The veteran coach, who has won four ACC Coach-of-the Year awards, then turned his thoughts to the Gamecocks. "USC has got a really good team" he said. "We're wary of the whole club. They've got good of fense and good defense. 7tey ru well and with Suggs they pass well." Edwards paused at that point and considered Suggs. "Suggs is a veteran," he said, "and he runs the team like one. He is dangerous. "We ran on Carolina a couple of years ago," he continued, "and won the game. We ran on them last year although we lost.

Baseballers begin fall workouts Fall baseball practice will begin for the USC baseball team Monday afternoon at 3 O'clock at Captal ty Park, according to second year coach Bobby Richardson. "Fall practice is basically a tryout period for any interested boys," said Richardson. "No one will be allowed to play next spring uniles he comes out now and we have a chance to evaluate his potential." Richardson added that all boys will be required to supply their own practice equipment. The baseball team finished 14-20 last year in Richardson's first season but improved their ACC record from 3-15-1 in 1969 to a 9-12 mark last spring. The strong point of the baseballers is the pitching while hitting continues to be a problem. Although all of the pitching staff performed well only one, Eddie Bolton, had a winning record. Bolton finished 6-3 with a 2.34 marned run average. Lefthanders George Beam and Alan Hilliard found a home as rreshmao with Beam finishing with a sparkling 1.53 ERA and Hilliard leading the team in in rings pitched and strikeouts. Hilliard had a 3.24 earned run mark. USC changes lineup for State The USC football team has altered its lineup for the upcoming game with N. C. State this Saturday in Raleigh. The changes were made due to performances against Wake Forest last week when the Gamecocks rolled to a 43-7 win. Seniors Doug Hamrick and Can dler Boyd were rewarded for their efforts in the big win and sophomore Mike Haggard was moved up to replace Jimmy Mitchell who suffered a bruised shoulder in the Wake game at flanker. Mitchell is not expected to be ready to play by this weekend. He had his arm in a sling during the first part of this week and is not expected to ever make the trip. Hamrick steps in for junior Billy Freeman at tight end where he has started for the last two seasons. Boyd replaces sophomore Russ Kuritz at Roverback. Kuritz was a running back on the frosh team last year but was switched to defense when Tyler Hellams came down with mononuclosis. Soccer Club apens under disadvantage A coaehless team. no matter how good. is at a disadvantage. The USC Soccer_Club is laboring under just this disadvantage but the prospect doesn't seem to bother Allen Rutherford and the some 20 Soccer fanatics who showed up for the initial practice session Monday afternoon. ".We haven't set up any games as yet." Rutherford said. "We'll have to see what we have in the line of a team." The players practice every Monday. Wednesday, and Friday at :3 p.m. on intramural field "A". but the club often has conflicts with the band. The club has been set us as. a separate entity along with the Rtugby Club this year. "The two clubs were starting to require too much money." Dr. Paul Fidler'. assistant vice president for student affairs said. "So we requested them to consider becoming independent of the In tramural Office. They have been independent since last Decem her." While the USC Soccer Club finds It difficult to get matches with many schools because it falls to meet conference requirements, Rtutherford seemed to feel that the " club will have no trouble findhug opponents from among such choels as Columbia Bible College. which features a number of foriega students.
