Red Harrison Coi Most Valuable BE By JOE He isnt a flashy runner wh every time he lugs the leath( He doesn't get headlines for Claud "Red" Harrison is one on the South Carolina footbq will verify this. Harrison is noted for his out standing defensive ability, back ing up the line. For his excellent offensive work last year he was voted the Jacobs blocking trophy. Red was also voted on the All State team and honorable mention for All-Southern. Red's been playing football a long time. He started at Carolina seven years ago and during the war he played with LSU, Jax NAS and a Navy pre-flight club. He served over three years in the Navy and put in three additional seasons, including 1948, with En right's post-war Gamecocks. The affable red-head is a native of Baton Rouge, La. He is 25 years old and is married. He's a senior at Carolina and is playing his last year of college football. He isn't a great ball player, but he is a good, dependable fullback who can be couinted on, for a steady, heads-up sixty minutes of football. Red is quick and sure of himself on defense. He tackles low and hard and invariably nabs the runner breaking away into the secondary. He blocks the same way. It is hard to estimate Harri son's value to the Carolina team. He's an obscure team player, a hard runner but not a flashy ball-carrier. His worth to Enright can be summed up in his fellow players' words: "Red's a ball play er's ball player."

Coach Rex Enright Harrison had a couple of ribs separated during the Furman game and bruised them again against Tulane. His loss was felt heavily against the Greenies and no doubt it hurt Carolina's chances. However, he's in one piece again. The ribs have healed and he'll be ready to go against Clemson this afternoon. When a low, knifing tackle is made today -look for number "38." Three Of Birds' Four Opponents Lost Last Week Three of the four teams Caro lina has yet to face this year suf fered set-backs in sectional and conference play last weekend. Only one-Wake Forest's Demon Deacons - managed to come through with a win, defeating a weaker Duquesne eleven, 41-15. Maryland, performing in the nation's capital, was edged out by an improved Luke university team, 13-12. Penn State had easy-going in their clash with West Virginia, ending up with the top side of a 37-7 score. Tulsa, who appears to have the weakest team Carolina will meet, lost to Georgetown University, 13-7. D ARE LOOKING PLACE TO EAT!

GAMECOCKS RENEW (Continued from Page 1) Ernie Lawhorn are not expected to play at all for the Gamecocks. Fullback Red Harrison and center Lent Ekimoff have been bothered by injuries, but are ex pected to be in the starting line up today. The Clemson squad is expected to be in top shape for the big game with the possible exception of Jay Clantn, wio was injured in the Mississippi State game. A great deal of interest centers about the personal duel between tailback Bobby Gage of Clemson and Bishop Strickland of the Gamecocks. Both of these backs are the main hope of their team's offense and are seeking national honors. The Clemson line is sparked by Frank Gillespie, Southern con ference athlete of the year last year, and Tom Salisbury, giant tackle who made the tackle in last year's game that fans are still talking about. Carolina has a strong line built around the two behemoths at the tackles, Bil Estes and Phil Alex ander. All-state end Red Wilson and dependable fullback Red Har rison will be further obstacles to Clemson progress. Clemson will field a starting lineup today that will include seven of the men who started last year. Carolina has five men who opened the last classic.

The students played and the sport provided good outset, the Clemson-Carolina But football wasn't the major port ati 0rolina until after the turn of the 20th century. Base ball cad been considered the top college game. The reason was evident. Football was just catch ing hold at universities through out the country, while baseball yith its major leagues and trang organization, was more widely ac cepted by the people of America. This newness of the game hadn't begun to wear off before the truitees af biouth Carolina Col lege shocked. the students by abandoning football in 1906. The trustees decided to quit football because the rules were very lax and the chance of in jury was great. The players wore very little protection in those days and they played rough.

Another car toon showed a round table with cigarettes, cards, change, and a bottle entitled "absence of foot ball leads to other games." These pictures. plus a petition circulated among the students asking the trustees to rescind their action, caused the university to permit football to he played again. Carolina students marched to the professors' houses asking for speeches and yelling in "true Gamecock" spirit. The crowd went down Main street in Colum bia cheering and former players of the 1905 team formed a team which ran a series of plays over imaginary old-time opponents. They went in front of the wom en's dormitories and they were joined by the women in the yell ing. That year Carolina played only three ganmes and the season began November 16.

Clemson, especially, with a team not only rated a t but one which has been ranked seventh in the nation by the Williamson system. Clemson's strength seems to lie in the for ward wall, where from one end to the other, the Tigers have speed, depth and experience. The two ends, Oscar Thompson and John Poulos, lack a great amount of v-rsity experience, but were, nevertheless, outstanding per formers in the three games played thus far. Dyer and Hudson are capable reserves. The two starting tackles will be Tom Salisbury and Phil Prince, two of the most talked-about line men in the state. Center is perhaps the weakest spot in the Clemson line, with only one candidate-Gene Moore capable of playing bang-up ball for 60 minutes. Gil Rushton and Jack Brunson, the reserves at center, need experience but are fast and rough. Frank Gillespie, all-Southern in 1946, and Ray Clanton round out the Clemson line. The two guards have played stand-out ball for Clemson this year as well as in the past. Physically, the Clemson Tigers A T T HE '2 . NEXT .
