Tomorrow
Carolina Slightly
Favored in Big
Thursday Classic
By SONNY GRAY
Sports Editor
The Carolina Gamecocks, fielding one of the most colorful
eams in the history of the school, and the Clemson Tigers
natch forces in Carolina Stadium tomorrow afternoon in the
tnnual Big Thursday State Fair classic.
More than a capacity crowd of 35,000 fans is expected to
vitness these two teams renew their 51-year-old rivalry in
;he "sporting event of the year" in South Carolina.
'Football is merely a Saturday afternoon spectacle as far
is most of the nation's colleges are concerned, but in 1896
;he state of South Carolina began something that makes
'Big Thursday" the most important date on its football
igenda. When the Gamecocks first took the field against the
itate agricultural college, the rivalry was a natural one. It
vas between two state supported institutions, and Carolina
-esented the foundation of Clemson in the first place!
The Carolina-Clemson classic is the annual sports fashion
how in the state, and is not only the opportune time for
lumni-gatherings, but also produces the best football game
n either team's schedule.
Tomorrow afternoon when both the Gamecocks and the
'igers start on the field, tremendous pressure and tension
vill prevail upon the coaches and the players. This can be
ttributed to the fact that a win in this game constitutes a
uccessful season for either team.
During preceding seasons, the Gamecocks have always
een able to enter the game as the "underdog." However, the
rend in favorites has shifted this year, and the Birds find
hemselves rated slightly above the Tigers. It would be
bsolutely impossible to determine a definite favorite in the
ame, but comparable records up to this point show a Game
ock superiority.
The Tigers have been everything but impressive in their
irst four starts this season. They ran roughshod over a
mall Presbyterian team and then went on to lose two and
ie one. One of the main factors in the Tigers' games has
een the injuries plaguing their quarterback, Don King, from
Lnderson. He has been bothered with a bad leg since the
pening of the season and has seen very little action. King's
)g has healed considerably now though, and should be more
han ready to spring unknown powers on the Gamecocks
ome Thursday afternoon. The Clemson line is big and ex.
erienced. Led by the giant end from Orangeburg, Dreher
raskins, they are capable of playing winning football. An
ther standout in the line is co-captain Nathan Gressette,
20-pound tackle from St. Matthews, a former high school
tar with Carolina's Co-captain Clyde Bennett.
The Gamecocks have been most impressive in their three
rins and one loss thus far this season. They will operate
>morrow afternoon behind the able leadership of Johnny
~ramling, star quarterback and passer from Orangeburg.
~ramling is already the recipient of many postseason awards
nd has been cited for past season's "Big Thursday" play.
[e will start in the quarterback slot tomorrow and hope to
laborate on records against Clemson in preceding contests.
Along with Gramling in the backfield will be the already
a~mous Carl Brazell, fleet-footed sophomore halfback from
olunmbia. Brazell is fast becoming reknowned in football
ircles throughout the conference, and will be all out to
iorrow to bolster his records. Rounding out the Gamecock
ackfield will be Bill Wohrman at fullback and Gene Wilson
t halfback.
The Carolina line is capable of standing up to any in the
anference. The two ends are composed of Clyde Bennett and
Varren Clarke. These two boys are seniors and are originally
rom towns only a few miles apart. Heading the list of tackles
rill be Hugh Merck from Liberty and Harry Lovell from
tlanta. Both of these men are very capable performers. The
est of the line is as follows: Guards, Frank Mincevich, "The
'riendly Bear," and Bob King; Center, All-Southern Leon
unningham.
Statistically, Clemson holds a big edge over Carolina in
be series with 29 wins, 17 losses, while three games have
nded in ties. However, this is the one game of the year when
tatistics of preceding seasons, games, and individual players
an be cast aside. The Carolina-Clemson series is an event
rhere the impossible can happen and usually doe.
