PAUL PHILLIPS, Sport. Eikor BOB BLAKELY TOM CARR PAUL PHILLIPS The-Bird Call. Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock the Gamecocks will take on "little" Wofford. The underdogs have not lost a game against other South Carolina teams since 1947. They will be coming to Columbia with the intention of beating the Gamecocks. The Terriers' "bite will be bigger than their bark," was 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 and that game was one of our "breathers?" The Gamecocks should win by three or more touchdowns, if they are the "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; Wilson (Ed), Lovell, guards; Berry, center; Balka, qb; Wilson (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 writer was going to high school, the practice of booing the officials at football games was frowned upon. Of course this was only a high school, and a damyankee high school at that, but still school spirit did not suffer because the student body did not 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 say that they do their booing because they pay their way into the stadium and therefore have a right to boo. Still others say that if they do not agree with the officials, then they boo. This sounds fairly logical. After all, they are sitting at least 30 yards from the play, with poles and players in 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 made in the line. The actual infraction is often not seen from the sidelines, and yet some Monday morning quarterback, sitting up in the stands with a blond and a bottle, usually both half gone, can call the play with one eye and half a load. Carolina has strived and succeeded in having the best of the Southern Conference officials call the Gamecock games. They do a 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. A Long Road THIS 'N' THAT A recheck on the final standings in the point race for the All Spor ts trophy is as follows: Pi Kappa Phi 638, Sigma Nu 486, Phi Sigma Kappa 457, Sigma Chi 456, Kappa Alpha 404, Pi Kappa Alpha 328, Alpha Tau Omega 298, Sigma AlpIha Epsilon 297, Phi Kappa Sigma 296, Lambda Chi 279, Phi Epsilon Pi 204, Sigma Epsilon 180 and Kappa Sigma 62. Billy Stephens played baseball with Bluefield, W. Va., last summer, batting a very healthy .321, including 18 dloubles. Last spring, Billy played for Coach Ted Petoskey 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 coach "B" squad basketball. "D)D" was the high scorer for the Carolina cagers last year, averaging almost 20 points per game. Another man from last year's starting basketball five, Mickey Best, is now coaching at Camden Academy. Besides basketball, "Mick" is doing a little baseball coaching. Murray Seaman and his crystal ball are back again this season. Murray is hoping to improve on his 78.3 average from 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 York (1), Michigan (1) and Massachusetts (1). South Carolina leads the parade with 29 native sons on the siquad, with Georgia contributing 10 and North Carolina seven. Broken down into classes, the squad is composed of 14 seniors, 13 juniors, 21 sophomores, and 14 freshmen. Nineteen South Carolina counties, Orangeburg, Kershaw, D)arlington, Marlboro%, Greenwood, Horry, Lee, Laurens, Rich land, York, Sumter, Florence, Greenville, Calhoun, Charles tn. Georgetown. Union and Anderson are represented. Co-Captains For '52 ... RE. 0 The Gamecocks' co-captains, John "Lip" Latorre, left, and Wall 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 Ted l'etosky considers l.atorre 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 to:chdowns. Back in 1950, Walt was used mostly on defense, but has come into his owr since switching over to offense. A member of fhe 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 basebal ieason. He played first base as a regular and hatted .193. CH. FIRST QUALIfl TO OFFER 801 BOTH regular and king-size Chesterfields are premium quality cigarettes and come in the smart white pack. BOTH contain only those proven in Ieiients 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 tr~aordinarily good taste and, from the report of a well-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 C Picks C1em By MURRAY SEAMAN It's that time of year again! 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 time of the Army-Navy game was pretty tarnished and bedraggled. However, it got a 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 business. Georgia Tech over Citadel-This was easy, Citadel shouldn't be or the same field with the Engineers who have been picked by some tc be the best in the country. Clemson over PC-Another eas3 touch. Much as we hate to admil it the Tigers are pretty strongl3 equipped this year. Duke over Washington and Lee -The Blue Devils are the pick oi the conference. Too much powei for the Generals. Davidson over Va. Tech-Here' one more or less a toss-up. Coulc go either way. F u man over Newberry-Suttoi and Co. should prove too much foi Newberry. Alabama over Miss. Southern Alabama may come in for som lumps this year but not tomorrow Georgia over Vanderbilt-Vand; lost its aerial attack when th great Wade graduated. Georgia, o course, is always tough.

Even Jim Tatum admits Maryland is great. Villanova over Kentucky-This should produce one of the beat brawls of the day. Although it could go either way our coin landed for Villanova. Baylor over Wake Forest Southwestern brand of football should prove too much for the Deacons. William and Mary over VMI Another of those toss-ups. Mississippi over Memphis State -Some of these teams make pre dicting a soft touch. Florida over Stetson - Even without baseball bound Sullivan, Florida should have no strain in this interstate scrap. Texas over LSU - On paper Texas looms as the pride of the Lone Star State, which is saying plenty. Too many backs to cope with. Penn State over Temple-Up in the Nittany Valley they're still mad at Temple for almost beating the 1949 Cotton Bowl team. Texas Christian over Kansas Kansas isn't bad, but TCU is de fending champ of its league. California over College of Pa JUST 2 BLOCK Ihlas t'.
