'Among Them
The All-American, All-ACC, and
All-South teams are beginning to
reach the newspapers and sports
fans throughout the nation.
Amo g the many great football
play s honored are some of our
own GamecocUs who have shown
great inividual play through the
entire season.
W Heading thy list of "All's" is
rolina's fi..st "full fledged" All
American and that is guard Frank
Mincevich who was picked, along
with three others, as the best
guards in the nation by Look
Magazine. "The Friendly Bear"
left during the week for New
York where he will join the other
twenty-one Look All-Americans
for a gala week end of television
' and radio appearances and a gen
(ral good time.
*ne of the Best Birds
Of the many footballers. who
matriculate through this institu
tion Mincevich must be ranked
with the greatest and spoken of in
the same breath with the likes of
Bryant Meeks, Steve Wadiak, Earl
Dunham, Norris Mullis, and many
others. "The Bear" came to this
school from a junior college in the
state of Washington and ever
since his ar:ival he has put out
consistent performances of great
ness. His coaches and fellow
players regard him as one of the
greatest as do the San Francisco
49ers who have already drafted
him for the pro football club.
Perhaps "Minnie's" greatest
game was against the mighty
Black Knights of the Hudson
when the Gamecocks beat the
Army eleven, 34-20, earlier in the
season. Frank was opposite a
poten*l All-American in Ralph
Chesnaukas and "Minnie" literally
moved Chesnaukas all over the
field in a performance of sheer
0 strength and brawn. To a great
ball player who has a great spirit
to win goes the distinction of being
Carolina's first first string All
American football player.
Also receiving All-American
attention was center Leon Cun
ningham who has held down the
center position here at Carolina
for the past three years. Leon was
chosen on the third team of -the
NEA All-American club for his
outstanding and consistent play
through the 1954 season.
Conference Choices
As this paper goes to press two
All-ACC teams have been chosen
and USC has received notice in
both. The first was that team
picked by the Charlotte News and
Observer. It honored Mincevich
and fullback Bill Wohrman who is
probably one of the best blockers
in the nation. On their second
team they mentioned halfback Carl
Brazell, quarterback Mackie Pric
kett and Cunningham.
The other All ACC team was
selected by the Associated Press.
Mincevich and Cunningham joined
nineyther conference players on
the first string unit of this team.
Just shading Prickett out at
puarterback was Jerry Barger.
razell and Wohrman also re
ceived second team honors on the
AP eleven.
Mentioned on Collier's All
South eleven was Cunningham
who was one of this same maga
zine's pre-season choices for All
American honors.
AII-Staters
Receiving mention on the All
State Il club were Prickett, at
quarter ack (beating out pre
season All-America candidate,
Don King), Wohrman at full,
Mincevich at guard, Cunningham
at center, and Lovell at tackle.
This team was picked by sports
writers under the direction of
Jake Penland, sports editor of the
State paper.
More "All's" are yet to come
with the prospects of more Game
cocks dotting the national head
lince and the honor rolls of dif
ferent organisation's football
greats for 1954.
Mackie Prickett was chosen the
Player of the Year in South Caro

Mackie Prickett sneaked across
for the touchdown. After that
score it was Carolina moving the
ball, but Wake Forest doing the
scoring.
Deadlocked Affair
The Deacons tied the game in
the third period at 13-all. In the
final period Carolina managed to
hang onto the ball long enough
to allow fullback Bill Wohrman
to dive over center for the touch
down that put the Birds in front.
Jim Jarett then came into the
game and booted the extra point
that proved to be the margin of
victory.
The game was not settled until
the final play of the afternoon.
With time running out Wake
quarterback Nick Consoles pitched
a screen-pass to halfback John
Parham who scampered 35 yards
before Mike Caskey pulled him
down. Then with Wake Forest
easily within scoring distance
Consoles faded back to pass, and
was smothered with the ball as
time ran out.
The Carolina line played one of
its best games of the season, and
Bill Wohrman proved to be a run
