line at the Gamecocks and de-
fed them to pass. South Caro-
lima threw three passes in the
first half, and averaged only Q
yards on six competitions in the
last five minutes when 1t trailed
by 81 points.
1t was ironical, almost conf
cal, that the first pass that
South Carolina threw was so far
off line that 1t went smack into
the hands Of a Clemson student
dressed as a tiger. who was
cavorting on the sidelines.
Since Maryland has to play
both teams, starting with South
Carolina here a week from to-
morrow, and at Clemson on No.
vember IA, the Terps had three
scouts in the stands. Charley
Guy, Bernie Reid and ALI Sat-
terf1eld. did the note taking fol-
Coach Tom Nugent.
Clemson has a big, tough line
the two best quarterbacks or
any team in the conference in
White and Lowndes Shingler, q
solid fullback in Doug Cline and
two workmanlike halfbacks in
George Usry and Doug Mathis
And Clemson isn't hurting
much when it plays the second
line.
Injuries Hurt Game Cocks
South Carolina, riddled by
injuries where they hurt the
most. had only one back who
made more than Is yards
against the Tigers. That was
Phil Lavoie. the stand-in for
John Saunders, the all-confer-
ence fullback who broke a COL
larbone on the third play of
the opening game. Saunders
suited up. but didn't play yes
terday. He may play against
Maryland. Lavoie made A
yards in IL trips.
The Gamecocks lack an ex-
perienced quarterback, and
Warren Giese, the former
Maryland assistant, used the
shuttle system for five differ
ent quarterbacks yesterday. But
none was effective. Opposing
coaches point out that the
Gamecocks have good passing
patterns. but they don't pass
enough to become effective.
On the ground, South Caro-
lima gained 3 yards in the last
half against North Carolina
and rs yards in the first half
against Clemson yesterday. So
it's not the strength of the
ground game that makes the
GamecockS stick to the turf,
it's GieSe's stubborn refusal to
pass until desperate.
Praises Clemson
Warren pointed to the mex
perience Of his quarterbacks,
but he praised the Clemson de-
tense.
This was one of the finest
efforts I've ever seen on the
part Of a fotball team" Giese
said, referring to the Tigers.
Clemson's first touchdown
was a beautiful 30-yard-pass
from White to Gary Barnes, the
right end, in the second quarter
Barnes cut over and took the
ball about the 20, was hit on the
five but tumbled into the left
corner Of the end zone.
Just before halftime, Bob
Morgan of the Tigers recovered
a tumble on the Gamecock IT..
Usry made a tremendous catch
OF Whites pass on the four, and

ond half, and on the next play

zone with a 26-yard pass.
