"First," he said, "Russia has proved that she will not furnish active aid to her satellite nations in time of war; and second, we must maintain constant vigilance in the future." Wheeler, recently returned from the Far East where he served over two years on General MacArthur's staff, pointed out that the Korean war marks the end of Russia's first five-year plan of military aggres sion and the beginning of a second five-year plan in which Russia plans for satellite nations to carry on the offense. "In Korea, the Russians lost their gamble," Wheeler said, "but the United States is partly re sponsible for the aggression be cause our diplomatic policy had given every indication that we would not intervene in the East." He urged the United States to challenge Russia to stop aggres sion and help make the United Na tions an honest organisation. Key Ri -ma - m rtu ere G.htob an .a or For 5 P.

Field I COCKS!!! Big Thursday Classic At 2 P.M. Tomorrow Clemson Slight Favorite In Forty-Ninth Renewal By L. C. TANK ERSLEY Sports Editor Whether they go to see the game, the new fall styles or just to see old acquaintances and to make new ones, or maybe a combination of all three, between 34,000 and 35,000 fans will file into Carolina stadium tomorrow at 2 p. m. for the forty-ninth state fair meeting of the Carolina Gamecocks and the Clemson Tigers. It is an official holiday, this Big Thursday affair, and it constitutes the biggest tangle anywhere within the boundaries of this historic state, no matter what the sport and no matter what the time. That's the way it has been for half a century, more or less, with the only change being the higher and higher status of the event with the passing of each year. Some make predictions on the outcome of these annual encounters but seldom ever without observing a moment or two of meditative hesi tation. Those who have seen fit to "go out on a limb" pick Clemson as the team with men to win, say by seven points. But the wiser sages of the world of sports sit back in silent anticipation, uncomfort ably shying away from any sort of commitment. Yet some men obtain food, shelter and clothing by virtue of their uncanny ability to gaze into the future and they also pick Clemson. Why? Because Tigertown inhabitants have piled up a total of 116 points to none for their three opponents, namely, Presbyterian College, Missouri and North Carolina State. Carolina's record is not quite as imipressive as the Tigers' where total points are concerned nor is the won-lost column as enviable, but it is generally agreed that Rex Enright's Camecocks have come forth with a better showing than in many y.ars-a better showing of what they have done and, what's more important, what they are capable of doing come the dawn. The Enrightmen have lost to l)uke and have gone on from there to whip highly rated (;eorgia Teeh andl Furman. That is proof enough that the tables colId be tiired with very little trouble. A single slip by one team could easily mean victory for the other since records of the season will iean Ilttle or not hing tomnorrow and it could be that they night just as well ibe tirown to the autunn breezes. Both teams have backfields equal to mst in the" hat ion, with lines which are capable of holding their own against most comjiet it ion no matter from whence they come. That spells power against power, stone wall against stone wall, man against main and act ion and excitement in general. Coach Frank Howard will bring to the ca Pital city a team that most say is far superior to the undefeated sLnid of 1948 and he will send them against a te'am which has m)ore than once prloved that the stronger the competition the hbetter. Both teams are also rated among the to1p 37 in the nation, and thet e are undoubatedly an abundant number' of states which cannot trot hfully boast of two such squads at the same time. The Carolina "T"' format ion attack will be led by St eve WVadiak and Bishop Sticik land in the h:alfback spots. Ed Pasky or Dick Halka at quarterback anid Chuck P'reziosoa at fullback, if he is abhle' to perform. All are great backs, as are Block inc Back Windyatl Windham , Fullback Fred Cone and I lalfbacks .1 ack ie C'alvert and Ray .latt hews of the Tiger single wing pattern. But don't give all the credit to t hese nmena, for eaich running play for either teal) will be' begun behind thi icapable linemen wh)o make it p)ossible for the backfielid to perform, and it is the linemen who fix it so that the ball leav'es the passer's hand in the gienieral direction of a r.eceiver. Also, in these days of two platoons, it's the dhefenaders almost as the offensive siquaid who p)rodluce the' stairs. Added to the ever-piresent ten)siion in) the stands during these giant meets and the battle on the field, is the duel between two great coaches, Enright and Howard. The latter will be trying to even the score this time, partly because of the (Gamecock wvin last year and partly due to the fact that during his mentorship, Enright has led the Birds to four v'ictories against three idefeats in Carolina-Clemnson encouanters. There fore, this game will mean ev'en miore to the coac'hes than usual, par ticularly since both tieamns are recognizeid as being among the better coached teams of the nation this season. Thus, with thi' spirit of rivalry so strong betwi'en cioaches, fans andl player's, in reatlity there is no favoriti' and previous recordls are just unimportant names and figures. Tomorrow is Big TIhursiday, and it could go either way. louse Tonight
