A scoreless third period kept him from an even more impressive total. Hofferth's previous high was an even 20 points recorded in his first varsity game against Newberry back in December of 1951. Paul Goldsmith also hit his sea son's high in the Clemson game as he connected with four outside setv shots for eight points. His best previous total was seven. Good outside shooting by Jackie Hufford and some nice drive-ins by Joe Smith helped out consider ably. Hufford ended up with ten points and Smith had 12. Lee Col lins scored only eight points before fouling out and sub Merv Rabin owitz accounted for the other five. The next night the Gamecocks traveled to Spartanburg and came back with an easy 86-71 triumph that was featured with a free-for all with about three minutes left. The riot lasted several minutes PrestonSc Ekes By For Footl By MIKE Sports : .In perhaps the most excit Carolina in a long time a stro football team annexed the c equally powerful Sigma Nu games and then some by a si The first game was played to Field on January 14. The second contest was played at Olympia High Stadium last Monday night and over the regulation 32 minutes no score was registered. Using the Montana System after an extra period failed to bring a score. Preston penetrated Sigma Nu ter ritory by three yards and thus won the coveted championship. The first game was a touch and-go affair with neither team being able to score due to powerful defensive lines. In the slow drizzle the passing attacks of Sigma Nu's Phil Moody and Preston's Jim Millard wvere .seri ously hampered and both sides resorted to strong defenses and running. Some spectacular dlefen sive play on the part of both teams accounted for numerous goal line stands but neither team was able to muster that added scoring pinch. Monday night's game was played under the lights in good weather on a fast field. Preston kept the ball in Sigma Nu territory through the entire first half with Sigma Nu passing once from scrimmage. Two brilliant goal line stands were made by the fraternity squad, who beat Lambda Chi for the Fraternity Crown last week, hav ing their backs to their own goal, but some sensational punting by Jim Abert p)ut them out of the hole. Trying to move the ball the Preston squad1 did not get too fa/ and Dick Mueller's equally brilliant punting set Sigma Nu back again. The second half was a give and take affair with both teams threa tening many times but key inter ceptions stopping sustained drives by both units. At the end of the regular four quarters another quarter was played with neither team being able to do a thing. Montana Playoff Finally Joe Grugan, dlirector of Intramural Athletics, gatheredi both teams in the middle of the field and explained the use of thc Montana System. The ball would be placed at the mid-fieldi stril and both teams would have five chances to p)enetrate the othern territory, alternating the plays A flip of the coin gave Sigma Ni the first chance.

Smith marked up 17 for Carolina, and Hufford had 16. The two wins gave the Game cocks a record of six wins and nine losses for the first semester. In a Preliminary before the Clemson game, the Biddies were swamped by the Clemson Cubs to the tune of 86-44. Center Buddy Frick was high man for Carolina with 13 points and he also grabbed around 20 rebounds. Joe Frederick, leading scorer for the frosh, just couldn't hit as he made only two points.
