"As for the fumbles, everybody has them. When they come ir bunches like they did against Maryland, it can sometimes be due to overcautiousness. When somebody drops one, immediately everyone becomes cautious, and this can result in others to follow, The only thing to do in such a case is to write them off as passed, forget them entirely, and start Baby Ban] Season Wi The USC Biddies, directed by quarterbacks Smokey Webb, Mike Fair, and Ben Garnto, unleashed a devastating ground attack as they smashed Gordon Military Vllege 49-14. Carolina racked up 359 yards on the ground plus two sensational touchdown runs by Benny Gallo way and Bob Harris. Galloway took the second half kickoff and streaked up the center for 93 yards. Harris grabbed a third quarter Gordon punt at the 11 yard line and sprinted 89 yards for the score behind expert pattern blocking downfield.

Our blocking showed up well; our tac kling was not as sharp, however, as in the Duke game. The one glar ing mistake that lost the game for us was there for everybody to see without the aid of films-fum bles." "It not only stopped our drives but gave them the lift they needed to come back against us. We started out making their forte their defense-look real bad by driving on them so well, but the fumbles enabled them to come back." Coach Hamrick, who scouted Georgia in their 7-0 victory over Vanderbilt last week, claims the Bulldogs regrouped personnel somewhat after their opening 31-3 loss to Alabama. They have since placed more emphasis on speed in the defensive unit, after noting that sophomores on defense seemed to help Georgia in beating Vandy. ams Open Ith A Bang tra point conversions in five at tempts, kicked the PAT and Caro lina was never to be headed. Six minutes later first unit quarterback Smokey Webb brought in the second Carolina TD irom three yards out. Poole again converte: and the Biddies led 14-0.

T KERS OF OLD SPICE | k Rev iLi DAN RE] ACC Off BY TOM HUNTER Sports Writer Just for a moment, let's pre tend tomorrow's game with Georgia has started and the visiting Bulldogs have posses sion of the football early in the game only thrPe yards from the USC goal line. It's fourth down. You're standing up clenching your f i s t s like everybody else, screaming "Hold 'em Game cocks, hold 'em." The ball is snapped and Port erfield, Georgia's ace halfback, leaps into the Carolina line but is caught in mid-air, clearly short of the goal. In despera tion, the ball carrier extends his arms from the top of the pile and manages to nudge the point of the ball across the line. USC has stymied another 'Georgia drive . . . but wait. The officials are indicating a touchdown. Then, if you are the average tan, you resort to profanity. You boo. You show your ignor ance. You and every other howling sp)ectator have shown that you do not know what a touchdown Is.

Wrong Category lie must have found what he was looking for because swme thing spurred him to come out with a short quiz that would categorize me in a hurv. "A forward pass receiver jumps up in the end zone and catenes the hall." the rule en iorcer started. "The defender knocks him out of bounds he fore the receiver can come back down in bounds. Touchdown ?" "Yes, because . . ." I began. "No," he ended. "Because he did not come down inside the playing field." "The receiver," he started again. "jumps up and pulls the ball in and as he comes town, his back brushes up against he goal posts. Touchdown?" "Well, yes," I guessed again. "No." he blared. "Because the goal posts are considered out of bounds, thus making the re ceiver out also." I realized then how little I did know about the rules of football.

The punter, Mack Faircloth, is among the tops in the nation with a 43.4 yard average. His kicking was instru mental in keeping favored Vander bilt in the hole, and versus Ala bama he received credit for a sev enty yarder. Georgia will show a complete new coaching staff under Vince Dooley as a result of the Wally Butts - Bear Bryant - Saturday Evening Post affair of last season. However, it will not alter their style of play as the game upcom ing promises to be of the typical rockem-so-kem, hard-nosed foot ball with which Georgia has be come synonymous in the past. untry He trained extensively as a high ischool senior in 1960 with Herb Elliott ,the one-time mile record holder. Rose called training with Elliott, winner of the '60 Olympic games, 1500 meter run, one of his most inspiring experiences. In 1960 Alan came to the United States to throw in with the USC Gamecocks under head track coach Weems 0. Baskin,. Jr.. and has competed successfully for us since then. Track Smith Kenneth Smith is also 22 years old. He is the track team's most consistent two-miler during the spring season, and has been com peting with our cross-country team since his freshman year. Ken% is quite different is physi cal appearance than the blonde headed, slightly built Australian. He is much taller and is darker in complexion than Alan. lie is from Mancheste,. Connecticut where he ran the half mile. His best times at USC are 4:22 lor the mile, a 9:56 for the two mile, and a 1:58 in the half-mile. Kenneth and Alan use the sti eets of Columbia for their train ing grounds, and regardless of the weather one can see these two dis tance runners filling their training schedule with mile after mile around the city.
