by FBRED SCHUMPERT The Carolina "Gamecocks" open their 1962 football sea son tomorrow with a series of tests when they take on the "Wildcats" of Northwestern. This will mark the first time since 1928 that the Gamecocks have ventured into the Big Ten Conference; this will be the first occasion for Coach Bass to try his skill with a three-unit attack; and it will be a test for several individual players who have been rated highly in pre-season publications. Saying that this game will be a test for the Gamecocks playing in a conference much larger than the ACC-can also be said about Northwestern-this will be the first time they have competed against a smaller team in the ACC. Playing such perennial powers as Ohio State, Michigan State, Miami, and Minnesota, the Wildcats may feel that the game with "little ole Carolina" will just be another game. In fact, in several pre-game reports they have gone into no more detail than to mention that they opened their season with the Gamecocks. It is no widespread secret that the Big Ten Conference has placed several teams in the major bowl games through the years. In outside competition, they have a won-lost record of 19-2, which is a goal that even the Southeastern Conference could work towards. Asked how they felt about playing a team in the Big Ten, these players remarked: KEN LESTER-"I don't feel like they're any better than us. We've prepared for them just like we always do for the Duke game." CHARLEY WILLIAMS-"It's going to be just another game. They had to change their offense; last year they averaged only eight points per game. It's going to be a hard-fought game, both offensively and defensively because both teams have been well coached." DAN REEVES-"No tougher than the Southeastern or Atlantic Coast Conference." Much has been said about the newly inaugurated "War horse," "Bushwhacker," and "Stonewall" teams that have been formed by Coach Bass. Paul Dietzel used the system very efficiently while coach at LSU, and he has instituted the same type of program at Army. Clemson has used the alternating units for several years, and nearly every team in the country has switched, or has plans to adopt this football technique. Carolina uses essentially the same pro cedure with the three teams. The "Warhorses" are the two way team, "Bushwhackers" the "Go" team, or offensive unit, and "Stonewalls" the defensive masters. Having these so-called offensive and defensive special ists does not necessarily mean that the Stonewalls will immediately take the field, everytime the opponent gains a foot or two, or the Bushwhackers taking over when we're in need of a few yards. In fact, the Stonewalls may prove to be a better offensive team than the Bushwhackers, or vise versa. The main purpose in playing three teams is that it gives depth to the entire football squad; it also gives each player a feeling of importance by belonging to a team which is considered to be a specialized unit. On the Northwestern side, Jack Cvercko is considered the top candidate for '62 honors. Playing from his guard position he has been chosen by many sports writers for All America. Halfback Billy Gambrell and tackle Jim Moss are the two Gamecocks that are candidates for All-America. Gambrell led his team in scoring last year with 32 points, had a 4.4 rushing average, the leading pass receiver, and was on the All-ACC and All-State teams. Moss was Na tional Lineman of the Week, All-ACC, winner of the 1961 South Carolina Jacobs Blocking Trophy, and was unanimous pick for the All-State team. If the Gamecocks don't get over anxious, or excited, about the Northwestern game, the three teams perform as scheduled, and these talented players live up to their potential, this should not only present the opportunity for a great victory, but it should also mark the opening of an en couraging year in football for Carolina. Runners For Track & Cross Country Called Coach Baskin has announced____________ that anyone interested in trying for the cross country team or the ~ track team is encouraged to con tact either him or Benji Seagle at 'If!f the Round House.1// c mo N Last years team lacked depth, but with the help of several sopho Imores and returning lettermen, the squad will be stronger.

Carolina's Frosh won e contest that proved again everything. Statistically, th, ing lead in everything froi visitors took advantage of in twice for scores. The Biddies led in first downs, 21-8, rushing yardage, 320 to 126, and passing yardage, 104 to 27, but the combination of having two passes intercepted, losing two fumbles, and pick ing up 115 yards via the penalty route, all served to slow the "rookie Rooster" express to a halt when it neared touchdown territory. Also instrumental in the un orthodox conquest by the Geor gia team was the fact that on seven punts, they averaged a sterling 47.6 yards per kick and fielded the toughest clutch de fense north of the Chinese Bandits. Carolina dominated, at least in offensive plays run, the first quarter, grinding out consistant yardage with both units between the twenty-yard lines, but never able to generate a real threat. Halfbacks Jeff Jowers and Ron nie Lamb and fullbacks Gene Williams, Anton Pawlowski, and Jule Smith were able to move the ball w i t h consistance but errors and penalties hampered their efforts. Mid-way in the second period, however, the Bulldogs used a short Biddie punt to gain good field position and drove to their only score of the period. Using their lighter, faster line to ad vantage, they "quick pitched" their way inside the ten, then plowed up the middle for the score. Down 7-0 at the intermission, the USC first year men roared back on the running of Jowers, Williams and Lamb, getting as close as the two yard line late in the third quarter after a spectacular spurt by Jowers. Getting key blocks from the right side of the freshman line, Jowers swept the end and raced through the secondary for 53 yards before being trapped on the ten. Shortly after this how ever, a fullback plunge turned into a fumble and the best Bird bid went down the drain. In the final period, Gordon again hit the touchdown trail, hacking their way for 54 yards on a steady march. Halfback Hardy King, one-third of the Bulldogs "sprint b)ack" trio, smacked the line from one yard out to score, and quarterback Don Bright, who scored the first touchdown, converted success fully for the second time.
