Wadiak Takes Spotlight With Sparkling Running Steve Wadiak, the speedy halfback who has done just about everything possible on a football field this season, added another distinction to his long list Saturday by be coming one of the few men to ever have his team's net rushing less than the total yardage that he personally ac counted for. Wadiak had a total of 102 yards for his af ternoon's work; the net rushing for the entire Carolina team against Maryland was only 94. The Gamecock's have a peculiar habit of being trapped behind the line of scrimmage. Saturday was no different and what might have been a respectable rushing average wias cut sharply by the terrific yardage lost thus.

What is your opinl ion ? Quoting popular opinions on the campus we report the situa-1 tion like this: "Yes, I attribute ite decline to the coaching staff. "No, I attribute h to a number of reasons. For one, not enough money is put out on our team and wIet don't nave enough reserves which are necessary to every suc cessful team. "No. I think that the physical condition of the players is re sponisiblei for the decline." "Yes, I think they need more coaching and less dliplomfacy." "No I think that there are sev eral fac tor s, inicluding injuries and fumbling which has caused us to lose games and niot by poor coach ing. The caliber of the teams lhat we' have lost to are such that ii doesn't necessarily constitute a pour teami to lose to them with te possible exception of WVest Vir ginia in which the abiove men'R t ined factoris were' miost dom i ''Yes, I think any team which has as manaiy inIjur'ies as we do sho'w.. signs of meni beinig in pouor conidi tion. Also thle outstanding tnmber of penalties is a fault of tIlhe coaching." "Yes, it must be1 the lack of good coac'hinig that causes Car'olina to incur so many p)enalties. Be eause' this kind of thing should be ir'onedi out at scrimmliage and the players woni't commit so many p)enalties."' "'No, I am uninformed as to the abiility of the coaching staff. The Carolina team lacks cooperation of team work in complarison to the other' teams of our superb state. This might be attributed to the coaching staff huit most likely the individual players themselves lack the football spirit. As an old gen tlieman in Newberr'y said last week while dliscussing Camrolina's decline during the recent season 'They ne'ver will have a team at Caro lina because the players party too miuch.'

"He's the best looking boxer on the squad," Al derman said. The coach hinted that' Ray Avant may he forced to fight at 145 instead of 155 as Avant, had planned, because of the fast progress shown by Temple. "Temple looks better than Avant or Lewis, or anyone on the sqaad, for that matter," the coach de clared. Pie -season dopesters have fig ured the starting Carolina boxing team to be: 125--Joe Stringer; 130 -Pete Compassi; 135-Grady De cell; 145-Ray Avant; 155-Harry Temple; 165-Sylvester Lewis; 175--none named; heavyweight Bill Rutledge. I Behi nd these probable first line men come Fhetcher Dean at 130, Red Douglas at 145, and Jim Briggmani at 165, all holdovers from last year's team. Carolina is still without a for miidale light-heavy. No one has becen namedl by Alderman in this weight bracket although the Skin ner brtothers, Roy and James, were used( last year.

Cross-Country Team Engages Clemson Today Carolina's cross-country team will have its first schedbled meet of the season when they match forces with Clemson's distance runners at Clemson this afternoon. The tentative :;quad announced by Coach Weems Baskin is com Ward, Foster Marshall, and Ken neth Dean. Jim Meriwether, a vet eran performer on teams in the past, will not he able to compete this year because of an injured leg. The only other meet that has been scheduled thus far iA the Southern Conference meet at Chapel Hill, Monday, Nov. 15. Coach Baskin has oeen unable to work a great deal with the team because of his football coaching hores and therefore the team has been working out almnt entirely on their own. Cross-country races cover a dis Lance of about 4 1/4 miles over uneven terrain. In the course of a race the runner may run part of the time on paved roads and part of the time across fields and through paths. Judges are sta tioned along the way to see that no "short cuts" are taketi.

C.t Wake Fores Take On Bid By LLOYD L The highly-touted Biddies, ball proficiency, meet perhal season when they face the Forest t6night at 8 oclock ui sity stadium. The little Deacons bring to town one of the most highly publicized high school backs in the entire South in Nub Smith, the Fayette ville flash who was the talk of the Carolinas last year. He piled up an amazing average as he led his high school team to an undefeated season and a large crowd is ex pected to see Smith and a stalwart bunch of Baptists battle it out with Boyle, Woodlee and company. The Biddies will be slightly fa vored t least in local circles on the strength of Boyle's passing, if the big Brooklyn boy has regained the form that made him th, hottest thing in Carolina football a few weeks ago as he gave the most amazing exhibition ever seen at the stadium. Last week Boyle ws way off but he still managed to throw Unheralded Et As New Defens By LEONAt lZated as one of the mos the Gamecock squad at the Pasky has become one of the t but from a halfback position. Last year Pasky came out of comparative obscurity to give Bo Hagan some much needed rest af ter first-stringer Droopy Atwell wats hurt in the Wake Forest game. Against the Deacons and against the Duke Blue Devils, Pasky turn ed in good performances and fig ured heavily in Carolina's showing against these two teams. A sharp passer, good kickwr. and smart field general, Pasky opened the 1948 season as second string quarterback behind the veteran Hagan, but this was before Coach Rex Enright ran short of defen sive halfbacks. In the Clemson game all of Enright's halfbacks needed rest and new strcngth wan needed in the backfield to stop the Tigers' potent ground and air at Wck so Ed got the calL. Pasky looked so good on defense that day that he has been used as the regular defensive halfback ever since.

It was the 165-pound Woodlee, however, who stole the show against Furman. Woodlee pleased the crowd many times as he took the ball around his ends for long gains. He's a fast, shifty halfback who can really go once he gets in to the opponents' secondary and tonight's game might turn into a duel between Woodlee and Smith. - Boyle has been slightly injured all week but is expected to be able to go tonight at full strength. He injured both his arm and his leg in the Furman game but neither will likely impair his efficiency. If Boyle did happen to be unable to play, the Biddies would become a two-touchdown underdog. Pasky Stars ive Halfback 1) D)UCKI'TT L promising q1uarterbacks On beginning of the season, Ed ip defensive men on the team, and again it was he who went far out of his position to bat down a pass in the end zone with touch down written all over it. In the West Virginia game he was equal ly as good, always playing heads up ball and quickly diagnosing enemly plays. Physically, Pasky is well equip ped to handle his new position.

Against Maryland Saturday, Pasky was one of the defensive standous of the game. His half back position proved to be one of the busiest places on the field as the fleet Maryland backs repeat edly tore through big holes in the Gamecock forward wall only to be albruptly shaken from any touch lown aspirations by a jarring tacke by the big No. 29.
