Memphis State 's MI By CHARLIE COLLINS Assist. Sports Editor "Ain't it awful," said coach Bill Murphy of Memphis State. And that's how things looked from his end of the field. Murphy paced the dressinq room after his team's loss, obviously frustrated. Few words Defense keys USC (Continued from Page 6) game. Then Mark DeCamilla limped to the sidelines, leaving Simmons, Heywood and Charlie Jetton to handle the running chores. "Rice got a real good bruise on his leg, but it's all right," Dietzel revealed. "The reason he couldn't play any more is because the bruise was so extensive. There was no way to deaden it. He just couldn't walk. "Memphis State really wanted this game," he continued. "I knew we would never be out of the soup. It really is a shame that someone had to lose. Spook and I agreed that both teams had to win. I said it would be one heck of a win, and it was. "I was impressed with Memphis State before, during and after the game. They are a top notch football team. This game was a big pivotal point. Now the trip back to Columbia will only take three and a half minutes. If you lose, it takes seven hours," Dietzel concluded.

"Boy, there were a lot of licks passed out there. It really was a hard hitting football game. Both teams came to play tonight. "It was a big game for both Carolina and us, but they won it, and that's what counts. "I won't say that a defeat like this is any more or less demoralizing than one like we had to Mississippi," said Murphy. "Any defeat is demoralizing, but we can't look at this game as a season breaker. We've got too much at stake--too much to look forward to. We have a lot of games left yet. "Any time you hold a team to one touchdown you're supposed to beat them," said Murphy, "but after a hard hitting game like that you never have to hold your head down. "I think both teams played defense extremely well. We knew they (Carolina) were real strong defensively because everyone has had trouble with them. I don't believe anyone has just taken the ball and stuck it down their throats,'" said the Tiger coach. "As far as the quick kicks were concerned, I wanted to keep the ball away from (Dick) Harris as much as possible. He's the number one kick returner in the nation and I didn't want him to break one. "The big play," said Murphy searching for the breaking point, 'was when they (Carolina) made the first down after the third and ten situation." This was the third quarter situation in which Morris ran for nine yards and Robbie Davis sneaked for one to turn the fourth and one situation.
