Birds Meet On The SPORTSIDE By George Zuckerman Dick Little For All-America Press agents throughout the football realm are collecting their six dollar adjectives, and taking snapshots of their gridiron favorites in candid poses such as: writing a letter to mother; kissing the local choice for the screen role of Scarlett O'Hara; accepting the keys to the city from the local bigshot politician; autographing a pigskin for the tot in the hospital whose life depends on a victory. Candidates for the 1937 All-America Football team are in order. Last Saturday between the raindrops that fell on Denny Stadium when the McCallistermen went beneath the Crimson Tide for the third time they floated to the surface with a 20 to 0 defeat. But they salvaged a candidate for the All-America football team. More than little mention in this column has been given to the ex ploits of Dick Little, the Gamecocks' yardage kleptomaniac, whose nomination was placed by Coach Don McCallister. The master of the Carolina brain trust this week has been putting Dexter Fellows to shame with his heraldry of South Carolina's candidate for the Val halla of every football player from the dodger-infested shores of Brooklyn to the celluloid bound coast of California. But Don McCallister is no press agent. So you can believe him. And this is the first time in his three years at the Gamcock helm that he has become so enthused about one of his players to sound the cry of "All-America." So this columnist is going to climb aboard the garnet and black bandwagon of McCallister and Company and shout via, my typewriter in every city room throughout this foot hall-excited universe: "Hold the front page (persoially, we'll set tle for the sports section) we've got the greatest halfback that ever tore up the clod of a Dixie stadium." * * * * * Of A Defeat, A Bell, And A Seer T.feat-like the poi.-tmai-hiis rung twice this season against South Carolina. "And Nevermore" is the cry of the Gamecock sup porters, who remember that the McCallistermen bowed before two of the strongest football machines in the nation, two of the South's leading candidates for the Rose Bowl classie. The Crimson Tide hns gone so often that the coaching staff probably doesn't bother even to watch the scenery on the trip across the continent. Denny Stadium last Saturday was more suitable for making mud pies than playing football. But the Gamecocks, in the opinion of the press, acquitted itself by furnishing the Alabama mud turtles their first real opposition of the season. Student rooters are expecting the chapel bells to toll the sound of Victory after the Davidson skirmish this Saturday. And the more imaginative are looking ahead to Thursday, and waiting for a sound that has been mute on State Fair Day for the past three Autumns. Dexter Fellows could probably dig up one of the Indian Fakirs to peep into a magic crystal and tell what tomorrow and tomorrow's headlines will be. But this columnist will remain a pessimist-or at least not become a loud optimist-and expect the worse, but wish for the best. For there is many a forward pass and fumble ball between today and December third.

Zipp Newman, Birmingham News sports editor, says that Dick Little is "the best back to play against Ala bama. in many years."

Led by Teeny Lafferty, whom many coaches call one of the greatest backs playing the game today, Davidson will be pointing for her first win of the season. Last week V. M. I. took a close 7 to 0 decision over Davidson. The Wildcats were handicapped in the game by the absence of five regulars, Lafferty, guards Heywood Hill and Bill Johnston, center Frank Purdy, and back Bob McClellan. All how ever, will play tomorrow. Coach Don McCallister of the Uni versity of South Carolina predicts a "close game all the way." And with the Gamecocks' bevy of flashy backs clicking, the Wildcats will have to be more than wild to stay in the game. Newly discovered Gamecock Dick Little and his classmate Rock Stroud spent the early part of the week in light practice while recovering from slight injuries suffered in the Alabama game. Both are ready for tomorrow. Tuesday's scrimmage showed a team decidedly improved, despite Coach Mc Callister's dire talk. Against the fresh man team, a tough bunch for any eleven to take on, the varsity showed much strength in running up a 33 to 0 score.
