There were many jitters for the
Jamecocks last Saturday night as a rookie
lead coach sent his team onto the field led

Entering last week's home opener against
Pacific there were many unanswered
questions facing the Gamecocks: how would
he defense hold up against the Tigers'
Dassing attack, would Carolina stick to its
raditional conservative offense, and would
Carolina be able to stop Pacific's special

Coach Richard Bell instituted a new
~azzle-dazzle type offense which proved
successful as well as pleasing to the
Carolina faithful. The Gamecock defense

minimum, allowing Pacific's passing
sensation, Paul Berner, to complete a mere
41 percent ot nis passes, funter cnris

Shealy said that he considers this year a

of his senior class. In their home opener last
week, the Spiders suffered a defeat at the
hands of Virginia Tech, 20-9.

"When you have a number-one draft pick

for the other guys to depend on him too
much," Shealy said. "This year we are
going to have an awful lot of young people
battling for playing time and that makes, for
exciting football."
The Spiders will have the one-two punch of
quarterback Napoleon Dubois and wide
receiver Van McLaughlin,'a North Carolina
transfer, as their most potent offensive
attack. The line is young,but experienced,
with sophomores Greg Hasty and Eddie
Martin at center and guard. They will be
leading the way for backs Jarvis Jennings
and Johnnie Edmonds.
rne strongest point tor tne apiaers is tne
secondary which could give the Gamecock
new-look offense trouble. Veterans Billy
Kohl and Mike London will be at safety
whiie letterman Terry Waller will be at left
corner and sophomore Billy Starke at right.
Both teams will have all their players
available for their second games.
