As c Coed Sees But Footbv By SUE TANNER Staff Writer (Editor's Note: Although Sui is not quite the football mind thal Don Hult is, her coverage of thi Virginia game gives a good insighi into how little the f e m a I e sea thinks a b o u t football during c football game.) Saturday was another unique exciting football afternoon. The roar of the Greasepaint, the Smell of the Crowd was never more evident. It was glorious. Entrenching oneself in Howard Johnson's before making the grand effort required by the afternoon's game well fortified one for the remainder of the day. Time was limited, resulting in only a quick perusal of Poe's Bust (tried to make it to Pike's Peak-didn't-busted instead remains sent home to Char lottesville), the library, New comb Hall, and the other build ings before going on to Scott Stadium and the afternoon's contest. The pre-game show included last minute rehearsals of the band& who were combining for a half time salute which included a pro gram of King, Sousa, and Rom berg. The setting could not have beer lovelier. Autumn leaves were pro. fusely at the zenith of their tinted splendor. The near ca. pacity (26,500) crowd reveled ir the gaiety of the afternoon, well evidenced across field by the most obviously outstanding group, the KA's, who now transport them selves in style to the games a la Volkswagen.

Without a doubt it was Car lina's (lay. The final score, 49-2 attests to that, with no one on t west side being disappointed - the outcome. In the press bo things never got a chance to slo, down and the statistics speak fc themselves. Meanwhile, to the front, all wv activity; the cheerleaders nev< let up and the crowd constant] pressed on vicariously for t) team, behind the crowing concer of the mascot. Halftime was a riot of color as the 35 bands individually coalesced for a short time te give the impression of a 35-ring circus which was exactly whal it was. The theme of the day and the thread of the unite& tune combined to weave a spec, tacle of near kaleidoscopic di. mensions. The second halt was a continu, tion of the first, insofar as Vi ginia never had a chance, bi were sporting losers.

Post-game bustle, gathering information distribution to tf press, plans, and farewells wei ultimately formed into the cava cade which wound its way bac through the hills to whatev post-mortei was in keeping f( the evening.

After the Gamecocks' loss to Florida State, tile Carolina coach ing staff saw many things in the game film which both dismayed and encouraged them. They were heartened by the per formances of Bob Mauro, Tony Fusaro, Tom Suggs, and Benny 1,Galloway, which kept USC close to the potent Seminoles, but were discouraged by the breakdown in certain areas which allowed FSU to win. Hence in preparation for the Virginia game the coaches and the "B1 a c k Hats" emphasized that Carolina would have to "put it all together" with championship per forniances on both offense and de fense in order to defeat the fav ' ored Cavaliers. FLAT PASS The offensive coaches also took an encouraging aspect of the FSU game and installed it in their Vir ginia game plan. r FSU's linebackers were unable to stop the short passes in the flat e to Galloway. n No doubt the Cavalier scouts had p ick e d up that play, hu t Coaches Dick Weldon a n d Don Purvis disguised the "flat pass" by shifting the position of tailback Rudy Holloman. With this offensive subterfuge I and a pledge from the defense to hold up their end, the Gamecocks arrived in rustic Charlottesville on Friday morning. TOURING UVA Any visitor to UVA is certain t to stop at the awe-inspiring home of the University's founder: Mon ticello, the residence of Thomas Jefferson. t The Gamecocks' favorable im pressions of Charlottesville were somewhat dispelled that afternoon e1 when the team visited Scott Sta (dium. There were the ever-present w h i t e columns inspired by Jef k ferson. The turf on somle parts of the playing field wvas virtually non o-xistent, which meant the players would be taking a lot of h a rI d knocks from the ground as well as fiom opposing players. The Gamecocks were also aware, however, that a loss to Virginia wo)uldl prob'ably lead to a disas trous finish to the season. WI NNING MOMENTUM It would bte most difficult to gain a winning momentum against Wake or VPI without a win in Virginia. Why? To introduce the most elegant pen on campus.

Passes from the scrambling Sugg. to the elusive Zeigler moved th( 'Cocks right down the field. A 20-yard bull's-eye to Zeiglei put USC on the scoreboard for the first time. The "Wahoos" were also begin ning to gain yardage, but Caro lina's defense got the ball bacl fox the offense. Again passes to Zeigler moved Carolina to the Virginia 28. Frorr there, Holloman repeated a breath taking TD run he made in Caro. lina's spring game last May. TEAM VICTORY This was the play which exem )lified the team victory. Rudy's elusive moves had tacklers grasp. ing at air, but Holloman also fol lowed the key blocks of Eddie Bolton, Mauro, Suggs, Zeigler, and tackle Danny Dyches, who sprang Rudy loose at the five. The explosive Cavaliers struck back quickly as F r a n k Quayle took a short pass and zig-zagged 67 yards through the Gamecock secondary to s e t up Virginia's first score. The accurate passing of Gene Arnette set up UVA's second score. SUGCS' PASSES With less than two minutes re maining in the first half, Suggs calnily passed to Zeigler three times to give the Gamecocks the lead they never relinquished. Carolina still hadn't used the flat pass to Galloway but they re turned in the third quarter to put it to good use. As Suggs barked out his signals, lHolloman shifted to disguise the Gamecocks' intent. At the snap the paSS receivers on the left side ran deep and the backs moved left to rotate the defense to that side. After cutting three or four steps to the left, Galloway cut back to his right, a move which seemed to go unnoticed by the Cavalier defense. GALLOWAY Suggs then whirled to his right and hit Galloway with a quick throw. Theri was not a defender within 15 yards of the former Eas ley back as he sprinted 45 yards untouched into the end zone. Suggs called the s a m e play shortly thereafter. This time the defensive end )icked up Galloway, so Suggs motioned to him to move downfield andl threwv the ball over the defender's reach. IA p)owerful pass rush led by Rusty Ganas andl three intercep tions by Pat Watson, Benny Pad. gett, and Al Usher helped p)ut thi Ganmecocks out of reach.
