Hall May Push Prickett At Field General Post In'55 With most everyone looking to "next year" I thought it would be 4 good idea to devote some space to one of Carolina's hopefuls for next football season. The hopeful is Jack Hall, transfer quarterback from Georgia Tech. llack, who has two years of eligibility left, is 21 years old, stands 5 feet, eleven and one-half inches high, and weighs 184 pounds. He hails from Augusta, Georgia where he played his prep school football at Richmond Acad emy. Jack is married to the former Miss Betty Bennett of Augusta, and they have a 16-month-old daughter, Debbie. He lives at Virginia Courts in West Columbia. "I like Carolina, and I like to play football," Jack said. "One of the reasons I came to Carolina was that at Tech I didn't get a chance to play very niuch; I was one of 11 quarterbacks out for the team," he continued. W ile playing prep ball at Riz ond Academy Jack was named to the All-State and All Regional football teams. He re ceived honorable mention on the All-America team. Jack Hall J 'k's best weapon in the back fiel is deception. He has a style somewhat like that of the master faker, Vitto "Babe" Parelli, great Kentucky quarterback of some seasons ago. His freshman back field coach at Georgia Tech was Bo Hagen, Carolina quarterback great. Jack says he gets a big kick out of "handing the ball off in the backfield and watch the opposing team tackle the wrong man." Jack gets one of the players to stay after regular practice almost every day and practices passing and punting. He is developing his passing and punting. He says, "I figure the more things I can do well the better my chances will be to play regularly next season." Not only is he a triple-threat back, but also a track man. He's a pole vaulter and throws javelin. Jack has an eye on the future. He's majoring in physical educa tion. "Someday I want to own my own boys' camp in the moun tains," he said. It 'might be a good idea to remember the name Hall because next season Jack hopes to be lugging that football for Carolina, and we'll be pulling for him to make it.

PLA *ERS 01 Carl Brazell Another repeat performer has been selected to grace this column as the Back of the Week and that is the "Little Man," Carl Brazell. Brazell earned the honor earlier in the season but his fine all round play in last week's North Carolina game merits even more praise for this workhorse of the Gamecock backfield. On the opening scoring drive which put the Birds in front so quickly the "Little Man" caught a key pass and carried the ball for sizeable gains which enabled Mackie Prickett to score the first touchdown. A look at the game's statistics confirms all praise which has been heaped on the 156-pound frame of this "Little Man." He carried the ball seven times for 41 yards giving him an average of 5.8 yards per carry. In the pass receiving department Carl lead all camers with three catches for 31 yards. He also punted the Roosters out of many holes with a 37-yard average per boot. A much overlooked aspect of Brazell's game is his outstanding defensive play. Little Carl has proven that size means nothing in defending against the taller pass receivers that most teams send downfield to pull in the aerial efforts of their backfield. Brazell has been seen on many occasions pulling himself up over the heads of the taller pass re ceivers and coming down with the ball or making sure the pass Is incomplete. His outstanding de fensive play has helped to rate his team second in the conference in pass defense. Columbia Product Brazell is a Columbia boy who played his high school football, basketball, and baseball, out at Dreher. His senior year found him making All State off of the top high school team in the state which he captained. Brazell almost did not come to Carolina as he almost missed get ting a scholarship as he was termedl "too small" for college football, an adage he has amply disproven. Thirteen national social frater nities have active chapters at Carolina. They are: Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Alpha, Kappa Sigma, Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Epsilon Pi, Phi Kappa Sigma, Phi Sigma Kappa, Pi Kappa Alpha, Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Ep silon, Sigma Chi, Sigma Nu, Sigma Phi Epsilon. Freshmen basketball practice begins Monday night at 7:30. All interested Freshmen are asked to report to the field field house and bring their own shoes.

BALI FRED WILKINS, 1340 Senate Street THE WEEK Frank Mincevich This week's Lineman of the Week is the 240-pound "block buster" who occupies the left guard position in the strong Gamecock line, Frank Mincevich, Mincevich has been chosen as the Lineman of the Week for his fine overall play in the North Carolina game as well as his outstanding play throughout the entire season, Mincevich was chosen as the fifth draft choice by the San Francisco Forty-Niners, in last year's pro drafting of collegiate ball players, with Forty-Niner Coach Buck Shaw stating, "Our scouts in the East said that Mince vich is the best lineman in that section, that's why we drafted him. That's proof of what we think of him." Further proof of "The Friendly Bear's" great play is the fact that he has been chosen the Num ber One candidate for All American honors from the Atlantic Coast Conference overshadowing all of the other great players which make up this fine Southern football conference. Frank's line coach, Hank Bartos, says, "Mincevich is the best lineman I've worked with in 16 years of coaching. - He is one of the fastest big men in the country and has everything a good lineman needs." Frank backed up all this fine praise in the North Carolina game with some fine blocking and some near sensational defensive play which found him where the Tar Heels did not wish him to be on many, many occasions.

LUCKIES TASTE B Tar Heels Victorious By 21-19 An 11-yird pass from Quarter back Len Bullock to Norman Lane gave the North Carolina Tar Heels a story book- win over Caro lina's Gamecocks last Saturday. The Gamecocks started fast. They took the opening kickoff and marched 81 yards for the first touchdown mainly on Mackie Prickett's passing. Prickett pitched 40 yards to End Joe Silas and 17 yards to Halfback Carl Brazell on the march to the initial touch down. With about four minutes re maining in the game North Caro lina had the ball on the Gamecock 17-yard line and were leading 14 13. Len Bullock tried a pitchoul to one of his halfbacks, but the ball was slightly deflected by Bill Wohrman. The ball deflected intc the hands of End Buddy Frick who amid all his surprise raced 79 yards to put the Birds ahead 19-14. Frick's touchdown looked like the clincher but not quite. North Carolina took the kickoff with about three minutes remaining and promptly moved the ball into Gamecock territory. Bullock threw from his 11-yard line into the outstretched, straining hands of Norman Lane in the end zone to insure the Tar Heels of victory. Carolina was founded by act of the state legislature on December 19, 1801, and the doors opened on January 10, 1805. ARE 'YOU INSAN FOSDICK? -THIS k A REAL,kfESPMCTAAL CLA.! OSE DANDRUFF ?

The mighty Biddie line told the difference with both teams being held scoreless until the third quarter when the Biddies drove 70-yards for a touchdown. Bar rett's powerful 33-yard run set up the scoring play with McClain going over from the one. Harry McDevitt's conversion attempt was blocked. The Biddies put the game on ice in the final frame on a 53 yard drive with King scampering over from the five with Mc Devitt's conversion attempt no good. Nidiffer, playing from his de fensive end slot, stopped a number of the Cadets' offensive drives with some spectacular intercep tions and tackles which forced GMC to lose the ball on downs.
