Fullback Of Top Bo A block-busting Carolina full back is making the people who select All-America high school teams genuine fortune tellers. John Saunders, a 200-pound junior who made prep headlines for Churchland, Va., high school for severr.1 years, has developed into one of the most impressive fullbacks in Gamecock history. Head coach Warren Giese is hoping Saunders will come through with another hard-running per formance a g a i n s t Maryland's rugged defense at College Park, Md., Saturday afternoon. Saunders reached one of the high spots in his career last week when he was chosen the Game cocks' outstanding back by the press for the way he blasted the Clemson line in a 26-6 victory. Saunders led the rushing with 69 yards and gained the writers' nod by a narrow margin over half back Alex Hawkins, who turned * Engsh T M IQ~T~ NT HIB.Bo WCKIES r ti ic fi!

He had done a fine job as an apprentice last year, gaining 142 yards and averaging 4.2 per try. This year he is running second to Hawkins in the Carolina rush ing statistics with 187 yards and a 3.7 pace. Top& All Around Giese likes Saunders' all-around contributions to the team. After watching Saunders crack the Geor gia defense for 41 yards in eight tries and clear the path for other backs, the South Carolina coach paid tribute to his play. "Saunders is doing a tremen dous job for us," he commented, "and he's as fine a blocking full back as I've been associated with, and that includes Ed Modzelewski at Maryland."

Defense, Too Defensively, Saunders is sound, too, and anytime the Gamecocks get into a crucial situation when he isn't in the game, John is usually sent in to take over the linebacking on one side of the de fense. Typical of the press comments after the "Big Thursday" triumph were those by sports editor War ren Koon of the Charleston Eve ning Post. Said Koon, "Saunders showed the most effort for the extra yards of any back I've seen this year."

CCESSFUL MUSICAL Enggli9 ve l's e) re be er - ~English: S RI K E Second Unit Line Add Depth To Forward Wall It's an accepted fact that any successful football team these days must have that valuable in gredient known as depth, and Carolina is finding such a boost in its second-unit line. The alternate forward wall has played significant roles in -vic tories over Duke, Georgia and Clemson this season and will no doubt figure prominently in the game with Maryland at College Park, Md., Saturday afternoon. Making-up that unit are ends Jimmy Duncan of Charlotte and Weems Baskin of Columbia, tackles Bill Jerry of Old Forge, Pa., and John Kompara of Can ton, 0., guards Jimmy Merck of Liberty and Kirk Phares of Nor folk, Va., and center Dwight Keith of Atlanta, Ga. Another end, Buddy Mayfield of Atlanta, often figures into the unit, also. The Gamecocks' "other line" had its best day .in last week's 26-6 victory over previously unbeaten and tenth-ranked Clemson. It led a charge that moved to ball from South Carolina's 25 to Clemson's 12, setting up a touch down that gave the Gamecocks a 6-6 half-time tie. Held Tigers After South Carolina had gone ahead, 14-6, in the third period that unit came in with 8:34 re maining in the quarter and held the Tigers in check until the first team came back to start the final quarter. In that final period, when Carolina scored twice, the 'second unit line was used in front of the first-unit backfield part of the time and moved the ball well. Against Duke and Georgia the alternate line was sent in several times in key defensive situations and performed well. Better-than-average experience is one of the key ingredients in the Gamecocks' second unit. Bas kin, Kompara, Merck and Keith are all seniors who have lettered twice. Duncan, Jerry and Phares are junior lettermen. The Gamecocks will need plenty of line security against Maryland, which has one of the finest for ward walls in the South. South Carolina enters Saturday's game with a 3-2 overall record and 2-1 in the Atlantic Coast Confer ence. ~h NITINCT INSECT .lCg EYE DOCTOR soo EEPY TREE CUTTER B irdometer TEAM STATISTICS USC Opp. First downs .......................... 59 75 Rushing yardage ..... ........ . 871 975 Passing yardage ...... . 151 604 Total yardage . . . ... . 1022 1579 Passes attempted . . 31 88 Passes completed . . . . . 11 41 Passes intercepted by .... . 4 4 No. of punts . . ... ... . 39 28 Yards punted .... . 1307 1097 Punting average . . 33.5 39.1 No. of penalties ........... 37 82 Yards penalized .. . 366 380 Fumbles lost ........ . 5 6 INDIVIDUAL RUSHING No. Yds.

Giese Lauds Gamecocks' Line Play Carolina head coach Warren Giese speaks with pride about his Gamecock line that has yielded only two touchdowns in three At lantic Coast Conference football games thus far. The Gamecocks have beaten Duke, 8-0, and Clemson, 26-6, and lost to North Carolina, 6-0,- in ACC meetings. with Maryland's Terrapins looming next . College Park, Md., Saturday afternoon. The South Carolina forward wall hit one of its peaks last week against Clemson, holding the Tigers to 95 yards rushing and blasting the way for Gamecock backs in a 26-6 victory. Giese likes to credit groups rather than individuals for such performances, but looking back over the first five games, the Gamecock head coach points to a couple of standout performers. Pitts, Bodkii Ed Pitts, a 215-pound junior tackle from Clintop, and Jake Bod kin, a 210-pound sophomore guard from South Charleston, W. Va., have been spearheads in the Gamecock up-front unit. Of Pitts, Giese says, "Ed is a boy who loves contact, and there has never been any question from the start that he would be a fine college lineman. He did an ex cellent job for us as a sophomore, and when he moved ahead of John Kompara at right tackle last spring, it was certainly nothing to Kompara's discredit. "I'd match Pitts with any tackle in the conference; he's a fine blocker and a sure tackler," Giese adds. Giese lists the play of Bodkin as one of the pleasant surprises of the season. "He's probably the strongest boy on our squad," says the Game cock coach, "and he is managing to avoid the bad mistakes that sophomores are prone to eommit." Bodkin came from the same high school as star halfback Alex Hawkins, who recommended him for a scholarship. Bodkin had been ignored by college scouts in high school, but he "enrolled" first with the U. S. Army as a para trooper, put on weight and played service football. The play of South Carolina's left tackle, senior Don Rogers, has also been of exceptional calibre on occasions, and he is one of the league's more capable defensive men.
