Dietze As G( BY JOHN DAVID SPADE Sports Editor "Georgia is the kind of team that defensively likes to maul you," said USC Coach Paul Dietzel in speak ing of the Gamecocks' Saturday night opponent. Offensively, according to Dietzel and assistant coach Johnny Men ger, the Bulldogs have always liked to "run the ball down your throat." This year, though, Georgia has added a potent passing attack to a4d to their deadly running game.

USC, with five of the 15 players 4 (no substitutes allowed) being in n troduced to the game only a week earlier, came from behind three times to finally put d9wn the Clem son team which, by the way, had five English students playing for them. The Gamecocks played with 15 Americans, thirteen of which, as of last spring, had never played, or as in some cases, had never heard of the game of rugby. Clemson opened up the scoring midway the first half, but USC quickly tied the score as Mark Katz bolted into the end zone dragging three Clemson players with him. Both extra points, worth two points each, were good and so at c the halftime, the score was tied e at five apiece. e Early in the secondl half, Clen. e son scored its second try (a try is eqjuiv-alent to a touchdown in Amer iran football, but worth only thri e points). Again the G;amecocks came b ack with a try scoredl on a fine run by Norman Lack, playing in his first game. Biecause ofan obstruction penal kick at the goal. Steve .\illlot and Sandy Frazier added-i two morie try-s for the Game 1" cocks, with Johin G reenaway kick e ing two more r-xt ra points. The Tigers came back late in X the fmnal minutes with another try, ebut missed the conversion andl the final score was 20-16. y ISunday, USC will meet Clemson 4 a g a i n on the local intr-amur-al y fields. e Kic-koff time will be 2 :30, and admnission is free. ye Grant Rtoverbi-ack WVally (OIrrel andl Ii n backer Dave ( Mudcat ) Gran.t will serve as captains w'hen the Ganm' (cocks mei(et G;eorgi a Sa Jrday nig.ht in Carolina Stadium.

The Bulldogs' kicking g a m e has been termed " superior" by Dietzel.

McCuiloug?x scored 5 points by way of the toe last yea: Jake Scott will try to go all th way with kick returns against th Gamecocks. He did just that fo 80 yards against Tennessee. Georgia may well try to go fo the long bomb at the beginninj of the game to shake up the Game cocks. They will rely on their pas rush to thwart USC attempts t do the same. Dietzel will be relying heavily on sophomores to stop the Bulldog attack, and also to generate his offenlse. Soph Tyler Iellans, who blocked two kicks againist Duke, will be joining Pat W a I s o n, Roy Don Reeves and Wally Orrel in the de fensive secondarv. Al Usher, another sophomor< has made 27 tackles in two game and will be starting at linebacke with Dave Grant.
