College Football Offenses
Take ,a A "New Look"
Ri Jerrv M""rg
College football offenses have taken on somewhat of
"new look" this season. Or perhaps it would be more exa<
to say that football is searching for a "new look."
It seems that every major team In the country is lookin
for some new way to move the ball. The outcome of thee
experiments has the game's experts guessing.
Many of football's thinkers seemed to believe that Arm
had found the answer in their "Lonesome End" offen
which they employed in their humiliating 45-8 defeat <
Carolina, and, more recently, in their 26-0 victory over Pon
State.
Others have their own ideas.
But fans across the country agree . .'. football is in
process of changing. Once a better offense is develope<
more and more teams will adopt it.
This point was borne out in Carolina's 24-14 defeat <
Georgia last Saturday. Both teams employed Coach Eai
Blaik's innovation, the "Lonesome End" formation, to goo
advantage. The Bulldog's first touchdown was scored fror
this formation.
Clemson's "Bashful Baron," Frank Howard, liked severg
plays in Virginia's new offense, adopted them, and utilize
them to defeat both North Carolina and Maryland.
Oklahoma, the number 2 team in the nation, has a nei
offensive look.
Only time will tell which of these "new looks" wi
emerge as the most effective of the new ones now bein
experimented with.
"Let's let the season bear out which one is here to stay,
says Carolina Head Coach Warren Giese. "Whether or nc
the "Lonesome End" formation is the answer remains t
be seen."
"Once this new offense is established," Coach Giese ex
plains, "a new defensive philosophy will have to develop t
catch up. Teams have been trying to defense the Split '
formation for 18 years and so far no plan has been thoroughl
effective. It's hard to tell what form offensive thinking wi
take."
TIDBITS
Freshman Football Coach Bill Wilsie and his Biddie
travel North tonight to do battle with the North Carolin
State froih. This will be their last game until "Little Wec
nesday," the night before the Clemson game. In their las
outing, the Biddies downed the Wake Forest frosh 16-12. . .
In the football .locker room at the University of Tennesse
hangs a sign which states:
"Every man on our team plays on the 'B' squad... 'I
good, or 'B' gone. . . . In tomorrow's meeting, Carolina i
again the underdog. Experts pick the University of Nort
Carolina to down the Gamecocks by 6 points. Coach Giese'
team has won two games in their last three outings. In a
three of the games Carolina has been the underdog. We'r
wondering if we'll ever be an "overdog." . . . Almost 15
Carolina students entered the Gamecocks "Gridiron Guessin
Game" last week.
Have you tried your luck at picking the winners? Th
Gamecock offers a prize of $5 to the winner each week.

Several bright spots have ap

basketball player, who was un
able to play last season due tc
an attack of yellow jaundice. Mor

in an extremely strong Atlantici
Coast Conference. The wealth of
good infielders even brings a smile
to the face of Coach Grugan who,
in the past, has been very apt
at the use of the proverbial cry
ing towel. Leading this fine group
of talent are Velton Champion
and Ken Rosefield at first; Cleon
Reese and Grif Airheart at 2nd;
Bob Bridges and Dan Morgan at
shortstop; and William Kelly and
Bunky Shore at 3rd. The burden
of filling in at catcher will rest
squarely on the shoulders of Jerry
Frye and Bob Ellenburg. Bob is
a transfer student and has shown
up very well in early practices.
Another new face to the squad,
although not to the student body,
is Heyward King who for four
years has been halfback on the
football team as well as a sprint
man on the track squad. -Grugan
regards King as an outstanding
prospect for a starting berth in
the outfield.
Carroll Norrell, a varsity pitch
er for the last two seasons, who
has been plagued with arm trou
ble, has been shifted to the out
field during fall practice In order
to utilize his hitting ability. He
has been looking particularly good
in practice, and is expected to
make a strong bid for a starting
assignment.

Carolina's Gamecocks, fresh from
their 24-14 win over a highly
touted Georgia team, invade Ken
an Stadium In Chapel Hill, tomor
row to do battle with North Caro
lina's Tar Heels, in the third meet
ing between former coaching col
leagues Jim Tatum and Warren
Giese.
The two coaches are deadlocked
1-1 in games won in preparation
for tomorrow's game. Giese up
endtd his old boss 14-0 in 1956,
but "Stiny" Jim gained his re
venge last fall, 28-6.
For the Gamecocks, sporting a
clean Conference slate, the game
represents their -second conference
met of the year. In their only
Conference game thus far the
Carolina eleven came up with a
8-0 win over Duke.
The Tar Heels will be looking
for their first conference win of
the year in tomorrow's meeting.
Coach Tatum's team, picked as one
of" the strongest in the ACC in
pre-season predictions, have lost
both of their conference bouts
the first to N. C. State and the
second to Clemson. ,
However, the Tar Heels come

Elmira Changes
The most extensive changes
made in the curriculum of the
Division of Natural Sciences at
Elmira College for the new aca

This department no longer offers
I a major satisfyihg the require

Society, but it is attempting to
tie courses in to biology and the
medical technology program.
In this way the department will
be able to meet the needs of more

In Good Shape
The Gamecocks c#sse out of, the
Georgia game in good phy#4cal
shape, and Giese considers the
victory a psychological blost for
the squad after the disabpoint
ment of the trip to Army. North 0
Carolina also had its spirits lifted
in their win over Southern Cali
fornia last Friday night.
Giese pointed out, "Befoie the
season started everyone consid
ered North Carolina one of the
toughest teams in the country,
and their first three games indi
cated that they were right. Their
losses to North Carolina State
'nd Clemson were extremely close
ones, and they knocked off a
very fine Southern California
team."
Quarterbacks Tops
The Tar Heels reputedly pos
sess one of the best rosters of
quarterbacks of any team in the
Conference, led by Jack Cummings,
180-pound junior, who broke
Charlie Justice's long standing
record for pass completions last
year.
A better line appears to be
assdred with sound play at every
position for the Tar Heels. Lead
ing the linemen is co-captain Phil
Blazer, 224-pound tackle who was
picked for last year's All-Atlantic
Coast Conference team. Phil
kicks the extra points for North
Carolina and made 13 out of 15
attempts last year.
Other outstanding lettermen
are guard Jack Lineberger, center
Ronnie lCoes, halfback Emil De
Cantis and Daley Goff, and full
back Don Coker.
Princeton Changes
Princeton Universitys Depart
ment of Military Science has com
pletely revised its program for
Army ROTC students so that all
but three one-term courses are
now given by the regular aca
demic departments of the Univer
sity.
