Using a new "two-platoon"
svstem... thai combined a flashy
offense wifi a stubborn de'ense,
the Tar Hels rolled to a smash
ing 24-6 victory over t'e South
Carolina Gamecocks yesterday.
The cffen-?e,- led , bv quarter
back Gary Black, halfback Ken
Wills rd and flanker 'Ronnie
Jackson, lit the scoreboard for
thrpe. touchdowns' and a fid
gci vAilc rolling up 445 total
yrrd.5. The Or Hanburgor-led
defence held the Gamecocks to
one long scoring bomb, and
imde shreds oe the USC running
attack.
Earlier in the week, Tir
Heel ccacb Jim Hickey decided
to go with offensive platoons,
and it turned oit to be a stroke
cf genius. With both olatons
getting regular rest, the Tar
Heels almost . ran the Game
cocks of the field.
For the second 4 consecutive
week. Black turned in a brilliant
performance. The senior quar
terback scored two touchdowns
and passed for' the ether. For
the day, Gary had 17 comple
tions in 31 attempts for 208
Once again. Black's favorite
receiver was little Ronnie Jack
son; The Rocky Mount speed
ster bettered his season's total
of receptions by grabbing 8,
tosses for 123 yards, one a 53
yard touchdown bomb.
Big Ken Willard had his best
game of the season for the Big
Blue by amassing 139 yards, 84
in the first half, in 32 carries.
In that first half, the Tar
Heels almost pushed the South
Carolinians off 'f fe f'eld. The
Gamecocks could manage only
on- first dwn n the entire half
wMle the Ta Heels were run
ning and passing for 14.
The Black-led Heels wasted .
no time in getting on the score
board. After . the defense had
forced Jack McCathern to punt, .
the offense took over on their
.own 33. After Willard had picked
up 16 y3rds in two carries on a
new nitchcut play Hickey had
installed for the. game. Black
drored back and threw long for
Jackson. Ronnie was wide open
on the 20 when he gathered the
toss in and scored with 11:53
left in the first quarter.
After Dave Braine's kick was
good, the Tr Heels were penal
ized 13 yards for holding and
"Max Chapman came in to kick
the 35-yard extra point and the
Tar Heels led 7-0..
Late in te quarter, the Heels
began another drive irom their
20. With Willard, Black and Fxi
die Kesler eating up the yard
age the Tar Heels moved to the
USC 27 in 9 plays. With third
and seven at this point, Black
and Jackson combined for a first
down on the 9, . but the attack
bogged dowTi there.
With fourth and goal at the
5-yard line, Braine came in and
kicked a 21-yard field goal and
the. Tar Heels led 10-0 with 3:14
lef t in the quarter. -
After a drive was stopped
when Chapman missed a long;
field goal from the 35 yard line,
the Tar Heels put together a
sustained drive of 78 yards for a
score just before halftime.
After Kesler gained two yards
to the 24, Jchn Atherton made a
great one-hand catch on a Black
aerial that went for 13 yards
and the Tar Heels were on the
march. .

key passes and Willard romp
ing over would-be tacklers, the
Tar Heels moved to a first
down on the Gamecock 16. After
runs by Black and Willard mov
ed the ball to the 7, Kesler bull
ed his way to a first down on the
4. Willard tried tackle twice but
could only move to the 2, and
on third down, Black faked to
Willard and turned his right
end for the touchdown. Braine
kicked the extra point and Caro
lina led 17-0 with 24 seconds left
in the half.
The second half started off
as if it was going to be a repeat
performance. The Tar Heels
took the kickoff and marched
over the Gamecocks for their
third touchdown. Taking the ball
on the 27, Jimmy Eason gained
four yards, then Black hit Jack
son for 12 and a first down.
After a 5 yard penalty, Black
dropped back to pass, -found no
one open, was seemingly trap
ped, but broke loose for a 28
scamper to the Gamecock 34.
Willard picked up a first down
at the 20 in two carries.
With fourth and two on the
12, Willard dove off tackle and
made the first down by, inches.
After Black lost four yards,
Willard smashed for five to the
9. .Jimmy Eason then carried
off tackle to the five where the
Heels had fourth and goal on the
five.
Black then rolled out dodged
two tackles at the line of scrim
mage, twists and turns and falls
into the end zone for the score
with 9:29 left in the third quar
ter. -
With the Gamecocks on the
ropes, Black missed with, his
knockout punch, a long pass
that fell off Willard's hands, and
South Carolina came back to
score its only touchdown.
Taking the ball on their 7, the
Gamecocks moved for a first
down at the 18. With third down,
the officials lost count of the
dowTns and then Hickey sent in
his punt-return team, but the of
ficials finally decided it "was
third down, and penalized the
Tar Heels for illegal substitu
tion. After a pass interference call
gave the Gamecocks another
first down, Reeves threw a 52
yard bomb to Dave Senter, who
took the ball from the grasp of
Dave Braine and Hank Barden.
Chris Hanburger broke in to
smear Reeves on the two-point
conversion attempt and the scor
ing was over for the day with
1:58 to go in the third quarter.
Hanburger once again proved
that he is one of the nation's top
linebackers. Chris had his big
gest day with 11 tackles and 6
assists.
