"Jim has been working real hard all summer and he ran a good race," USC coach Bill McClure said. "The course is more difficult than most because a lot of it is over sandy ground and that kept the times up." Sophomore Wayne Thomas was third in the race with a time of 15:14.

University Dining Biddie Ap paI BY BILL GRANT Sports News Editor The Carolina Biddies, utilizing a opportunistic offense and a rugged defense, romped past Appalachian State's freshmen, 48-10, Friday night at Williams-Brice Stadium. "This was a good win for us," commented Bob Ryan, making a successful debut as USC freshman coach. "The boys did a good job for a first game. You know this was one of those games, 'you're sup posed to win' but we had no trouble getting them up for this one. They've been waiting five weeks for this game." The Biddies capitalized on two blocked punts and one pass in terception to set up three of their seven scores. Also the defensive pressure on Appalachian's punter, Mark Heath, was so great that when he was given enough time to get off a punt, he averaged only 19.4 yards per punt, giving the Biddies excellent field position all night. The defense also con sistently stopped Appalachian's option attack, allowing the 'Baby Apps' only 168 yards total offense. Our whole defensive unit did a great job," says Ryan. "I was very pleased with their performance. I can single out Cato (Keith) for an excellent job and Gary Mott put the helment on a lot of people tonight," commented Ryan. ill Cafeteria Tuesday iative will be showing >o. And the food.

With a 20-10 halftime lead, Ryan elected to open up his offense and test the Biddies passing attack, giving all three frosh quarterbacks Jeff Grantz, John McElveen and Zeb Shue, equal time under fire. "All three quarterbacks did an outstanding job," Ryan said, "McElveen probably had the best statistics. We'll have to see the 4 films before we decide on who will start next week. These three were so even we were drawing straws to see who would start this game." McElveen, Jeff Grantz and Zeb Shue combined for 118 yards through the air. Grantz also had an outstanding game as the Biddie (See Frosh, Page 11) ArtCarved wedding rings. 1 1/ LYRIC SET For those who believe in lasting love.
