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.

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.

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.

Six Teams Gain
Play-off Spots
Six teams have entered the
finals of the intramural volley
ball competition with the regular
season finishing this past Mon
day. Four of the teams are from
the fraternity circuit with two
from independent leagues.
The defending campus champs,
Sigma Nu, went through their
league with little or no trouble
winning six straight games. The
Sigma Nu's meet the Pi Kappa
Phi's, the runner-ups in League
Two, in the semi-final round.
Coached by Bobby Coleman the
team has amassed their six
victories on the fine play of Billy
Walters, Newland Collier, Carl
Hardigg, Bill Hawley, Coleman,
Wes Sanders, and Phil Moody.
Over in the other fraternity
league the Sigma Chi's repeated
their last year's performance and
went through their league play
undefeated. Coach Moe McCredie's
boys .will play Phi Kappa Sigma,
the runner-up in League One, in
the semi-final round. The mem
bers of the League One champs
are: Charlie Rosson, Bobby How
ard, Ron Oberle, Gene Mixson,
Bobby Boswell, Jimmy Gox, Joe
Smith and McCredie.
The independents wound up
with the Carovets and McBryde
finishing one-two and thus the
two will play for the right to
play the finalists in fraternity
play for the campus crown some
time next week.
Carolina is the oldest fully
state-controlled and state-sup
ported institution of higher learn
ing in the United States.

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.

Led by Carroll McClain, Bobby
Barrett, Heyward King, and
Buddy Nidiffer the Carolina
Freshman football squad evened
their season's record at 2-2 by
,topping the Georgia Military
College, 12-0, last Saturday night,
in Augusta, Ga., before 3,000
fans.
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.

the Gamecocks have downed
Army, Furman and Clemson.
The Cavaliers have been impres
sive in their last two outings al
though they lost both contests.
They lost a 6-0 game to strong
Virginia Tech and a tough 21-20
decision to powerful Army.
The Gamecocks have been unim
pressive in losing their last two
games. After winning the tradi
tional Clemson game the Birds
dropped a 20-0 contest to Mary
land and a thrilling 21-19 heart
breaker to North Carolina.
Virginia is led by captain Henry
Strempek and fullback Herb Hart
well. Strempek has gained 206
yards rushing this season while
Hartwell has gained 285. Quarter
back Bill Bonney leads Virginia's
passing attack.
Mike Caskey appeared back in
regular form against the Tar Heels
Saturday. With Mike at full
strength and Prickett throwing
strikes it could be a very interest
ing Saturday afternoon.
A damaging blow was struck to
Carolina's chances for a successful
season this week when it was an
nounced that fullback Ed Adams
would probably be out for the sea
son with a knee injury. Ed injured
his knee in the Furman game and
it has not yet responded to treat
