Sports Writer RALEIGH Figures seldom lie but in the case of North Carolina States floundering basketball freshman and a me diocre 140 record figures may conceal encouraging truths "This team although not possessing as much overall ability as other freshman teams in thv conference makes up for It in hustle and amazing determination" Wolf let coach George Pickett declared "Because we are lacking In personnel our record is not indicative of the talent we have but as a team and Individually these boys are Improving with every days practice" Pickett who started out the season with three scholarship players suffered added misfortune recently as Don Cox 68" 210 pound center from Lancaster Ohio dropped out of school due to scholastic difficult ies The remaining nucleus of freshman talent in Ron Gossell a 69" 200 pound pivot-man from Ilarvord Ill nd 6' backeort man Les Robinson of St Albans Va has confirmed to bear the brunt of the recently rejuvenated Wolflet attack with surprising support from several non-scholarship youngsters "Gossell is a good big man with tremendous potential" Pickett said "His moves around the bucket are as good as any freshman center In the conference and I shooting touch is getting bet ter every game "Bon has improved his rebounding greatly since the start of the season and when he acquires a little 1110te aggressiveness and confidence he'll be tough to keep out of the varsity lineup" Gossett and Robinson have been the dominant firepower In the improving state freshman attack registering 147 and 167 points in 11 games "Robinson is a fine clutch ballplayer who can do every thing well" Pickett remarked "Les is a good ballhandler and excels especially on fast break Ilis defense a shooting have shown the great est improvement so far and at this rate he should play a lot nt fine basketball before leaving stale" The tan pleasant surprises In the bake of one of State's in distressing freshman seasons are It inson's naming mate In the bark court
