He added that the North Viet namese commander may be able to start another push later, out not for several weeks.

U.S. B52 bombers, which have been pounding potential North Vietnamese escape and supply routes in that sector, staged a saturation raid on suspected troop concentrations 14 miles northeast of Dak To.

A field dispatch said there were some casualties. American artillery, silenced a while during a memorial service for 99 men of the 173rd Airborne Brigade's 2nd Battalion who lost their lives in the battle of Dak To, responded with coun-terfire. GIs arranged empty boots on top of a hill at Fire Support Base 12 to represent the dead, whose names were read in roll call. Lt. Gen.

William Rosson, U.S. commander in the 2nd Corps Area, saluted the fallen and said theirs was an "incom parable example of American ism." Casualty counts for both sides in the three-week battle edged up slightly above figures reported by the U.S. Command Friday. Officers at Dak To said 285 Americans, 48 government regulars and 1.455 of the enemy had been killed. There were 988 American wounded and 18 miss ing.

The South Vietnamese had 184 wounded.

Government troops outnumbered about two to one repelled, with air and artillery support, the biggest of the enemy onslaughts. The troops tunned back three human wave assaults by a Viet Cong battalion of about 400 men in a fight near Phuoc Binh, 75 miles north of Saigon and 30 miles east of Loc Ninh, a district headquarters town on the Cambodian frontier where the Reds' dry season offensive got off to a poor start last month. A government spokesman said the troops killed at least 110 of the raiders, while losing six dead and 40 wounded.

He said they captured five machine guns, two flame throwers and 22 Chinese-made AK47 assault rifles. Twenty-eight South' Vietnamese, including 17 civilians, were reported killed elsewhere. Fourteen of the mortar attacks centered on South Vietnamese cities, hamlets and military po sitions in the delta, parts of which the Viet Cong have held for 20 years. A company of the U.S. 25th In fantry Division, on a sweep op eration 36 miles northwest of Saigon, came under attack with small arms, automatic weapons and grenades in a 15 minute firefight.

Two Americans were killed and 23 wounded. Commu nist losses were not determined.

But this day he averaged 6.1 yards the 31 times he touch ed the ball. The speedy iunior scored one touchdown and set up another plus a field goal in becoming the first Clemson player to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season. Also, he is the first in the ACC to repeat as rushing leader. He had 1,045 yards this fall.

The blocking in front of Gore by a strong offensive line, plus the sharp passing ana piay-making of quarterback Jimmy Addison, ending his Clemson ca reer in brilliant fashion, put 23 points on the scoreboard before the outmanned Gamecocks fought back tenaciously. A 39-yard field goal by Arthur Craig with the second quarter 45 seconds old, followed by Gore carrying the Tigers to a touchdown and scoring from the two lust seven minutes later, gave the Upstate team a 10-0 halftime lead. Two pass interceptions, by Kit Jackson and Jimmy Catoe, were the key to thwarting Gamecock plans in the first half. Both came in Clemson territory. The Tigers looked every bit a oowi team, Deiter enao most.

and certainly the best in the ACC as they roared loud in the third quarter. Gore broke away for a 43-yard aunt from his 43 to the Caro- ina 13 for the game's back- breaker midway the third quarter. This was the big play of the day and the season as the Ti gers struck in eight plays for 76 yards. Addison passed to end Edgar McGee for a 11-vard touchdown and when Craig added his second extra point the ngers had a commanding 17-0 lead with 7:15 left in the period. Gore's run was one of the all-time outstanding dashes in the 65 games these teams have battled in the annual rivalry.

Craig missed the extra point but the Tigers seemed to be devouring the Birds with a 23-0 lead and still 5:50 left in the third quarter. Clemson's third interception, taken by Richie Luzzi and re- turned 22 yards, quickly squelched hopes of Mike Fair to get his red-jerseyed team rag. But the Tigers were caught clipping on Luzzi's run- back, and it kept them back on their side of the field. On fourth down at midfield.

when the Tigs couldn't make a first down for two in a row, punter Sammy Cain stood around his 40 waiting to boot. The center snap surprised him and everyone else by sailing far over his head. A 28 yard rundown ensued with Carolina's Dave Lucas winning the chase by recovering at the Clemson 12. This break tipped things to favor the Gamecocks. Fair sneaked over from the one on the fifth play and Caro lina bad broken the shutout with 13:25 left.

Mike tried a two -point play but Catoe intercepted in the end zone. Carolina alertly tried an on-side kickoff and it worked, with Watson recovering at the Gem-son 48.

But a pass interference on end Fred Zeigler gave Caro lina a first down at the Clem son 38. After a first down at the 27 with Fair and Warren Muir combining to make the yardage, Fair was dropped for minus eight on a Tiger blitz.
