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.

By MURRAY SEAMAN
Even the big boys are having
trouble squeaking through theji
Saturday afternoon chores. Foot.
ball teams are getting so incon,
sistent that a guy'd have trouble
picking the Vassar-New Yor<
Giants game.
After listening to halftime scores
last week I was ready to offer my
services to the society editor. How
ever, Georgia Tech, Maryland and
Michigan State pulled last quartei
rallies to prevent total destructior
to the not-so-crystal ball.
Tofnorrow offers another rieh
slate with several of the nation's
leaders risking their necks againsi
strong opponents.
Miami over Alabama-The sun.
shine boys have shown an all
around attack.
Mississippi over Auburn-Ole
Miss trying to recover some losi
prestige over last week's tie by
Kentucky.
Southern Cal over Army-South.
ern Cal has too much for a tean
that is still rebuilding.
Wake Forest over Boston College
-The Deacons have played goot
football for two weeks.
California over Minnesota-Min.
nesota to take it on the chin fron
a Pacific coast team for the second
week running. Oh, for Bernie Bier
man to return.
Florida over Citadel - Thi
should be a romp.
Maryland over Clemson-The
Terps are overdue. It could be
that they are ready to explode
their power and vindicate the ex
perts.
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. It
could go either way by as little as
one point.

Georgia over North Carolina
Georgia has found the formula for
scoring quick touchdowns.
SMU over Georgia Tech-Tech
has had two squeezers. They may
get knocked off their pinnacle.
Illinois over Wisconsin-Decided
by the flip of the coin. Two powers
of a powerful league.
Texas A & M over Kentucky
Kentuck sure misses the Babe.
Michigan State over Oregon
State-The Spartans are our pick
for tops in the country. No reason
to lose here.
Texas over Notre Dame-The
Irish still aren't back to normal.
The Texans impressed against
North Carolina.
Kansas over Colorado-Without
too much sweat being raised.
Ohio State over Purdue-The
Buckeyes fooled us last week. No
sense missing two weeks in a row.
Penn State over Wm. and Mary
-State played big league ball in
tying Purdue.
Princeton over Rutgers-Even
without the magical Kazmaier the
Tigers expect a good season. Rut
gers stepping out of its class.
Villanova over Detroit-This is
the same ball club that beat Ken
tucky and a good Clemson team.
Should be a breather.
Virginia over Va. Tech-Too
much class even though the Van
derbilt coach thinks differently.
UCLA over Washington-'-If the
Uclans can throttle Don Heinrich.
TCU over Arkansas-They've
got to win one.
Michigan over Stanford-Michi
gan almost upset Michigan State
last week and exhibited all around
strength.
Oklahoma over Pitt-Oklahoma
I still a threat for national honors.
