BILL CURRIE
mmm
Mouth
of the South
All-American
It does, of course, make a nicemomentoto hang in one’s den, but
the All-America distinction is so flavored with politics and fre
quently so totally lacking in merit that when one is passed
over, he should feel no pain and exhibit no resentment
Actually, the weakness of All-America teams is easily seen
when one stops to recall how consistent has been the failure of
the team members to succeed in the professional ranks. Of course
some All-Americans are successful professional players, but many
are not. Moreover, it is ridiculous to name 10 players to an All-
America team without regard to positions. A man playing
guard is not in any way comparable to a man in the pivot, and once
two pivot men are selected, no more should be able to crash the
charmed circle. Yet virtually every All-America team selects
10 players--period.
Each college and university in the country has a Sports In
formation Director. In turn, this worthy may have one or two full
time assistants, a secretary, and student part-time help. It is his
job to distribute information to the news media about the various
athletic teams fielded by his instruction. Of course, he is also
charged with landing as many All-Conference and All-America
positions for his players as he can. This is a job of salesman
ship, and the better the press agent, the more likely his players
are to succeed. ^
It is no problem to make a fairly adequate football player at
Notre Dame into an All-American. Lookback over the years,
and you will see that the Irish almost always have one and fre-
quenUy several in the ranks to the country’s best. This is true,
too, with Kentucky, UCLA, and to a lesser degree of North Caro
lina, Duke and a number of other schools throughout the country.
When Fred Hetzel made All-America at Davidson, it was a minor
miracle because he actually had to make it. The ’Cats didn’t even
have a fulltime SID at the time.
On the other side of the argument however, it must be said
that failure of a player to make it in professional ball does not
always mean he did not deserve his All-America selection. Sure
ly most everyone will concede that Dan Issel of Kentucky is one
of the top two collegiate centers in the country. Yet he is
viewed by the professionals as a marginal player for the play-
for-pay circuit. He is too small to be a pivot man in the pros,
and when he moves outside his shooting leaves a great deal to be
desired. A rather fourth rate pivot man at LSU made Dapper
Dan look sick when he loved outside and the National TV audience
watched. Of course in the game Issel scored 52 points, which was
a fair country day.

A pfaffer Ins Just about got to be on a winning team to make the
grade. There have been exceptions, but not many and not often. If
anyone makes the concensus All-American in the ACC it will
boil down between John Roche of South Carolina and Charlie
Scott of North Carolina. Roche is a strong possibility because of
the success of the Gamecocks. Scott is a possibility because of
his heavy pre-season blowup. Both have played well and both are
top flight performers. Probably only one will make the team.
Davidson’s Mike Maloy made several teams la^t season, but he
has not played as well as a senior as he did as a Junior, and much
of the ’Cat publicity this season has gone to a sophomore guard,
Bryan Adrian. Thus, big Mike is hurt in his repeat possibilities,
but even so, he may make it, again on the pre-season buildup.
Playing in New York helps. If New York writers and broad
casters are impressed they will say so, and what they say impres
ses the rest of the country. I, for instance, have no idea whether
St. Bonnie's Lanier should make it, because I have not seen
him play. But l will probably vote for him on the basis of what I
have read. And then, we all know that to do anything in New York,
one must be much smarter than the people who do the same thing
anywhere else.
You believe that?
Then you’ll probably take the All-America teams seriously.

Did ya hear
about the one
that
got away?
We 've heard about the Savings Bond that
got lost. About the one that got stolen.
And the one that got burned.
We’ve heard them all.
But don’t think you could ever really lose
your U.S. Savings Bonds. Because they
don’t really get away. Least not for long.
That’s because Bonds are replaceable.
And we replace them. For a duplicate or
for full payment. Whichever you like.
You know, your government is about as
safe a place as you can make an investment.
Sign up for the Payroll Savings Plan where
you work. Or buy Bonds where you bank.
Don’t let this one get away.

Wildlife Dept.
Gives Report On
Lake Conditions
General fishing conditions
throughout the state have changed
little during the past week. Fish
ermen will generally find large-
mouth bass, white bass, crappie
and catfish cooperative.
The water level in Hartwell
Reservoir continues to rise. The
color of the Reservoir itself is
clear and the streams are color
ed as the result of runoff.
The walleye pike have not com
menced their spring run in the
Tugaloo River as yet. Fishermen
are picking up pike in the river
using deep running lures and
large minnows.
Fisheries Biologist Bill Will
iams reports that the walleye
generally will not start its spawn
ing run until the water tempera
ture reaches approximately 49
degrees. Presently the water
temperature is approximately 43
degrees and he believes that the
run may start about March 1.
Although a large number of the
introduced walleyes in Hartwell
Reservoir use the Tugaloo River
as a spawning area, there is
no doubt that other parts of the
lake shoreline may also be ac
ceptable to the fish when spawn
ing. Spawning areas for walleye
pike consist of clean, heavy
rubble and this may be in the
form of rip-rap along highway
and railroad fields and across the
the bank. The Little River Sec
tion has been a good area.
Crappie fishermen are finding
minnows a good bait when fish
ing in approximately six feet of
water around stumps and flooded
brush.
Greenwood Lake fishing is con
fined primarily to largemouth
bass and crappie. F ishing is gen
eral over the lake and the Saluda
River immediately below the dam
offers good fishing opportunities
for those who do not have a boat.
Lake Murray continues to be
good for both largemouth and
white bass. The mostpopular bait
are Little Cleos and fishing is in
the shallow water along the shore.
Many white bass are being taken
in six to eight feet of water
while walking the banks. No one
area seems to be better than any
other and fishing is gener
ally good.
Crappie fishing is rated as fair,
fishing is six to 10 feet of water
close to shore and using minnows.
Flooded brush and stumps are
attractive spots for this species.
Catfish fishing is rated as fair,
using cut bait on trot lines.
Bream in Lake Murray have not
started to bite as yet
The water level in Lake Murray
is rising as a result of the recent
rainfalls.
Lake Marion has not been af
fected as yet by the discolored
water coming into the Congaree
River. The Congaree is rising
