacking in experience,
there will definitley be no lack of effort from Coach Bill
Foster's first Carolina team. The diligent efforts of Coach
Foster and his staff symbloize the kind of determination
that is characteristic of the Carolina team these days.
Obviously someone forgot to tell Coach Foster that Rome
wasn't built in a day because ever since he signed his
contract with USC, he has been working like a mad man
trying to rebuild the USC basketball program.
One area which concerns Foster greatlv is stnHpnt
support. The veteran coach realizes the important role
which student support can play in a basketball program. He
frequently mentions how the students at Duke were
responsible for making Cameron Indoor Stadium (Duke's
home arena) one of the toughest places in the country to
play. Foster would like to creatt ..:e same enthusiastic
atmosphere at Carolina.
He is doing his part to solicit student support. He purchased
a TV. with his own money, to be given to the student
who comes up with the best a name for a special student
cheering section. He is speaking all over campus trying to

After an intense two and a half hour practice session this
afternoon, Foster would probably like to go home and relax.
Instead he'll be on campus at 6:30 p.m. to speak to a group
of students in the Maxcy lobby. To Bill Foster, it's all a part
of the job.
