Gamecock Sports Writer An underdog bunch of Demon Deacons took advantage of every break Saturday night to hand the South Carolina Gamecocks their first defeat of the 1955 football season. The right arm of Deac quarterback Nick Consoles and the costly offensive miscues of the Birds spelled disaster for Coach Enright's favored crew. After Carolina had bounced out to a 6-0 lead with only 1:25 gone in the game, the Wake Forest team roared back to take a commanding 28-6 lead at halftime. Even with sophomore Bobby Bunch's superb quarterbacking, which led to two Carolina TD's in the final quarter, the Gamecocks were unable to close the gap. Two intercepted passes and a safety by the Deacons were enough to wrap up the con test. Mike Caskey, flashy Carolina halfback, and Bunch were the only bright lights for the Game cocks. Caskey scored the first touchdown on a 41-yard sprint over tackle and was the leading ground gainer of the night. Quarterback N i c k Consoles, halfback Bill - Barnes, and end Jack Ladner were sparkplugs in the Baptist attack. The Game cocks saw their highly touted air game come apart at the seams as time and again the alert Deacon defenders snared errant Rooster aerials. South Carolina received the opening kickoff and Brazell re turned to the Gamecocks' 48. After two plays netted seven yards, Cas key delighted the few Carolina rooters on hand by squirming 11 yards for the first touchdown of the evening. Jarrett's kick was wide and Carolina jumped off to a 6-0 lead with 1:25 gone in the first quarter. Bill Barnes of the Deacons elec trified the crowd as he took the ensuing kickoff and romped 65 yards, finally being hauled down by Brazell, the last Gamecock be tween *him and paydirt. A Deacon clipping penalty put the ball on the Wake 48, however, nullifying the play. Consoles then completed the first of many passes to Brew ster for a Deac first down on the Carolina 43. The Birds dug in at that point, however, and on fourth down, Consoles kicked out of bounds on the Carolina 10 yard stripe. The Gamecocks were penalized back to the five. On fourth down, Caskey got a bad pass from center and was smacked down in the end zone for a safety and Wake Forest trailed 2-6 with a little over six minutes gone in the period. Barnes returned the kickoff 30 yards to the SC 46. Three p)lays m pass Intended for halfback Carrol lete. Wake Forest defenders Bill on.

Hillenbrand made 13, and Carpenter hit Hil lenbrand at midfield for another first down. The Deacons were driving again. Barnes and Car penter picked up eight more yards and Barnes raced to the Gamecock 39. Two plays and a substitution later the alert Con soles found Parham alone on the 20 and tossed to him.

Prickett, now in at quarter, went to the airways. He hit Frick for 18 yards and a first down on the first toss. He was not so lucky on his second, however, as Ladner intercepted on the Deacon 30 and it was good night Irene as he sped 70 yards to add insult to injury and putting Wake Forest in a commanding 28-6 lead as the halftime gun sounded. Carolina got a break early in the third quarter when Derrick grabbed Mazman's fumble on the Wake 47. Brazell and Caskey picked up a first down and a Prickett-to-Frick toss connected for another at the Wake Forest seven-yard line. En right's boys were knocking at the gate.

Near the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft plant in East Hart ford, Conn., a full-fledged graduate center was estab lished this fall by Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute. Lo cated 115 miles from R.P.I.'s home campus in upper New York State, the new graduate facilities will enable working engineers from Pratt & Whit ney Aircraft and other com pargjes in the Hartford area to continue their studies. Without interrupting normal employment, it will be pos sible for students to obtain advanced degrees in special ized fields from the nation's oldest. engineering college. Designed to raise the level of knowledge and to broaden the base from which ad vanced research can be ap proached, this entire pro gram will simultancously lead enrolled engineers to greater achievement in their careers.
