USC. coming off a big win over
the North Carolina Tar Heels
travel to College Park for a big
ACC game with Maryland
Saturday afternoon.
Gamecock coach Paul Dietzel
called the game "as important now
as the UNC game was last week."
Dietzel said. "In the conference a
win is a win and a loss is a loss. It
doesn't matter who you are
playing."

Dietzel has been reminding his
players all week that none of them
were born the last time a USC
team won in College Park. In 1946
USC won a last minute touchdown
pass by halfback Whitey Jones.
Since then the Gamecocks have
won at home but have dropped 10
consecutive games at Byrd
Stadium. The Terps lead in the
overall series 16-10.
Maryland also is the last ACC

"Well, it feels better than it has
for the last two weeks, but it still
could be better," said Tommy
Suggs late Thursday evening,
referring to his injured ankle.
Suggs injured the ankle in the
N.C. State game three weeks ago
and is still hampered by it. It has
slowed him in both games since
State. Jackie Young has had to
replace him late in the games.
"In the VPI game I hurt it at the
end of the first half," Suggs said.
"After that I had it in a cast for
four days. In the UNC game in the
middle of the fourth quarter I had
just thrown a long pass when I got

'team to beat USC. A 21-19 rain
soaked upset In 196 preceded 11
ACC wins and a tie for the
Gamecocks. Last year USC won 17
0 enroute to a perfect 6-0 con
ference mark.
This year USC is 3-1.1 while the
Terps are winless in five tries.
Last year's starting quar
terback. Jeff Shugars, has been
beaten out by sophomore Bob
Tucker. Tucker is an excellent
scrambler and a good drop back
passer.
Jeff Miller, who led the Terp6 in
rushing last year has been shifted
to linebacker where Maryland
seems to have a problem. Al
Thomas. who enjoyed a great
game against USC last year, has
been injured most of this season.
Art Seymore was moved from
fullback to tailback to replace
Thomas. Thomas has seen some
action this season but has not been
at full speed. He is expected to be
near full speed Saturday.
Scott Shank moved up to the
fullback spot when Seymore was
shifted. Shank is an excellent
blocker but has gained only 35
yards in five games.
The Terps have had problems on
offense with fumbles and mistakes
deep in their own territory.
Against UNC Maryland turned the
ball over inside their own 20 five
.ady to go
hit. The tackler rolled over on
me.
"I've had bad ankles since high
school," Suggs said.
When asked how it felt now he
quickly added, "It feels pretty
good. I'm at full speed and ready to
go, I hope."
The Gamecocks have not beaten
Maryland at Maryland in the last
ten times they've played there.
"Dave DeCamilla and Rick
Brown have bad ankles," Suggs
said. "After the UNC game,
(Candler) Boyd and Mooney have
bad knees. But overall we're in
good shape."

The Terps line has only one
player that was listed as a
preseason starter. Pat Burke a 6-2
22M guard anchors the front. Burke
is joined by Tim Brannan at the
other guard and by Ray Bednar
and Steve Fromang at the tackles.
Don Ratcliff, the Terps leading
receiver, is the starting split end
and Bob Manhic is the top tight
end.
End Guy Roberts, 6-1 220, and
safety Tony Greene head the Terp
defense, which has looked good
most of the year. Roberts is joined
by Chris Cowdrey at end. Tackles
are 6-2 235 Jim Watkins and 5-10 200
Pete Mattia.
The Terps play a 4-4-3 defense
with four linebackers. Ed Mc
Manus and Miller split time at the
left linebacker with Craig Geinger
manning the right spot. Bill Reilly
is the inside linebacker with Ted
Steiner the middle linebacker.
Greene heads the secondary
where he is joined by Eric Moore
and Len Massie.
The Gamecocks will have ace
quarterback Tommy Suggs closer
to full speed than he has been since
the N.C. State game. Candler Boyd
and Kevin Mooney suffered knee
injuries last week against UNC.
Mooney will not rnake the trip but
Boyd should be ready to go.

Caught from behind
USC's Richard Waggoner (40) is caught from behind by
Clemson defender Randy Flanders (44) after short gain in
Biddies 9-0 win.
Punt returns
can turn tide
Most football coaches agree that the long punt return is
the most devastating weapon in the game, a maneuver that
can make or break a team.
Since Paul Dietzel came to USC as head coach five years
ago the Gamecocks once a year have come up with a long
punt return that in each case has been a key factor in vic
tory.
This season's case in point came Saturday at Chapel Hill,
when defensive halfback and kick return specialist Dick
Harris fielded a North Carolina punt at the Gamecock three
yard line and raced 97 yards to put Carolina ahead 14-7 over
North Carolina in a key Atlantic Coast Conference game
eventually won by the defending champion Gamecocks 35
21.
Key blocks by roverback Jake Stone near the beginning
of the run, by linebacker Benny Padgett at the USC 35, and
by defensive end Kevin Mooney at the Tar Heel 35, when
Mooney screen blocked North Carolina kicker Don Mc
Cauley to clear the final obstacle, cleared the way for the
fleet Harris.
Harris is the fastest member of the Gamecock squad,
having been timed at 4.5 seconds for a 40 yard sprint. In
track last spring, he won the 440 yard relay, and ran the first
leg on the first place mile relay team. The junior from Point
Pleasant Beach, N.J., has run the 100 yard dash com
petitively in 9.8 seconds.
To refresh memories, those other long punt returns were
by Bobby Bryant, 98 yards against NC State in 1966 in a 31-21
Carolina victory; 67 yards by Pat Watson against Virginia
in 1967 to start the Gamecocks from a 17-0 deficit to a 24-33
win; 73 yards by Tyler Heliams in 1968 against Clemson to
provide a 7-3 win; and 72 yards by Jim Mitchell against NC
State in 1969 to key a 21-6 win.
Bryant's 98 yarder in 1966 is the Atlantic Coast Con
ference record. Harris' sprint Saturday was just one yard
short of that.

The USC Biddies face N.C. State
tonight in the Cockpit at 7:30. The
frfshman team will be trying to
make It two in a row after beating
Clemson last week, 9-0.
The Biddies expect a hard
fought contest against a tough
State team which boasts a 2-1
record.
The Wolflets routed outclassed
East Carolina, 64-13, but fell to a
strong North Carolina team, 21-0.
The Wolflets bounced back to
dump the Wake Forest freshman,
31-13.
Willie Burden is an excellent
halfback who personally sparked
State to their win over Wake.
Burden could prove a threat to the
Biddie defense which held
Clemson's powerful offense to only
M yards rushing.
USC will be without the services
