Grantz'R,eplaceme Bass P1 When quarterback Ron Bass swept into the end zone on a short yardage situation to give his squad a narrow victory in Saturday af ternoon's Gamecock football scrimmage it seemed appropriate, for Bass is one of the principal players in this year's Spring football practice. With first-string quarterback Jeff Grantz skipping the spring drills to play baseball instead, Bass has moved into the top role. At least for this spring.

With Bass obtaining so much work during the Spring drills he should be prepared to spell Grantz on a more frequent basis than he did last year. Grantz now plays second base for the baseball Gamecocks.

Dietzel has been pleased with Bass' work this Spring and the coach expressed this mood following the Saturday scrim mage, calling it one of the "best I've ever had since I've been coaching" and praising the work of Bass and the offense. Dietzel also had praise for the defensive corps, a unit which caused him many worries last season with its inexperience. The defense, which started many freshmen and sophomores last year, should return as a more mature unit this next year. USC's Top Guard Pr Truett He New York prep guard Billy Truett, a top college prospect, is expected to sign at USC by his high school coach according to an ar ticle by Jim Walser in the latest issue of Osceola. Truett averaged 28.7 points per game as a senior at New York's Baker-Victory High and was listed by the Louisville Courier-Journal as one of the top 100 College prospects. Truett attended Bishop Tyman High School the previous season, where he was named to the All Catholic league team after |W l-\; M A vo Wea r( v 12:O() - (I JA.\I S-SSION 6LEY PAVI] ~udent~ SpecialI ~ednesdag Jhi2fi Pizza Buffet IAll You Can Ea Beer & Wine at Reduce $L95 per norrn mnage The spring drills and scrim- . mages are leading up to the April 27 Garnet and Black game, which culminates the workouts until next fall. In the Garnet and Black affair the Carolina squad is divided into two teams of equal talents and a regulation game is played. In addition to having two top-line quarterbacks and the promise of a strengthened and matured defense, Dietzel is also pleased that his already strong running corps will be improved by the addition of a healthy Tommy Amrein. Amrein missed all of last year because of injuries. He was listed as a starter before last season. His ospect aded For( averaging 25 points an outing. Walser quoted a Buffalo source as saying that Truett "Has an unbelievable jump shot and is a great defensive player. He's Mr. Everything up here." The sought-after guard will make trips to Oregon, Tennessee and Marquette before selecting his final choice but indications are it will be Carolina. The Gamecocks are searching to fill the guard position left vacated by the graduation of Brian Win ters.

The article listed two other guard possibilities-both members of Parade magazine's All American Top Forty. New York's Bill Clarke and New Jersey's Jack Gilloon. But two players USC had been recruiting apparently are ticketed elsewhere. Chris Patton, 6-9, and Myles Patrick, 6-7, are both ranking other schools above Carolina on their list of possibilities.
