USC, 13-1-2 and No. 1 in the nation, took control early against the Dolphins. Only three minutes into the game, Doug Allison scored oil' a header in the goal box. " The ball popped up, and I headed it," Allison said. "It hit someone, but it was going in anyway." At the 11:0H mark, the Gamecocks struck again as Pat Walsh scored off a corner kick. A /\rni /\rniiu>rsst>ii was gtMiig iui l he Iron I post," Walsh said. "It just went over Scoti Cook, and I was there." The hall was in front of the Dolphins' goal for much of the first half as Jacksonville couldn't mount any offensive threats. "We basically forced the issue from the beginning," USC head coach Mark Berson said. "Some things started to click for us." Things were clicking at 21:58, when Walsh scored again. "One of their guys tried to pass it back to the goalkeeper, and ii went in," Walsh said. "I was closest to the ball."

Jim Sonefeld chipped a free kick over the Dolphin defense to a rushing Marty Haltzegar, who beat the goalkeeper and made it 4-0. "The forward didn't come back and mark me," Balt/egar said. "Jim saw me running in. When I got the ball, 1 felt I was all alone." The first half ended with USC outshooting the Dolphins 13-0 and making wholesale changes throughout the lineup. The second half featured a different cast of Gamecock characters, but the results were the same. Phil Scitlcnburg converted a Clark Hrisson pass at 58:33 to make it 5-0. "I got a great through ball from Clark Hrisson," Seidcnburg said. "I kind of fumbled with it and had to cut it." Hrisson also created the final goal at 79:58. The freshman from Raleigh, N.C., dribbled in from the right side and passed across the goal mouth to Jeff Love, who scored from point blank. "I'm extremely proud of the way these guys played," Herson said.

The Gamccocks host the Metropolitan Life Classic Nov. 7-8 at The Graveyard. The tournament will feature Akron, Boston University and William and Mary. IJSC will play William and Mary Saturday at 3 p.m. and Boston Sunday at 3 p.m. "1 think it's gonna be the premiere event for soccer here in the Midlands," Bcrson said. Sunday's shutout was USC's 11th of the season. Carolina has outscored its opponents 55-6. Charlie Arndt is allowing an average of only .38 goals per game. Allison's goal Sunday was his team-leading 13th of the season. USC's all-time leading scorer, the Barnstaple, England, native has 59 goals and 31 assists. If the Gamecocks maintain their No. 1 ranking in both the South and the nation, they would virtually be assured home-field advantage throughout the NCAA playoffs. .s unleash vy?7 M. * W , m pi - - V^S- \ K Jg?| ?8 TRACY HOW IE/The Gamecoc* t stand around Saturday.

He brought 10-gauge shotgun shells. He didn't bring these shells for the Gamecock fans who leave early after the winner of the game is determined nor for the Pirates, who turned out to be a rather belligerent bunch. No, he brought these shells for the cannon, which was given to the Gamecocks by the Horry County Gamecock Club in 1979 and is used every time the Gamecocks score a touchdown or a field goal. Once again, Sanders left with a load much lighter than the one he came in with. Sanders, who has been shooting the cannon off for the past two seasons, shook his head affirmatively when asked if he brought more am munition this year in expectation of a more potent USC offense. "We're shootin' the hell out of this thing this year," he said. "And we're gonna shoot even more for Clemson." That may indeed be the case if the Tigers play defense the way they did Saturday, when they allowed former Hast Carolina victim North Carolina State to score 30 points in the first half. That may indeed he the case if USC quarterback Todd L-llis has another performance like the one he had Saturday, when he threw for a c from T! overt' den Ala Vi( JOS A THAN mt.UAMS/Ihe C.amrcock ionully.
