L THfc CUMON CHKOMCLt J ThurtMlay, December 4, 1958 BlueStockings Shift Gears For Basketball Season Basketball picks up the sports pace from football without missing a bounce at Presbyterian College as the Blue Hose open at Furman tonight (Thursday). They return for their first home game against the strong Citadel Biillodgs this Saturday evening Game time is 8:00 p m in Leroy Springs gymnasium Although four of the five starters art* back from last year's squad, Coach Courts Bedford points to some very real problems in giving a general preview of his squad today Lack of height, inadequate depth and inexperienced pivot can didates will make the 1957-58 record of 16 wine and 8 losses difficult to match. In addition. Bedford feels all opponents are improved this year Presbyterian is expected to put a hustling quintet on the floor The Hosemen hope to make up for short stature with speed, tight defense and sharp shooting. Starting forwards Balph Cham bers of Chicago, and Bob Stratton of Lawrenceburg, Ky., are back after sparking the attack last year. Team captain .Chambers set the pace w ith 409 total points and a 17 points per game average, while Stratton followed closely with 400 and a 16.5 average. The guard positions are in the capable hands of two senior spark plugs who combine set shot pro ficiency with talented floor work and ball handling They are tfi"n Caswell of Paris, Ky,, who averag ed 14 points each game last season, and Bill Sullivan, of Frankfort. Ind., a 13.3 average scorer who also added 6 assists per contest. Sullivan serves as co-captaip again this sea son Center poses the big problem Coach Bedford is hard pressed to replace the shoes filled alternately by the now graduated Wyatt Aikee of Greenville, and Clayton Adams of Philadelphia, the only two letter- men lost from last year The pivot mantle likely will fall on Sonny Wells, a senior from Summerton, or Mickey Long of Greenville. Wells has the necessary height, but both lack experience. William B.
