JONNSON My Walter Jssen The limb broke with me last week. I predicted South Carolina by at least one touchdown. I didn't actually realize I was out on a limb. North Caro lina had won only one game previously, and that to tradi tionally weak North Carolina State by one touchdown. I also stated that the Tar Heels were lacking in the quarterback slot. Buddy Sasser, the pint-sized field general from Conway, S. C., played his best game of the year. Or maybe it was just that he looked good against the Gamecocks. Anyhow, he tied the conference single game scoring record with three touchdowns. The Gamecocks had seven scoring opportunities which they booted away. The Tar Hell . . . er, I mean Tar Heel defense stopped two drives on their own, but the other five were thrown away. Bad pitchouts on the option play resulted in loss of possession on two drives. Two fumbles and one pass interception around the goal line stopped three other scoring opportunities. On the other hand, North Carolina also made mistakes. There was a lot of mistakes on both sides. One Gamecock error resulted in an easy touchdown for the Tar Heels. Bill Tarrer was back to punt and he fumbled the pass from center. North Carolina recovered on the one-foot line and Sasser car ried it over on the next play. There was one series of fumbles that was almost comical, except that eventually it ended in a score for North Carolina. The ball exchanged hands about six or seven times within a minute. Some blame it on the cold weather, but after all the practice they had in the rain, they should have been able to hold on to the ball pretty easily. But such was not the case. If the Gamecocks play the same way against Duke, it will probably result in a slaughter. They have the habit of making one big upset a year. In 1950 they defeated Georgia Tech, 7-0. In '51 it was Clemson. In '52 they knocked Virginia out of the nation's top ten teams, and handed tenth-ma nked Weat Virginia its only defeat in '53. In '54 they defeatid seventh ranked Army, 34-20. The only chance they have this year to uphold this trend is Duke. But I will confidently predict that it won't happen that way. The Blue Devils haven't won in their last three games, having lost to Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh, and getting a tie with Navy. So they will be out for blood. And also they will have Sonny Jurgensen back in the quarterback slot. He has been injured and on?y played a little against Navy. With him in the game they probably would have fared better the last three week ends. * * * * Swimming is not a spectator sport. It is more of a partici pant sport. Most of the people who attend swimming meets go just to watch the diving. There are three men out for the team who are divers. Winter Kimes is the only veteran. He was here a couple of years ago and he looked pretty good. He went into the armed ser.vice and is back this year. However, he may not be eligible until the Spring semester. There are two sophomores out for (living, Jimmy Myers and Bill Wilkins. Coach Jimmy Ratliff said that both of them show promise of develop)ing into good (livers. The team is lacking in depth as usual. There are only 15 men out. This is not enough. Between 20 and 30 are needed for a full team. Swimming gets very little support from the athletic de partment. The guys that are out work hard every day and get nothing for it. Their only reason for being out that I see is that they like to swim. There are a lot of guys around the campus who are good swimmers. The season (loes not begin until December 3. Coach Ratliff would welcome anyone who wants to come out. There are only five freshmen out. No meets have been scheduled for them, but if enough men are out when the sea son begins, meets can be scheduled with Clemson and other teams for them. Anybody interested, go over to the pool any afternoon after four o'clock. Clemson and Maryland dominate the conference statis tically, and they face each other tomorrow at Clemson. The game has been a sellout ever since last Friday, over a week ahead of the game. This is the first time that ever happened at Clemson. Anyhow, something may give in the statistical standings. Clemson leads the conference in team offense with an average of 305.6 yards per game, the only team with over 300 yards. Maryland is second, Duke third and South Carolina is fourth. Clemson also leads in rushing offense and pass defense. South Carolina rates fifth and fourth respectively. Maryland is more outstanding in defense. They are tops in both total defense and rushing defense. South Carolina is fifth and sixth in these departments. But the Gamecocks rate somewhat better in passing of fense. The Gamecocks are second behind Wake Forest in this department. Wake Forest has averaged 123.0 yards per game and Carolina 107.4 through the air. Prickett is sixth in the conference in passing with 25 completions In 53 attempts for 362 yards. Hall is tenth with 18 for 41 and 197 yards. Bunch ranks elevcaith with 10 for 26 and 183 yards. Prickett ranks eleventh in total offense with 421 yards in 99 plays. - Gamec BOTH TRY TO SLAM ...

In the fraternity tournament Sigma Chi and Sigma Nu stood heads above the other contenders as both chalked up identical 9 and 1 records for the regular sea son. Sigma Nu's lone loss coming from Sigma Chi and vice versa. In opening play, Sigma Chi edged Phi Kappa Sigma in two straight games. At the same time Sigma Nu was trouncing Kappa Sigma in straight games. Sigma Nu was then sent to the losers' bracket as Sigma Chi displayed sensational teamwork in- downing the once proud Nus in two straight contests. Joe Smith, Charlie Ros son and Bill Sargent stood out for the winners while Phil Moody was by far the outstanding man for S;igma Nu. By beating Phi Kappa Sigma, Sigma Nu gained another crack at the undefeated Sigma Chi team in the double elimination. tournament with finals being set for the latter part of the week.

ASME will meet the winner of the fra ternity championship today. Intramural golf is also in full swing with Phi Sigma Kappa leading the pack in matches played thus far. Sigma Chi, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Epsilon also have strong teams. The Phi Sigs Tom Mahoney and George Meinert are showing their heels to other golfers as far as individual scores are concerned. They have won out over SAE, Kappa Sigma, and Pi KA. Ma honey has been especially hot so far turning in two scores of 68. He and Meinert have teamed up to beat Kappa Sigma 1 up--20 holes, Pi KA 6 and 5 and SAEJ 3 and 2. These three wins puts them in the finals awaiting the winner of League Two which is being fed by Sigma Chi and SPE with 2-0 and 1-1 records, respec tively.
