The former Canadian pro coach rushed into Coach Jim Tatum's office with the solution to the problem and diagrammed it. It worked fine on the blackboard, especially at stopping the Vols' bread-and butter option from the single wing. It stopped all their plays! But alas, the $64,000 solution burst like a soap bubble when some body noticed that Hennemier's Canadian training had encroached on his current job and he had devised a dlefense wvith 12 men instead of 11. '~ Incidentally, Tenflessee won, 20-0. TERPS' SOCCER TEAM SETS ACC RIECORD) . . Maryland's football team may be down this season but their friends on the school's soccer team are apparently heading for another un defeated year. The Terp booters set a new Atlantic Coast Conference scoring record in beating N. C. State, 12-0, recently. According to the Maryland coach, Doyle Royal, scoring 12 points in a soccer match is comp)arable to around 100 in a football game. Maryland, undefeated in nine years of Southern Conference and ACC play, have a 4-0 record thus far this season. FOOD FOR THOUGHT: North'Carolina's Jim Tatum~ is on his way to another bowl this year. He's been picked as one of the head coaches for the Gray team in the annual Blue-Gray All-Star game December 29 in Montgomery, Ala. . . . Dick Scarbath, brother of Jack Scarbath, is the first unit quarterback on the Maryland freshman football team. The Terps hope that he follows in his brother's foot steps. Jack was All-America at Maryland In 19. . .. Halfbacks Ed Sutton and Larry McMullen are the only seniors on North Carolina's Host ( Carolina Beat; Looks For Six South Carolina's Gamecocks tc meet N.

D Both teams could use victories. tl South Carolina, still clinging to a P thread of hope for the Atlantic Coast Conference championship, tc must win to stay in contention. J1 N. C. State, having lost five of A their seven games, needs a tc triumph to prove that the team is hi better than the record shows. t( Gamecocks Slip By Furman Last week, the Gamecocks had a rough time in slipping by the Purple Hurricane from Furman 13-6. Long runs by sophomore S halfback Alex Hawkins and junior fullback Bobby Barrett resulted tI in the two scores for Carolina. rc On the first play of the game, Hawkins took a hand-off from S Mackie Prickett and slanted off 2 tackle for 66 yards and a score. a The clock on the scoreboard showed only 20 seconds having t< been consumed. 7 Barrett scored his touchdown on a 47-yard jaunt after intercepting a pitchout by Furman quarter back, Bill Baker. Jack Hall con verted and the score stood 13-0 in the first quarter. Furman scored its lone touch down on a 12-yard slant by Jackie Powers after Furman had con- b trolled the ball for nine and one- C half minutes in the second R quarter. a Deacons Beat Stat, N. C. State, on the othe' . i lost to a strong Wake Forest tv.u: 14-0. All-Amer-can candidate 1i:l Barnes of the Demon Deacons paved the way for the victory with his hard charging rushes. Coach Earle Edwards' squad, w although losing five of seven games is still considered to be c one of the stronger teams in the conference. Assistant Coach Ralph Floyd says he "can't figure" how State's opponents have kept such runners as Dick Christy and Dick fi Hunter from making touchdowns. "Christy is positively one of the South's finest runners," says Floyd. "The fact that he hasn't tI scored this year is one of the _ season's greatest oddities." Wolfpack Line Stout The Wolfpack line will be manned by a host of experienced stalwarts except a guard where inexperience has handicapped the State team. John Collar, an All-Conference end, is leading the attack of the N. C. State squad from the for ward position. Last year Collar broke a school record as he caught 14 passes goodi for five touch diowns. A tough 205-pounder, he Scores High In Display Of Offense Intramural football activity at Carolina continued to flourish this: wveek as Sigma Nu remained un baeinleague play. Offensive powe'r appearedi to have more con trol of the games reported as scores were generally higher than in past weeks. Sigma Nu, continuing to domi nate fraternity play, heat Sigma Chi 19-0 as speedsters Preston Whaley and Jim Emory pavedi the way for victory, while Richardson and Guerry kept the Sigma Chi offensive thrusts to a minimum. Bob McNair and Dickie Howard were the outstanding players for Sigma Chi. In other games played, Lambda (Chi won' its secondi game of the: season by heating i Kappa Phi, 12-0. The line charging Howard Gunter and the running of Richard Bell and Jinm Buitler proved to be the deciding factor in this battle. Sam Rigsb)y, Roger Bennett anti Trhornwell led the offensive attack of P'i Kappa Phi. PiKA dlowned Kappa Sigma, 19-0, on the passing of Parker Evatt and Larry Patrick. Leon Norton and Ne(i Pugh were the other offensive standouts for the PiKAs, wvhile Sam Stillwell led the defensive unit. KA beat SPE, 19-6, as George Thomas and Fletcher Carter sparked the KA's to victory. Bruce Willey was a menace to KA backs throughout the game for SPFE and the running of Freddie Spruell accountod for the offensive push of the losers.
