The University of South Carolina
football team travels to Nashville, Tenn.,
tomorrow to battle SEC foe Vanderbilt
in an important game for both teams. .
The game will be televised as the Jef- ^
ferson Pilot SEC Game of the Week. 1118
Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m.
The Gamecocks (4-3,3-2 SEC), who g1
have given up 97 points in their last two
games, need this game to keep any hope i.ai
of postseason play. The Commodores (33,1-3
SEC) are coming off a huge win ^01
over Georgia between the hedges in
Athens.
Carolina has picked up offensively a^
in the last two weeks, putting 78 points
on the board, but the defense has not
been effective since the ISU game. Steve
Taneyhill seems to have the offense down
now, passing for four touchdowns against
Mississippi State and throwing for 200 ?
yards and one interception. *or
The Gamecocks managed just 125 ^
yards on the ground against MSU, while aa3
the Bulldogs ran for 254 yards, with
Micheal Davis leading the attack with ?0E
120 yards. USC gave up 380 total yards I0?
to the Bulldogs and five touchdowns,

STEPHANE SIMON Staff Writer Cc
Last Thursday marked in the return ^
of the NBA preseason as the New York
Knicks took on the Philadelphia 76ers
in North Charleston Coliseum. The w.
Knicks, a loser to Houston in the *94 Fi- m
nals, rolled over the 76ers, 112-83.
76er coach and General Manager 01
John Lucas said both teams appeared m
to have different ambitions as the teams w
prepare for the upcoming season.
"We've got a long way to go. They ^
(the Knicks) are a team that is on a mission,
and we looked like a team that was "
afraid," Lucas said. ?*
In fact, the game was played pri- Pj
marily under one basket soon after the P1
opening tip-off, as the 76ers trailed by .
13 points at the half. The game was ^
highlighted by questionable referee calls ^
due to the new hand-checking rule.
The game was played in a atmosDhere
uncharacteristic of the Knicks,

but the play in the paint showed once ri
again the Knicks still mean business. ^
