ins and tackle Ed Pttts have been c
named by the Associated Prese- to a
the first string All-Atlantic Coast c
Conference team. t
Alex and Ed are the first play
ers to be chosen from Carolina
since 1956 when end Buddy Frick a
was chosen to the select group. E
Capture Title
"The Hawk", who needs only 14 h
points to capture the ACC scoring
title from Duke's Wray Carlton, r
was voted the top back for Caro- 0
lina for the second straight week c
in last Saturday's N. C. State
game by sports writers covering h
the game.
The blond 185-pounder from
South Charleston, West Virginia, f
has toted the pigskin .89 times f
for the Gamecocks this season to I
gain 432 yards rushing with a fine s
4.9 yards per carry. He has pulled y
down 7 passes this season to add
106 more yards to his record.
Amazing t
After last Saturday's game,
Coach Warren Giese was quoted
as saying about Alex, "It's amaz- t
ing and a pity that people didn't
realize how great he is. It'll be
Wake Forest
Game Fierce
Tradition
The football series between the
Carolina and Wake Forest has i
been one of the most exciting and
closest of the South's football riv- li
alries.
Ever since World War II the
Gamecocks and Deacons have been N
making a habit of closing out their -
seasons against each other, and
such will be the case in the USC
Wake meeting here Thursday aft
ernoon.
Only in 1949, 1954 and 1955 did
the Gamecocks and Deacs veer
from their season-ending course.
Met 12 Times
Since the war the two teams
have met 12 times, and they have
won six games each, although the
Deacons lead the overall series,
15-13-2. South Carolina has won -
the latest games, however, includ
ing last year's 26-7 verdIct at
Winston-Salem, N. C.
Close scores have been a tradi
tion, too. Leading thrillers have
been the 6-0 USC victory in 1947,
Carolina's 27-20 edge in 1949,
Wake's 14-7 victory in 1950, the
Deacons' 19-13 upset at Charlotte,
N. C., in 1953, a 21-19 Carolina
triumph in 1954, and the 13-0 win
for the Gamecocks at Charlotte
in 1956.
This year's game will match
Wake's dangerous passing attack,
led by quarterback Norman Snead,
against South Carolina's powerful
running game.
Saunder's Bids For Title
Twvo fine fullbacks, John Saund
ers of the Gamecocks and Neil
MacLean of Wake, also figure
strongly in the pre-game compari
son. Saunders is making his final
bid for the Atlantic Coast Con
ference rushing title.

Hawk Ends Career
Alex winds up his fine career
t Carolina against Wake Forest's
lemon Deacons tomorrow. With a
ood showing in this game, Alex
tands an excellent chance to add
is name to the All-American roll.
Junior tackle Ed Pitts is one
eason for the high degree of
,ptimism about next year's Game
ock squad. Ed, who has started
very game for the Gamecocks,
as turned in fine performances in
very game.
Any man on the squad can vouch
or Ed's ability. Ed, who hails
rom Clinton, moved up to the
irst unit right tackle position in
pring practices ahead of last
,ear's starter, John Kompara.
'Love's Contact"

he game. "I've never seen a boy
rho loves contact like Ed does,"

Sports Editor
Coach Warren Giese's Game
cocks, fresh from their 12-7 vic
tory over N. C. State's Wolfpack 'N
last Saturday, face a highly-touted
Wake Forest team tomorrow at
2:00 in a duel that could prove
to be the most significent game
of the season for the Gamecocks.
First of all, the Gamecocks have
the chance to complete the season
with one of the most impressive
records ever competed by a Caro
lina team. Coach Giese's charges
have won six of their nine games
this season, including viptoriel over
conference foes Duke, Clemson,
Virginia, and N. C. State.
Chance For Bowl Bid
Secondly, should the Gamecocks
down the Demon Deacons, they
will stand an excellent chance of
getting a bid to a post-season bowl
game, possibly the Gator Bowl.
Rumor has it that Clemson's AC
Conference championship is being
wooed by the Cotton Bowl. Should
the Tigers be offered this bid, and
accept, Carolina would probably be
the logical choice for the Gator
Bowl bid.
Then there are several individual
performers who will be looking for
ward to the Wage game for a
chance to "show their 'stuff."
The game will present an op
portunity for halfback Alex Hawk
ins, who was recently named to
the first string of the select ACC
All-Conference team, to make his
bid for All-American honors. Alex
has been chosen as Carolina's top
back in the last two games by
sportswriters covering the games.
