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

less for a half, but the Gamecocks
finally succumbed to the heat and
a superior team, 14-0.
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. The
38-0 licking from these Buptila-s i
still fresh in the minds of every
one to merI more than the barest
Still hearing the cries of "Wait'
till next yearl" ringing around
University stadium, that is just
what we will do.

Wins Praise For
By JOE MOLONY
He wasn't outstanding against
Wake Forest. He didn't charge
th--ough to smear the ball-carrier
for huge losses. But he did play
his usual bang-up game at left end
for Carolina and that was good
enough to stamp Roger"Red" Wil
son the Gamecock's Lineman of the
Week.
Red has consistently held his'
he's been so steady that his follow
ers have become somcwhat spoiled.

victory over the Birds, there was
one stocky figure which failed to
become overawed. 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.

out a dismal season Thanks
AL 38-0 loss to the Demon
ie bowl bound Deacons took
ortunity to swamp the Birds
ed in the series between the
two schools.
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.
