Garneco Cavaliei Sek Third ACC Victory South Carolina's "rebuilding" Gamecocks will invade Richmond, Va., tomorrow for an Atlantic Coast Conference encounter with the Virginia Cavaliers in the an nual Tobacco Bowl at 2 p.m. The Gameroosters will be seeking their fourth victory in five starts and their third league win. The Virginia eleven is (2-1) overall and (1-1) in ACC play. Giese, Gamecocks Surprise Thus far this season, Head Coach Warren Giese has seem ingly forgotten that he is sup posed to spend the season reno vating an also-ran team rather than molding it into a strong ACC contender and rolling over two of the pre-season conference favor ites, Duke and North Carolina. The Gamecocks, fresh from a 14-0 triumph over "Sunny" Jim Tatum and his UNC Tar Heels, are favored to continue their mas tery over teams from the tobacco states in tomorrow's contest. How ever, the Virginia eleven, the pre-season choice for the ACC cel lar, is vastly improved over their 1955 predecessors and by virtue of their 7-6 win over Wake For est, has shown signs of upsetting the ACC apple (or should we say orange) cart. Virginia Strong Like the Gamecocks, the Cava liers have a new coach this year. Under Ben Martin's guidance+ the Virginians have taken advantage of the underdog role and this, plus J 20 returning lettermen and a good crop of sophomores has been util ized in making a strong indica tion that Virginia could very well be a trouble-maker in the ACC this season. The locals will be practically in full force as they seek to add their third victory to an unmarred cou- f ference slate. The sensational halfback combination of sopho mores Alex Hawkins and King Dixon, along with Fullback Don c Johnson will be counted upon to carry the brunt of USC's offen sive load with Quarterback Mackie Prickett, top field general in the conference, engineering the at tack. Only two players, fullback 1 Bobby Barrett t.nd guard Bill Floyd will sit out the game. Reserve backs such as Jack Hall, quarterback; Frank Distino, John Dorsett, Heyward King and Roddy Robbins; and fullbacks Dan South and Charlie Jackson will be on hand, ready and capable of taking over wvhere the starting backfield may have left off. USC Line Play Great Coach Giese and his staff will also count on more of the same fine Jine play that hass been the biggest factor in the team's suc cess thus far. It may be remem bered that' the forward wall of the Garnet and Black team has had at least one successful goal-line stand ,in each of the four games, and the outcome of tomorrow's game may well depend on another stellar performance by such men! as Buddy Frick, Julius Derrick, Eddie Beall and Weems Baskin, Jr., at ends; Tommy Addison, Tony Byers, Sam DeLuca and John Kompara at tackles; Rick Ericc-' son, Nelson Weston, Corky Gaines and Jimmy Merck at guards; andi Lawton Rogers, Tony Gialenois and Charlie Johnson at center. Bakhtlar Back The Cavaliers are led by their outstandling junior fullback, Jim Biakhtiar; tackles Henry Jordan and Ron Melnik; guard Harold Outten; and sophomore quarter back Reece Whitley. Bakhtiar, who gained 733 yards as a sopho more last season and had the best point-after-touchdown record in the ACC, is considered one of the best all-round backs in the South. - Many observers class him with Miami's Don Bosseler, which is saying a mouthful. In the only comparable gamet this year, Virginia lost to Duke, 40-7, while the locals upset the Blue Devils the week before, 7-0- t In their curtain-raiser, the Vir ginians downed Virginia Military, -18-0.

The Gamecocks could not get t olling in the first half and North ;arolina was playing all over the 'ield. During that first half the arheels garnered 13 first downs t nd made reveral attempts at racking the USC defense.

Students Want Intramural Football By attempting to "kill" intra mural football, the administration is cutting off intra-collegiate's most colorful and spirited compe tition which has been reaching more and more students each year. This action has been brought on by the recent injury wtiich oc curred during one of the frater nity football games. It was an unfortunate accident and I might add, a serious one, but it could have happened any where and at anytime. I have seen students stumble over the sprink lers found around our campus. This could have been serious. Stu dents could possibly break every bone in their body if they acci dentally fell down the many, many stairs in our dorms or classrooms. Green street has always been one of the most dangerous spots in the city of Columbia. Students could be the victim of the traffic problem there. As far as intramural football being responsible for this unfortu nate accident it could well have happened during a basketball game, or softball game, or any other intramural sport. If foot ball is abolished, it seems as if all t intramural sports should be done away with. Even though this per (Continued on page 8) t CAROLINA Get Your Game, Al DICK AN ESSO SERVIH Assembly !
