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.
The Biddies started the scoring
when, with five minutes and 49
seconds remaining in the first
quarter, quarterback Mike Fair
rolled out around left end from
10 yards out for the touchdown.

Better Game
"After studying game films the
coaches discovered that we ac
tually played a better game than
indicated from the sidelines. 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.

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.

happens to be this reporter's m
next door neighbor from Green- s

spectators don't want to under
stand some of the decisions that ti
go against their team." f
Concerning many a close play t]
that occurs at the goal line, a
such as the one mentioned
a b o v e , Lindsay emphasized, e
"Many fans don't even know p
what a touchdown is. People o
think that a runner has to get
his body into the end zone, but
this is not so. A touchdown is c
scored when the ball penetrates fi
the vertical plane of the goal t]
line. It's comparable to break
ing a window pane with the
nose of the ball." a
Lindsay has been the number h

the last four seasons by virtue n
of a rating system used by the c

didn't even know the basic rules
of the game.
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.
On the way back to the house
that nigh: I thought about all
the Carolina fans who will con
sistently boo the offic'ials at
the games this year. And the
ones that boo the loudest wil)
probably be the ones that

The Bulldogs, as always, have
excellent kickers. 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.

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
