~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. TULANE NEEDS A VIC
TORY, BUT SO DO THE GAMECOCKS. THE TEAM WILl
NEED YOUR SUPPORT MORE THAN EVER FOR TO.

st POPPING
ks The remainder of the game was
er taken up by the strange phenome
9 non known to football coaches as
a "leather-popping." 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.

- a grade of 73 per cent and was
in on nine tackles, three un

honors.
The coaching staff also
singled out right halfback Larry

his career, and as usual had
praise for the performances of
left halfback Marty Rosen and
fulll'ack Pete DiVenere.
Rosc-n led the Gamecock rush

Saturday's 7-0 loss to Nort

Gibson, 6-4%, 239-pound ci
captain from Greenville, S. C
was designated "Cock of tl

defensive player in the Gami
cock homecoming game. He ri
ceived a grade of 80 per cer

high for an interior linemai
and made t h r e e unassiste
tackles plus two assists.
Legat, a previous choice a
Cock of the Walk after th
Duke game, is the first interic
lineman to be chosen as th
Gamecocks' top offensive playe:
an honor usually bestowed on
back or an end.
"Legat's blocking was oui
