Tennis Continu and faced two consecutive match points before coming back for the win. Herman said he knew the team really needed his match and that the Gamecocks' encouragement helped him raise his play to a higher level. "When I was down double-match point at 3-5, I started to get a little nervous, but the pressure helped me play better," Herman said. "I looked over and saw the whole team and the coaches supporting me, and it really got me fired ^p." Herman's match was crucial for USC, allowing the Gamecocks to go to the doubles competition with the match tied 3-3. DeMars pointed to the extra individual effort displayed by Herman as an example of his team's balanced talent at each position. "Dave has painful tendonitis in both knees that hurt his mobility, but he hung in there and took the match because the team needed it." Herman, coming off of a one-year layoff caused by an ankle injury, normally plays at the often underestimated and overlooked No.6 singles position, compiling a teambest 21-4 record. But playing a position that isn't always in the spotlight doesn't seem to bother him. "I'm just happy to be playing I llffyV I S I 0*N Bring this ad to H.

In the doubles, USC's No.l team of Simian and Diller came up with a straight-set victory over the Bulldogs' Childs and Middleton, 6-3, 6-4. The No.2 team of Steve Longley and Richard Lynch were slowed by Longley's injury and succumbed 7-5, 6-3 to Georgia's Parker and Enochs. With the match tied 4-4, USC's No.3 team of Louie Gloria and Erick Sydow displayed more heroics with an exciting three-set victory that clinched the upset for the Gamecocks. Gloria and Sydow played tough in the latter stages of their third set to defeat the Bulldogs' Francisco Montana and Jack Frierson, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5. The Gamecocks hope the big win against Georgia will give them some momentum going into their match tomorrow against the ninth-ranked Tigers. "Clemson is our key rivalry of the season," DeMars said. "There will undoubtedly be intense competition on both sides as we battle for bragging rights of the state." More than just bragging rights will be at stake, however, as the winner of tomorrow's match will most likely be the Southeastern Region Champion and receive an automatic bid to the i.

Americans believe the colleges with the best athletic teams falsify grades and pay athletes under the table, a Media General-Associated Press poll found. Sizable majorities in the national survey said NCAA Division I schools overemphasize their athletic programs and neglect academic requirements for athletes. Eight in 10 favored tighter scholarship standards. As college sports this past week staged its most celebrated annual event, the NCAA basketball championship, the survey of 1,108 adults revealed broad concern about the integrity of sports programs at Division 1 colleges. Seventy-six percent said colleges should not be permitted to pay money to their student athletes. Yet more than 55 percent said they believed schools and booster clubs commonly make such payments secretly. Those suspicions were even more pronounced among college sports fans. Sixty-three percent Said they believed the schools make secret payments, while just 51 percent of non-fans thought that was the case. The random-sample poll, conducted by telephone March 6-15, had a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points. Despite the concerns, the survey found strong interest in college sports, with 54 percent calling themselves fans. Even fans, however, agreed solidly that the schools neglect academics and place too much emphasis on sports. An overwhelming majority ? more than eight in 10 respondents ? favored the provisions of the NCAA's controversial Proposition 42, which would prevent schools from giving athletic scholarships to players who fail to meet the NCAA's academic requirements.

The rule does not go into effect until the 1990-91 season, and Thompson ended his walkout after the NCAA said it would reconsider the rule. However, 81 percent of the blacks in the survey favored Prop 42, as high a level of support as among whites. And eieht in 10 sunnorters. blacks as wpII as whirps sairl thpv would favor the rule even if it could disqualify many blacks and other minority athletes from scholarships. Blacks were less critical than whites of Division I programs overall. Forty-three percent of blacks believed colleges make secret payments to athletes, for example, while 59 percent of whites suspected it. A third of blacks favored legalizing such payments; just 16 percent of whites agreed. As well as black respondents, the youngest ? aged 18-29 ? were more supportive of Division I programs, while those over 64 were more critical. While 77 percent of the oldest group said the schools overemphasize sports, for instance, that fell to 61 percent of the youngest and 52 percent of blacks. While 39 percent of blacks accepted current academic standards, that fell to 30 percent of the youngest group and 18 percent of the oldest. The NCAA allows Division I colleges to set their own grade requirements for student athletes, and standards vary. In the poll, 93 percent said a "C" average or better should be required for a student to play sports. But there was a significant lack of faith in the grading process itself. Fifty percent called it common practice for professors to give student athletes higher grades than they deserve so they can continue to play. Just 32 percent doubted that occurs, while 18 percent said they were unsure. CONGRATULATIONS : i SUE \ You're finally going to graduate. (I Way To Go! )) Love.
