State isn’t kingpin any more. ■ For nine of the last 10 years. Coach Everett Case guided State’s Wolfpack to \a conference championship and a high national rating. That’s why pre-season whispers from the Southland that State wasn’t up to par were hard to believe. But Clemson surprised Tuesday night by upsetting the ’Pack, 96-94, for the first time in IS years and Wednesday night came the real shocker — South Carolina’s runaway 75-61 victory over State, the first Gamecock win in Case's reign.

Week's Schedule For Adams County Basketball Teams Friday Elwood at Yellow Jackets. Commodores at Marion Bennett. Adams Central vs Chester Center at Montpelier. Monmouth at Bryant. Lancaster Central at Berne. Geneva at Hartford. Saturday Berne at Adams Central. Wren at Pleasant Mills. In contrast to the Clemson "squeaker”. South Carolina led all the way after the first 10, minutes with a 34-24 halftime margin, fought off a State rally that cut the margin to 38-34 early in the second half, and then breezed home. Sophs Fred Lentz and Ray Pericole had 19 and 18 points, respectively, to lead South Carolina. Fouls Costly Actually, fouls cost N.C. State the game, which was played at Charlotte, N.C. South Carolina had 40 tries from the charity line and sank 27; State had only 14 tries and sank five, wiping out State’s four-basket edge from the floor. The already groggy experts were jolted again Wednesday night when Niagara, tied for the No. 18 national ranking, suffered an 82-79 setback by twice-beaten ‘Syracuse. Niagara was fresh from an easy victory over Seton Hall and seemed on its way up in the national rankings. ? But four other high-ranked teams came through with victories Wednesday night to defy the earlyseason upset wave. North Carolina, ranked No. 2 nationally and heir-apparent to N.C. State’s Atlantic Coast Conference championship, rolled on with an 82-55 rout of George Washington at Norfolk, Va. Dayton Bounces Back Dayton, ranked 10th, bounced back from its upset by De Paul to nip Miami of Ohio, 76-75; 16thranked West Virginia romped over Penn State, 81-66; and Temple, which shares the 18th ranking with Niagara, sank 51 per cent of its shots in defeating Princeton, 67-58. In other leading games Wednesday night: Purdue led all the way in beating De Paul, 83-78, despite 29 points by De Paul’s Dick Heis; Loyola of Chicago tuned up for a Friday date with San Francisco’s national champions by drubbing Kalamazoo, 88-57; Texas edged Oklahoma, 68-62; VMI downed Randolph Macon, 81-66; Harvard beat Tufts, 71-59; Providence defeated Brown, 73-61; and Western Michigan edged Toledo, 81-75. Western Kentucky, ranked 12th nationally, and St. r Louis, conqueror of Kentucky earlier this week, both face tough assignments in feature games tonight. Western tangles with Seton Hall at New York’s Madison Square Garden, while St. Louis plays host to Texas Christian and its high-scoring Dick O’Neal.

Giant Manager Bill Rigney said he was “elated by the deal” and announced that the greying 36-year-old Robinson would play first base for the Giants next season. A Giants spokesman revealed that President Horace Stoneham of the Giants and Walter O’Malley of the Dodgers “closed the deaF’ at the recent major league meeting in Chicago but the announcement was withheld because the executives wanted to reveal the news to the players first. Robinson, first of his race to play major league baseball, thus will bring his fiery talents to the team against which he battled hardest during his spectacular career. A star performer for the Dodgers since 1947, Robinson carried on -® constant feud with former Giant Manager Leo Durocher and always seemed to play at his best against the Giants. —“We always regarded Robinson as the “heart” of the Dodgers,” the Giant spokesman said. “We’re delighted to have him.” Chicago Cubs Buy Los Angeles Player CHICAGO (W — The Chicago Cubs have purchased farmhand K. C. Wise, an infielder, from their Los Angeles affiliate in the Pacific Coast League and have sent catcher Joe Hannah to the Angels in exchange. Wise; the PCC all-star shortstop in 1956 with a .287 batting average, is 24-years-old. Hannah played with the same team last season and batted .272. Refuses To Dismiss Suit. Against NBA NEW YORK (IF) — Federal Judge Sidney Sugarman has refused to dismiss a $1 million damage suit against the National Basketball Association filed by a Washington group, ruling that the group has a claim for which relief can be granted and can sue.

Detroit Lions Favorites To Defeat Bears By UNITED PRESS The records of the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns during the put two seasons show how wellbalanced the competition has become in the National Football League. The Lions, now leading the Western Division with a 9-2 record, finished last in 1955 with a 3-9 mark. The Browns (5-6) probably will finish third or fourth in the Eastern Division this year after winning thejeague championship the last two seasons. Detroit, Western champion from 1952 through 1954, was described as the best last-place team in league history last season when it suffered five of its nine losses by seven points or less. This season the Lions zoomed back to the top because they won the close ones, registering four of their triumphs by four pointe or less. Their two losses were by margins of one and four points. While Detroit bids to become the first NFL club ever to bounce from last to first, Cleveland’s unprecented string of division titles in two leagues finally has been snapped at 10. The Browns lost two games in the final seconds but also won two by a total of seven points while compiling their current 5-6 record. The Lions play the Bears (8-2-1) at Chicago Sunday with the Western title going to the winner. The Bears are tough at Wrigley Field but the Lions are picked to win because of their strong defensive unit. ' - The other weekend selections: Saturday — Eagles (3-7-1) over Giants (7-3-1) at Philadelphia. Sunday — Redskins (6-4) over Steelers (4-7) at Washington; Browns (5-6) over Cardinals (6-5) at Cleveland; Rams (3-8) over Packers (4-7) at Los Angeles; Colts (4-6) over Forty - Niners (4-6-1) at San Francisco.
