The gamecock. (Columbia, S.C.) 1908-2006, October 02, 1953, Page Page Six, Image 6
SPORTOMATIC
The spirit of fans concerning themselves with the foot
ball fortunes of the Carolina Gamecocks was possibly damp
ened after last Monday night's tussle with The Citadel
Bulldogs. The Gamecocks' performance was little less than
disappointing in the opening quarters as they fumbled them
selves out of numerous scoring chances. They ran exceed
ingly well in Gamecock territory, but once the mid-field
marker had been crossed, it appeared that the ball was
utterly dissatisfied with its carrier and merely changed its
possesser.
A fumble was in order for the Gamecocks no sooner than
20 seconds of the first quarter had elapsed when Gene
Wilson ran beautifully on the opening kickoff deep into
Bulldog territory only to find that the ball had mysteriously
vanished from his possession. This was certainly not the
only fumble during the first half .as-was evidenced by the
amount of yardage gained and the resultant score. This
writer is not in the miserable habit of shifting allegiance,
however it does appear that the Gameroosters had a bad
night, and all in all played considerably below their capable
standard performances. This was proved no later than
week before last against a potent 1)uke team now ranked
twelfth in the nation. As a means of reconciliation, let us
say that every team has a bad night at least once every
season, and it is with utnost desire that The Citadel game
was Carolina's.
HALFBACKS STRONG
Shifting from the role of criticism to one of commenda
tion, the Gamecocks as a whole have a well-balanced team.
They are undoubtedly stronger in certain positions than
in others, but generally they are capable of playing better
ball than seen Monday night. The right halfback position
seems to be as solid as the rock of Gibralter. Carl Brazell is
fast being recognized as one of the better backs at the
university since the days of the late Steve Wadiak. Ie has
proven his worth to the team in the first two games of
play, scoring three touchdowns and outgaining every other
back on the team. Incidentally, Brazell is now tied for the
lead in statistics in the newly formed Atlantic Coast Con
ference in two departments, and leads the league in another.
He is tied with Ronnie Waller of Maryland for individual
scoring with 18 points, and is tied with loward Pitt of
Duke in pass receiving with 5 catches for 63 yards. Brazell
leads the conference in yards rushing with 159 yards gained.
The number one substitute for Brazell is a capable half
back, Blackie Kincaid. lie is a powerful, elusive runner and
is worth his weight in gold as a defensive man. These two
men plus the presence of Gene Wilson on the opposite half,
Johnny Gramling at quarter, and Bill Vohrman at fullback
round out a fairly nifty backfield.
GRAMLING IGi IN STATISTICS
Gramling also shares the limelight with Brazell in the
statistics department of the conference. Ile is tops in the
passing department and also in total offense. Gramling has
complete(l 16 passes out of 27 attempts for 223 yards and
his 218 yards total offense surpasses that of any other
player in the conference. The pzasser from Orangeburg
already holds the all-time passinmg record for the university.
In his career for the Gamecocks thus far Gramling has comn
pletedI 98 passes for 1,185 yards.
VIRGINIA-CAROLINA GAME
In the event that past p)erformanices are any criterion,
tomorrow's (lash w ith the Virginia Cavaliers should provide
fans with a multitude of thrills. In the past two years these
two teams have performed about as brilliantly as can be
(expfectedl. Two years ago, Virginia was forcedl to come from
behind to beat a fighting Gamecock eleven, 28-27. Last
year, the Gamecocks traveled to Charlottesville definite
undi(erdlogs, and absolutely turn red t he tables. They were
trailing 14-0 in the last five minutes. Then it happened.
They scoredl three times in less than two minuiltes andl
emergedl wit h a stuniinintg 20-14l victorv.

Birds Travel to
Virginia; 2nd
Game of Week
A Gamecock football squad,
fresh from a none-too-impressive
win from The Citadel Bulldogs
Monday night, look ahead this
week to the second of their major
games this season against the
Virginia Cavalier's in Charlottes
ville Saturday.
The Gamecocks emerged from
The Citadel game in pretty fair
shape physically, and should be in
near top form for the Cavaliers.
However, the postponement of The
Citadel game from Saturday night
to Monday night because of the
hurricane will undoubtedly play an
important part in a Gamecock
victory. They have not gotten in
as many scheduled practices, and
this will make the second game
this week for the Gameroosters.
As everyone well remembers
last year's stunning upset over
Virginia, the Cavaliers will stop
short of nothing to gain sWeet
revenge, so everything points to
a well-matched affair come Satur
(lay afternoon in Charlottesville.
The Gamecocks will enter the
game as slight favorites, but on
the other hand Virginia is well
known for its powerful teams
through the years.

Bulldogs
A Carolina Gamecock foo
slow start against The Citade
Mondey night, finally generate
half to gain their first victor3
The Gamecocks, playing a game
that had to be postponed to Mon
day night because of bad weather,
fumbled their way through the
first half, and were held scoreless
for the first 26 minutes of play.
It wasn't until just before hPl.
.time that the Birds pushed over
for a six-pointer from the one.
Carl Brazell, diminutive half
back that is fast becoming one of
the most publicized backs in the
conference, was the star of the
contest. He scored the lone touch
down before the half from the one,
after having run the ball that far,
and came back in the second half
to produce a beautiful 38-yard
sprint that broke the Bulldogs
backs.
The annual Carolina-Citadel
tussle is always a hotly contested
affair, but fumbles retarded much
of - Monday nights play, and this
was the principal reason that the
Gamecocks were held to a min
imum score. They had numerous
scoring chances in the first half,
but each time lost control of the
ball when nearing the final
marker.
Johnny Gramling, the passing
artist from Orangeburg, completed
7 out of 9 attempted passes dur
ing the game. One to Warren
Clarke, who is also from Orange
burg, for a touchdown. These com
pletions ranked Gramling as the
number one passer in the new
Atlantic Coast Conference. He is
also number one. man in the con
ference in total rushing yardage.
Harold Lewis, junior quarter
back from Aynor, relieved Gram
ling during play in the second
half and gave quite a good ac
count of himself. Incidentally, this
was the first college game in
which Lewis has seen offensive
action. He threw a touchdown
heave to Larry Gosnell in the
final seconds of play after having
run the team all the way from
deep in the Gamecock territory.
The Cadets were never able to
produce a scoring threat through..
out the entire ball game. An alert
Carolina defense caught Citadel
runners numerous times for con
siderable losses and also inter
cepted dangerous passes. The
defensive p)lay of Roger White,
substitute for the injured fullback
Bill Worhman, was especially
noticeable.
In the final analysis, the Game
cocks came out of the Bulldog
game with a minimum of injuries.
In fact, the only first-stringer on
the injuredl list, and a doubtful
starter this Saturday is Bill Wohr
man, who hurt his ankle in the
third quarter Monday night.

promised.

The student council committee
was composed of President Lourie,
Esther LaBruce, Neuland Collier
and Rembert Parler. The com
mittee asked that the system he
altered so that stiudents in] the
dormitories he allowed to place
off the campus calls by first dial
ing the operator who would con
nect the phone to an outside line.
Dr. Patterson said the proposal
was impossible because all the
interior phones are colnlnected to
one giant termilnal anid the plig
for that terminal will niot connect
wit.h the outside line.
The conlitte proposed that. an
extra operator he ahled to the
telephone staff to handle the flow
of calls going ort ie (a1Mus and
that the exchange 1 0 tiled so
that all the phones couild make off
campus calls. Tho committee pro
posed that the explse of such a
system he offset by anl increase
in tie room fee pai by all stu
dents living o)n the caipus.
President Iussell stated that
he was not inl favor. of inclreasing
any student fee anmI said the uInIi
versity would solve tle problem
