.~ . . . .. . . W By BOBBI Frosting on the Cake The Carolina football team is undoubtedly one of the finest dis ciplined squads ever assembled. This points out the high moral calibre of the individual players, the excellent team leadership, and the excellent coaching job being (lone. The team ably represented the University and the State of South Carolina in Miami. In~defeat they were gentlemen, and we are rightly proud of them. There is a difference between losing a football game and being beaten by an opposing team. The Gamecocks did not lose to Miami. Miami won the game. This isn't double talk, just facts. The Game cocks played good football; good enough to win most games. The Hurricanes played better. Some times the b a I I takes a crazy bounce; sometimes t h e whistle blows at the wrong time; or a flag falls to the ground on a crucial play. In this game little things mean more than a lot. Still in the record books they don't record how hard you played. There's only cold statistics; but with a good break or two we would have had a 6-2 record instead of a 5-3.

Mr. Burns praised En right for doing so much for south ern football. We agree entirely with the article. There was both joy and sadness on the return trip from Miami to Columbia when the Clemson-Mary land score was announced. There was joy -that the Tigers lost; but sadness concerning t h e Tigers' bowl chances Which would aid the University treasury. The Last Slice Co-Captain Ed Pitts played his usual fine game in Miami. Should Ed decide to play professional football, he should make it big. His determination and skill make him one of the outstanding foot ball players in the country. He's also one of the finest athletes I've over known. The name, Dixie Legion, was supplied the freshman basketball team by our able sports columnist, Dan Foster.

Norvo k- Clytn Gabriel Comes to ToN Birds S Hoop Teams I As Opening Ga BY DAN FOSTER Sports Columnist Whether the University varsity cagers have another cold, lean year at the Field House appears to hinge on two things: drive and de fense. They got the chance to test both in last Saturday's scrimmage with the freshmen. Final score was 97-81, with the v a r s i t y hard pressed to hold off a scrapping, determined Biddie squad. Popular head coach Bob Stevens, looking forward to his first year at Carolina, put the entire Game cock bench into the game, and the weekend scrimmage must have indicated that his wards are still not strong enougl However, the opener with Erskine on Dec. 3 is some three weeks away, and no doubt the kinks will be ironed out by then. Frosh c o a c h Gordon Stauffer was noticeably impressed with the showing of his Dixie Legion, who turned a routine scrimmage into a nip and tuck tussle all the way. Only in the waning moments did the varsity turn the tables and s h o w the get-up-and-go spirit needed to win in the A.C.C. It may be said for the Biddies that they did not let up as they goaded their varsity "betters" into action. Improvement Noted However, Saturday's scrimmage did point up many improvements. Larry Dial appeared a different eager over his last year's role. Dial, a 6-10 center, was more polished, more certain of himself, and able to work better with his teammates. Playmaker Bud Cronin, star guard from last year's frosh team, looked quite good, as did Bob Rebhan, a sophomore forward. Art Whisnant, high scorer as a freshman, has improved on his shooting and witl no doubt be a regular starter for the varsity. The varsity holdovers from last year's disaitrous season (4 wins, 20 losses) were so-so. Walt Hudson has quickened his pace, Bob Frantz shows promise, a n d "Fighting" Mike Callahan, who along with Cookie Pericola dominated t h e hardwvoods in the past cage season, wvill be looked to for the necessary CIGAR The Great!

Frosh Play Well The spirited showing of t h Dixie Legion gave Carolina fan every reason to hope for firsi class basketball in the years t come.

Surrounded I ONE DAY STA. - ~ Exclui -LAUM me Game Wolfpack Furnishes Opposition Quarterback R o m a n Gabriel brings his golden pitching arm to Columbia, to entertain the Game cocks' secondary tomorrow after noon. The sophomore thrower and his mates from N. C. State figure to c a t c h Carolina still reeling from the Miami defeat. State has won only one game in eight starts this season. An opening game victory over Vir ginia Tech has been followed by seven straight setbacks; still the Staters have a' g o o d football team as proven by their narrow margins of defeats. Duke up ended them 17-15. Wake Forest went the limit before winning 17-14. North Carolina and UCLA won by margin 21-12. Gabriel's passing is aided by a g o o d running attack featuring halfbacks Ron Podwika, Arnold Nelson, Bernie Latusick and Claude Gibson. The pass receivers include ends Dick Drexler, Jim Tapp and i George Vollmar. State's defensive line is strong. Co-Captains Paul Balonick a n d Kelly Minyard lead a line which matches the Gamecocks in weight. The biggest man on the field will be State tackle Dick Reynolds, 6-5, 262 pounds. The Gamecocks escaped seri ous injury in the Miami game. Quarterback Buddy B e n n e t t cracked several ribs and several others received bumps and bruis es. Halfback Jim B o w m a n and guard Sammy Fewell will see ac tion this week for the first time since injuries sidelined the pair in the early part of the season. End Tbm Snyder received special praise from Coach Warren Giese for his spirited play in last Fri day's game. Snyder, Ed Pitts, Jack Pitt, Jerry Frye and Kirk Phares showed well against the Hurricanes. "We have to try to get our de fense around to stop another fine passing attack," Coach Giese said at his weekly press confer ence. "State has a ball club thai explodes on you. They h a y e moved the ball on the ground and in the air; and they are a club that moves the hall in big chunks at the end of the half and towards the end of the game," Giese added. "State has one of the strongest lines we have faced," the Head Mentor stated, adding, "they did a tremendous job against UCLA last Friday." If past games mean anything; tomorrow's affair shapes up as another thriller. Last season the Gamecocks squeezed by 12-7 and State had a drive going as the game ended.
