RALPH GREGORY, Spore Edstor Mike Lovejoy Irv Liskov Bill Liggett Marry Semean Hi, Sport! By MORDECAI PERSKY Guest Sport Eat Ali About It! The policeman wouldn't let us drive through the traffic to Main Street, so we hopped out of the car at Sumter and Senate and ran through the park, tipping our confetti to Gen eral Hampton as we passed. When we got to the general's hotel coffee shop, we ad justed our T-shirt to accentuate the V-neck on the sweater covering it, and entered. Sports Editor Gregory was already there waiting for the picnic. The Clemson editors had come still earlier and gone out for some fresh air to whet their appetites. A little later leering News Editor Novit came in and the three of us awaited the Tiger staffers. They came in, after a minute or two, blushing green and holding their meal at arm's length. After the formalities of introduction, proceedings lapsed into the eating proper. On lookers gathered on the inside and outside. Tommy Teal of Munn-Teal studios exploded a few flashbulbs that gave the supposedly-doomed men courage. After doing away with as much of their rag as they could stomach, the Tiger's Meiburg, Henry, and Kohn (who turned out to be the best of sports, in spite of a touch of humiliation), ordered a big coffee shop meal. Bill Novit, still feeling pretty chipper about the whole thing, stayed on to share their company. But the Gamecock's editor and sports editor, with only Steward's Hall endurance tests to their credit, left holding weak hands over their intestines. This was their first ex perience in watching paper-eating. They didn't feel so good. Quotes From The "Head" Frank Howard, casually called the "Head" by his ad mirers, made another of his matter-of-fact post-mortems after the game. "We got," Frank said, "the hell beat out of us." Last year, when Clemsonians complained of the rain on the field, Howard told the press that "both teams played on the same field." The two quotations show so much common sense that we were a little shocked to hear the following gem, uttered by Head before last Thursday: "South Carolina and Wake Forest would give their right arm to beat me, but they won't." Come on offa that, Frank, those Deacons have a power house. Backs and Centers Star According to a report from the Clemson practice field, one of Howard's pre-game strokes of genius was an intention to forcibly !eline 15O-pound Gamecock Quarterback John Gramling. If that report has any truth in it, then the advent of Big Dick Balka as an offensive threat may have been the big wrench in the Tiger works. Balka called tem well all after noon, and his proficiency with handling the ball and execut ing the old sneak play came as a pleasant surprise to a lot of Bird rooters. In team victories, and this game definitely was one, singling out individual stars approaches tie sinful. Still in all, it's hard to resist singling out a position where the Game cocks were covered three-deep in men who delivered any where from all-Southern to all-American performances last week. Centers Harry Jabbusch, Leon Cunningham, and Larry Smith all made big impressions with their Thursday's work. Despite a relatively unimpressive afternoon, Steve Wadiak again emerged as the game's leading ground gainer. Billy Stephens, who played bang-up defensive ball to top off his punt return, rated a slight edge over Jabbusch as Gamecock of-the-Day. Once We Were Sure... The first thing we did when we got outside the stadium was kick the dust--just to make sure it was there. It was. It was there and it was dry. Drier than a week-old orange peel. So we went home to Tiger-hunt on Main Street. A few Tigers came out on the street corners for the first time on Saturday night and huddled together self-consciously. They tried to look unconcerned, but they wouldn't have fooled Admiral Smith at four o'clock in the morning. Sunday night they went back to school without having formulated this year's explanation. It wasn't right, and we figure It can't last long. Back together in the hills, they are a good bet to find some official reason why this year's Out size Thursday was the biggest kind of fluke.

'STL SELLING Ci teAfield rOR here To: Colonials Featu Attack Led By By RALPH GREGORY Sports Editor George Washington's Colonials, led by All-America candidate Andy Davis, invade Carolina Sta dium tomorrow afternoon for a Southern Conference scrap with USC's Gamecocks, who will be led by another All-America contender, Steve Wadiak. A wide open pass ing game is expected with GW rely ing almost exclusively on the air arm of Davis. A crowd of about 20,000 is expected for the 2:00 get together. The Gamecocks go into the scrap a slight favorite after their deci sive upset win over Clemson last week, 20-0. George Washington was held to a 19-19 tie by Furman. Carolina has a 3-2 record for the year and the Colonials sport a 1-4-1 mark. The Gamecocks won last year in a free-scoring affair, 34-20. Most of the George Washington offense is pinned on the passing arm of Davis, a 165-pound tailback who is very close to setting a new national offense record for a col lege career. Davis is the 5th ranked offense leader in the con ference. His aerials got all three of the GW touchdowns in last year's fray. To receive Davis' passes the Colonials have Bino Barriera, a 150-pound blocking back. Despite his small height, 5 feet, 6 inches, Barriera is sixth in pass receiving in the Southern con ference and is ninth in rushing. To relieve Davis of his passing chores the Colonials can call on Bob Cilento, number one fullback on last year's eleven. Cilento com pleted 35 out of 61 passes in 1950 and led George Washington scorers with six touchdowns. The GWU line is big and power ful with most of the strength con centrated in the middle. Guards AILDN 10 UNPLEI AFTER-TA DONLY CHESTER' .i . .. - 4 td mIorrow reStrong Aeriaj Davis, Cilento Art Kojoylan and Bob Allwine and center John Yednock, all seniors, are the core of the defense. End Dave Shiver is one of the most out. standing defensive ends that the Gamecocks will meet all season. The outstanding defensive back is Davis who plays both offense and defense. The rest of the team is loaded with freshmen and sophomores who have shown up well in early games against some of the best teams in the nation, including Wake Forest, Georgia and Mary. land. The Gamecocks, still rejoicing over their win over a strong Clem. son team, will rely on their old faithful, Wadiak, and the passing of Johnny Gramling and Dick Balka to offset Davis' threats. The rest of the backfield will consist of Bobby Drawdy and Hootie John. son. Chief pass receivers are Wadiak and ends W. A. Skelton, Clyde Bennett and Walt Shea. The aefensive line has been working hard on rushing the passer to help the pass defense that ap peared so strong against Clemson last week. Billy Stephens and Nor ris Mullis are the top defensive backs. Linebackers Harry Jab. busch and Leon Cunningham lend strength to a solid forward wall paced by tackle Don Earley and ends Bob Kahle and John "Lip" Latorre. Carolina's defensive line was the outstanding feature of the Clemson game, consistently rushfV the Tiger tailback, Billy Hair, ua holding him to 20 yards rushing. Both teams are in good physical shape for the game. The lineups: Geo. Wash. S. Carolina LE-Reilly ...... Skelton LT-Bosmans .... . Camp LG-Kojoyian .. . Gargano C-Yednock ............
