Notes
Senior Dave Neilson was at the
pivot position among Carolina's
start ing five in last Thursday's
Citadel game-while Lee Collins,
veteran center and last year's
leading scorer, rode the bench.
Coach Frank Johnson said it was
the result of Neilson's much-im
proved showing during pre-season
practice sessions. Collins got in
The Citadel game after nine min
utes had passed, and after a slow
start accounted for 14 points and
as many rebounds. Collins played
the entire game against Wofford,
until fouling out in the final two
minutes; scored 18 points and
brought 25 rebounds dowvn off the
bmack boards. .. ..The crowd( got
whbat it had hoped for: Grady
Wallace, national junior college
scoring champ andl( a Pikeville
t ransfer, pourted 312 points through
the nets against T1he Citadel and
grabbed off 20 rebounds as well;
came b)ack Saturday night with 28
points and a fine game against
Wof ford. . . . After twvo games,
scoring averages go like this:
Wallace, 30.0; Collins, 16.0; Fan
nin, 13.0; McCoy, 6.5; andi Smej
kal, 6.0. Wallace's field goal per
eentage is 51.1, and that of the
team is 37.1. Collins has 39 re
bounds in twvo games for a 19.5
average. . . . Said Coach Frank
.Johnson to a daily columnist of
Grady Wallace: "lie's the best
~er we have had aroundi here In
ngtime, and shooting is not
a ecan (10. HIe's a good re
bounder andl a goodi defensive man.
...How wvould I compare him
with Furman's Darrel Floyd ?
Well, I think he does more than
Floyd. I wvouldn't want to say he
is a better shot than Floyd-not
after one game. I would prefer
not to compare their shooting
right now, but Wallace can do
more things. He has a very good
attitude, he's a hard wvorker, a
00(d boy." End quote. . . . Game

thinks that his teammate and
friend Bob McCoy might have been
a little ne'rvous in the season's
first games, that his shooting ac
curacy on those nights dildn't tell
the real story. Basketball fans got
a taste of his hall-hawking
prowess. .. ..Last week's non

Intramural
Long Play
- By SID BADGER t
Assistant Sports Editor t
Sigma Alpha Epsilon began
their defense of the intramural
football crown with a smashing i
16 to 0 win over Sigma Phi Ep
silon as Charlie Jacocks and Larry
Ford teamed up on two sensa
tional pass plays to pace the scor
ing attack. Jacocks threw 30 and
20 yards for touchdowns and also
fired two pin point .passes for the
point after touchdowns. Banks
a
and Dubose were outstanding on P
defense with Dubose contributing
a safety to the SAE scoring.
Sigma Chi Wins
Sigma Chi let it be known that
they are to be reckoned with this
season as they rolled up two im
pressive wins thus far, a 32-to-0
victory over Kappa Sigma and a
lop-sided 10 to 0 win over Phi
Epsilon Pi. Bobby Gunnels, flashy
halfback of the winners, scored
four times in the two games.
Charlie Rosson rifled passes of
r five and 50 yards to Gunnels and
passed again to Murphey Lem
mon in a play covering 60 yards t
and a touchdown, all in the game
with Phi Epsilon Pi. In the win
over Kappa Sigma, Gunnel9 re
turned two punts for scores, one
covering 78 yards and the other
45. Bob McNair passed to Sterne
Bolt for another score with Koty f
returning another punt 40 yards e
to end the scoring. u
Sigma Nu-Lambda Chi
Sigma Nu, one of the pre-season d
favorites, found the going rough e
against a hard-charging Lambda t
Chi forward wall, but managed to a
squeak by the Lambdas 13 to 8. f
Legrand Guerry snared two scor
ing passes, the first coming from o
the elusive Preston Whaley, good
for 30 yards, and the Onal coming f
from towering Phil Moody from 1)
five yards out. Chuck Hughes a
intercepted a Nu pass and gal- h
loped 30 yards for the lone score I
for the losers. Big George Bomar n
and newcomer Howard Gunter r
spearheaded a stout defense for f
Lambda Chi with Gunter bursting "
through on one occasion to add a P
safety to his team's scoring. Lamb. h
da Chi had the misfortune of hav- t
ing two touchdowns called back 0
during the game which was to
eventually spell defeat.
In a defensive struggle, Sigma
Phi Epsilon finally won out over a
scrappy Phi Kappa Sigma outfit
6 to 0. The ball changed hands
numerous times before an alert
Roger Krick intercepted a Phi Kap
lateral and pranced 27 yards for
the lone score.
Pi K A Splits Two
Pi Kappa Alpha split two games

Punting for distance; punting
for accuracy; goal kicking; pass
ing for distance; passing for
accuracy; kickoff for distance;
others may he added before the
meet.
Rloyall stated that an event
such as this was last held at the
University in 1947 and proved to
be quite a success. lHe hopes to
make this an annual affair. He
also expresses a desire to see
more independent men take part
in this event as this is not a
fraternity function alone and
there will he no points toward
the fraternity all-sports award.
