JVCAA bu By PATRICK VILLEGAS Assistant Sports Editor The 21st-ranked USC men's tennis team will play their final regular season game against the Clemson Tigers this Saturday in a match that could help pave the Gamecock's road to an automatic NCAA Championship bid. The Gamecocks, with a Region JI record of 9-0, leads all Region II %ams by two or more games. By solidifying the region title this weekend with a win against ciemson, USC will have made it to the championships for its third straight year and will have gained the automatic NCAA berth. USC head coach Kent DeMars said that even though the Gamecocks will be favored, Clemson is a scary team to face. "They, are very legitimate and ^ery dangerous," he said. "They nave had some good wins to hang their hats on." This past year, the Tigers have beaten nationally ranked teams such as California-Irvine and Atlantic Coast Conference champion Duke.

Two of those five played for the Gamecocks, led by linebacker Corev Miller, who went in the sixth round when the New York Giants made him the 167th player picked. "I couldn't be in a better situation," Miller said. "I'm going to a great organization." The Giants have talked about moving the 6-foot-2, 250-pound Miller to tight end, which he played at Pageland Central High School. "I wouldn't mind playing tight end. I really enjoy it," Miller said. "He doesn't score many, but for the Giants, he is a very important part of the game." USC running back Mike Dingle, whose stock plunged after a poor senior season, was an eighth-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals as the 211th player selected overall. Dingle will join his former backfield | mate, Harold Green, a second-round pick in 1990. The final player picked from the state was USC offensive guard Ike Harris, who was picked in the 12th and final round by Seattle as the | 324th player picked. I USC had only one player picked Sunday ? offensive tackle Calvin Stephens, who was picked in the third round by New England. Overall, the Gamecocks had three players selected through the 11th round.
