Hofferth passed the 20-point
mark for the first time in his
three years as a Gamecock regular
as he poured in 22 points, 15 in
the first half. 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

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

Collins was top scorer with 24
points; he scored 29 last time
against Wofford. Hofferth came
through with another outstanding
performance as he flipped in 21
points. 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.
Guard Jerry Redman was second
for Carolina with eight.
Stone with nineteen and Brin

It was the third loss against a
single win for the Chicks.
