M. :lash in the annual State Fair ,ame. A "well-handled" crowd of 24, )00 is expected to pack the sta :ium for the 46th meeting of the two state schools. That number will include the student bodies, Gov. J. Strom Thurmond and his bride-to-be, Miss Jean Crouch, U. S. Senators from South Carolina and holders of high state offices, as well as thousands of others fortunate enough to obtain tickets. The governor will sit on the Caro lina side for the first half, then make the customary cross-over to the Clemson side for the second half. Rated as Toss-Up The game has been generally rated as a toss-up, neither team having been able to assemble its forces for an impressive won-lost record. Clemson will bank on its pass ing attack in seeking its second win of the season and 29th in the Fair series. Bobby Gage, the na tion's leader in total offense will do most of the tossing, with Hank Walker furnishing a capable re ceiver. The Gage-Walker combi nation has clicked consistently this year and is responsible for most of the Tiger scoring thus far. The Tigers have been able to score at least two touchdowns on every team they've met this year, except North Carolina State, the national leader in ground defense. Ability to take advantage of "breaks" has featured early Clem son showings; the Bengals were able to score 22 points against Boston College on a minus net rushing yardage. The Gamecock line will be the mainstay of Carolina. This for ward wall will try to hold the not-to-be-underrated Clemson run ning attack, and open up holes to break such speedsters as Bishop Strickland, Freddie Bargiacchi, Ernie Lawhorne and Jack Couch into the open field. The Atwell-to-Wilson aerial combine, which clicked for two touchdowns against Furman, will he in for its share of offensive duties, as the Clemson line has demonstrated ability to prevent opponents from relying purely on (Continued on Page 10 cnt Organ Recital nTrinity Church He will present "Concerto No. 13" (The Cuckoo .and the Night ingale), by Handel Allegro, "Pre lude and Fugue in C minor" by Bach, "Piece Heroque" by Franck, "Aria" by Peeters, and other se lections.
