New Look For USC Scoreboard Men and women of CAROLINA! The scoreboard in Carolina Stadium now reads Carolina-not S. Carolina. "There is no reason why we should have to identify ourselves in our own stadium" said USC Coach Paul Dietzel. The idea to change the sign came to Dietzel (luring a coaching clinic held at the stadium this past spring. "I asked Ralph Floyd (athletic department b u s i n e s s manager) what was wrong with the score board," said Dietzel. Following through on the com ment Floyd had the sign changed prior to last Saturday's game. In the past, "Carolina" often re ferred to UNC. The identification battle has been carried into the l meetings of Atlantic Coast Confer ence officials. Dietzel makes it a point to speak up whenever some one calls for an opinion from the "Carolina" representative. "Now they say North Carolina and South Carolina," said Dietzel. The name changing isn't the only change scheduled for the scoreboard. Plans are in the mill now for one of the new style Gamecocks to be installed atop each of the scoreboards. The birds will be about 15 feet high. Gobble Named Of Game Capt Calling the toss of the coin for USC against the Tar Heels to morrow will be Jimmy Gobble.

The grass is cut two or three times a week depend ing upon the weather. For the games the grass is one and one quarter inches in height. Painting the field takes six men two days to complete. The garnet and black end zone markings are sprayed on with a spray gun that sprays a five-inch wide strip. Sixty gallons of garnet paint and 75 gallons of black paint are used each game. The boundaries, yard lines and hash marks are sprayed on with a machine borrowed from the South Carolina Highway Department. It is normally used to spray lines on streets. The white field markings and the letters "USC" in the end zones require 25 gallons of white paint.

Sports Editor Before the beginning of the 196's football season, USC Coach Paul Dietzel said that he would not trade his backfield for any in the conference; and a big reason for this was the play of halfback Ben Garnto. Garnto came to Carolina from Jordan High School in Columbus, Georgia, where he was coached by Bob Donaldson. He began playing football as a junior in high school and received all-regional honors in his senior year. The hard running USC halfback was also chosen to participate in the Georgia all-star game. " Besides being a two-year letter man in football at Jordan, Garnto also lettered two years in basket ball and baseball. Garnto entered Carolina in the fall of 1964, where he was a stand out on the freshman squad. Dur ing his sophomore year he was en gaged in what he calls his most unforgettable incident in football. "We were playing N. C. State (luring the 1965 season," stated e Garnto, "and I was not playing regularly. During the third quar v ter. of the game, with the score USC 3, N. C.

We won the game by a score of 13-7." When asked about the differ ences he noticed in the team when the Dietzel era began last year, Garnto had this to say: "About BEN CARNTO Look to for I TRADITIONA (Solids, StriF SPECIAL Short Sleeve Shirts 3 For $9.50 *s *I.N, /00 * * Mayo trong ina ion he biggest difference in the team ifter Coach Dietzel took over was hat everybody seemed to get their ,opes up more and began to hustle nore. However, it was hard get .ing used to a new system. "The biggest difference in this year's team as compared to last year's squad is that the players ire more accustomed to the new tystem and the coaches are more iccustomed to the players," con tinued Garnto. During pre-season drills, the Gamecocks lost one of their es teemed backfield members, Ben Galloway, to a knee operation. Garnto does not think, however, that Galloway's loss will cause him any added pressures. "Of course we will miss Ben, but Butch (Reeves) and W a r r e n (Muir) are both running real well," commented the Gamecock halfback, "therefore, I don't think the other teams will be concen trating on me." The 5-10, 195-pound halfback is a marketing major at Carolina, but his future plans are to play professional football if the oppor tunity presents itself.
