Spot In years, is back at offensive tackle. , He played there as a sophomore i but moved to defensive tackle as a i junior. a Tom Zipperly, who was the best a running back on the freshman team two years ago, is back at that position. He started at defensive i back last year. I "Last year we had to have him i on defense because we had so a many holes to fill," Dietzel said. "This year we have guys who have had a year of experience at defensive back, so we can afford to i move him to running back. He does a some things when he's running the i ball that I just can't teach." C Dietzel said he thinks the - Gamecocks must have six good r running backs to run the veer ef fectively. He's sure who three of r the running backs will be, but is still looking for the other three. He said Jay Lynn Hodgin, r Tommy Amrein and Zipperly were certain to see action regularly.

Graham did not last the entire game for Clemson, although he did pitch eight innings and surren Mike Johnson ...blast sinks n Clemson dered all three of USC's runs to absorb the defeat. While Graham's performance was strong, it did not match that of USC's Ward. The Gamecock starter lasted the entire contest and gave up just one score to . Clemson-that coming on Craig White's homerun in the bottom of the first inning-while striking out six and walking only two. Ward e was rewarded for his showing by gaining the win and raising his pitching record to 3-2. S Despite being limited to just five hits, Carolina did bunch them together and produced the runs Sthey needed to compliment Ward's work. S Jim Fleming started USC's run scoring by walking in the first inning, moving to second on Graham's wild pitch and scoring on Steve King's single.

Veer listed Randy Spinks, Russ Jackson and Ian Mofford, a transfer fresh man from Canada, as the leading candidates for the other three spots. Dietzel believes the veer is an easy offense to implement. "The veer is a simple thing to teach," he said. "It's a simple offense but it takes a lot of repitition to learn to do it well. "It has so many variations. In a regular offense the play is called in the huddle. With the veer the play isn't decided until after the ball is snapped." In the veer, even more so than another offense, quarterback is the most difficult position to teach. "The quarterback is in the middle of all those options," Dietzel said. "The real test is to see who can execute the options better than the other. Luckily we have three good quarterback candidates." Now all he has to decide is who the- best one is. mson necocks scored two more runs in the fifth to break the deadlock produced by White's shot. Mike Johnson produced the runs for the victory margin when he smashed his first career homerun with teammate Al Worthington, who had doubled, aboard. The win raised USC's record on the season to 13-11. Carolina's batting leader, John Gambrell, was forced to leave the game when Graham hit him with a pitch in the third inning, making the .333 hitter retire to the sidelines. Graham struck three Carolina batters during the cold afternoon as he plunked King and Bruce Pudlock also. This evening Carolina visits The Citadel to tackle a Bulldog squad which last week set back the Gamecocks at home. Friday night the Gamecocks return home to tackle Georgia Southern at 7:30 on the Rex Enrght Athletic diamond behind the Roost Dorm.
