PAUL PHILLIPS, Sports Edtor BOS BLAKELY TOM CARR PAUL PHILLIPS_ The-Bird Cull. Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock the Gamecocks will take of "little" Wofford. The underdogs have not lost a game agains other South Carolina teams since 1947. They will be cominj to Columbia with the intention of beating the Gamecocks. The Terriers' "bite will be bigger than their bark," wa: the way Coach Enright expressed it. : The problem of overconfidence is not a new one at Caro lina. Remember way back in 1950, The Citadel beat us an< that game was one of our "breathers?" The Gamecock should win by three or more touchdowns, if they are thi "Fighting Gamecocks" that Enright has been trying to get The probable lineups for the Gamecocks will be: Offen sive-Duckett, Bennett, ends; Early, Brown, tackles; Wilsoi (Ed), Lovell, guards; Berry, center; Balka, qb; Wilsoi (Gene), lh; Drawdy, rh; Johnson, fb. Defensive-Clarke Latorre, ends; Early, Kopec, tackles; Mincevich, Defore guards; Cunningham, Bell, lb; Korn, Mullis, hb; Kerr, safety WHY BOO THE OFFICIALS? Many long years ago, way back to the time this writei was going to high school, the practice of booing the official: at football games was frowned upon. Of course this was onl3 a high school, and a damyankee high school at that, but stil school spirit did not suffer because the student body did no1 boo a competent official when he called one against us. The practice of booing the officials at the Carolina foot ball games seems to be increasing in popularity. Some sa3 that they do their booing because they pay their way int< the stadium and therefore have a right to boo. Still other, say that if they do not agree with the officials, then the3 boo. This sounds fairly logical. After all, they are sittink at least 30 yards from the play, with poles and players ir front of them and the officials are only a few yards from the place the rule infraction took place. Many of the penalties are called because of mistakes mad( in the line. The actual infraction is often not seen from the sidelines, and yet some Monday morning quarterback, sittinp up in the stands with a blond and a bottle, usually both hall gone, can call the play with one eye and half a load. CarolinE has strived and succeeded in having the best of the Southerr Conference officials call the Gamecock games. They do s good job; the guy with the big, loud boo would do a lousy one if he were out there calling them. It all boils down to the fact that if you like good sports, be one.

Billy Stephens played baseball with Bluefield, W. Va. last summer, batting a very healthy .321, including 1I doubles. Last spring, Billy played for Coach Ted Petoske3 and the Gamecock nine. He also won his letter in football as the safety man for Rex Enright last season. Dwane Morrison has been added to the faculty to coaci "B" squad basketball. "DD" was the high scorer for th4 Carolina cagers last year, averaging almost 20 points pel game. Another man from last year's starting basketball five Mickey Best, is now coaching at Camden Academy. Beside: basketball, "Mick" is doing a little baseball coaching. Murray Seaman and his crystal ball are back again thi. season. Murray is hoping to improve on his 78.3 average fron last year. His first predictions are carried on this page. This year's Gamecock varsity come from 12 states in cluding: New Jersey (4), Florida (2), West Virginia (2) Indiana (2), Pennsylvania (2), Louisiana (1), New Yorl (1), Michigan (1) and Massachusetts (1). South Carolinm leads the parade with 29 native sons on the sqtuad, witl Georgia contributing 10 and North Carolina seven. Broken down into classes, the squad is composed of la seniors, 18 juniors, 21 sophomores, and 14 freshmen. Nineteen South Carolina counties, Orangeburg, Kershaw Darlington, Marlboro%, Greenwood, Horry, Lee, Laurens, Rich land, York, Sumter, Florence, Greenville, Calhoun, Charles tn. Georgetown. Union and Anderson are represented. Co-Captains For '52 The Gamecocks' co-captains, .John "Lip" Latorre, left, and Walt Shea will lead the team through the'1952 season. Latorre is scheduled to start at leftend on the defensive team. Latorre, 6-0, 180 pounds, was voted to West Virginia's all-opponents team last year. He was on the Gamecocks varsity basketball team in 1950-51, scoring 19 points as a reserve forward. End Coach red l'etosky considers Latorre the state's best defensive end. Walt Shea, 6-3, 190 pounds, plays mostly on offense. Last season he caught seven passes for 164 yards, including two touchdowns. Back in 1950, Walt was used mostly on defense, but has come into his own since switching over to offense. A member of the Air Force ROTC unit, majoring in physical education, Walt wants to become a coach after he has served his time with the Air Force. Shea also played baseball for Carolina, playing on the varsity in 1951, his last baseball season. He played first base as a regular and batted .193. C H FIS QUALITi T O OF FE R 901 BOTH regular and king-size Chesterfields are premium quality cigarettes and come in the smart white pack. BOTH contain only those proven in greients that make Chesterfields the best possible smoke: the world's best tobaccos, pure, more costly moistening agents (to keep them tasty and fresh), the best cigarette paper that money can buy -nothing else. BOT H are much milder with an ex traordinarily good taste and, from the report of awell-known research organization - no unpleasant after-taste. BOTH are exactly the same in all re spects. There is absolutely no difference except that king-size Chesterfield is larger - contains considerably more of the same tobaccos - enough more to. give you a 21% longer smoke, yet costs little more. Seaman's Ci Picks Clems By MURRAY SEAMAN It's that time of year again! 1 Football season of course. Now is the time when the leaves turn brown and fall off the trees. It also is the time when ordinarily normal people are overcome with a strange hysteria and become fer vent worshippers of elusive half backs and tank-sized -tackles. -Peo ple who live anywhere in the vicinity of a college, and there are so many schools that this means everybody, including your Aunt Agnes, turn out Saturday after Saturday and take their chances on getting laryngitis. Also at this time of the year certain other ordinarily normal people get the screwloose notion that they can predict the outcome of these games. I was bitten with the bug last year and am going to give it another whirl this fall (some dopes never learn). Following a policy of 1951 1 will not pick any Gamecock games, for obvious reasons. Last year I used a crystal ball which by the r time of the Army-Navy game was pretty tarnished and bedraggled. However, it got i good rest over the summer and with constant polishing here's hoping it will carry us through the coming season. Okay, enough gab, now down to 1 business. Georgia Tech over Citadel-This was easy, Citadel shouldn't be on the same field with the Engineers who have been picked by some to be the best in the country. Clemson over PC-Another easy touch. Much as we hate to admit it the Tigers are pretty strongly equipped this year. I)uke over Washington and Lee -The Blue Devils are the pick of the conference. Too much power for the Generals. Davidson over Va. Tech-Here's one more or less a toss-up. Could go either way. Furman over Newberry-Sutton and Co. should prove too much for Newberry. Alabama over Miss. Southern Alabama may come in for some lumps this year but not tomorrow. Georgia over Vanderbilt-Vandy lost its aerial attack when the great Wade graduated. Georgia, of course, is always tough. ESTERFI-E PRE CdC 1REGULA.I ASK YOUR DEALER FOR CHESTERFIELD - EITH ER WAY YOU LIKE 'EM LARGET SELING C ystal Ball on, Furman Maryland over Missouri-The )ad boys of the Southern Confer nce in a breeze. Even Jim Tatum idmits Maryland is great. Villanova over Kentucky-This hould produce one of the best irawls of the (lay. Although it ould go either way our coin landed or Villanova. Baylor over Wake Forest 3outhwestern brand of football hould prove too much for the )eacons. William and Mary over VMI lnother of those toss-ups. Mississippi over Memphis State -Some of these teams make pre licting a soft touch. Florida over Stetson - Even vithout baseball bound Sullivan, lorida should have no strain in his interstate scrap. Texas over LSU - On paper rexas looms as the pride of the .one Star State, which is saying Ilenty. Too many backs to cope vith. Penn State over Temple-Up in he Nittany Valley they're still nad at Temple for almost beating he 1949 Cotton Bowl team. Texas Christian over Kansas Cansas isn't bad, but TCU is de ending champ of its league. California over College of Pa JUST 2 BLOCK!
