The basketball Gamecocks run
into their first stiff test of the
infant season tomorrow night in
the Field House when they meet
the Yellow .Jackets from Georgia
Tech.
Coach Frank .Johilson's has
keteers go into this game sporting
an 80-point -average from their
whitewashings of Citadel and New
berry. However Tech is expected to
be a much more high-powered ball
team than either the Bulldogs or
the Indians.
Although they were thoroughly
trounced by the Parris Island Ma
rines, 90 to 58, in their initial out
ing last week, Coach John Hyder's
team will be decidedly stronger
than the score indicates. Hyder
has three of last year's regulars
plus several good newcomers to
the varsity.
Guard Teeter Umstead, forward
Pete Silas, and center Bill Cline
accounted for 45 points against the
Marines. All three are from last
year's team. Silas was a pre-season
all Southeastern conference choice.
The rest of the starting five will
include Peden Templeton at for
ward and Eric Crake at guard.
Mickey Best, who has been out
of the Gamecock lineup because of
an ailing ankle will make his first
appearance of the season. He prob
ably will start, although - Randy
Coleman and Frank Wright have
been pushing him for the position.
Don Cox, Dwane Morrison and
John Peterson are sure starters. As
Morrison's running mate, Coach
Frank Johnson must choose be
tween Tom Hofferth and Jack
Wise. Hofferth starred in the Cita
del game and Wise did likewise in
the Newberry runaway.
Going into this game, the home
forces boast an amazing 44.1 field
goal percentage. Captain Cox is the
leader, having dropped eight of his
fifteen attempts for a 53.3 average.
Next in line is Morrison with 46.8.
Morrison is also high scorer having
thrown in 28 against Citadel and
22 against Newberry.
Tomorrow's fray will be the last
one before the Christmas holidays.
The next home game will be New
Year's eve wvhen the University of
Pennsylvania will be here. The
Quakers boast one of the powers
of the nation this season. In a
pre-season poll, a national maga
zine rated them 22nd.
Penn will feature one of the out
standing players in the country in
junior pivot man Ernie Beck. Beck,
although only fi'4", was the leading
rebounder of the country in 1951
with an average of 20 per game.

Lead Over I
By MIKE LOVEJOY
Ten. 29 surged ahead of the pack
in the second week of play over in
Indepondent League No. 2 by stop
king the Sigma Epsilon Club, 8-7,
in one of t he most dramatic games
of the season, last Pearl Harbor
day.
The two teams went down to the
iral few minutes of the first half
ini a scoreless deadlock which was
broken by a 30-yard pass from
"Tut" Vernon to Harold Smith who
took the pass in the end zone. The
try for extra point was no good.
Ten. 29 came back in the fourth
quarter and Ralph Gregory stopped
a Sig Eps player behind the goal
line after Philip Moody sent a tow
ering punt down the field. The Sig
Eps scored a few seconds later.
This win gives Ten. 29 two wins
and no losses.
The other game in this same
league saw the NROTC stop the
P. T. All-stars, 7-0, last Friday
afternoon.
Over in Independent League No.
1 Ten. 24'. assumed the lead by
virtue of their two wins and none
lost record. This past Wednesday
saw them soundly trounce Ten. 2
& 3, 32-0. Two passes, of 35 and
40-yards, to Bob Mlcnnis, saw pay
dirt and a plunge through the mid
de by Mac McAllister, from two
yards, made up for the third TD
in the first half. The score at the
half was 19-0.
The score remained the same
until late in the third quarter when
another pass to McInnis, covering
40 yards, saw the promised land.
Just before the final whistle Jut
son Fulmer pulled in a .40-yard
aerial and he also went over for
