SOUTH CAROLINA QU|NT
EASY FOR H|LlTOPPERS

GEORGETOWN had no trouble defeat
ing the University of South Carolina
at basket ball at the Hilltop last
night, by a score of 81 to Il. The
players from the Palmetto state were
inexperienced and crude in COM
parison to the Rlue and Gray, and
while the score at the end of the
first half was only 13 to 10, indicating
very close play. 1t nevertheless was
apparent that Georgetown was by
far the better team.
In the opening half Georgetown
probably missed twenty shots from
favorable positions. 1t seemed that
the ball just would not go in the
basket. The leather sphere hit the
rim and bounded away. twisted
around the inner circle and then
snaked it's way outside, but seldom
found its way down through the net.
About the only time there was
much of a thrill for the spectators
was when Georgetown opened UP
with some shots from the middle of
half opened and Flavin dropped the
ball through the net four times or
brilliant tosses that never even
touched the iron rim. And probably
not more than three minutes elapsed
between the first and last of the
four shots.
South Carolina played fair game
comparatively speaking. and was
strong in the two forward positions
However. its defense and center
never seemed able to keep up with
Wallace and Wright. who did most
OF the shooting. most of the floor
work and nearly all the defensive
play shown by their team.
In the closing minutes George
town sent in an entire substitute
team. which held its own with the
visitors.

If not better, against the Tigers as

athletes and the whole lot have played
