Meet. BY CARROLL GRAY (Editor's Note: This article is the sixth in a series in which a member of the varsity is fea tured each week. Next week Richard Lomas.) Everyone is familiar with the historical "Minute Men" of early America who bravely rode into danger with little regard for life and limb. And almost all Carolina fans are familiar with the "Mi. nute Men" of 1961 Gamecocks who run bravely into dangerous lineE with little regard for life and limb. Yes, Carolina halfbacks and those early Revolutionists have much in common. A popular "Mi-nute Man" iE halfback Henry Crosby. Henry, i senior, calls Ridgeland, Soutt Carolina his home.

S.U.-Carolina football game at Carolina Stadium this Past Saturday, the varsity soccer team scrimmaged a squad made up of freshmen and transfer students (ineligible for varsity status until next season). Charac terized by the spirit and a desire to "beat the varsity!" the ineligi bles pulled a 2-0 upset. While defeat is not a new ex perience for the varsity, this time it merely emphasized the fact that next year things will be vastly different. Coaches Pete Petersen, Tom Wylie, and Frank Bruck are all enthusiastic about possibilities for the 1962 squad. Coming back from this year's varsity will be standouts Klaus Thonues, Wayne Asplen, and Fred Jones, to be joined by Don Patterson, Bob Guerreri, Bruce Brust, Habib Iakim. Louis Jones, and Bill Pace from the non-varsity units. This year's soccer team, the first in the University's history, has been hampered by inexperi ence, lack of a potent offense, and depth.

Thus far. this year, the Cubs have taken the measure of North Carolina's frosh, 30-27 in a thriller after knocking off the first-year men from Wake Forest in their first game. The Cubs lost in their last outing to an extremely tough Duke team, 31-10. Playing tho same wide-open, diversified style as the varsity, the Cubs will field a large line, recruited mainly from out of state, operating in front of a powerful running corps directed by runner passer Jimmy Bell.

After such a ;uperb effort, a natural letdown to be expected. On the other hand, the Game ocks may be in just the position o take advantage of this letdown, f it comes. Winners over Wake Forest, 10-7, the Birds last week ok a 42-0 smashing from a Maded squad from LSU. This veek they should be in a good spot to rebound with a win if they -atch North Carolina while they're 'down." Interesting contrasts will be -vident on both the defensive and ffensive sides of the fence when he two teams really get down to business. Both in system of play md personnel, the two units pre ,eit paradoxes to the spectator. Offensively, neither team has (en (extremely successful in pushing the ball down the field. In total offense, North Carolina is sixth in the Conference, while he Gamecocks rank as the cellar eam in this department. How the wo elevens gained their yardage' liffer greatly, however. iln confererce statistics, the Tar Ileels rank a creditable fourth in rushing, gathering an average of 153t.o yards per outing. In the ainiSiig dlepart ment, however, the visitors show up as rather de ii(int. since their average output >f 50I yardls per game gives them a i fim hold on last place in this hial department. Reve'rsing field to deal with the Birds, an almost opposite situa tion shows up. Passing-wise, USC has made a creditable showing, putting forth 73% yards per game to rank in the Conference's top rive. Rushing, however, the Birds' lack of size and experience at the halfback posts has shown itself in the fact that the Gamecocks' prodluction in this department is rather anemic 104 yards per :on test. Stopping the opposition looms is one of North Carolina's strong Joints. They hold the second posi ion in Conference standings in otal defense, even though they are (down in the line in seventh pot in pass defense. A miserly ittitude towvard rushing has held the opposition to a bare gain of .1 yardls per game, considerably less than any other team in the ACC. Individual standouts on the two teams are very much alike in so(me respects. At the vital quar terback spots, Carolina puts up its p)assing pair of Jim Costen and D)ave Sowell against Ray Farris and Jlunior Edge of the visitors. T'he Gamecock group has shown itself to be the more efficient, at least in the passing department. At the running posts, the two Llevens can match almost mirror image one-two punches. Halfback G;ib Carson and fullback Bob Elliott of the Tarheels have amassed more yardage than the Gamecock duo of Billy Gambrell and Dick Day, but the Bird pair has the edge in average per carry. Guard Jim LeCompte, 220 poundl co-captain of the North Staters, is their top performer in the line and has been wrecking havoc in opposition line all sea son, Mobile Jim Moss, a swift 206 pounder for the Gamecocks at tackle, will be attracting much of the attention of the fans tomor row as the Birds top man up front
