Kappa Alpha retained the number one position in this
week's Gamecock flag football poll. Moore Alumni vaulted
into a tie for fourth place with incumbent Maxcy after
shutting out last week's number eight team, Snowden
Machine, who dropped out of the poll. Woodrow fell into
sixth place despite winning their third game.
Alpha Tau Omega cracks the poll for the first time this
season, moving up from honorable mention to the tenth
position. Sigma Nu jumped from number ten to number

Ed Rachwal sprinted 60 yards up the middle midway
through the first quarter to provide the only score of the
game as Moore Alumni beat Snowden Machine 6-0 in a key
matchup of top ten teams Sunday.
RACHWAL BURST through the hole left by a Snowden
linebacker, who was shadowing tight end Mark Cannaughton,
and outran the defenders to the goalline. Captain
George McBride of Moore Alumni was disappointed in the

praised his defense. "Snowden Machine controlled the ball
the entire third quarter yet could not score," McBride said.
In other games of the rain shortened week, Sigma Chi
outlasted a tough ATO squad in double overtime, winning 60.
Quarterback Ronnie Russell hit tight end Tom Reeves
with a five yard toss over the middle to give Sigma Chi the
victory, raising their record to 2-0. Brent Rogers of Sigma
Chi provided the only offense display of the defensive
struggle, hauling in a Russell pass at the ATO 15 yard line
late in the second quarter. The ATO defense tightened and
held, however, eventually forcing the game into overtime.
In other games, number six Wood row recorded their
third victory of the season with a 13-0 whitewash of
Snowden. It was the third straight shutout for the
"Woodies." Fourth rated Maxcy upped their record of 2-0
by defeating a surprisingly rugged Thornwell squad, 12-2.
Number nine Sigma Nu received win number two via
forfeit by Phi Delta Theta. Navy ROTC romped over the
Nads by the score of 20-0, while Phi Kappa Sigma outlasted
Pi Kappa Phi. Pi Kap scored with less than ten seconds
remaining on the game, but the pass for the extra point was
blocked, giving Phi Kappa the win.

I The 1980 U.S. Olympic track coach is advocating
subsidation of top athletes and the development of a total
sports program in the United States. Jim Carnes,
University of Florida track coach, also has pledged
! support for Title IX and the Grand Prix Road Racing
| circuit.
"We must find a way to subsidize and assist the top
and elite athlete," Carnes said in a speech to participants
in the Governors Cup Road Race on Friday
| night at the Business Administration Building.
Carnes described the Grand Prix circuit as the means
to financially support these athletes. Prize money would
be offered in these races, but it would be given to the
I respective clubs for distribution for food, housing, travel
and medical expenses. The first race was run last

I CARNES SAID the ordinary participant must not be
ignored, but competitions should be available to them.
"I fully believe that the way for us to have a great
program in all sports is a great grass r ots program,"
Carnes commented.
! Carnes pointed out that road racing is 30 million
participants, 44 percent of which are men. This is
indicative of the popular appeal of sport n this country

Carnes praised the U.S. competitor^ saying, "We

field." However, he said the existing mt-ans of support,
such as scholarships could be improved. We give the 18
year old a scholarship ... and he graduates at age 21 just
at his peak," Carnes commented. Programs such as the
Grand Prix races would allow athletes to continue
training, as in other countries.

Over the past three Gamecock football seasons, it has
been interesting to watch the development of USC quar

ici uctuiv urarry narper.
As a sophomore starter in 1978, Harper struggled through
a learning year. When the Gamecock offense sputtered,
Harper usually got the blame
Head coach Jim Carlen was the first to acknowledge his
young quarterback's limitations. Carlen repeatedly told the
press and fans that the Gamecock offense was restricted in
what it could do because ol Harper's limited abilities.
Harper had to live with that kind of frankness.
Each year, Harper got better He worked hard to develop
his skills and now he is reaping the benefits of all that hard
work. After last Saturday's 30-10 win over N.C. State, in
; which Harper completed 12 ' passes for 150 yards. I JSC
head coach J'r^ Carlen toh m?-dm that Hmh>oj' > a
good college quarterback." ' y f l.wper ha-- ,r
own as a quarterback and ewi. <Jarlen is willing to admit 10
that.
HUT LONG BEFORE Harper was a "good college
quarterback," he became what one might refer to as a
"quality human being."
Harper is a Christian. He's not the kind of Christian that
speaks of the Lord on Friday morning and acts like the
devil on Friday night. Harper's actions emulate his beliefs.
Harper may be the most well-known Christian on campus.
He ha*, voiced his religious beliefs to many

Carolina quarterback Garry Harper has been
named Athlete of the Week for his outstanding
performance in leading USC's football team to a
| 30-10 victory over the North Carolina State
Wolf pack on Saturday.
The 6-0, 180 pound senior from Hialeah, Fla

i help boost the Gamecocks season record to 4-1. \
Runners -up for the award this week include

organizations around campus and spoken, upon request, to
many groups and churches in the Carolina community.
He's not ashamed to tell people about his religion.
Life hasn't been a bed of roses for the Hialeah, Fla.
native. During his freshman year, Harper s new-found faith
was put to the test. Shortly after he arrived in Columbia, he
received word that his parents were getting a divorce.
Along with the divorce, Harper had to deal with the new
social and athletic environment that was presented to him

Harper's accomplishments on the football field are
common knowledge. But off the field, Harper does many
things which you'll never read about in the headlines of
your morning paper. Like last Thursday, when Harper
made a trip to Baptist Hospital to visit an 18 year-old youth
who is terminally ill. As a college football player. Harper is
not obligated to make such a visit. But as a Christian, the
visit symbolizes what Harper's faith is all about.
Through his faith, Garry Harper has become a winner,
not just on the scoreboard, but in life. And even if the
Gamecock offense sputters, Garry Harper will still be a
winner.
INTRAMURAL HEAD-HUNTING
Recen ly, {lie IJSC intramural flag football program has
become <>si with violent play. It has be ?me such a
f-viois . that the Intramural Office h . iter' ined
the Kit ing intramural football for t k t s\ wf the

ho have a need for the c( ,ind
flag football provides. 01 . i f. the
vioiciiv the intramural Office will ha\e no uoice
but to t. t he rest of the season
So if _v r>lay intramural football, it would be u ise to tone
down th< intensity of your play. Remain compeiiti\'\ but
notobst -d.
To all .lie Jack Tatums of the Intramural Lea* o, it
would be w ise to forget your head-hunting ambitions before
someone s permanently injured.
Also it would be to your own advantage to take it easy on
those in' -nural referees. Try to remember how little they
get paid and how much abuse they have to take.
