Birds and Hu Chick'en In The Rough By Chick Shiels CLEMSON 0-CAROLINA 0 Back on the roost after the usual term-ending leave, but with a story of the pigskin classic of this year's State Fair. Carolina had been the decided under-dog all the way along after being pounced upon by Duke (60-0) and the Alabama Crimson Tide (55-0), thus most of the cash was on the Ti gers who sported "backs" galore with big name "operators" on the side. The word came from Clemson town that Coach Howard could send his "battlers" down Capital City way to play "that little high school team" without his even coming along. This slap in the face, coupled with the spirit to win and fine general condition proved the Gamecocks were to be reckoned with. The fortnight preceding the main event saw Johnny McMillan doing all in his power to get the lads ready with the Birds going through long, hard hours of drill. Game time, the national anthem, toss of the coin and the battle was on in full fu.y. The stands were packed to over flowing and standing room was a thing of the past. It was terrific! Here we saw (Sitting right next to some of Clem son's writers) the Clemson Tiger baring his six year molars at the Gamecock only to find a sharp spur in his eye. Time and time again the cat went deep into the Garnet and Black territory only to be set back. Between Junior Meeks, Phil Ball, Jim Mortimer and the rest of that -tout Carolina line, they staved off a score. Here also ve noted the over publi cized Ralph Jenkins, Clemson pivot, doing nothing of merit. He registered one tackle for the day's work and that's far from top notch play for one who possessedI so many laurels. Slender, ever-smiling Junior Meeks, showed the Tiger center the exact way home. Meeks, working the full sixty minutes, was a mainspring in the Carolina defense. His consistency was a decided inspiration to the rest of the aggregation. Well, the first quarter rolled by with nothing more than a threat; the second quarter saw the beginning of numerous penalties which really hurt the over-confident visitors. Dyer, a speedy little back for the Purple and Gold, on the first play of the second quarter skirted the Bird right flank to go to the 3, but again the line held. This seemed to set the gang on their toes and the threat was stopped on the 5 as Carolina took the ball on downs. As the half ended with a deafening roar, the score stood at 0-0 when the Tigers were to have amassed copious quantities of points by this time. After the half time ceremonies the clubs began tooth and nail for the final round. The third quarter was nothing more than a see-saw affair for both clubs. Probably the most thrill ing play of the entire match vas on Clemson's Butlers' punt that ole "T. D." Isom took on the dleadl run andl raced back fifty yardls before b)eing brought dlown from the rear as he was goal line bound. And we MECAN! It seemed as if the Carolina crew~ w'ere making their first RECAL attempt at a decided offense as Ray M\aginn and Bill C'arr were both pitch ing strikes to Buddy Ecades. With ('arr, Brembs and newcom er Bobby G;iles digging in, the ball went all the way to the Tiger 19 yardl line but the threat wvas halted as the lads suf fered a costly fivey yard- penalty for off-sides. The game con tinuedl until Buck Isom intercep)ted Butler's p)ass on the Gamecock 26 to end the hostilities. As the Carolina crowd surged out onto the field, shaking hands with all of the Birdl crew, there was a victorious feeling in the South Carolina standls even though the game endled in a zero-zero knot. It was a moral win from all sidles for the McMillan-coached clan and we're sure that the next meeting of these two clubs will have to be something out of this world to equal this thriller.

The movement for a boxing team here at Carolina seems to have started. With the male enrollment of the University having increased to well over a thousand this semester there should be enough material to spon sor an eight man intercollegiate boxing team. There is plenty of competition to be furnished by neighboring school boxing teams, and the Fighting Gamecocks have the material to produce a winning team. There are numerous fighters on t he campus. Buck Isom. a very effi Icient fighter. showed much promise in his one Lght here at Carolina. Buck used to light when he was with the fleez. "Seaman" Saul is anotlier fleet fighter, not to mention the two kids from Florence. Dick Dusenbury and Timmy Lyles. Dick and Jimmy both were students of Trescot Johnson the forem'ost boxing coach in the South. Other eligible fighters are Bliacky Stoweis and Jack Summerlin. ex Miami University fighters; Johnny Kilpatrick and Joey Peidmont, ex SeaBees; and Lucky McCtitchen, a veteran. who was the former light heavy weight champion of North and South Carolina. Not only is there a surplus of fighting material. but also coaching. Doc.

Schmidt And Scruby Start Miami Game Miami football fans will have the opportunity to see a home town boy who has really made good when the University of South Carolina Game cocks square off in the Orange Bowl tonight against the strong University of Miami Hurricanes. Frank Monerief Scruby. the Game cock's starting right end, played high school football at Miami Edi son and then attended the Univer sity of Miami for two years before he was sent to Carolina in the Naval training program. lie is now a Na val ROTC student. Scruby played tackle at the Uni versity of Miami, but didn't win a letter. Now having attained the ad vanced age of 19 years, this lanky Floridian has blossomed out in re cent weeks as one of the best de fensive players on the Gamecocks' roster. Coach John McMillan yanked Scruby off the third team and start ed him against Clemson week be fore last. He played 55 minutes of excellent football, and was one of the principal reasons why the Birds were able to fight the favored Tig ers to a scoreless tie. Scruby will start tonight against his former Alma Mater, and his coaches are confident that his fam ily and friends in the Florida me tropolis won't be disappointed in what they see.

The boys played harder, hel t or foot ball against the Tigers than they knew they were capable of, and they like the feeling. We hope to continue that kind of work fiom hele on out." McMillan also added. "Miami Is one of the strongest teams in the South. and don't let anyone tell you different. They are a smooth and well balanced outfit. Their defense is air tight."

The team is in a great frame of mind for the Miami tilt. Ifampered by the fact that two of the Birds' outstanding linemen were lost due to graduation and the fact that many of the team are ail ing, Coach Johnny Mac has had his hands full trying to fill the gaps in his files. Raymond Maginn. usually the Bird's first string left halfback, has been kept away from practice for several days through illness, and probably won't be ready to start; howevet. Billy Carr, a slender Na val ROTC trainee from Cario. Ga., who was the offensive star of the Alabama game with his running and passing, will be in there. An other tailback who will see lots of service against Miami is Ed Mc Millan, who won a letter at Duke last year as a Naval Trainee and returned to the Carolina campus recen tly. The guard spot vacated by the transfer of Phil Ball will be taken over hy Pete Lane. a veteran who has just leturned to the University. Tex Radenz. who was George Mc Donald's understudy at left tackle, which was formerly held by Henry Couch. The starting lineup for the home team will probably be Frank Scru by and Ire Schmidt at ends, Tex Radenz and George McDonald at tackles. Pete Lane and Hank Bot kins at guaids, and dependable Ju nior Meeks at center. In the backfield. Coach Mac will have Bobby Giles at the fullback spot. Billy Carr and Dutch Brembs at the halves. and Buck Isom in the quarterback position. 'HE WAY ND CO. Columbia, S.
