SPORTS ANDERS BY SANDERS The Gamecocks won the "big" ball game in the big state of Texas and it was, indeed, a team triumph. And, there were three ele ments most evident in the great intersectional game. The team's desire to win, team spirit "t and the physical conditioning of the squad were predominant. Bobby Bunch, the quarterback from Summerville who played, perhaps, his finest game for the Birds, said after the game, "this was a team victory. Each position performed well at the same time, not just one particular . man at a particular time. We finally came into our own as an 11-man team." A%ddiston Things looked good for the Gamecocks after the first 15 seconds when Dixon ran 98 yards for the touch down with superb blocking from the entire team. The spirit was so great, Tommy Addison was speeding ahead of Dixon for a time. Hawkins also played a sensational game with his two touchdowns, three extra points and passing for a third six points to running maite Dixon. Naturally, jubilation was pre(lominant after the game in the dressing room and rightly so, for the Gamecocks had stunned the Texas Longhorns in the final quarter. Texas learned that Carolina is a ball club that turns on the steam in the fourth quarter. Final score, South Carolina 27, Texas 21. TEXAS TII)ITS The Texas game was Coach Warren Giese's -13th game, and it proved to be very lucky Hawkins an upset. victory. . . The Gamecocks were seated on the Longhorn cheering section side of the fiel,d and the cheering was great. . . . Only wish Caro Iina students could yell that loud. . . . During the fourth quarter, the Texas band was playing "The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You" and the Gamecocks fought that much harder --the Texas eyes sure saw a fine South Carolina team. . . Darrell Royal had fine players in the person of Walt Fondiren, fullback Mike Dowdle, Rene Ramirez and actually the entire Longhorn team. King Dixon's 98-yard run on the opening kickoff was the first of such against a Texas team in 21 years.

ARROW~ (21SU/AL WEA R first in fashion FU Back' Debated Carolina Jimmy Grant, who had a long debate with himself three years ago about whether to attend the University of South Carolina or Furman, will be one of Furman's offensive threats Saturday when the two teams meet here. The senior Hurricane fullback announced via solid rushing plays last week against George Wash ington that he is again very much in the Furman offensive pic ture after losing his starting berth to sophomore Hicky Hor ton. (irant, a Rock Hill High star in 1953, led a ground assault that ended in Furman's second and winning touchdown. He gained 27 yards for the night in five tries, but 20 of it came in Furman's all out bid for that second touchdown oVer the Colonials. A co-captain of the Hurricane, (rant was too slow rounding into condition in the observation of the Furman coaching staff this season. ThIat coupled with the sparkling play of Ilorton sent Grant to the alternate unit. Whether he will start against South Carolina Saturday is not certain, but Coach Homer Hobbs interjected that regardless, Grant will probably see much more serv ice than in the second and third games of the season. The 210-pound Hurricane back had rushed for only 28 yards in eight, carries prior to Saturday night, and his total is now only .15 yards, but the authority with which he drove against the clonials Saturday was reminis cent of last season, 'hen he con piled 3t; yards, mostly on short butrst, for a ;.(i average.
