Freshmai has vartei By DENNIS WISE Gamecock Sports Writer USC Freshman football coach Jerry Sullivan has more to do than just getting the freshmen ready for their football games. His duties also include coaching, scouting, recruiting and, most important of all, he has to be a second father to some of his players. The freshmen have scheduled only three games this fall. Sullivan thinks that is enough. "This is a big adjustment from high school," he said. "For most of the boys it is the first time away from home, so they need a chance to get adjusted and for some it is hard to do." The freshmen team is designed to help newcomers learn the USC system. It also gives players some motivation to keep them working hard, Sullivan said. During the season's course, some of the freshmen players will get a chance to play with the varsity. Freshmen John Dantonio, of Zanesville, Ohio, and Rick Sanford, of Rock Hill, have received high marks from the USC staff for their play against Duke on the Punt-coverage teams. Soccer clut over Colun By REX GALE Gamecock Sports Writer A strong second half surge helped the USC Soccer Club stage a come from behind 3-1 victory over Columbia Bible College Saturday afternoon. * The first and only goal of the game by Columbia Bible College was set up by a deflected shot with 4:15 gone in the first half. Carolina goalie Paul Bristol made a good save on the first shot and deflected the ball to the right side of the goal, but Verne Marshall was there and kicked the ball past two Carolina defenders for the score. It was a sloppy first half with both teams having trouble han dling the ball. Columbia Bible College had control much of the first half, but Carolina soon tied the score on a John Rosier goal with 32:23 gone in the half. Rosier rushed the net, faked left, and booted the ball into the right side of the net. The half ended with the score deadlocked at 1-1. The second half was a complete reversal of the first for the Gamecocks. They quickly took opening control of the ball and with the help of some penalties and good, crisp passing they fired numerous shots on goal. Their work paid off as Rosier again USC begins with tourni CLEMSON - Carolina swept all three of their matches to capture the championship in the first an nual Clemson fall tennis classic which concluded Saturday.

Tennis coach Ron Smarr said that .he was pleased with the singles play in the tournament but z coach d duties Sullivan says this is what the system is all about. "Nobody re ally pays any attention to the freshmen if they go 3-0 but its what the varsity does that counts. Every effort must be put in to help the varsity achieve a winning season." Recruiting is a major role in Sullivan's job. When Carolina recruits freshmen they look for three things, he said. First, he has to be a good student; secondly, he must have a good character, and he must be a good football player. Players, according to Sullivan, sometimes are recruited for specific positions, usually to try and fill gaps left by graduation. Sullivan said the main recruiting areas for Carolina are Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and within South Carolina. He said they also venture into the Washington, D.C. and Virginia areas.
