Bruins. A typical fight breaks out and both j0h benches empty. Minutes after the ruckus is caS( broken up, another one starts. Bruin Dave Forbes sneaks up behind Minnesota player a^c Henry Bouchet and, as the trial testimony ^av says, he took the butt end of his stick and hit Bouchet over the head. As he fell to the ice, Forbes grabbed his eve hair and dribbled his head off the ice three sai( times, rendering him unconscious. Twenty- ^ five stitches and four eye operations later, jon Bouchet was out of hockey. q Forbes was charged under the Minnesota ?ja aggressive assault statute for violation of aw, the criminal law, carrying a maximum penalty of $10,000 and five years in prison. Ay The jury was hung, explaining that while wa! the law covers similar street crimes, it ^ doesn't cover this type of crime. Forbes was jy free. pUt the THIS TYPE of action, or lack of, is what Miami attorney mcnara Horrow is fighting ^irr against. Horrow, the author of the Sports 0 Violence Act (Bill No. HR 7903), spoke at the ' y Russell House Ballroom last week.

This Saturday, USC returns home to Williams-Brice Stadium to face the ^North Carolina State Wolf pack. The "Pack" WPW | is 4-3 on the year, and coming off two strong, although not successful, showings against North Carolina and Clemson. E"I was hoping North Carolina State wasn't as good as they are . . . but they are," said Coach Jim Carlen at his weekly Monday press conference. "They're a very aggressive football team. I think they're a better football team than they were last year simply because their quarterback (Tol Avery) is more mature and doesn't make the mistakes he made last year." Avery has completed 53.7 percent of his passes this season, including 3 for touchdowns. He has also added two touchdowns on the ground. Another Wolfpack player who worries Carlen is Joe Mcintosh. Mcintosh, although injured for part of the year, has rushed for a team leading 790 yards, averaging over 132 yards a game. "(He) is a very exciting football player," says Carlen, "and for a freshman does an extremelv snnH inh " ""v o :v , * i * _ _ - < A The Wolfpack defense is led by linebacker Robert Abraham.

And of course, no pre-game remarks would be complete without the ever popular 'as good as' phrase. "We've faced the number 4 team in the country the last couple of weeks, but, without a doubt, the Gamecocks are as good as anybody we've played or will play all season." The Wolfpack takes on top-ranked Penn State next week. f \ Kiffin knows that his team is obviously in the crucial part of their season. "Seriously, with losses to North Carolina and Clemson, and Penn State coming up next week we've really got our backs to the wall." He also senses that the Gamecocks could be in the j process of trying to turn a season that once j held a little promise into another 8-win campaign. "After their great win last week" says Kiffin, "I know the Gamecocks will be fired up. We've just got to rise to the occasion." South Carolina leads the series 20-19, anc?) there have been 4 ties.
