Big Thursday Slows
Intramural Activity
By RUDY THIGPEN
Big Thursday celebrations had
a disastrous effect on intramural
sports last week with forfeits be
ing the order of the day. There
were seven forfeits and two games
postponed in all four leagues.
In Independent League 11 the
Carovets took their first loss of
the season when they forfeited to
the Chemical Engineers but then
came back Monday afternoon to set
down Coker 2nd in the first two
games, 15 to 5 and 15 to 6. New
man Club forfeited to Tenements
19 & 20 Monday afternoon after
having postponed their previous
game with Maxcy 3rd. Maxcy then
pulled a similar play by forfeiting
to the Chemical Engineers.
In the game between Tenement
29 and Tenements 2 & 3 in League
I, both teams failed' to show up
with the result that they were both
charged with a forfeit and con
sequent loss. NROTC were victors
in their game with ASME by the
score of 15 to 4 and 15 to 9. The
Faculty was given a win when
ASCE failed to show up for their
game Monday afternoon.
Games for next week include
ASME vs. Tenements 2 & 3, Maxcy
3rd vs. Carovets, Pi Kappa Sigma
vs. A.T.O., and Sigma Nu vs. Phi

seemed pleased at the new pros

for more men to turn out for the
team.
Those interested in joining the
team should see him any afternoon
after 3 p. m. at the pool. Fresh
men as well as upperclassmen are
needed and are asked to turn out.
In the diving department, however,
is where the greatest need cqEnes.
No divers have come out for the

diving experience at all is urgently
needed.

Biddies B&
Play Mia
By BOB WALLACE
The rampaging Biddies of Couch
Frankie Johnson will go up against
Miami's Baby Wind tonight in the
Orange Bowl at Miami.
About 17,000 cheering fans
watched the Biddies defeat the
Clemson "Cubs" last Wednesday
night in Carolina stadium. This
was the second game for the Bid
dies and they lived up to pre-game
expectations by winning 40 to 20.
The Cubs were stopped on their
own 43 after making one first
down following the kickoff and
were forced to kick to Wilson on
the Biddie 15. Gene returned to
the Clemson 43. The Biddie offen

Korn were dropped for heavy losses
on successive running plays. Bob
Paredes of the Cubs took Wilson's
punt and returned for 43 yards
before being stonned by Wilson At.
the last moment. The Carolina for
ward wall held and the Cubs kicked
out of bounds on the Biddie 30.
Wilson then picked up 26 yards and
a Gramling to Wilson pass for 20
yards, offsetting a 15-yard penalty
against Carolina, kept the Biddie
offense rolling. Wilson threwv a
p)erfe'ct pass to Bennett from the'
Clemson 31 for a touchdown. The
PAT by Cox was wvide and the
Biddies led 6-0.
Carolina kicked off and stopped
the Clemson attack cold. Then the
lIidd(ies started a scoring drive.
Jleffeoat p)icked up 30 yards on his
fir1st run of the game and was
stop)ped at the last moment by the
safety man. Cox picked up 5 and
Gramling tossed a 38-yard pass
to Cox for the second touchdown.
Cox's PAT was good and Carolina
led 13 to 0.
Th( Cub attack began to work
with McCann returning the kickoff
for 13 yards. Paredes passed to
McCann for 37 yards; then
Paredes and Brigman picked up a
great. Hre reminds me of Steve
Van IBuren."
FURMAN IHISHJER, Sports
Editor, Atlanta Constitution: "The
hurricane moved out, and Wadiak
moved( in. We found out over in
Atlanta a few weeks ago the
treachery of Wadiak. Give the
gentleman a slither of daylight,
'and he'll take advantage of you.
Wadiak and Kyle Rote of SMU are
the' most effective backs I've seen
Sh is year."

third Biddie touchdown. Cox made
the point good.
The Biddies stopped a Clemson
drive on the Carolina 40 late in
the second quarter. The Biddies
struck through the air as the half
ended.
In the third period, Bobby
Drawdy returned the kickoff for
82 yards to score for the Biddies
and start a scoring spree for both
teams. After a series of heavy
penalties, Drawdy intercepted a
Cub pass to set up touchdown No.

Gene Wilson scored No. F after
a 49-yard drive from the one-yard

The Biddies appeared to let up

Jimmy Wells and Gene Moxley over

The pitying of the Biddie for

this year or next and the backfield
of Korn, Gramling, Cox, Wilson,

give added wealth to the already

After Big Tli
By MORDECAI PERSKY I
Two Southern Conference dark
horses, each on the rebound from
impressive performances in last i
week's games, clash head-on when
the George Washington Colonials 1
take on a squad of fightin' Birds i
from Columbia tonight.
Fresh from a 14-14 would-be win
over Clemson's previously un
beaten, untied, and unscored-upon
Jungle-eats, the Gamecocks go into
the game as odds-on favorites, but
Coach Rex Enright believes he has
good reason to fear this team that 1
last week held mighty Wake For
est, conqueror of North Carolina,
to a two-touchdown last-quarter
victory after fighting on even
terms for three periods of score
less deadlock. Prior to that con
test the Colonials were undefeated
in conference play. According to 1
reports from the Nation's capital,
whose Griffith Stadium will be the
scene of battle, George Washing
ton is knee-deep in fine ends and
also owns an ace passer in the perI
son of tailback Andy Davis. In
fact, the entire GW backfield has
been highly touted and the Game
cock line has careful instructions
not to take the touting lightly.
A hard-fought Big Thursday has
knocked one of the mainstays out
of the Bird line, but all others who
looked as though they might be a
little the worse for wear on Thurs
day night are expected to be in
playing shape. Big Don E'nrley,
husky tackle from Vandergrift,
Pennsylvania, has been playing a
great deal of football for the uni
versity, and his services will be
sorely missed.
