"Maryland and North Carolina both gained several good boys and would seem to have benefited most from the rule. We do have three or four boys, including Bill Austin, who should help our team," he stated. Weems Baskin, track coach, added that he plans to use any and all freshmen who qualify for events. As for the swimming team, Jack Thompson added his support of the new rule. He also pointed out a hitch in the rule which might make him hold back a boy with outstanding ability. He said that if freshmen participate in varsity sports, they can only participate in NCAA championships two years instead of the usual three. Garnto Named USC Captain For Saturday Georgia native Ben Garnto will lead the USC forces against his home state foe tomorrow in Athens. Garnto moved from his usual right halfback slot to his present left halfback position upon the in jury of USC's other "B. G. boy," Bennie Galloway, in pre-season practice. Position changes are nothing new for Garnto as he saw duty at three positions last season. His efforts at quarterback and at both halfback positions earned him the honor of "Most Valuable Player" for the 1966 Gamecocks. Garnto was second leading Gamecock rusher in 1966 with 440 yards and a 4.4 yards per carry average. In addition he was Mike Fair's primary receiver, hauling in 19 passes for 242 yards. Last Saturday Garnto added an other item to his bag of tricks. In the second half, regular kick re turn man Toy McCord was shaken up and unable to play. Garnto was pressed into service and picked his way through the Duke squad for a 52-yard kick-off return. A native of Columbus, Ga., Garnto is a senior majoring in business administration.

The next two years weren't ex actly glory-filled. He spent his freshman year on the sidelines with a broken arm and the next' year as a member of the red shirt team. In last year's spring game he made a good showing. In pre season drills he looked good. Now he has a grant-in-aid-and the starting split end spot to go along with it. "It's been great so far," Zeigler said, enthusiastically. "The whole team has the right attitude. We've found out what winning is like and everyhody loves it." The Gamecocks came from be hind Saturday after Zeigler snared a Mike Fair pass (his fourth of the (lay) at the three-yard line in the last minute of play to set up the winning touchdown in their 21-17 victory over Duke.

"I)uke has a real fine football team-the best we've played. And their tremendous size didn't help matters any. "It really helped to have all those people in the stands yelling for us." he added. "And we sure do appreciate all those people meeting us when we got back to Columbia. It makes winning that much better." The Reevesville, S. C. native won the starting split end job in fall drills after halfback Benny Galloway was lost for the season with a knee injury. Butch Reeves, with whom Zeigler had been alter nating, took over Galloway's half back position and Zeigler had the end spot all to himself. In three games, he has caught 1.1 passes for 147 yards. Teaming with Galloway next year will be this year's outstand ing sophomore fullback Warren Muir. "That boy is going to he an All-American some (lay," said Zeigler. "He's a fantastic runner." Zeigler was quick to show his admiration for Paul Dietzei, his coach and the man he feels is "bringing w i n n i n g football to Carolina. He's a fine man and he really knows football. He's got the whole athletic program here headed in the right direction."
