Wohrman 4 Blocking T 2nd Conser For the second year in a r4 been selected as the outstand and thus will be the recipient < The ACC's most underrated b blocker in the conference and strong candidate to repeat for this year. Wohrman gained the award in a poll of 43 balloting members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Writers Association plus five coaches. He received a total of 120 votes as compared to his closest opposition, guard Bob Pellegrini of Maryland, who polled 56 points. Following these two were: fullback Dick Beilski of Maryland with 48, guard Ralph Torrence of Duke with 26, tackle Bob Barthalomew of Wake Forest with 21, and fullback Bryant Aldridge of Duke with 20. A total of 23 playcrs were nominated for the trophy. One of the Nation's Best Wohrman has been hailed by many as the best blocker in the South and one of the top blockers in the nation. His quick cat-like motion and variety of methods of blocking have made him one of the most lethal leaders of inter ference in the nation. Bill Wohrman Besides his blocking Bill has had his best year in rushing, having gained a total of 302 yards for a 4.7 yards per carry average over the past year. His worth on defense is always great with his strong linebacking being one of the big factors in the winning sea son the Birds had this 1954 foot ball campaign. Army Was His Best The opening gane of the sea son was perhaps Wohrman's greatest effort. His laiy against the Cadets from up around West Point may well be something those Army ends will never forget. During the opening phases of the game the Army endls were crasih ing into the Carolina backfield only to be "cut in twvo" by the ACC's best blocker, Wohrman. After awhile these ends began to respect Bill's abilities especially after the option play had been run a few times and Wohrman would knock their feet right out from underneath them with little oir no warning. Bit Tarrer, substitute halfback, stated, "Those As-my ends were really crashing in the first part of the game but after awhile they would just sort of drop back and wvait for the play rather than have Bill eut their legs off." 'That No. 36' Wohrman's f o o t b a I I talent gained him thc job of co-capbBin for the 1954 season along with tackle Harry Lovell. Wohrman served his team well and was the man who was looked to in many instances for leadership and ad vice throughout the season. The abilities w'hich Wohrman has diaplayed jn the realm of blocking have gained much notice from opposing players as well as his own teammates. In post game interviews the name of Wohrman or "that No. 36" will be mentioned and little backs like Carl Brazell, Mike Caskey, and others have found it pretty easy to maneuver w'hen "that No. 36" is on the jersey of the man in front of them as they scamper down the field. cops Jacob rophy For utive Year )w fullback Bill Wohrman has ing blocker in the conference )f the Jacobs Blocking Trophy. all player was chosen the best the State, last year, and is a the honors in the State again Swim Team Begins Work For Opener Coach Jimmie Ratliff has been putting the swimmers and divers through their vaces over the last several weeks in preparation for their opening meet Jan. 7 with North Carolina.

The man who has been selected as the Player of this Week is Mike Caskey who distinguished himself throughout the game against The Citadel on both offense and de fense the entire afternoon. On offense the "Masked Marvel" was seen flashing through the line and around end all day. He was the game's leading ground gainer carrying the ball 11 times and picking up 104 yards for an average of 9.4 yards per carry. This brought his season's total to 556 yards, making him the fourth player in Carolina history to have gained over 500 yards in a single season since the war. Mike brought the crowd to its feet on two occasions when he sped through the line for 32 yards in the third frame and picked 19 yards on another dazzling run late in the game. The first run was the longest of the (lay and saw Caskey almost get away but he could not get by the safety man, and was brought down on The Citadel 32. On defense Mike was a big factor in the Birds' win. He hurt his back early in the game but :howed no signs of injury later in the game w'hen he intercepted a Citadel aerial and ran it back 10 yards to set up a touchdown.

WATCH "CAVALCADE Former USC Great Dies Shortly After Pro Game, Sunday Dave Sparks, ex-guard and cap tain of the 1950 Gamecocks, died last Sunday night a couple of hours after periforming for the Washington Redskins in the na tion's capital. He died of a heart attack in a hotel following a big spaghetti dinner. Sparks was a 6-foot-i-inch, 236 pounder, from Laurin, Ohio, who played defensive guard for the Roosters from 1948-50 and made All-Conference his senior year. He played for the San Francisco 49ers the year after he graduated as a defensive guard and - then was drafted. He played two years in the Army for the powerful Fort Lee, Va., eleven. , After his dis charge the 49ers traded him to the Redskins where he had been performing on both offense and lefense at guard and tackle. He was 26 years old. A Bad Heart A coroner's report showed that his death was not caused from any football activity but was an old ailment which he has had for a long time which was invisible to a doctor during ordinary medical examinations. Sparks complained of some stomach pains last Satur iay but did nothing for them.- The :oroner stated that these pains were probably a mild heart attack and had he gone to a doctor he may possibly have delayed his death for six to seven months. Sparks was a consistent but underrated performer for the Red skins seeing almost 60-minute action in every game. He im pressed his coach, Joe Kuharich, with his strong line play through out the season. Head Coach Rex Enright said that Sparks was one of the school's all-time "outstanding foot ball players." red a B.S. In Chem. Eng. from the Universi le is working for an M.S. degree.
