as if William and Sutton who lugged the ball 13 times and savagely tore for 123 yards was voted the most outstanding player on the field by sports writers and sportscasters Once again it was a lick struck by their defensive team which got the Tar Heels off and running Late in the first quarter South Carolina in possession on its own 11 sent Bill Tarrer back into the end zone to kick out on fourth down But the Gamecock halfback juggled the snap from center and the eager Maultsby swarmed on his fumble for the Tar Heels on the one-yard line On first down from there Sasser leaped through

later he circled right end two yards for the touchdown All told the elusive 183-pounder carried the ball 12 times and pick ed up a total of 103 yards His performance was remarkable because of the mud and the many small pools on the field Boston University's running attack was smothered by a hard-charging Wollpack line and the watery grounds The Terriers were forced to take to the air and broke into the scoring column in the third period when trailing 34-0 Quarterback Phil O'Connell passed to end John Bredice for a 43-yard scoring play and Capt Ken Ilagerstrom raced 12 yards up the middle
