PAUL PRILULPS, Sports 'Edrr BOB BLAKELY TOM CARR PAUL PHILLIPS The Bird Call Tomorrow afternoon at Sirrine Stadium in Greenville, the Gamecocks will take on the surprising Purple Hurricane of Furman University. The Gamecocks have nine men (count 'em) out of the starting 11 hurt. They are: Warren Clarke and co-captain "Lip" Latorre, ends; Hugh Bell and Leon Cunningham, linebackers; Joe Defore, guard; Don Early, tackle; Bob Korn and Norris Mullis, halfbacks, and Gayle Kerr, safetyman. All are regulars on the defensive team. Some of the injured will probably see a lot of action, but still they will be slowed down. Furman has been having injury troubles of its own. Their top ground gainer for last year, Russell Sutton, was injured last week against West Virginia and is not expected to play. Sutton was the second best ground gainer in the conference last season. Also included in the list of doubtful starters for Furman are quarterback Gene Pedrick and tackle Orion Hammett. If Pedrick does not see action, the expected passing duel between him and Johnny Gramling, or Dick Balka, will not materialize. The Gamecocks are expected to turn to aerial warfare for tomorrow. So far this season, the passing attack has been very good, with 21 completions out of 39 tries, good for a total of 228 yards. Last season Pedrick had 73 completions in 175 tries for 1,001 yards, while over the same period, Dick Balka and Johnny Gramling, in a combined effort, completed 47 passes out of 110 attempts for 654 yards. The Gamecocks are going to have to hustle to win this one. If the Birds give touchdowns away this week as they did against Army, it could be the same old story. Let's hope that a lesson was well learned last week and we don't give the game away to a team we should beat. For all of those students that are journeying to Green ville, a caravan has been planned and should start the day off right - with plenty of school spirit. * * * * * Nuts, Mr. Penland Jake Penland, Sports Editor of a local paper took a very dangerous slap at the Carolina students who made the long and expensive trip to West Point last week. In his sports column, Penland went on record as saying that the Carolina school spirit died early in the game after Army jumped off to their early two-touchdown lead. My information is second hand, the $38 train ticket stopped me, but the students who made the trip, strongly disagree with the editor's comment. From just one look at Penland's column, anybody can tell that he is not a Clemson fan, but as far as that goes, he doesn't seem to be a fan of the Columbia Police Department's either, since he devoted a whole column blasting the local officers of the law for giving him a parking ticket. For an outsider to take a slap at the student body of Caro lina, is to be as popular as an eight o'clock class. Please stick to writing sports, Mr. Penland, and leave criticism of Caro lina to The Gamecock. * * * * * Swimmers Wanted By Ratliff Positions are still very much open on the Gamecock swim ming team for this coming season, Coach Jimmy Ratliff has declared. There was a big turnout for the meeting that was held for all interested students last Monday, but there is still plenty of room for more. Last year the swimming team won two meets while losing seven, but the two victories coming at the end of the season ended a losing streak that had lasted for over 20 years. The two all-important wins wer, over Emory (43-41) and The Citadel (43-41). This year the swimming team will compete against such teams as: Clemson, The Citadel, Davidson and Duke in away meets and play host to the same teams as well as to Virginia Military Institute, University of Florida and Washington and Lee. There will be ten dual meets in addition with the state and conference meets. For those interested in recreational swimming, Jimmy Ratliff also announced the hours that the pool will be open. They are: Tuesday and Thursday 7-9; and on Friday from 4-6. This 'n' That Last year's boxing team had the best record of all the Gamecock teams. The leather pushers won four, lost one and tied one. The footballers won five and dropped four. The cagers won 14 on the hardwoods and dropped 10. The swim ming team had the most trouble finding the winners with a 2-8 record. The officials for tomorrow's game between Carolina ant Furman will be: Referee, J. C. Donohue of St. John's; Umpire, A. R. Plaster of Duke; Linesman, G. T. Watson of Bryson. and Judge, Harry Montgomery of North Carolina. Since football was first inaugurated at Carolina in 1894 the Gamecocks have won 218 games, losing 216, tieing 31. These figures do not include this season. Rex Enright has compiled a .500 average in Southerr Conference play in 11 seasons at Carolina. In 59 games En right's teams have won 28, lost 28 and tied three. (Com plete Gamecock records can be found in "The Little Redi Book.") The Gamecocks are featured, along with other teams throughout the state, in the All South Carolina Football An. nual. The third issue that is now on sale shows Bobb3 Drawdy, "Lip" Latorre and Don Early on the cover. Th( editor is Al Munn, a graduate of Carolina (class of '60). One of the interesting features of this magazine is thai the coaches write about their own teams. This enables the coach to do his "crying" in print, but he is unable to say thai he was muisquoted. Seasonal Statistics Announced This year's individual statistics for the first two games played by the Gamecocks show Bobby Drawdy leading in touchdowns with two, followed by four others tied with one apiece.

Penn over Dartmouth-Penn jusi couldn't push over that second TL against Notre Dame. They should make up for it tomorrow. I)uke over Tennessee - This should be the game of the day.
