~M!(ATIff~ With less than two minutes left in last Saturday's gam with the University of North Carolina the score stood a zero to zero, but within a matter of seconds a Tarheel bac1 powered his way through the line and after being hit hard h fell forward for a Tarheel TD. Jim Hickey and his boys wen home to Chapel Hill with a 5-1 record, and Marvin Bass jus had to be satisfied with improved playing on the part of hi team, so the season goes on. Offensively the Gamecocks do not seem to have any punch. Marty Rosen is the only back who has run the ball with any effectiveness. Dan Reeves has passed the ball very well on occasion, but nobody seems to be able to catch it. The offensive blocking was much better against UNC than it has been at any other time in the season. This was shown in the first drive Carolina made after the opening kick-off. Defensively the Gamecocks don't have to take a backsea to anyone. They stopped the UNC running attack and it wa only the constant threat of Junior Edge's fine passing tha permitted the Tarheels to run at all. The pass defense wa better than it has been in past games. Bob Lacey did mak ten catches, but many of them were with a man hanging o: his back. If it is any consolation, the defensive secondar; did not permit Edge to throw the long bomb which he is st capable of doing. Some tribute must be given to Dan Reeves who played under very trying conditions last Saturday. Cer tainly Dan has not played up to his potential this year, but it has not been because he lacks desire or ability. Saturday both of Reeves' legs were taped from the ankle to above the knee. The question has been asked why should Reeves play if he is hurt. Coach Bass feels that as long as Dan Reeves is in the ball game then the op position must respect him. Tomorrow our opponent is the Green Wave of Tulane which thus far this season has not been able to win a bal game. In fact, Tulane has not won a game since the fall o: 1961. Their record over the past two years is 0-17. This ie no indication of their ability. Thus far this season Tulane has played Georgia Tech, Alabama, Auburn, Miami, Ole Miss and Missis sippi State. Their opponents have compiled a record of 25 wins, six losses and two ties. The only team which has defeated thenm soundly was Alabama. In every other game mistakes have played a big part in their defeat. Defensively the Green Wave is extremely tough. It toolc Georgia Tech five plays (two penalties included) to score from the eleven-yard line last week. Another time Tech had the football on the four-yard line with a first down, but the3 ended up kicking a field goal. It is hard for any team to consider themselves as a breather on another team's schedule, but if you look over Tulane's schedule you cannot help but feel that we might have to place ourselves in that category. No team likes to lose. Saturday two losers will meet head on in Carolina Stadium. The Gamecocks haven't managed a victory since the second game of the season, and Tulane doesn't even know what the word win means. TOMORROW THE GAMECOCKS HAVE A REAT BATT1LE ON THEIR HANDS.

The men inside, that is, the scarred interior line men, occupied themselves with mauling each other, much to the chagrin of the ball-carriers who were generally stopped without much ado in the fracas. Perhaps a look at the passing f statistics will explain the differ ence in the score. NC gained 168 yards in the air as Edge hit on ts 15 out of 27 passes while the sta c- Birds gained only 19 yards via the the e. arm of Dan Reeves who com- fr h, pleted four out of 15. On the tie w ground the Gamecocks were only of d 41 yards behind as they rushed Fr for 102 yards while the Tarheels ie ground out 143. kic ie Most of the Gamecocks looked lef ie on the defeat as a moral victory, en ie several saying that this was the th( e. first time that they had played - to together all the way. They further ig said that if they continue to play h this way they would win a few id ball games yet this season. The dI- law of averages must catch up ri- with the Gamecocks and allow r- them to present Coach Bass with his second victory of the season.
