Nat Burgess-End Leonard SPORTS rom Mhe tIILL-SIDE By GORDON HILL, Jr. THE END OF THE TRAIL After playing eight unpredictable games, the Gamecocks con up to their last game of the season tomorrow to meet Pen State-one of the strongest teams on their schedule. Pen State has been beaten only twice and both of those defeats can early in the season. All the other games have been won by two to six touchdown margin. As the season has progressed, the Nittany Lions have Ricked up like a rolling snowball and it will take a red hot team to make 'em melt. If the Gamecocks were in the condition they were at the first of the season, we feel sure that they could stop the Lions but with the line-up look fing like n. jumbled croam-word puzzle, it's hard to say. But don't forget that there will be 13 seniors out on the fiel tomorrowv wo will strut their stuff because they wvill be wea ing the Garnet and Black for the last time. So all in all, o believe the Penn Staters will go into the game like a lion but ii come out like a lamb. THE GAMECOCK'S ALL-STATE It is customary for The Gamecock sports editor to select a All-State team. If there's a single reader who would agr( with me on all eleven positions, I wouldn 't think he had a mini of his own. But here goes... E-Steve Nowak, South Carolina. T-Bobo Carter, South Carolina. G-Ritchie Belser, The Citadel. 0-Louis Sossamon, South Carolina. G-Bill Applegate, South Carolina. T-George Fritts, Clemson. E-Joe Blalock, Clemson. B-Stan Stasica, South Carolina. B-Booty Payne, Clemson. B-Al Grygo, South Carolina. B-Dutch Elstori, South Carolina. When an All-State team is selected, I believe it should I made on the basis of the performance of the p)layers in the Stai galpes andl this is what I tried to do. I sincerely believe thn Gamecocks should dominate hecause of the stellar perfornmanc< of the individual Birds in their State games with Clemson, TI Citadel and Furman. MUSINGS .. .
