Needing only one victory to clinch the title, it figures that Columbia coach Mooney Player will go with his ace.

But he said yesterday that he's undecided between White and Jerry Futch, a so-so pitcher this season. Should White pitch tonight and lose, he will still be available for three innings of relief tomorrow night under the Legion rule that limits a pitcher to 12 innings of work in two consecutive nights. But if the Greenville bats can find the range against their nemesis, they figure to have the edge In the finale, also slated for Meadowbrook Park. Phillips, whose teams have lost in the State finals the last two years running, figures it's about time for his sluggers to break loose against White. "We've hit the ball hard each time we've faced him.

But we always seem to hit the ball right at somebody. We're due to tear loose and it might as well be tomorrow night as any. "In fact, it had better be tomorrow night," he commented with a grin. Phillips will go with his ace, Robert Gillespie, in tonight's game, saving Mike Duvall for tomorrow night.

Classifications are not made by conferences, Sirianni pointed out, and being in the Southern Conference does not automatically make a school be of major standing.

Nor does one sport affect another. East Carolina, along with Davidson and Furman, will be in the major college category this coming basketball season, Sirianni said. "Several other schools are in this situation," he said. 'In the Yankee Conference, for instance, where the members are small college in football but of major category in basketball." admitted that in the case of Davidson, Furman and East Carolina, where they are playing each other, that it causes a problem in deciding the category because if each was labelled major they would in turn cause the other to be. SMALL COLI.IsGli Status Of By LESLIE TIMMS Nfwi Sportt Writer COLUMBIA Spartanburg's Ted Phelps broke up a possible South touchdown pass and scored the winning touchdown to take the Most Valuable Back award as the North defeated the South, 12- in the annual Coaches' Clinic All-Star football game here Thursday night.

A 6-1, 185-pounder who played all backfield positions for Spartanburg High School, Phelps was outstanding on both offense and defense. MOUTH Irst Downs Vardt rushing Yerrts passing Plmt Interception!

A Greer's sturdy and strong middle guard, Steve Greer, was named the outstanding lineman in the clash as the North claimed both of the top awards. i Phelps is headed for Wofford and Greer for the University of Georgia on football scholarships. 1 The winning touchdown came with (o play in the game as Phelps took a pilchout and went wide around left end for the score from three yards out.

Coach Joe Ha7le's North team had gotten the ball at the Soulh 26 when Wren High's J. B. Mer-ritt pounced on a fumble by South fullback Ronald Bunch. The North had drawn first blood on the first play of the second quarter when Eau Claire halfback Ray Weible sprinted up the middle, also from seven yards out. The South scored with 1:56 to play in the third quarter on a seven-yard pass from David Teal of James Island to Marion's Toy McCord, the runner-up for the Most Valuable Back award.

Phelps blocked the extra point try which was nullified because of offsides against the North, and a run for the point after was stopped on the ensuing play. The game had been billed as one pitting the North's running attack against the Smith's strong passing game. The North was itipposed to have the superior defense and it proved it. The South's passing game failed to materialize. Teal, who rent into the game as probably the top passer in the state, com pleted only one of his five at tempts.

His replacement, Tom my F.dens of Sumter, completed three of six attempts. Earl Hunter, the hard-running Parker High fullback who is headed for South Carolina on scholarship, had the top rushing average with 31 yards in eight carries. Weible also gained 31 but he carried the ball 12 times. The lending ground gainer for the South was Bunch who picked up 26 yards on nine carries. The first North touchdown was set up by a sparkling 31-vard punt return by Daniel's Kent Lawrence.

Freddy Munn of York took Richard Lane's punt and handed off to Lawrence who dashed to the 11. Hunter carried four to the seven and Weible burst through for the touchdown. Camden's Bob Lynch blocked the extra point attempt by Warren Nicholson of Byrnes. Being Reviewed By Racquet Shop Bv JIM ANDERSON News Sports Editor Furman ami Davidson were in the small college football category of the National Collegiate Athletic Association last year and their status is being reviewed this week at the NCCA meeting in Chicago, Steve Sirianni of the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau in New York City said yesterday. Although listed among the University division schedule In the bureau's official Football Guide for the 1964 season, Sirianni said the Guide had been prepared before the IN 12 INNINGS By TEAGUE JACKSON Newi Sports Writer Only one question stands between Greenville and a probable State American Legion title.

That question is: Can "invincible" Charlie White be beaten? White, the little lefty that hardly throws hard enough to break a pane of glass but throws a fistful of magic every-time he lets go of the ball. hasn't tasted defeat this season. The Columbia hurler owns a 13-0 record and has taken two decisions from the Greenville lineup in the best-of-seven se ries. The two clubs will square off in Meadowbrook Park at 8 to night with Columbia holding a three-to-two edge in games for tne championship. The Greenville hopes took a turn for the worse late last night when It was learned that Randy Kohn will miss the rest of the series.

Greenville coach Bill Phillips said that Kohn was operated on to set a broken nose at 4 p. m. yesterday and would definitely miss the Columbia games. The young catcher suffered the injury in last Saturday's game in Meadowbrook Park when he tripped over Columbia first baseman Thurston Chavis' feet and sprawled head first in the basepath. Phillips said he would put Reed Watson behind the plate and choose between Ronnie Granger or Tommy Lathem as a replacement.

"This is a blow to us but I think the boys can pick up and win even without Kohn," Phillips said.

A school must play at least half its schedule against major opponents to be considered in the University, or large college division, said Sirianni, who is as.sociate editor of the Football Guide. He said the classifications are being reviewed in light of future schedules. "So far I have no idea how it will be decided," Sirianni said. The new 15 Guide, already out before the '65 categories are decided, has Furman, Straight liefer Jerry Koosman, and it appeared that the rally was at an end before Pacchioli's hit. Gastonia pushed across its first run in the top of the sixth, but the Mets followed with two runs in both the sixth and seventh innings to pull out front.

The Mets took a 5-3 lead into the top of the ninth, but the Pirates picked up two runs to tie as Bob Robertson slammed a home run with one on. Robertson paced the Pirate attack with that home run and two doubles, while both Pac-chioli and Burdette three hits for Greenville.
