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 ?

Slate I
England's
Men Meet
Terrapins
BY GENE STEADMAN
Sports Writer
At 8 o'clock tonight the Carolina
freshmen open t h e i r season
against the Maryland Baby Terps
at Carolina Stadium.
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. J., and Joe Melfi, Summerville;
the center is Eddie McAteer, Bur
lington; at quarterback will be
Richard Tate, Burlington; at the
halfback spots are Jimmy Jordan,
Dunn, N. C., and Buddy Milton,
Atlanta; the fullback slot will be
filled by Bob Fisher of N e w
Milford, N. J.
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.
