By the time the smoke had cleared, senior center Darryl Martin and < point guard Terry Gould had been I ejected from the game on the < Gamecocks' side. Because three technicals were assessed on the team, ! USC head coach George Felton was i bound by NCAA rules to leave the I arena also. To make matters worse, an irate ] USC law student was arrested after he knocked a Louisville player on the head during the commotion. ^ On the Cardinals' side, Herbert ^Crook and LaBradford Smith were also thrown out of the game for fighting. Bob Olah, Herman Ramsey and Ben Dunn, the game's officials, allowed too much physical play on both sides.

Basketball players should be used to poor officiating. It isn't unusual to >ee three officials fail to keep up with 10 highly skilled college athletes. To become a champion, one has to beat the opposition and sometimes beat [he officials, too. NBC basketball commentator A1 McGuire made an interesting suggestion during Sunday's game between Temple and North Carolina. In reference to the fights on Saturday, McGuire said he is afraid the brawls will become more vicious until ?omconc gets killed. To prevent a tragedy, McGuire said the NCAA should make players neligible for the next two games each time they arc ejected for fighting. That would make the players think wice about punching cach other on he court. Unfortunately, the feud between he Gamecocks and the Cardinals iiigm nwi ut uvcr. i nc ceams mignt jet a chance to play again in the Vletro Conference tournament. Louisville's Crook said he didn't hink tempers would erupt again if here were a rematch. Gould was also asked if he thought lard feelings would carry over into he tournament.

"We have one more Metro game, Virginia Tech, but regardless of that outcome .... We will get a bye in the first round," l.ady Gamecock head coach Nancy Wilson said. The game was also the last home appearance for USC's five seniors, Monica William*; Dawn Paah I or raine Frazicr and twins Laura and Peggy Glass. As a gesture of thanks, Wilson played the seniors as her starting five. "It's great to have a victory for our seniors," Wilson said. Florida State didn't let those seniors celebrate too early, however. The Lady Seminolcs gave USC a scarc in the first half by making a 15-1 run and surging ahead, 33-24. But the Lady Gamecocks took control in the second half to seal the win. The USC seniors weren't the only ones with a reason to celebrate. Martha Parker, whose birthday was Tuesday, celebrated her 21st birthday one day early by scoring 25 points. Sophomore center Schonna Banner hit 22.

Wilson said she was especially pleased for the team to get a win in the Metro after losing two straight conference eames to Southern Mississippi and Memphis State on the road. Laura Glass said Wilson didn't tell the seniors they would be the starting five Monday. "That was a nice surprise, a nice way to finish out thfc season," Glass said. Although Wilson's squad has already played their last home game, they still have several road games left on the schedule, including the Metro Conference tournament and possibly the NCAA tournament. They will head to Alaska Wednesday to prepare for this weekend's Northern Lights Invitational Tournament. Williams, who plays forward for the Lady Gamecocks, now only needs 11 points to join the USC women's basketball 1,000-point club. Her teammate, junior Parker, scored her 1,000th point earlier this season. "I feel a little bit of sadness, because I know I'm going to miss playing with Martha and everybody else, and all the coaches have been really good to me," Williams said. "But I've enjoyed every minute I've been here at Carolina." ^ ' < ' ' t 1 1 1 1 L 1?1?l?l 1 1 1 1 C 1_ afetT) I! WfS & UVUNDFY J I N A COOPLP i i 1 ?II om Campus !. 5SOM STREET | POINTS ! J!
