Coach Enright began his 12thl
season as football coach and ath
letic director at the University.
Before the season began Coach'
Enright stated, "I don't care if
we win every game or lose every
game we play, I don't want to see
a man on this squad quit for one
minute. When the going gets
rough, and it appears that every
thing-4-40st, then that's the time
to go in there and (o something
about it."
Balka and Gramling were
battling it out for the starting
position against Wofford. Both
boys had battled it out the year
before and Balka had started in
most of the games in 1951. How
ever, this year Gramling came
ack and caught fire, winning
erths on both the All-State and
ll-Southern squads.
The Gamecocks downed Wofford
n the opening football game 33-0.
he Gamecocks showed great
ower in the victory andi made
inning look easy. Drawvdy went
over for the first TD and Gayle
err returned a punt 67 yards for
nother. Browvn scored from 11
aris out. Again, in the second
half, Drawdy hit pay dirt from
the one. The final score came on
beautiful 34-yard run by little
uddy Morrell, the Hartsville flash
ho was not even sure of a
cholarship when he came to Caro
ina. Silas kicked the extra points
for the Birds.
Bill Wohrman, who, in pre
season notices wvas ratedi as one of
jhe potential great players to come
o Carolina, wvas injured in practice
nd did not see action against

The card system, which was to
have been working during half
time at the Wofford game, failed

More than 100 students hopped
chartered train for New York
o be on hand for the Carolina
Army game. The flagwaving and
1heering proved to be of little
value, however, as the Gamecocks
went down to a 28-7 defeat before
rejuvenated Army team. Army,
scoring on the opening kickoff,
seemed to take the spirit out of
the Carolina lads. Carolina's lone
score came on a 27-yard pass play
from Quarterback Johnny Gram
ing to End Clyde Bennett.
The Gamecocks beat Furman.
3ralng's pitchmng arm got a real
working out as he threw for forr
TD's in the first half to lead the
way for a 27-7 victory over the
Purple IIurricane.
Duke bruised Carolina with a
3-7 wvin and( handed the Caro
inians their secondi defeat in four
starts. The Blue Devils, ranked
sixth in the nation at the time
of the game, were too powerful for
anyone from South Carolina to
handle, but the Game-Lads looked
far from bad. Next, preparing for

was in progress, some low-minded
thief broke into the gol' darn
locker room and stole all the
bloomin' money he could get his
cotton pickin' hands on!
While fans argued as to which
team was the underdog in the Big
Thursday classic, the Enrighters
were as right as ever and trounced
the hillbillies from the upland 6-0.
A pass play from Gramling to Wil
son netted the only TD of the
afternoon and the fans from Clem
son didn't like the game.

Bowl, in which the Virginia
Cavaliers were scheduled to lick
the stuffings out of the Game
cocks, awaited the underdog Game
cocks. A while later, however, the
Virginia team was glad to let go
of a team which scored three
touchdowns in as many minutes.
Quarterback Dick Balka of Caro
lina wvas awvarded the trophy for
being the game's outstanding per
formier. Balka, with his brilliant
passing, started the Birds on the
touchdown trail.
Meanwhile, the basketball team

The Carolina boxing team will'
be out to win the first scheduled
match of the year tonight at 8:00
o'clock when the Gamecocks play
host to a powerful Maryland team
in the U.S.C. ,field house. The
Terrapins, who lost by a margin
of 41%2 to 3% to the Gamecocks last
year, are bringing a stronger team
than the Gamecocks conquered last
year.
Coach Alderman's teams have
lost only two matches in the past
two years, but will face a team
which could easily spoil that im
pressive record.
In an exhibition match with Fort
Jackson before the holidays, the
Gamecocks looked up to any
favorable ratings given before the
match. Out of ten matches, the
Gamecocks won nine while one was
a non-decision affair.
Carrying the heavy burden in
the fights tonight will be three
returning lettermen and one fresh
man.
The three veterans of the squad
are Emmett Gurney, 147-pound
SIBT champ last year; Allen
George, 125-pound finalist, and
Chuck Davis, another finalist in
last year's tournament. The fresh
man featuring in the match is
Andy Sciabra, 132-pounder, who
flattened his Fort Jackson foe in
the first round three weeks ago.
Gurney is known primarily as
a slugging, charging type fighter
with a punch in either hand and
especially a lethal left hook. But
he is also a better-than-average
"boxer" and can take punishment
as well as give it. In the Fort
Jackson bout, Gurney showed good
form and won a hard-fought
decision over his opponent. To
night, however, Gurney will be
fighting Bob Theofield who may
prove a formidable threat for
Gurney's SIBT crown. Theofield,
who fought at 139 pounds last
season, lost a very close match
to Carolina's Chuck Davis last
year and looked good when his
team tied Syracuse University in
the Orange llowl last week.
Allen George will battle Gerry
Garbor. George is more a boxer
than a slugger and he possesses
speed and a great deal of en
durance; he usually sets the pace
which his opponent is to follow.
139-pounder Chuck Davis will
face Maryland's Gary Fisher.
Davis, who (lid not fight in the
Fort Jackson fight, is a senior
made it look easy. Halfback Lock
hart McLendon suffered a frac
tured leg andl was lost for the
season.
Homecoming Day was a sad
coming day as the Gamecocks
readied themselves to meet the
underrated, underdog University of
North Carolina team. By now
everyone knows the story of how
a freshmen Tar Heel spoiled the

and will be eligible to box until
graduation in February. A left
jab is the chief weapon used by
Davis and his smooth style is a
rarity.
Newcomer Andy Sciambra is
probably the most talked about
boxer on the squad. Since Gurney's
reputation has been established,
the fans seem to be riding on hopes
of another sensation in the boxing
circles. They may get just that.
Sciambra has speed, confidence,
and a wallop in either hand. Not
only can he hit, but he has also
show;.- up as a very good boxer.
His opponent will be one of the
most dangerous he is to face this
season-Jackie Letzer. Letzer,
who has been rated very high on
the list of Maryland fighters, upset
Eastern Collegiate Champion Art
Nelson and lost a very close
decision to the national champ.
This may be the fight of the night
and could turn out to be one of
the best ever to be staged in the
field house.
Other fighters to see action will
be Malcolm-Dewitt or Don Fortner,
Jack Cassidy or Eddie Fields, and
Haywood Davis.
Carolina will be without the
services of a heavyweight and will
forfeit the heavyweight match.
There is, however, a possibility
that Johnny Stokes will fight at
120 pounds to possibly offset that
forfeit if an opponent can be
presented by Maryland in the 120
pound class.
Tonight's lineup:
125 pounds-Allen George vs.
Gerry Garbor.
132 pounds-Andy Sciambra vs.
Jackie Letzer.
139 pounds-Chuck Davis vs.
Gary Fisher.
147 pounds-Emmett Gurney vs.
Bob Theofield.
156 pounds-Malcolm Dewit or
Don Fortner vs. Dave Lewis.
165 pounds-Jack Cassidy or
Eddie Fields vs. Ronnie Rhodes.
178 pounds-Haywood Davis vs.
Dave Ortel.

mond Academy game. Tarlton, who
played for a while with the Jayvees,
has been moved up to the varsity
team.
