Sports Editor Carolina's football team entered this spring's practices optimistic it could build a far better team than the one which struggled last fall. Now that the spring season is over, it is time to review what the Gamecock's were able to accomplish over their five weeks of practice. Possibly the biggest maneuver the Gamecock's were able to pull was the change from a dropback passing offense to the veer. Whenever a team makes such a drastic alteration in its basic attack, time must be allotted to put the offense into effective use. The five weeks of spring drills have given the Gamecocks ample time to make the change, and there has been a noticeable improvement in the veer from the beginning of the spring until the squad game last Friday. Personnel-wise Carolina has also made changes. Foremost was the insertion of Jeff Grantz, a freshman, as the starting quarter back. It may be more than a coinci dence that at the same time Grantz was given the starting job. the veer began to jell. In the game last Friday Grantz made some mistakes which are to be expected of any young quarter back. However, the Maryland native also came up with the big plays, including a 50-yard tduchdown run, wuc'h have put a smile on Paul Dietzel's face that was absent most of last year. Dietzel expects the veer to come up with a number of long touchdown plays. The first team in the Garnet Black game also sprang Jay Lynn Hodgin on a 42-yard score. But Dietzel also acknowledges that the veer is an offense in which fumbles surface at an alarming rate. Combined, the teams Friday night had seven fumbles. However, few of the fumbles resulted from faulty exchanges by the quarter back and running back. Most of the fumbles came at the point of con tact, which Dietzel said is from car lessness on the part of the runner and can be easily remedie& - C Other changes made during the spring had Tom Zipperly return to running back and Bill Cregar move to strong linebacr. Both are listed as starters at their new. position. Suit S, Stai towerds the pas wemeral pr AU proee.d wil yeet .0.s een wreb. 'I SUITS Just in * 0337 Main Si. pring hanges The Zipperly change gives the veer more speed and should put a great deal more life in the backfield. He will split his time with Tommy Amrein and Hodgin, who both played often last year. Carolina's offensive line is prob ably the most improved phase of the entire team. And this improvement is not altogether just because the line was the team's worst depart ment last season and could only get better. This year the Gamecock line is more experienced, something it lacked last season, and bigger. While the middle of the line, Rick Anthony and Jerry Witherspoon, the guards, and Jimmy Privette, the center, return from last year, the tackles, Darrell Austin and Dave Cash, were not available last season. Cash, who will be a senior, missed most of 1972 with an injury after starting in the previous year. Aus tin, also a starter on the offensive line two years ago, was moved to defensive tackle last season. Two new wide receivers-Eddie Muldrow and Jim Collins-are listed on the starting team. The other receiver is Marty Woolbright, last season's first team tight end. Vast alterations have also been made in the defense. Andy IzHeup at end, Monty Mathews and Roger Toy at the tackles, Cregar at strong linebacker, Henry Laws at corner back and Thad Rowe at rover all will be first-time starters. They will be reinforced by vete rans Dana Carpenter, middle guard, Bob Roe, end, Tony Pepper, weak linebacker, Mel Baxley, corner back, and C. A. Wilson, safety. Carolina's kicking game should be about equal to last year, if not a bit improved. Bobby Marino, a ris ing sophomore and hero of last fall's upset of Florida State, should replace graduating Tommy Bell easily. Punter Robby Reynolds can only be better with another year's experience. That, briefly, is a preview of the 973 Carolina football team.
