South Carolina Romps
To 42-to.0 Triumph
Over The Citadel
By me Assoeio.sd Press

CHARLESTON, s. c., Dec. g.
Scoring In every quarter, the Uni
versity Of South Carolina ran and
passed to a 42-0 football rout OF
The Citadel Bulldogs here today
An estimated $4,000 crowd saw
the Southern Conference game,
which was The Citadel's home
coming and which closed the sea-
son for both teams.
While Carolina's offensive
ground out a huge yardage
throughout, the lighter Citadel
eleven was held almost helpless.
Not once did the Cadets take the
ball past midfeld.
Left Halfback Steve Wadiak was
the big gun in the Carolina offen-
sive. He ran the Citadel tackles
and ends ragged and personally
accounted for three Of his team s
six touchdowns. The Gamecocks
got the jump in the opening period
with 56-yard scoring drive which
Wadiak sparked with dashes of IS,
13 and IL yards.
The second Carolina touchdown
was set up by an interception OF
"a pass by Jack Kincaid, South
Carolina defensive back, who
grabbed the ball at the Citadel 40
After an 18-yard pass from
Quarterback Bo Hagan to Wadiak
who lateraled to Strickland. Full
back Chuck Prezioso stormed The
Citadel goal with a dive over the
line.
The Gamecocks brought the
half time score to 21-0 with a So
yard advance that ended with
Wadiak circling end for four yards
to score.
In the third period, Carolina
took advantage of two long pen
alties against The Citadel for per-

The newspaper quoted Tech
Athletic Director w. L. CMonk)
Younger, who spoke unoficially.
Younger asserted, the newspaper
said, that it was his understand
ing that President Walter S. New
man of the Rlacksburg College
planned to take a public stand
in New York that it is impossible
for Tech to abide by the provisions
of the code.
University of Virginia officials
already have announced that the
Charlottesville school was in vio-
.lation of the code. and will not
abide by its provisions.
Violators of the code, which was
adopted in the face of southern
opposition and which is designed
supposedly to curb subsidization
of athletes, face expulsion from
the NCAA and a schedule boycott.
Younger's statement Of Virginia
Techs stand came on the heels
of an announcement from Chicago
which quoted NCAA Secretary
Treasurer K. L. (Tug) Wilson as
calling for the expulsion of seven
active members" of the group
for violation of the code.
Wilson did not identify the
seven schools which have not

started thinking about it and finally
came to the conclusion that my
mother was instrumental in getting
me interested in good books.
AS a child I was sickly, and along
with being sickly I was exceedingly
high strung, so mother had a hard
time figuring a way to keep me
contented and also make sure that /
had all the rest that was necessary
to my growing well and strong. She
must have struck on the idea of
reading aloud to me because she
could keep me quiet and often get
me to sleep by reading to me from
books that interested both of us.
We spent many happy afternoons
reading books of all kinds and de-
scriptions, from "Moby Dick" to a
story about a lost colony of medic
val folk who became lost in the will
derness as they were making a pill
grimage to the Holy Land. They
are still living in their old manners
and customs even to this day. She
also had books on the explorations
of Livingstone in Africa that she
read to me and let me look through
to my hearts content.
From this l would gather that an
adult would have much influence on
the reading habits of the young, if
the time were taken to read aloud
good books that interested both par
ties.
l have started reading to my own
