...Irion was charged with his fourth foul early in the second half, and the Gamecocks' freshman center Jim Graziano went to work. Dwarfing converted forward Gary Ackerman, Graziano banged home an incredible 11 straight hoops to put South Carolina...

Bending elbows and ears at the festivities were some 1,000 friends and customers, including Secretary of State William P. Rogers, Ed Sullivan, Rocky Graziano, Frank Gifford, W. Averell Harriman, and Larry O'Brien (who held up a T shirt emblazoned: I'M A DEMOCRAT-DONT BUG ME). "Hello, Big John!" Toots roared as he bussed fellow Restaurateur Jack Dempsey. The former champion answered with a playful right to the jaw. Said...
