Meet The Gamecocks: McClain Is To Razzle-] fBy TOM McLEAN Sports Writer In this day of Warren Giese's power control football, Gamecock halfback Carrol McClain repre sents a throwback to the razzle dazzle days of old. This fleet 6', 172-lb. junior has scored two of Carolina's six touch downs this year. One was via a dazzling 55-yard pass-run against Duke and the other an equally spectacular catch against Wofford. McClain Carrol is a native of Honea Path and earned 16 letters while performing at Honea Path High. He was a forward on the bas ketball team and a dash man in track. In his senior year he was on the South Carolina half-mile relay championship team. Carroll was as equally adept in baseball as he was in football. He GLAMOUR FOR COEDS PERSONALITY OF MEN Portraits By Woodlawn Studio Fine Photography 1134 Bull AL 2-0062 Opposite WIS-TV Tower 0eock #3 Throwback )azzle Days was a short-stop and pitcher in high school. He was good enough to be offered a pro contract when he graduated. "It was mighty hard to turn it down," Carrol said. He still makes use of his base ball talents in the summer with Abney Mills of Belton. In his junior year, Honea Path went undefeated in ten games and was considered by many to have the best backfield in the state. McClain was an all-state half back in his senior year. His biggest thrill came in the last game of his high school career. "I had always wanted to run a kick-off back all the way," he said, "and in the last game of my senior year, I did." Honea Path is only 28 miles from Clemson and is a strong Tigertown. For this reason, Car rol seemed destined for the hills even though he wanted to come to Carolina. The Gamecock coaches didn't do much scouting in that area and none of them contacted him until after he played in the North-South all-star game. His performance in that game con vinced the Gamecock coaches that it would be better to have him on their side of the fence. In his soph year at Carolina, McClain ran behind Carl Brazzel and put in several good perfor mances during the year. Last year he injured his leg and was out for the season. Carrol is an education major and his ambition is to coach. Any time you need to contact him and he is not to be found, a quick check of the local theatres will probably disclose his presence.
