USC N BY JIM HERSH Asst. Sports Editor Carolina will face Atlantic Coast football weakling Saturday night when they play Wake Forest in Winston Salem. The Gamecocks are 2-2 after beating Virginia Tech last Saturday. Wake Forest, 1-3, has lost to William and Mary, Richmond and Texas in con secutive weeks after beating Florida State in the season opener. Carolina Head Coach Paul Dietzel is expected to be able to coach this week after missing last Saturday's game because of a stomach ailment. Dietzel was released from Baptist Hospital Tuesday and doctors told him he could work himself back into his coaching routine. Pride Ratterree, who was the head coach last week, will again coach if Dietzel suffers a relapse before the game and cannot coach. In their four games Wake's 40 ERB) on mai Sho.p Dutch Sqps and Richland M leets PL offense has not scored a touch down. Richmond and Texas both beat the Deacons 41-0, William and Mary won 15-14 and the Deacons had three field goals in their 9-7 win over Florida State. Wake's defense scored two touchdowns in the William and Mary game. Felix Glasco, their monster man on defense, ran an interception and fumble for touchdowns. The Deacons biggest of fensive threat is kicker Chuck Ramsey. His three field goals beat Florida State and he is fourth in the nation in punting. His four-game punting average is 46.1 and last Saturday at Texas he punted for a 51.6 average. Fullback Frank Harsh is considered the Deacon's running back. Although he missed the Texas game with an injury, he has rushed for 164 yards on 32 carries, a 5.1 average, in three games. The other running back, Clayton Heath has gained 180 yards in 56 carries. SPOTLI RICHLAND 12th ANN Burnished En< PLATF( 3 DAY! ONLY inre ail Thursday til 9 p nchiess Quarterback Andy Carlton has completed less than 33 per cent of his pass attempts, which is an indication of just how poor the Deacon's offense is. Yet, as weak as Wake's offense is, Carolina's coaches said this week they are con cerned about Wake Forest. "Nobody has moved the ball on the long play against their defense," Assistant Coach Oval Jaynes said Tuesday. Apparently Richmond and Texas used a lot of little plays to score 41 points each against Wake. Carolina's offense controlled the ball .last week against Virginia Tech, proving they can win without long touch down plays. So far this season, quar terback Jeff Grantz has run for 234 yards and passed for 461 yards on 36 completions in 66 attempts. The running backs are, Jay Lynn Hodgin-227 yards, 3.6 average-and Randy Spinks-101 yards, 4.2 average.

Plaqued by injuries all year, Harsh is the starting fullback for the Deacons and was forced to miss the Texas game with a torn cartilage in his ribs. Harsh forsees a "real close" game this Saturday night at Groves Stadium in- Win ston-Salem. Harsh, from Blairsville, Pa., gained a starting role as a fresh man last year, rushing for 670 yards. In three games this season he has rushed for 164 yards in 32 carries for a 5.1 average. The 6-0, 210, fullback said he is used primarily as a blocker but suspects he will be running the ball a lot this Saturday night for two reasons: 25 percent off ON ALL GIRLS WINTER INNER CITY 2016 Green Stro 3 blocks frc The Cr Literary A nee Fiction, film scenarios and critic criticism for its fall issue.

"South Carolina is a tough team," said Harsh. "Coach Paul Dietzel does a great job with the guys. I was impressed with Dana Carpenter on defense. Last year I had to block him because the middle linebacker was my man, but they have changed him to defensive tackle and now I have to worry about Garry Mott. "South Carolina runs the veer perfect," said Harsh." Jeff Grantz, Jay Lynn Hodgin, and Randy Spinks are something else." Wake Forest's offense has not scored a touchdown all year. "We have not scored because of mistakes," said Harsh. "We have moved the ball well but once we get inside the 20, penalties or fumbles always kill us." 25 percent o AND FALL SLACKS QADR AGS aet-(At Five Points) im Russell House ucible Aagazin ds: ism, plays, poetry and general iscripts must be typed and double f-addressed, stamped envelope if The address is: The Crucible 137. tave 1enim! ents of ~HT LEG, BOOT CUT BELL BIG BELL OR DUNGAREES CUTs GIES KETS RTS LE VYS ES BREW r & Assembly.
