Carolina meets Virginia Tech
Saturday night in what should
prove to be the Gamecocks' first
victory of the football season.
Both the Gamecocks and the
Gobblers have 0-4 records, but USC
nearly engineered an upset of
powerful Houston last weekend
while Tech has hardly threatened
much weaker opponents.
The game, Carolina's
homecoming, will start at 7:30.
The two teams met in Virginia

fifth game of that season and VPI

was also winless going in"othe
encounter, and Carolina came
away with a hard-fought 27-24
victory.
USC's winless slate this season
appears much easier to explain
than Tech's-Carolina has played
four relatively strong teams in
Georgia Tech, Duke, Georgia and
Houston. But Tech's slate is much
weaker, with Kentucky, SMU,
Houston and VMI.handing the
Gobblers their losses.

USC's baseball team played a seemingly insignificant
series of games these past few days with a semi-pro
outfit from Columbia--the Columbia Jets- but those
games serve as somewhat of an indication of the
powerhouse that Bobby Richardson has built at USC.
In a time of year, as one fan said last Thursday night
at the first game of the series, when only four teams
should be playing baseball (that being the four con
tenders for Major League World Series play) Carolina
was dominating baseball games, just as they do during
the regular season.
Only one of the games with the Jets was really close,
that being the first encounter when the two teams
battled through the first seven innings with a 1-1
deadlock, but USC sprinted to a win in that game, 5-1.
USC took the next game quite easily, 9-3, and the third
game was even easier, 13-3.
But this is not to say the Jets are a weak team or that
the Gamecocks had an easy go of it. Such is not the case
-the Jets are a strong unit, comprised of predominately
ex-Carolina players, most from these past successful
seasons.
And since baseball players continue to get better
through their 20's, the mere fact that the Jets are mostly
ex-USC'ers does not mean the team is over-the-hill.
Instead, they should be approaching the maturity of
their baseball careers-if they continue playing baseball
and most of the Jets play in summer leagues.
And the Jets represent the class, quite probably, of the
Central Carolina League, in which they play. The squad
has run up a 36-9 record in two years of league play and
has been in the title game both times, losing once and
winning once.
So Carolina's victories over the old Gamecock
veterans are quite impressive. If USC can win so easily
