Harry is I perhaps the most underrated ball player on the Carolina squad but he sure makes up for all that in ability and know-how; ask Vir ginia's ball club, they will tell you!!!!!! It was Co-Captain Lovell who set up the first Gamecock score when he tore through the Cavalier forward wall to block a punt thus giving the Roosters the ball deep in Virginia territory. A few plays later Fullback Bill Wohrman crashed over the left side of the line (where Lovell is a spearhead on blocking) for the score. It is the dream of every line man to either block a punt or pick up a fumble and run for a touch down but, "I got my biggest kick today out of the running game," were the words spoken by Harry after the game... Teammates Praise He was backed up by one of his teammates who stated, "We were running well over the left side today for three reasons--Mince vich, Lovell, and Silas." Words of praise by a teammate for an out standing leader on the gridiron. Coach Rex Enright pointed out that the outstanding defensive efforts were contributed by Lovell, Mincevich, and Cunningham with Lovell holding up the weaker side of the line and plugging up many holes on defense. Coach En right's advisary for the afternoon, Coach Ned McDonald, backed up the praise by stating that Mince vich and Lovell were two of the best lineman that his team had met throughout the season. Harry is one of the team's co captains and is a Senior this year. He hails from Atlanta, Georgia, where he received all state recognition in 1950 while playing at Smith High. He broke into the Rooster lineup as an offensive guard while only a Preshman. He played the same position in 1952 but was moved to tackle last year with the insti tution of the one platoon system. He is one of the most respected men on the squad. Bir domet er A look at the Gamuecock "stat istic-wise"!

This man is ittle Mike Caskey who wears a nask which has caused some to refer to him as the "Masked darvel" and this he was against lirginia. Before leaving Carolina Stadium ast Saturday afternoon, "Cissey" )icked up 103 yards on the rround, caught a pass which !overed 50 yards, and played an )utstanding defensive game as a ialfback. Top Play of the Game With less than two minutes to go until the end of the game 4uarterback Mackie Prickett spotted Caskey in the clear on the rar sidelines and therefore threw iim a screen pass. Mike took the ball with four men getting set 1o tackaa him, reversed his field after craftily "out foxigg" his would-be tacklers at the point of reception, and ran for 35 yards and a touchdown. The ball >riginated on the 50 and was the most electrifying play of the afternoon. The little left halfback who is the favorite of all his teammates was seen carrying the brunt of the attack to the Cavaliers throughout the entire afternoon with his shifty and powerful run ning ability as well as his hard tackling and "cagey" handling of opposing pass .receivers. Mike is a 5'-11" 177 pounder from Bennettsville, S. C. where he was a standout high school player. ie made All-State in 1950 and played in both the Shrine Bowl and the North-South game that year. for IMMEDIA'I A.B. B.S L. G.

Two Great Passes Two plays brought the entire stadium to its feet with both being pass plays. The first one came in the third quarter when Quarterback Harold Lewis slipped back in his pocket and uncorked one of the prettiest passes In Carolina history which found Tommy Woodlee about 60 yards down the field. Woodlee was tackled on the spot. The second 'pass came late in the fourth frame when the con ference's leading passer, Prickett, shot a short lob pass to Caskey with the latter reversing his field and high stepping it into the end zone with only a minute and fifty seconds left in the game. Silas' conversion was good. Martin Roberts RESTAURANT STEAKS-CHOPS SEAFOODS 1507 Gervas St. Closed on Monday We Have Your Official USC RINGS in Stock 'E DELIVERY ., LL.B. FOUR CO.

Silas' try for the extra point was good. After a see-saw battle through the re mainder of the second period the half ended with Carolina out in front, 7-0.
