2,000 Hear Wheeler
Speak At Assembly
In Field House
"The Korean war has taught
Anterica two things," Romney
Wheeler, told over 2,000 students,
faculty, and Columbians at the
second monthly assembly program
in the Field house last Friday.
"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.

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.
