A Man C In 1984 conerete and steel wer moulded togetber into a footbal stadiun on the site of the State Fair. The structure replaced wood. en stands which had been used as a football stadium by Carolina. The seating capacity of the new standA was 38,000, and each year on big thursday the standh overflowed. Carolina stadium became the house of the Gamecocks. Prior to the 1930's Carolina foot ball teams were good, bad, and Indifferent. Football was played for love and glory; then came the "Jazz Age" motivating interest in many things, not the least being college football. S o m e of the writers of this period, Scott Fitz gerald and Thomas Wolfe included, wrote about football in their works. Grantland Rice, Red Smith, and hundreds of sports writers stirred the public's interest in a game of brain and brawn. This frenzied in terest helped to change football from a player's sport to a specta tor's sport. It became a paying proposition. Colleges were quick to grasp the new method of making money. The advent of money-making football created an influx of "win at any cost" coaches who knew a winning team was necessary to keep the turnstiles spinning at a merry pace. Colleges hired coaches to produce winning teams, and if a coach didn't produce, he was abruptly presented walking papers. In the midst of the college ad justment to money-making foot ball, there arrived at Carolina a young man from Illinois. He had g ai n e d coaching experience at North Carolina and Georgia and playing experience in college and professional football. His n a m e was Rex Enright and he came well equipped for the job of athletic director and head football coach. He was well educated, BS and L.L.D. degrees from Notre Dame. He was wise to the ways of good Behind TI In Carolin BY DAN FOSTER Sports Columnist ... USC has played the University of Virginia on 17 occasions: 9 wins and 8 losses. . . . Center John Gordon, injured in the Maryland game, was a foot ball, basketball and baseball star at Huntingdon, Pa., high school in 1950. While serving in the Air Force, Carolina scouts saw him playing football for Shaw Field. He came to USC in '57 and played on the Biddie squad. Last spring he moved up to the varsity second unit. John is majoring in educa tion, is married, and has an infant son. . .. Galloping Joe Gomes, USC's dy namic halfback who turned Home coming Day into Gomes Day, rolled up two TD's against the Terrapins, looked exceptionally strong on de fense, and threw cold water on Maryland's passing attack. Joe was placed on the second unit last spring, but due to heavy injuries at the halfback spot, he has moved up to the first unit. Gomes is a business major and member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.

This vm experience, but he brought witi him to Carolina outstanding asset. ambition, perseverance, and fore sight. He could not hwve knowz then what his destiny would be, noi the extent of his personal Influenct upon a game, a college and a state This man, Coach Enright as hi is called by people close to him possessed outstanding v I r t u e I which placed him above the crowd not the~least being kindness an< understanding. Without benefit ol the Dale Carnegie Course, he made friends and influenced people. The years that followed wer years of building, not just a struc. ture or frame hurriedly put up, but deliberately constructing a firni foundation, one which would with stand the greatest destroyer of all-time. In building this strong foundation in athletics at Carolina, Coach Enright endeared himself to the students, athletes, and peo ple of South Carolina and the na tion. He became an integral part of the University, the city of Co lumbia and South Carolina. Coach Enright put Carolina on the football map. Great winning teams were not his trademark. He went further than that; he put the welfare of his athletes above win ning. He was both a father and coach to them, and needless to say they loved him for it. He built something more lasting than win ning football teams, he built men, and while doing this he won his share of football games. Renaming Carolina Stadium to Rex Enright Stadium would be a token of appreciation for the hard work this great man has done for the University and South Carolina. It will not begin to repay the debt that we owe, but it will be a small tribute to a man who has given the greatest gift of all for the benefit of athletics and the Uni versity. He has given and is giving himself; even God does not ask more of anyone. ie Scene a Sports ...

The Dixie Legion, for those who don't know, is the USC freshman basketball squad nicknamed be cause of t h e predominance of northerners. Even new coach Gor don Stauffer came here f r o m Royerton, Indiana. Otauffer sent his charges into a game-type scrimmage against the varsity squad last Saturday. With less than two weeks of prac tice under its belt, the Legion fought their older and more ex perienced opponents on even terms but finally came out on the short end of a 78-77 score. Scotty Ward displayed his deadly shooting eye, popping in a soft jump shot from outside time after time. Ward, a product of Valparai so, Indiana, came to Carolina high ly recommended by all who had seen them. Ward's partner In Carolina's new quick break offense is Jim Collins. Collins, from Dumont, New Jersey, likes to drive but is a fair outside shooter. Both Ward and Collins possess good speed, an earmark of the. whole team.

The Carolina first-year men will be out to better their 2-2 seasonal record, while the Deacleta are seeking their first win of the year. If comparative scores are of any value, the locals should have a slight advantage in tonight's clash. Aside from actual won-lost records, the young Gamecocks have come out better against some of the same opponents Wake Forest has faced. The Baby Demons began the season by dropping a decision to a rugged Clemson team, 36-0. Although the Tigers also beat Coach Jesse Berry's boys, t.h e margin was only 14-0. N. C. State's Wolflets pounded t h e Deaclets 27-14 a week after the Carolina eleven had beaten the State squad, 14-6. The Winston-Salem natives have also lost to the North Caro lina frosh, 32-0. rebounders. Miller has a good pair of hands, enabling him to pass and handle the ball very well. And he's no slouch at shooting. Bob Haney, who resembles the great Grady Wallace, is a steady performer who is hardly noticed on the floor. The 6-4, 185 pound native of Lucasville, Ohio, rebounds with the big boys and can score with a fine jump shot. The other Hoosier member of the Legion is Bob Swenson of Syrakuse, Indiana. Bob, the team's only southpaw, needs polish but is a scrapper under the boards. He joined Provoznik on the injured list during early practices but appears to be running at full strength now. Swenson is 6-4 and weighs in at 195. a. & tt & Whitney Al Exhaustive testing ofi thrust chambers is ca Research and D.

In the N. C. State game they fumbled twice on the State goal line. Carrying the bur den of the offensive attack are the only two backs who have scored this season-fullback Gary Haddad and quarterback Howard Barnhardt. The standout along the young forward wall is tackle Leon Brogden, who is a vicious tackler and blocker and doubles as the team's extra point man. Injuries to Biddies Ken Lester, Wayne Spivey, Ken Kilrea, and Woody Barfield have been costly, but the team has sufficient depth to partially compensate for the loss of these four first unit players. The second unit will more than likely see a good bit of action to night, in an effort to give each man the experience necessary in becoming a member of the varsity squad next year. The alternate line, headed by Robert Ordakowski, Sam Humphreys, Bob White, and Roger Chastain, has proven valu able in stopping threats from Bid die opponents this year. In addi tion to the starting backfield of Tommy Pilcher, D e a n Fowble, Jimmy King, and Dick Day, sev eral others have placed their name on the honor roll for outstanding playing. They include Carl Hug gins, Monnie Broome, Garrett Na tion, and Charlie Williams. Fans have thus far been im pressed with the effort of the team as one unit and not just one or two stars. Combined with the present juniors and sophomores on the varsity squad, these freshmen should give Carolina fans some thing to look forward to next season, which includes a game with the nation's Number One squad, Louisiana State. rcraft.. uII-scale rocket engine rrled on at the Florida velopment Center. saions among analytical uous exchange of ideas .arch projects.
