Gambrell Gets 3rd Team All-America BY FRED SCHUMPERT Billy Ganbrell, Carolina's "do everything" halfback, has just beer selected to the ALL-AMERICA THIRD TEAM by the American Foot ball Coaches Association. He has also been named to the All-ACC team for the second year in a row. At the end of the 1962 football season this explosive and elusiv( halfback has concluded one of the most successful college football careers that the University of South Carolina has ever experienced In fact, some of the coaches and people who have been working wit1 the University several years claim that Billy is the greatest back whc has ever played at Carolina. During his three-year tenure at Carolina, Billy has given to the spectators a brand of football that will be inherent for many years. At only 173 pounds, this boy, appropriately named "Bouncing Billy,' has called on just about every trick in the book to get a few extra yards . . . Billy takes the pitchout around right end, cuts back and eludes a tackler, two more hit him and he spins to the inside and keeps going, the safety man comes up to meet the squirmming runner, but Gambrell nods his head, fakes left, and then cuts right - he's ovei for the TD. This is a typical Gambrell run, but the play that truly placated the viewers and gave Billy widespread recognition was wher Carolina was in need of a few yards for a first down or TD. Gambrell was tapped for the job; taking the hand off from his quarterback, up and over the forward wall of tacklers he would go, sometimes leaping four or five feet into the air and then landing some three or four yards down field. Billy finished out his college career with a total rushing mark of 1,066 yards. He collected 157 yards as a sophomore, 327 as a junior and 582 this year. At the close of his senior year, he leads his team in rushing, pass receiving (226 yards), kickoff returns (421 yards), interception returns (32 yards), and is tied with his "side-kick" Dan Reeves in scoring (50). Comparing him with players of the past, Billy has tied the all-time Carolina record of the most touchdowns scored in a season (eight, set by Earl Clary in 1931, and repeated by Steve Wadiak in '51 and Phil Lavoie in '59).

He has been invited to play in the annual East-West and the Senior Bowl games during the holidays. There will be numerous professional scouts at these games. If Billy per ;orms in these contests like he did during his college days, he may find himself signing more than just the usual autograph books that are extended to him after a game.

A jittery Carolina team had to surrender the ball after their first 'series of plays. Jack McCathern punted and the ball came down at the USC 39 where it touched a USC player. An alert Ted Bun ton picked up the ball and ran all the way to the 'Cocks' 16 where he was tackled by McCathern Clemson then rolled in for the score on four plays, the last four yards being navigated by the Tigers' big fullback, Charlie Du inas. Carolina tied the score on a 45 yard pass play from Dan Reeves to a wide-open Sammy Anderson. The exchange of scores con tinued. Clemson took the ensuing kickoff and reeled off large chunks of yardage from their 28 to the Carolina nine. Tommy Pil cher then deflected a Tiger pass in the end zone and Clemson went for the three-pointer and made it good on the right foot of Rodney Rogers. The Birds took the ball down to the other end of the field. Dan Reeves fell short of a first down on the Clemson 19; Dean Findley then knotted the score with a field goal. USC added another score later in the half to give Carolina a lead over Clemson for the first and only ime in the long game.

At the weekly press luncheon Coach Noe outlined the general bl pattern which he had been follow- L Ang for the past two and a half li months in order to prepare his . team for their season opener with 3rskine College this Saturday. He hi referred to his offensive pattern wi is one of "control." "This is the 'a :nly way we can give our kids a b< -hance at all," he replied. he The starting lineup for the Gamecocks in their game against c Erskine tomorrow night at the H /ield House is: th John Gorsage, 6-5, 200 lbs., te Center th ti( wi By Tigers ar se in in nine plays. "Deacon Dan" cap- g( )ed the drive by going over on a ca ollout from six yards out and w 'arolina led at halftime, 17-10. The Birds added another score S< it the beginning of the 2nd half le ifter recovering a fumble on the N ickoff. Reeves threw to Caskey yi or the tally but the play was ,alled back and the Birds had to w elinquish the ball. pI Thus started an unhappy second -' ialf in which Carolina could only C( nake 33 yards on total offense. bi Clemson tied the game up with 'r .hree and a half minutes left in P1 .he third period as Elmo Lam took the ball on a pitchout from Jim ' Parker and went in from 15 yards n< ,2ut. This play was the key to A lemson's victory Saturday. d< The Tigers were unstoppable on w -heir drive for the winning points 'a .vhich began midway in the fourth 'n quarter. Jeff Denberg of the State -< described it-"there was as much 'i resistance as you'd expect from a r willing, but unarmed man trying , to stop a runaway tank." h Rodney Rogers kicked the win- -a ning points with only 1:42 re- ' ,naning and it was "wait 'til next r year" for Gamecock fans.
