Biddies Open Cock Tales . . . . . With Gray The Duke game is history and we know some of you readers would like to forget it, but we don't want to erase it from our minds completely without giving our reasons for the loss. We had the pleasure of attending the weekly press conference given by the Athletic Department last Monday. When Coach Giese was asked about the defeat, he replied, "Bill (Murray) is the seventh coach in the nation with the most victories, and he certainly lived up to that honor Saturday night. He used an offense that was different from anything we had ever seen. Duke is a fine team and they could have a good season with their offense in opera, tion." The offense that Coach Giese referred to is certainly something entirely new. Army introduced the "lonesome end" several years back, and if you readers will recall, Caro lina was the first team on which it was tried. Duke also introduced a new offense against the Gamecocks, one that employs the lonesome end as well as a floating halfback. This halfback lines up wide in the backfield, taking his position between the tackle and the end. This man, on a pass pattern, runs out into the flat. This is an exceptionally hard pattern to cover because the end has already taken one of the defensive backs downfield, and the linebacker is left to cover the halfback. If the defensive man does not go downfield, then the end receives the ball. This happened quite a few times; enough, in fact, for Tee Moorman to set a new ACC record for the most passes caught in a single game. Also, if the linebacker pulls over, this leaves a spot for a ground game. Thus, all of you must agree with us when we say the Duke offense created quite a problem, even for our fine football team and coaching staff. We don't think the Gamecocks were at their best Satur day, but we do feel that they will improve, starting tomorrow in Athens. Our only regret is some of the students have lost what little spirit they had prior to the Duke game. We know that losing the first game in the manner in which it was lost is nothing to be proud of. Regardless, it is our ball club, and they do participate for us. This column is behind the Gamecocks, win or lose, and we think it is the duty of each individual of the student body to support the Birds with a lot more spirit than has been shown in previous out ings. Billy Hildebrand, the new mentor at Wake Forest, told newsmen after the Clemson-Deac clash he didn't think the Tigers were as good this year as they were in 1959. Hilde brand said the whole Clemson team appeared sluggish. "I remember two instances in which our boys ran down the Tigers after they intercepted one of our passes," stated the young coach. Speaking of the Sharecroppers, we noticed that Bill McGuirt, the flower of Tiger sophomores, is tied for first place as the leading scorer in the nation. McGuirt scored three touchdowns against Wake Forest, but we are puzzled at the fact that his total rushing yardage only amounts to 11 yardIs. W~hat's going_on in the hills ?

Only 36 boys are on the squad, but it contains more talent than in recent years and brings much I hope for the future varsity teams. i USC frosh Coach Bill England feels that the team is ready to go but adds that the Terps' offense is one of the most varied in the 1 conference. England, making his debut here, expects Maryland to use varsity tactics in their de fense and offense. England Returns r England left South Carolina in 1956 and went into high school coaching in North Carolina, but I returned to the Gamecocks this I year. Starting at the end positions for Carolina are Billy Nies, Rock Hill, and Fred Neal, of Burling ton, N. C.; at the tackles are Tom Gibson, Greenville, and Richard Tate, Burlington; at the guards are Richard Eib, South River, N.

The forward wall averages 209 pounds, and the backfield, which is very s 1) e e d y , average 185 pounds. Dual Unit System The USC Biddies will use a two unit system in the game, which might tend to wear Maryland's team down. The defensive unit could find the going tough against Mary land's offense, which is expected to use the passing attack, the spread, and the familiar "I" for mation. handso comfor s1.s 'onight' Announce New Intramural Zone Leaders The start of intramurals is just ,wo weeks off.
