Wake-] Glance At '4 Finds Carol By LEONARD DUCKE'' The annual Turkey Day game between Carolina and Wake For est brought down the curtain on another Gamecock football season and left the Birds holding a sea son's record of three wins against five losses. At the beginning of the season local writers boosted the Game cocks as potentially the' best team ever to represent the Garnet and Black in recent years. Coach Rex Enright argued that he didn't have the line material or reserves to have a highly successful year. En right was correct. One of the best backfield com binations -seen here this year proved incapable of winning games with the little help that the line gave them, offensively and defen sively. Opening up against Newberry, Carolina only opened up her big guns in thp first part of the game, then allowed the reserves to help run up a 46-0 score. In the second game it was the surprisingly strong Furman line that kept Bird big guns silenced and played Caro lina to a standstill for 56 minutes. With four minutes to go, Bishop Strickland, still the Mullins flash, rammed over for the score that proved the margin of victory. The next weekend they traveled to New Orleans to meet the power ful Tulane Green Wave. With the aid of a few breaks and heads-up ball, the Greenies were held score NW MY- GOOD 40NGLEURS, HAVE A CARE NOW YOU BREATHE THIS SARCAROLE..NTO THE EARS Of YON & NYE OF SORORITY NYMPHS.

Then came the game. The day was Big Thursday and the oppon ents were Carolina and Clemson in the annual State Fair classic. The Birds went on the field as two touchdown underdogs but led the Tigers for 56 minutes. In the first period a 43-yard run by Steve Wadiak and a pass from Hagat, to Wilson netted the Birds seven points. Early in the fourth quar ter Clemson capitalized on a Caro lina fumble for a score and later scored on a blocked kick. The final score was 18-7. This was the turning point of the season. West Virginia was next and after being outplayed com pletely the first half, came back to hand the Gamecocks a 35-12 shellacking. A week later the Birds suffered a similar defeat at the hands of the Maryland Old Liners, 19-7. Things looked a little brighter when Carolina was able to shake loose Steve Wadiak for two touch downs and Bishop Strickland for one as they trounced hapless Tulsa, 27-7, and talk of an upset for Wake Forest was in the air.

This player re fused to be pushed around and sub sequently, the Deacons made few sizeable gains around or over his end. Red Wilson proved again that he can till hold his own with the big boys. Red has come a long way since he started at Carolina in 1946, his greatest year for the Birds. Last fire. This, no doubt, was due to Catfish Smith's resignation as end coach. Red unhesitatingly gives Catfish credit for his brilliant freshman season. Under Smith's fiery tongue-lashings, Wilson was the scourge of all opponents. Today, Red is an accomplished end. He has learned fast, devei oped his Pass-receiving and has added a few pounds to an already powerful frame. He has one more year of eligibility under Rex En right and end coach Ted Petoskey. Barring injuries, 1949 should be Red's year to gain a first-string spot on the All-Southern club. He missed it this year, but it wasn't his fault.

A bad pass from center on fourth down gave Wake Forest the ball deep in Carolina territory early in the first quarter and they promptly chalked up six points, Gregus going over for the score. The Gamecocks fought back after receiving the kick'-off with Strick lantl and Ed Jackson leading the way and, as the quarter ended, had the ball on the Wake Forest five, first down and ten to go. Four tries at the line failed and the Deacons took over, still on the five-yard line. From this point the Gamecocks never had a chance to get back in the ball game. With the ball on the Carolina 40, Ashley Phillips dropped back to kick. The highly touted Wake Forest end, John "Red" O'Quinn, came into the game for the first time and im mediately lived up to his press notices by blocking the kick. It bounded to the Carolina three-yard line where O'Quinn scooped it up and stepped into the end zone for another touchdown. Again with about three see oius refailning In tihe half, wmquinn showed the crowd why he was chosen on the UP all-confer ence first team. After a third down pass in the end zone fell in complete, O'Quinn leaped high into the air behind two Gamecock de fenders to take Carroll Black erby's pass to make the score 19-0. The second half went much as the first with the exception of a Carolina scoring threat. In the second half there was none. The Deaes, depending almost entirely on running plays, ripped the fast weakening Bird line to shreds while a hard charging Wake For est line kept the Carolina ground game effectively bottled up. In spite of the score, thore were some bright spots for Carolina supporters. Bishop Strickland showed his old form in blasting through the big Deacon line nu merous times to spearhead the Gamecock offensive. The biggest surprise of the af ternoon to most people was the running of Ed Jackson from Rock Hill. Carrying mostly on fast 9I opening plays inside the tackles, the shifty, hard running Jackso't broke loose seveiral times for nice gains andl, once or twvice, one strategic block wvould have put him in the clear. i HOUSE E-COOKED MEALS M.
