Cocks ACC By SCOf DERKS Sports Editor "This is your pilot speaKing, we are nearing Columbia, home of the ACC champions," Coach Paul Dietzel said. ACC Champions. The words rolled around on everyone's tongues. It felt good. For Dietzel it was the reward for four years work at USC and the goal of the University for the past 75 years.

This sure takes the pressure off. Now we can get read3 to come back next week. We will x playing for the state title then. I'm just grateful to a great bunch of kids." Even the flip of the coin at midfield was an omen of things to come. Wake Forest won thg toss but decided to kickoff to the Gamecocks, favoring the choice of field position.

Numb hands were common for both teams, but fumbles seemed a part of the Deacon offense, especially deep in Gamecock territory. One of the most agressive defenders was Benny Padgett, who repeatedly made tackles at th( important times. '" just felt gooo for the first time this year," Padgett said. "My knee felt better. Bill Duffle felt goed because Saturday marked his twenty-first birthday. "I can't think any place I'd rather be than with you guys on my 21st birthday, Duffle said sarcasticaly. After the game was over he meant it. "We made some breaks and took advantage of them," Dietzel said. "We were about as high for our game last week with Tennessee as a team can get. We were just determined today. They made ur their mind to do it." Warren Muir took the first play from scrimmage for six yards and a new rushing record. The senior needed only three yards to take the second place position among Gamecock rushers. The top spot is held by Steve Madiak (1947-50) who had the advantage of playing four varsity years for his 2,878 yard record. The spread offense, introduced last week against a surprised Tennessee was again employed by the Gamecocks against Wake with obvious success. "The boys like the Carolina spread," Dietzel said. "It has lots of possibilities. You'll be seeing it other places, I've had several coaches call for the par ticulars." Deitzel liked the sound of ACC champions and used it frequently, but also noted that "this is the first time South Carolina has beaten all four North Carolina schools. I'm really quite proud of that. "Some people may say that winning the Atlantic Coast Con ference isn't too big because the ACC has been having its troubles in football. But I contend the title is very big, for us bec3use its a beginning." Candler Boyd, who picked off a Larry Russell pass, said "It doesn't feel like we've won it yet, (ACC Title) we haven't played the final game." an aua1ify ing's New eed? new officer is 26.

To win the title and lose the Clemson game would take the cake Phi Delts se second char By TEDDY HEFFNER Sports Writer Defending Super Bowl champs Phi Delta Theta moved a step closer to repeating last years triumph with a 19-18 hard-earned win over Phi Kappa Sigma in the playoff semifinals. As has been the case all season, the Phi Delts cashed in on their tremendous passing game, scoring n the final 40 seconds on a 39 yard bomb from quarterback Marian Reed to his favorite receiver, Sonny Parker. The Phi Delts opened the scoring on another long TD pass from Reed to Pat Crowley. The play covered 60 yards. Phi Kappa Sigma then tallied its first score on a 13 yard pass in terception return by Boyd. Reed hit Parker with the big ends first touchdown pass of the game on another long toss of 35 yards to gun the Phi Delts into the lead 13-6. The lead was short-lived as the Phi Kaps halfback Tommy Player swept end for a 17 yard scoring jaunt and Weldon Bonds scored from 15 yards away to give the Phi Kaps a 18-13 margin. Reed rallied the Phi Delts to their sixth win with his third scoring pass of the day to Parker to climax a good, hard fought game. SIGMA NU UPSETS PI KAPPA ALPHA Lytle Pressley threw a four yarc pass to Howell for a game-tying score and then Howel ran for the deciding PAT as the underdog Sigma Nu's upset favorite Pi Kappa Alpha 13-12. The game was fought on even terms throughout with the PiKa's inability to make a point after and remove the icing. We can't let that happen. "It'll be a different Clemson team we meet next week. "We're going to have to bet our feet back on the ground, but ACC champions, that sounds nice doesn't it." ek Lpionship touchdown try the difference in the battle. PiKa drew first blood on a 10 yard pass from Burke Hayes to end A.D. Tifft. Sigma Nu fought back to tie the game at 12-all on a 20 yard pass to Butch Watson from Pressley. The most outstanding play of the game, and maybe the season, came after the PiKa's had held on a third and goal situation on the PiKa one. Quarterback Hayes lofted a first down pass to speedy Bobby Heald who outran the op position to the goal-line for a 12-6 lead. The PiKa's failed to convert the PAT and the score remained 12-6. Pressley came back to win the quarterback duel with Hayes with his four yard toss and Sigma Nu victory. The Sigma Nu win coupled with Phi Delta Theta's win over Phi Kappa Sigma places the two teams in a rematch for the fraternity championship. The Phi Delt's handed Sigma Nu its only loss of the campaign, 7-0. PiKa and Phi Kappa Sigma will also have a rematch to deter mine the third and fourth places in the standings.

However, once inside the Carolina 20, Wake could not penetrate the Cock's tight defense because of interceptions and an aggressive pass rush. The Cocks exploited the gifts of Wake Forest to the utmost, to defeat the potentially dangerous team. The first break was a fumbled handoff which bounced off the ball carrier's knee and was recoveredl by Lyn Hodge. The first quarter closed and the teams moved to the opposite ten yard line for Suggs to drill a pass to Fred Zeigler who had run a hook type pattern near the goal line. Another break came later in the second period when Chris Bank fell on a fumbled punt deep in Wake territory. The Cocks, using their recently installed spread offense, sent Holloman to the goal line for a Suggs pass and a touchdown. Carolina started the second half auspiciously with a drive that was sparked by Don Bailey's kickoff return to the Carolina 43. USC then used a key third down pass to Doug Hamric and the ever present power of Warren Muir to drive to inside the 20 before Billy Dupre booted a 34 yard field goal against the wind. Unlike the Gamecocks, Wake was unable to take advantage of a Carolina gift, a Suggs fumble after a brilliant scamper. The Deacon's Russell fumbled on the next play and Jim Pope recovered. A few plays later Suggs hit Holloman in the flat and he faked out a few defenders and skirted ' into the end zone for his second score of the game. Defensively the Cocks were vulnerable to the pitch out part of the trailing half back off the triple option. Carolina's defensive field general, strong line hacker Ben Padgett, repeatedly thwarted the option play with open field tackle in the Wake backfield. Padget's great efforts were supplemented alert play by the Carolina secondary interceptions by Pat Watson.
