ESTON HIGHWAY, CAYCE IE WORK ANDLERS wintIl 6 p.m. 8-1260 ( CORP. 15 N. at I-20 Jnlly employer Grant As Le< BY JIM HERSH Asst. Sports Editor Jeff Grantz guided Carolina's first team offense to six consecu tive touc; 1owns against the second team deiense in the "Day of the Gamecock" scrimmage Saturday. The freshman quarterback threw for two touchdowns and ran for another one out of the veer set. His tremendous day seemed to enchance his odds of holding the first string job. "He's very, very quick," Paul Dietzel said of his newest f ind. "Of course, he was with the first string offense going against the second team defense, but still the results are whether you get the ball in the end zone and he did that today." Grantz' running was encouragmg since it is imperative that a veer quarterback be able to keep the defense honest by tucking the ball away and running on occasion. Grantz ran with authority Saturday afternoon. One play gave Dietzel special satisfaction. Grantz was trapped, seemingly helplessly, in his own backfield but was able to cut upfield, evading tackler after tackler before breaking into the clear for a 59-yard scoring play. "He really showed some speed and quickness on that play," Dietzel said. "He got trapped because he read the wrong key and made the wrong option. But his speed turned a loss into a 59-yard touchdown." Grantz also threw the ball well. He lobbed the ball on the money about 40 yards in the air over the outstretched arm of a defensive back to Marty Woolbright for a 48 yard touchdown. Then he came back on the next series to drill the Libi BICi N1 STI There is still time to b( increase in bicycles. We available.

Impre ider Of ball 13 yards to Tommy Amrein in the end zone. Carolina's running backs also looked spectacular, which is som ething they certainly did not look this fall. Tom Zipperly was espe cially impressive for the short time he hats L. to work with the offense. He was moved from defensive back lait week. Zipperly hit the holes quickly and got into the secondary often. "As soon as he gets his moorings back TOM ZIPPERLY ...position switch working. he'll be a great help to our of fensive unit," Dietzel said of Zipperly. "He can really cut." Zipperly scored twice and Jay Lynn Hodgin ran for one in the scrimmage. Along with Amrein they were more than the second team defense could handle. "Zipperly, Amrein and Hodgin are all about the same type run ners," Dietzel siad. "But Hodgin is probably the most consistent right now. And I'd have to put Randy Spinks in their class. We got pretty good, tough running from all four of them today." While the first team offense had no trouble running through the sec ond team defense, the second team offense found the going tough Drio 'CLES )W N )CK! at the expected price iave limited qtiantities w 1973 models with full e warranty-FREE 30 one year on all parts s, brake shoes and nor ted) all bicycles set-up ride. ENTER BIA 254.2321 ssive Veer against the first team defense. The second team, quarterbacked by Dobby Grossman and Lyn Rush ing, who both seem to be losing the first string battle to Grantz, scored only once. Eddie Muldrow made a diving catch of a Grossman pass in the left corner of the end zone for the second team's lone score. "We're a lot quicker, but smaller, an the defensive line this year," Dietzel said. "But because we do a lot of stunting we really don't have to be that big." The Gamecocks are especially smaller at the tackles where Monty Wathews and Roger Toy have replaced Darrell Austin and John [eHeup. But Dietzel blamed the second team's inability to move the ball on niddleguard Dana Carpenter. "It's tard for an offense to do anything when you have to play with Dana Carpenter on the center's head," Dietzel said. "He just intimidates the young centers. He's about the best football player we have ever tad here." Really it is hard to say anything bad about the Gamecock's first team offense or defense's perfor nance Saturday afternoon. But it's )bvious that they will not push nany of next year's opponents wound like they did their second team. "We look better right now than we did last year in the Spring game," Dietzel claimed. "But I'm sure that we wouldn't run the ball ap and down the field if we had the rirst team against first team."
