Behind T In Carolin BY DAN FOSTER Sports Columnist Carolina has played the Uni versity of Maryland on fifteen oc casions: 5 wins and 10 losses. Mr. J. H. Witherspoon-age 87 who played guard for USC in its 1899 game with Clemson, said after the recent Big Thursday de feat, "We didn't have the forward pass in those days. No one had ever heard of the pass." Well, Mr. Witherspoon, it doesn't appear that much has changed since you were here sixty years ago. Bird Scorers Halfback Billy Bird of Corbin (Ky.) High School scored 66 points in a game with Williamsburg Hi. The points came on 10 touchdowns and 6 extra points. Billy's brother, Roger, got the other touchdown for the Corbin Redhounds. In scor ing 66 points Bird broke the state record of 49 points amassed in 1956 by Calvin Bird, another broth er. It would appear that USC might do well to recruit the Bird brothers, particularly since they are halfbacks who can score. After its first four games (three wins, one loss) the University holds 78 total points to a total of 40 points for the opposition. Phil Lavoie scored 38 of the total USC gain; Steve Satterfield, 12; Ken Norton, 8; Jim Costen, 8; and Jack Pitt and Steve Kopian with 6 points each. Georgia Men The state of Georgia is well represented on the present Game cock squad: Quarterback Buddy Bennett (Jesup), Quarterback Jim Costen (Decatur), Guard Ken Der riso (Swainsboro), Fullback Bob Farmer (Elberton), Halfback Doug Hatcher (Atlanta), Halfback Jack Morris (Macon), End Neel Patrick Player Of The Week .X-.A-X Jake Hodkn BY WAYNE CORBFTT Sports Writer .Jake Bodkin, a 165-pound "runt" when he enrolled at Carolina in 1956, continues to gain honors for himself on the football field. The junior guard's latest honor is that of outstanding lineman in the "Big Thursday" game. Bodkin, n o w a bruising 215 p)oundler, played high school foot ball in South Charleston, West Virgina, home of another Game cock great, Alex Hawkins Bodkin began his sophomore sea son as a secondl-unit man. For his outstandlig performance in t h e Gamecocks 24-141 victory o y e r Georgia, he was chosen ACC soph omore-of-the week. More impor tant was the fact that he had earn ed himself a first unit job. He was chosen on the South Carolina All Star team. Soccer Team Ready To Begin Workouts; Officials Back Team Soccer enthusiasts are going ahead with plans to form a soccer team at the University. Thirteen players met Monday in Russell House and mapped out plans for formulating the team. The team has the official sanction and back ing of Athletic Director Rex En right. The team will practice under the direction of Shuki Shuberto from Jordan. Two practices each weeki have been scheduled on Wednesday andl Saturday afternoons from two to four o'clock. Students interested in playing soccer are invited to at tendl the practice sessions on Davis Field. A soccer team consists of 11 men, one goalkeeper, two backs, two corner backs and three centers participate at one time In two 48 minute halves. No substitution and no time outs are allowed during the game. he Scene .a Sports (Atlanta), Center Jerry Reddick (Slyvanla), Fullback W. L. Strick land (Thomaston), and End Park Turner (Atlanta). Low number on the Gamecock team is no. 10, held by Quarterback D a v e Sowell, a 6-0 sophomore from Cheraw, S. C. High number is no. 89, held by End John Timmer man, a 6-0 junior from Aiken, S. C. Cage Change There has been a change in the opening varsity cage schedule. The opener will be with Erskine on Dec. 3 at the Carolina Field House. The second game will be at Chapel Hill before T. V. cameras on Dec. 5. Two additional injuries to the Gamecock disabled squad include these casualties from Big Thurs day: End Bob Drost. and Center ,Jim Nemeth. Both suffered torn ligaments. Honor Enright The drive to name the Carolina Stdium in honor of REX EN RIGHT, present Director of Ath letics, continues. Mr. Enright was head coach from 1938 to 1942, and from 1946 to 1955. The present stadium was constructed in 1934, enlarged in 1949, and completed to its present capacity in 1957. For the lack of a better name it has been referred to these many years as simply Carolina Stadium. Cer tainly to name it in honor of the University's most outstanding and beloved athletic personality would be fitting and proper. To wait until a man is no longer in the Com munity is wasteful and unfair. Mr. Enright holds a high and honored spot in the hearts of all football fans, and enjoys a popularity with students of which few others could boast. It must be THE REX EN RIGHT STADIUM. "Come Watch First S Coach Issu To Alumni "I extend a cordial invitation to the Carolina alumni and students to watch our first scrimmage of the season tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the Field House," basketball coach Robert Stevens announced.

The yearlings from Tigertown w o n their third straight and have not been scored upon yet, while the Biddies tasted defeat for the first time ,this season. About 5,000 fans braved the elements to see Clemson take an early lead on a freak safety. As Carolina halfback Ken Kilrea stood deep in his end zone preparing to punt, he stepped on the back line to give the Baby Bengals two points. On the preceding play, Biddie quarterback Tommy Pilcher lost the snap from center then scampered 108 yards for an ap parent touchdown; however, the young Roosters were off side, nul lifying the play. The first Tiger touchdown came in the second quarter, after guard Bill Weaver blocked a South Caro lina punt at the Biddie 42. A long pass play involving quarterback Joe Anderson and end Coleman Glaze set up the TD at the three, with McGuirt going over two plays later. The point-after kick failed and Coach "Goat" McMillan's forc qs held an 8-0 halftime lead. An almost identical situation in the third period yielded a second Tiger touchdown. Halfback Mack Matthews intercepted a Biddie pass at the Carolina 39, and a subse quent Anderson-to-Glaze a e r i al put the pigskin on the two. Again the burly fullback from Lancaster was called on for the overland score, but the pass attempt failed on the point-after try. Here the s c o r i n g ceased, as the Cubs marched off the field with another notch on their victory gun.
