PLAYER OF
Woody Preston, a junior from
Pikeville, Ky., is the basketball
player of the week.
Woody was high scorer in both
games the Gamecocks have played
this week. Against Virginia, he
poured in 23 points and against
Maryland he made 16.
Woody is slowly rounding into
top form after a slow start this
season. His shooting eye is im
proving with each game.
His most potent weapon is a
one-handed push shot from any
where on the court. He is best
as an outside shooter relying

Phi Epsilon P1 kept their
record clean as they skimmed by
Pi Kappa Alpha 6 to 0. The
game was not decided until the
closing minutes of play. Larry
Koenig passed to Phil Garfinkel
25 yards for the only score of
the game.
The score was 7 to 6 as Phi
Sigma Kappa was able to make
the extra point and win the game
from Phi Kappa Sigma. Bob
Blakely passed to Tom Carr for
the Phi Sigma Kappa touchdown.
The duet was responsible for the
all-important extra point. Boney
Bovine scored for the losers. Jack
Borne kept the game close with
his defensive play for the losers.
Phi Sigma Kappa was again
victorious while beating ATO to
the tune of 19 to 0. Bob Blakely
threw to John Collins for two of
the touchdowns. Blakely scored the
last six points himself. The game
was close until the passes of
Blakely started clicking.

their opponents from across the

of the touchdowns. He scored one
by a pass and the other by an
interception. Willie Bradham
