Game In Se Carolina To Start 10 Sophs W h e n Paul Dietzel fields hi young Gamecocks tomorrow nigh he'll have seven sophomores on h starting defensive unit. Earlier in .the season, Dietz had said that for every soph ye a t a r t, give the opposition si points. Going by this theory, the Cava. lers will have a 60 point advan. tage before the Gamecocks take the field. Dietzel will be going with t} same starting unit which nearl upset Florida State last week. When he looks across the fiel up in Virginia, the USC mento will be seeing an old friend i Coach Blackburn. Dietzel was playing b all at Miami when Blackburn was an assistant coach there. Since that time they have coached together at a number of universities. "Blackie is a very good frien and our families are very close, said Dietzel. "But last year Virginia didn' leave town in the best frame o mind. It was a goofy game an we came out on top 24-23 afte being shut out in the first half, said Dietzel. The Carolina coach said that he doesn't like to single out outstand ing individuals in a loss, because a losn is everybody's loss. But he did praise the quarter backing of Tommy Suggs, the run ning of Benny Galloway, and Bo Mauro. Mauro, converted to the cente position this year, graded a fan tastic 98 percent in his gam against Florida State. For his efforts he was named the ACC Lineman of the Week. At his weekly press conferenc Tuesday, Dietzel also q u i p p e about Fred Zeigler. "He's a lot better football play er than we thought he was. A Maryland he was the only on who had sure' footing. He mus wear a size 16 shoe." Biddies Try For. Five South Carolina's unbeaten and untied frosh will try to keep their slate clean in tonight's wrap-up game at Furman. Coach Pride Ratterree's t e a in demolished Wake Forest 35-3 last week to run their record to 4.0. If the Biddies win tonight it will he the second unbeaten frosh squad in two years.

At this time N. C. State is at the top of the conference and they meet Clemson, the number two team, in Raleigh tomorrow. The Cavalien have only one loss in the ACC but a victory by the Gamecocks w o u I d virtually knock them out of contention. If State can stop Clemson, they will have the title almost wrapped up. Virginia's statistics look over powering. They have gained 2,486 yards in total offense, over 420 yards per game. ir The Cavaliers h a v e outscored their opposition 168 points to 97. This statistic is even more potent when the fact that they lost their first contest to Purdue, 44-6, isl added. Virginia mentor George Black burn has built his potent offensive machine around the rushing of Frank Quayle and Jeff Anderson. These two big backs have aver aged 200 yards per game by them selves, scoring ten TD's on the k ground. e Quayle also leads the Cavaliers in pass receiving with 18 for 233 yards. The Virginia back also scored on one of t h o s e Gene Arnette passes. Arnette has completed nearly 50 f percent of his tosses for 588 yards 1 and eight scores. The Virginia quarterback will be returning to his home town of Charlottesville after three games on the road. Carolina coach Jackie Powers, who scouted the Cavaliers, said at Coach Paul Dietzel's press confer ence Tuesday that the entire team is anchored by seniors. Senior tackles Paul Rogers and Gregg Shelly give experience to the front offensive line that blocks for Arnette and his running backs. On de fe n se, linebacker Bob Paczkoski, another senior, a n d Peter Schmidt, a junior who has had six interceptions in as many games, will be leading the Cava liers against the Gamecock. Virginia is a team that likes to use the blitz and Tommy Suggs - may well have to resort to his scrambling tactics. 0 n e consolation for Carolina fans is the Cavalier kicking game. They have not made a field goal all year, and are only six for 14 in the PAT dlepartment. a Scran )EN patterns Some less given extr rue is Tom- into the ope. on numerous zel sqummed the touchdown >ack Suggs' While Sugg rida State game, he p)rov scrambling adl e vogue of While dloins a to invent aroutnd Suggs >tball situa- or help break ing recordls. w providecd The 1,052 *or thought by bo0th teams Iage." an ACC mark me, Florida The 11 recep~ ng the top loway broke tI ass defense. held by J. 1U. 0 penetrate Zeigler. st at will.

At the beginning of the season, Paul Dietzel had visions )f a healthy Galloway and a potent Warren Muir in the ;ame backfield. Unfortunately it didn't quite work that way. Benny was iobbling around on a bad ankle as the season opened and ie banged it up in the UNC game. When he started coming around, two knees of a defensive )layer in the back of Warren Muir put the best inside unner in the country out of action. Now it looks like Warren will be seeing limited duty in ;omorrow's game with Virginia. It has been a month since he has been in action, and it vill be some time yet before he is himself. Warren's month away from the team has been lonely it times. It has been my pleasure to know him and his vife Patty. Patty has always been one of Warren's biggest boosters tnd a Gamecock Sports Staffer, Jo Bland, talked with her tnd had the following comments: When the mechanisms of a great athlete are dam aged, who is his behind-the-scenes support? Who re places his fans in cheering him on to a fast recovery? In Warren Muir's case, it has been his high school sweet heart and wife, Patty Muir. Warren suffered a back injury in the USC-Georgia game, and his present activities consist of jogging around the practice field with a "touch-me-not" red cross attached to his jersey. Patty has done a tremendous job in moral and physical support. She put on his shoes and socks for him and went about her activities with a cheerful attitude that is unsuppressed even when she speaks to strangers. Asked how she felt confined to the stands with Warren, Patty knowing how badly Warren wants to play, summed it up in one word, "miserable." There is no assurance that te Massachusetts junior will compete against the Cavaliers Saturday; but you can be sure that he and Patty will be present, experi encing inwardly the struggle for victory taking place on the field. T a Staff Phot. by warres Hudwes The Muir Family Patty, Jeffrey Allen and Warren Muir pose for a pie ture. Muir will probably see limited action in tomorrow's game.
