Coach Walt Hambrick's basket
ball team opened the season last
Tuesday night with an intra-squad
scrimmage in the Field house.
Coach Pleased
Coach Hambrick seemed fairly
pleased with the scrimmage. His
two main comments on the scrim
mage were that the ball playing
in general looked pretty good but
that the shooting looked terrib!e.
One of the reasons that the
shooting was bad was there seemed
to be a lack of opportunities for
good shots, another was that the
team had been concentrating
heavily on defense in practice.

t-Squad S(
There were several bright as
pects to the evening. Fred Lentz's
shoulder looked to be in very good
shape and he was in under the
basket hustling quite well, Melvin
Quick looked very good in his
shooting and Bob Franz was out
standing on his rebounding.
There were several players who
by this time of the season should
be in shape but were dragging
before the scrimmage was fifteen
minutes old. Mike Callahan was
two to three sedonds behind most
of the fast break plays, while the
Hudson brothers appeared to be
determined to put each other out
of business.

The team appeared to have the
will to win and the desire to play
ball. Last night's scrimmage be
tween the varsity and the fresh
men went a long way towards
pointing- out the possible starters
in the regular season's games.
The crowds at the scrimmage
left a lot to be desired. It is esti
mated that about 300 studenta and
guests watched the varsity scrim

and more students had something
else to do or somewhere else to

'58 Backfield
Called Best '
In USC History
Some observers are calling this
year's University of South Caro
lina backfield possibly the best all
around in the school's history.
The Gamecocks, who meet North
Carolina State here tomorrow
afternoon in an effort to -improve
on a 5-3 won-lost record, have been
getting tremendous mileage out of
quarterback Bobby Bunch, half
backs Alex Hawkins and King
Dixon and fullback John Saunders.
Opposition Tough
In going up against tough oppo
sition week after week, including
three opponents that have been
ranked among the top 11 in the
nation, South* Carolina's starting
backfield has accounted for 1,513
of the team's total of 1,952 yards
and scored 106 of the 182 points.
Bunch Game Back Strong
Bunch, out of action after the
fourth game last year because of
a shoulder injury, has come back
strung this year. His play selec
tion has been excellent, he has run
well when the occasions have
arisen, and his passing has been
adequate in key situations.
For example, against Clemson
Bunch stuck to the ground, run
ning often himself, but when the
occasion called for it, he fired
a 26-yard pass to end Buddy May
field to set-up the score that
launched USC to a 26-6 win.
Hawkins, a great defensive
back, has run, passed and received
like a true All-American. In all
he has handled the ball 112 times
this year on all types of plays and
moved it 784 yards toward oppos
ing goals for an average of 7.0.
Dixon has been a steady per
former in all phases, running well,
doing most of the punting and
turning in fine defensive play.
Saunders, the 205-pounder from
Churchland, Va., has been tht sur
prise back of the Atlantic Coast
Conference. His 528 yards rushing
is second best in the league, and
he is a real threat for the No. 1
position.

Best Records
The 1958 Carolina football team
could establish a claim as one of
the best, if not the best, in the his
tory of the school by defeating
North Carolina State here tomor
row afternoon and Wake Forest
on Thanksgiving Day.
Last weekend's 28-14 win over
Virginia gave the Gameaeks -a
record of five wins and three
losses, and that mark could be im
proved to 7-3. Such an accomplish
ment would rate comparison to the
1953 team and the 1966 squad,
both of which had 7-8 readings
against tough opposition.
Five Wins
Victories this year over Duke,
Georgia, Clemson, Furman and
Virginia, and losses to Army,
North Carolina and Maryland
have seen the Gamecocks turn in
hard-hitting performances.
Army confused the Gamecocks
with a new offense and won han
dily, but North Carolina barely
squeezed by the Gamecocks, 6-0,
and Maryland was handed its
touchdown by a bad center snap
at the Gamecock two-yard line in
a 10-6 win.
