S Coach Norman has worked steadily ; and patiently since the freshmen turned out, and has been rewarded by the development of a heavy, powerful, and ... smooth functioning Biddie eleven. Earl J Clary, flashy quarterback and erst while Gaffney High School backfield :> ace, has made himself known by his superb playing against the P. C. freshmen. ^ ; A running mate of Clary's is Lewis ^ Kerpec, who is bound to cause the Clemson clan plenty of trouble with his ^ battering ram tactics. Barentine and y Cason furnish Clary with sensational ^ interference, as do the heavyweight ;r. '! linemen. Turner, promising backfield j | ?candidate, missed several days of prac- ( tice this week due to illness. The outcome of the freshman clash ^ ; H on Wednesday will bear a great deal of influence upon the outcome of the j varsity struggle the following day. Call H it psychology, jinx, hoo-doo, or any- ' thing desirable, but for the past few years as the freshmen have fared so has the varsity. Consequently much interest is being centered around the * ffl freshman scrap. f BKAT CLEMSON I * THIS WEEK'S 1 . BIG GAMES 1 THURSDAY Clemson vs. South Carolina. SATURDAY (S. I. A. A.)

FUTURE FOOTBALL TEAM IN ACTION Every afternoon of the week the 1940 football team of the University of South Carolina may be seen practicing on the green near Sloan College. They take their daily workouts just as seriously ak the present varsity. Sometimes they even exceed them in seriousness of purpose as the frequent fisticuffs will testify.
