17 r SC Spri yy i'Viese Satj s Misgui University of Soi4th Carolina ead Football Coach Warren Giese jays that the signing of Wood raff's All-America high school tilback, Bobby Ivey, to a- USC scholarship has focusedL attenton on what he considers a goeral aisconception toward the Atlaitic Coast Conference's newly adapted ogrant" system. Ivey, who had earlier signed grants-in-aid to Tennessee then Clemson, announced Sunday that he had signed with South Carolina as his "final and definite" decl sion. Tennessee, of course, is in the Southeastern Conference and not bound by A.C.C. regulations, but Clemson and South Carolina, bit ter rivals on .the football field, are in the same league and very much in competition with each other In recruiting activities. "We have a veiy mild 'grant' system in the Atlantic Coast Con ference," explains Giese. "In the first place a boy is not bound by a grant-in-aid he signs until July 1 under conference rules. Even after that he may reli6ve himself of a premature commitment to one A.C.C. school and attend an other by writing a letter to the conference commissioner and stat ing his intent and reasons.

"We feel that making a boy's signature on a grant-in-aid to one school binding at an early date, such as January 1, is not fair to the boy," Giese pointed out. It encourages coaches to high pressure the boy into a quick decision. "We believe that he should have time to visit and study the ad vantages and disadvantages of every school he has an opportun ity to attend, then sit down and make up his own mind. He hardly has time to do that during a busy fall football schedule, nor do the college coaches have time to de vote proper attention to present ing their situation. "I think rather than allowing a coach or alumnus of some school to sit down and in a few minutes high-pressure him into signing something, he should study all of the situations and make up his own mind," added Giese. "We don't like a racehorse re cruiting program, because it en courages high pressure.

Facing what is probably the toughest schedule in the school's history, the Gamecocks will work out four afternoons a week until the end of March. The fact that only nine of the top 33 men on the 1957 squad will be lost by graduation doesn't mean that Coach Warren Giese won't have his share of problems to encounter in spring practice sessions. "One of our big problems will be finding replacements for our two starting guards," points out Giese. He refers to Tommy Addi son and Nelson Weston as the de parting brethren. "And then there's the problem of depth at halfback, along with developing a good set of ends," Giese adds. Carolina loses its second-unit halfbacks, Heyward King and Frank Destino, and last season the end situation wasn't as settled as Giese desired. Returning are Eddie Beall, Weems Baskin and Jimmy Dun can, all of whom were starters at one time or another last fall. Julius Derrick, another starter, is a graduation loss. On the brighter side is the return of such regulars as half backs Alex Hawkins and King Dixon, quarterbacks Bob Bunch and Stan Spears, tackles Don Rogers and John Kompara, cen ters Lawton Rogers and Dwight Keith, along with Jack Ashton, a blossoming lineman who played guard and tackle last fall. Other leading returnees include tackles Alex Lazzarino, Ed Pitts and Bill Jerry, guards Jimmy Merck and Corky Gaines, quarter back W. L. Strickland and full backs John Saunders and Phil Lavoie. Added to those and other var sity squad holdovers will be the 1957 freshmen, who lost a claim to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship by losing out to Duke in the final two minutes at Durham, N. C. Other new faces will be end Jack Pitt, an ex-serviceman from Holly Hill, Fla., who was a stand out at Fort Jackson; Ken Norton, a halfback from Salem, Va., who "red-shirted" last fall; Steve Kopian, another "red shirt" half back from Glen Head, N. Y.; and Dick Bennett, a quarterback who transferred here when Stetson dropped football and is impressive on defense. The Gamecocks will work out on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays and climax the off season drills with the "spring game" on March 29. ANERS, Inc.

Virgnia Pr( Of Gameco< Down here in the state of South Carolina they're starting a brand new chapter of the "F.F.V." That's "Football Families of Vir ginia." The Gamecocks, under their young head coach, Warren Giese, have found that boys from the "Old Dominion" state wear their spurs well, And many of them figure prominently in his plans to further this school's gridiron reputation. When Giese sounds the whistle for "spring" practice to begin on Feb. 22 there will be nine Vir ginians with excellent varsity chances answering roll call. They include tackle Jack Ashton of Hopewell, fullback John Saun ders of Churchland, tackle Kirk Phares from Norfolk, and halfback Jimmy Williams of Portsmouth, all returning from the 1957 var sity, plus rising sophomores Bob Saunders, a halfback from Manas sas, end Conley Taylor from Rich mond, quarterback Harvey Shif lett and guard Jack Jennings from Norfolk and -halfbaek Ken Norton of Salem. Giese hopes that several other fine prospects from Virginia will be enrolling for next fall's fresh man class. The Virginia ties in the USC program go deeper than the players. Assistant coaches Marvin Bass and Ralph Floyd both played college football in that state for William and Mary, where they were outstanding linemen. Bass, a native of Petersburg, was head coach at W. and M. in 1951, when he was named "Big Six" coach of the year, and Floyd was his line coach there. Says Giese, "I think Virginia has a wonderful high school foot ball program and produces an exceptional number of good col lege prospects. We have also been impressed with the fine character of the boys with whom we have come in contact in that state."

When we reached the area, we found that the fields were splotched with water and mudholes. We didn't hitch the mule to the buggy for the elevated bird hunt that I had envisioned; instead we walked every dern mile, about twenty. There were four dogs: two poin ters, a setter (which we had bor rowed) and a Briton, a spaniel for working close and retrieving duty. Unleashed, the setter, Pat, and a pointer, Tim, covered the base of a pine ridge and froze after only two minutes. My two pard ners and I advanced to the spot when Tim scared up three birds. He did get a licking for that blunder. Spreading slightly, we walked up about a dozen quail and blasted away simultaneously. I know that I "cut a feather." This term means that one or more feathers were shot loose. Some times the whole bird appears to blow up like a thrown feather pil low that connected. Anyhow, several birds fell and Kim re trieved efficiently. This went on all afternoon and forty swamps or thickets later, we ran a partridge into woods terminating in a morass with dense growth. How can a guy make a shot count at a coppery blur flitting through trees? I didn't. After she, the big pointer, had flushed the quail, I succeeded in peppering the trees and air. End of hunt. "MY KINGDOM F'OR A .. .1" When Richard III uttered his immortal phrase, he was in error, What he should have said wasn "my kingdom for a gun."

Even with out a scope, it has been true with Long or Long Rifle ammunition. ANOTHER HU.NT Sunday, I torc myself away from my spiritual dluties to poke about in the woods, to while away the day. My buddy and I slipped down a deserted road on a tract far away from the humdrum world. With a good ear, one can hear the ocean roaring when a nor'easter is ripping across the low country. There was no wind blowing that (day, but the air was frigid-just a "tad." We stole up to a likely water hole and searched the adjoining hill for signs. No scratchings were noted so we started across more dense land. We happened upon freshly strewn pine straw. What more could we ask for? We followed a bushy logging trail which led to higher ground. Dodging a bramble bush, I caught sight of a fleeing black shape. Invariably, those sly turkeys had found us out first. Two more got up and flew. While departing, we poured many hot shots after them. The remainder of the flock hustled off to be swallowed by a savannaht which tilted into the swamp. Oh, well, that just goes to prove that caution pays off If you want to talk turkey!
