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.
Facing a team that both DeMars
and USC knows well, the Gamecocks
must realize they need to

| Five S.C.players
drafted by NFL
By The Associated Press
n Five players from the state of South Carolina were picked Monday
in the National Football League draft. 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.
