teams are from
the fraternity circuit with two

The defending campus champs,
Sigma Nu, went through their

winning six straight games. The
Sigma Nu's meet the Pi Kappa

great. Jack says he gets a big
kick out of "handing the ball off
in the backfield and watch the
opposing team tackle the wrong
frame of this "Little Man." He
carried the ball seven times for
41 yards giving him an average
of 5.8 yards per carry. In the
pass receiving department Carl
lead all camers with three catches
for 31 yards. He also punted the
Roosters out of many holes with
a 37-yard average per boot.
A much overlooked aspect of
Brazell's game is his outstanding
defensive play. Little Carl has
proven that size means nothing
in defending against the taller
pass receivers that most teams
send downfield to pull in the
aerial efforts of their backfield.
Brazell has been seen on many
occasions pulling himself up over
the heads of the taller pass receivers and coming down with the
ball or making sure the pass Is
incomplete. His outstanding defensive play has helped to rate
his team second in the conference
in pass defense.

Brazell is a Columbia boy who
played his high school football,
basketball, and baseball, out at
Dreher. His senior year found
him making All State off of the
