Gamecock quintets over a twelve year period have won 144 and lost 132 games under Johnson's direc tion. He envisages an improved team and a stronger bench for the 1955-56 season, but "time will tell," he adds. "We'll be bucking a strong Atlantic Coi.st Conference that boasts teams from Duke, Wake Forest, and N. C. State, always among the high-rankers in the na tion." The Gamecocks have three weeks of regular workouts behind them, with two weeks remaining until the season opener. "The boys are in excellent spirits, and are out there showing hustle," Johnson notes. "We've b e e n concentrating o:i funda mentals now. We'll be working on . plays and some scrimmage." First home game is on December 1st, with The Citadel.

Alert ball handling and a power ful line proved the telling factors in the rugged Blue Devils' second straight conference victory. Full back Bryant Aldridge and quarter back Sonny .Jurgensen were the sparks in a "rock 'em, sock 'em" Duke offense which more than doubled Carolina's rushing yard age. The big Devil line held the Gamecocks completely in check throughout the contest, keeping the charges of Rex Enright outside of the Blue Devil twenty until the fourth quarter when the Birds scored their I o n e six-pointer against Duke reserves. but has averaged 4.0 yards in those few attempts. Harry Crowley, a 200-pound cen ter from Fort Pierce, Fla., and Aubrey Reed, 210, another center from Orangeburg, round out the last-year men.
