"I'm anxious to get started," said Fos'ter who guided the Gamecocks to a 17-10 record in his first season after switching to South Carolina from Duke IJnivprsitv "Th*?ro will some changes in our system due to the changes in personnel," he added. "For one thing, we have more size." Among the five freshmen recruited by Foster are 6-11 Mike Brittain of Clearwater, Fla., and 6-10 Duane Kendall of Las Vegas, Nev. Last year, freshmen Jimmy Foster of Greenville. S C and Brad Jergenson of Manitowic, Wis., both 6-8, were the tallest Gamecocks. Jimmy Foster, who was the nation's 20tb-ranked rebounder with * ..0 per game and USC's number two scorer with a 14.2 average last season, was suspended by Coach Foster several weens ago "to give mm time to work out his personal affairs." The status of the center-forward going into preseason drills is questionable, although he may be allowed to rejoin the squad about Nov. 1.

Guard Zam Fredrick led the nation's scorers last year with a 28.9 average. He and point guard Kevin Dunleavy have graduated, leaving the Gamecocks with little exDerionre in the hark onnrt "I don't want to underestimate the contributions of Kevin Dunleavy, with his leadership and playmaking," Foster said. "We have more uncertainty than we want." At the same time, Foster found a number of nleasinn -- j o things among the prospects. "I believe we will start out well conditioned both mentally and physically," he said. "I'm pleased with the way we stack up at the positions. We have a lot of competition and we'll have guys playing themselves in and out of the lineup. We'll have improvement because of the competition." Foster will again take the Gamecocks around the state for four preseason intrasquad scrimmages to give them the experience of playing on strange courts, while at the same time giving out of town fans a chance to size up the squad.

"I don't think that there is a goalie on this earth who could have stopped that shot," Coach Mark Berson remarked. FROM THAT point on Clemson controlled the tempo of the game, using short, crisp passes, finding the open man and denying Carolina the ball and a chance to stage a comeback. With 26:50 remaining in the match, Igwebuike took a pass from striker Maxwell Amatasiro in front of the net and / ft jf'" v - rai ia BgL, iSHk^S HLy Bp-, Wfi a^;-j|ffi|IBBHMjBHBB^M^E^^^fei Sp* ' ?^-f' A- ^8k l^BPIi^B w? ?IE .
