The unbeaten Birds ran their string of consecutive victories to seven, and their eighth straight in bowl-shaped C a r o l i n a Stadium. Not since the 1914-16 seasons has a U. S.

The victory broke a chain of four wins for the favored Bu dogs, dating back to their 76-0 slaughter of The Citadel last No vember, and including recent SEC triumphs over Alabama and Van derbilt.

After two Georgis fumbles and a blocked Bobby Wal den punt, resulting from the bruis ing Carolina line play, quarterback Jim Costen sneaked into the end zone for t h e Gamecocks' initial score. The hustling little sophomore added the two-point conversion oi a roll-out. Although this concluded the scoring for the first quarter the red-jersied Birds allowed Georgia possession of the ball only 18 plays, as the visitors from Athens spent their most miserabie 15 minutes in many a game. The low-scoring second period began with several short driveE and subsequent punts by bott squads, highlighted by the running of Rooster scatback Ken Norton the power of the entire CarolinE forward wall, and Steve Kopian'. perfect punt which rolled dead or the Bulldog three.

The block-busting senior plunged over from the two and added the bwo-point tally on a similar carry. Not to be whitewashed, Georgia field general Francis Tarkenton cranked up his passing machine, and, after several substantial air borne gains, caught halfback Bill McKenny in the end zone to re duce Carolina's margin to 24-6. The PA'T pass was batted down by Jim Bowman as the quarter ended. Already tasting defeat, the Athenian rooters cringed even more when the ruthless Gamecocks once again delved deep into enemy territory in the fourth period. Fol lowing a series of fumbles, Lavoie was off to the races once more. On an end skirt he received several good blocks and carried the re mainder of the defenders to pay dirt with him, scoring from 28 yards out. The pass attemipt failed, following Lavoie's 20th point of the day. From this point Tarkenton and Britt filled the air with aerials, and with only 33 seconds re maining in the contest, the latter connected with halfback Bobby Towns for a 53-yard scoring play.

In the past, this parent for mation has yielded several varia tions, including an unbalanced line, flankers, men in motion, reverses, and wing T operations. Just as Maryland's "I" was hard to dot, the wing T will be equally hard to defend against. The Wolflets come into the state capital a slight underdog, as far as won-lost records go, for they were the victims of a powerful North Carolina freshman squad last week, 28-0. A strong passing attack is State's most formidable weapon, and the team boasts a fine crew of quarterbacks. Bill Kriger and Phil Sandifer top the list, while end Don Montgomery and halfback Jim Darrup are equally capable receivers.
