KA's passing attack, which operates mostly with three wide receivers and no running oacks, provided enough offense to defeat Phi Delta Theta 14-0 and Kappa Sigma 13-0. Kappa Sigma beat a hard-nosed Zeta Beta Tau squad earlier in the week in triple overtime, 6-0. Maxcy jumped four slots to tie residence hall rival Woodrow for the number five spot. Maxcy downed an outmanned Wade Hampton Hotel team 18-0, while Woodrow was a double winner. The "Woodies" retained meir position Dy beating Bates House 6-0, and Thornwell 8-0, scoring a touchdown on the last play of the game against "the Well".

Sims was a double loser, to Capstone and South Building, and dropped out of the poll. Also dropping out was Bates House, who lost their two games. Top ranked Chi Omega walloped Bated House 26-0 to start their quest for a second consecutive championship.

AFFECTING ALL TEAMS involved in the flag football program, will be several new rule changes. No longer will we view the familiar scene of two teams dressed in colored t-shirts, digging in across from each other as friends and classmates cheer them on.

This is one of the rule chances imDlemented hv thp intramural department to cut down on Hag football injuries. "Right now we're trying to take the game we have and make it safer," said Clint Bowers, who along with Pete Dumiak will serve as a head referee and supervisor this year. Other changes include penalties for an offensive player trying to run over a defensive player to protect his flags, and no pivoting is allowed except within a few yards of the snap. Player conduct on the field will also be checked closely, said Intramural Director Eric Stein. Players who are ejected from games will have to meet personally with Stein before playing in his or her next game. "If someone is thrown out of a game he has obviously committed a foul he shouldn't have," said Stein.

Although South Carolina lost to the Trojans 23-13, the trip to L.A. provided everyone with an opportunitv to ex perience one of the world's most fascinating cities. On Friday, the team toured Universal Studios. Some of the highlights of the Universal tour, included watching Gamecock cheerleader Laura Baker and running back Carl West obtain bionic powers. Laura was given a bionic left arm that enabled her to man-handle four Gamecock football players in a tug-of-w&r. West used his bionic strength to lift a full-sized pick-up truck off the ground. On the tour, the Gamecocks nearly lost their head coach Jim Carlen. Coach Carlen was almost snagged by the mechanical shark used in Jaws. After the incident, Carlen was trying to figure out a way to turn that man-eating shark into a defensive tackle. Los Angeles is a funny city when it comes to college football. The fans are at best very laid back. Rarely do they explode in tremendous uproars. They just sit back and sort of soak it all up. Trying to find a college football scoreboard on a Los Angeles radio station is like trying to find a white HiiiIa irk Ufollc v?uuv 111 i? alio. wnen a journalist thinks of Los Angeles, he thinks of bigtime journalism.
