sports.
"We have been in favor of this
rule ever since its conception,"
George Terry, assistant athletic
director, said recently.
"It's fine for an spring sports
and we voted for it all the way."

South Carolina remains atop the
ACC after play last weekend, al
though N. C. State and Clemson
have yet to drop a conference
game.
The Gamecocks took their sec
ond conference win Saturday by
stopping Duke, previously unde
feated in the ACC.
Clemson, 1-0 in conference ac
tion, suffered its first defeat
(Saturday) in two games. The
Tigers surged from a 17-3 deficit
at halftime to tie Georgia, but the
fourth-ranked Bulldogs added a
final touchdown to take the con
test, 24-17.
N. C. State, 1-0 in the ACC and
3-0 overall, downed Florida State,
20-10, in winning its third straight.
It was the second loss for FSU,
which turned in a surprise 37-37
tie with second-ranked Alabama
last week. That game, incidentally,
marked the highest score ever re
cordedl in a tiedl game among
major college teams.

Baseball Coach Jack Powers, an
other advocate of the rule, said he
planned to make use of it. He said
the positions that will afford the
freshmen best opportunities this
season would be on the mound and
in reserve spots.
"It will take an exceptional boy
to break into our starting lineup
as a freshman," Powers com
mented.
According to tennis Coach Bill
McLain, the rule should help the

"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

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.

By I)ON CAUGHMAN
Associate Editor
When Freddie Zeigler came to
Carolina he had no grant-in-aid,
but he wanted to play football.
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.

to win that one," Zeigler noted.
"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."
