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.

the safety man for Rex Enright last season.

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

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.

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.

Florida over Stetson - Even

Texas over LSU - On paper
Texas looms as the pride of the

plenty. Too many backs to cope

Penn State over Temple-Up in

Kansas isn't bad, but TCU is de
