Lane Sumi Future Fo Birds Cou After tle Carolina-Duke ga into a huddle to discuss the gar had gone on the field as one of and if they had not been given t that the Gamecocks from Sout the game. The sportswriters - stated the problem: If Duke is in the top ten class, Carolina must have a powerhouse also. Then came three games that did not show very much. The team never showed much because they did not have to. Against Citadel they had five fumbles written on the c record books, and still they won S by a wide margin. Then came Vir- w ginia. Scoring three touchdowns tj in the second quarter, they sent P in the reserves. Furman was next and still the Gamecocks did not E have to go all out to win the game. t< What Can Gamecocks Do? S Here is the question everyone is asking: "What can they do when A they have to?" This question will ti be answered in the next five weeks vhen Carolina will meet some of di the best teams football has to of- D for. Maryland, North Carolina, M West Virginia. and Wake Forest. These are the games in which the cc re Gamecocks will have to prove se themselves. It will not be a small a task because Maryland and West n Virginia are members of the top f ten teanis class, and North Caro- 1) te lina and Wake Forest are two vi teams that have shown much im- w provement since last year. Not - to he ignored is the team that is going to imakt some team sorry they played them, Clemson. Clem son has had a tough season, but capable of winning some of their games. In this respect they will be all out to win the "Big Thurs day Classic." The main reason Carolina will 1-ve to go all out to win tomor row's game is not that Clemson will explode against them, but they will be playing against the biggest threat of the game . . . tension. Tension has been and will always he the biggest factor of This game. If Carolina can play a regular game they will win by two touchdlowns. If they allow the publicity of the game to influence their dlecisions in the huddles, they are going to loose a ball game. Against Maryland, Carolina will have their hands full. The Mary land-North Carolina game will determine whether or not the Gamecocks have a chance to beat the number two team in the na tion. If Maryland wins, and they should, Carolina will have a better chance to upset Maryland, but on the other hand, if North Carolina should upset Maryland the Game cocks would not have a chance. A| lot will dlepend utpon the attitude| of the Carolina players when they| play Maryland, but most of all it| will depend upon the attitude of| the STUD)ENTS. If the students turn out for the Maryland game which will be played in Maryland, the Gamecocks will be inspired, A and based on inspiration, which" a. has won a lot of games, the (Game- A cocks may win. C N. C. Holds Series Over S. C. 84 North Carolina, holding a series bi record of 4-20-4 over South Carolina, would like to make it win; iV number 21, and1 based on their b recordl this year, tyhey may do it. b NC is not a powerhouse hut is inj the same class with South Caro- C lina. Head Coach Barclay has a l sophomore quarterback by the|e name of Marshall Newman who is A supposed to be0 the best passer to Ii ever attendl North Carolina. Bar L.-. clay has done a wonderful job at C NC, and the Gamecocks will find ti tis another test. If it is a dry '7 dyI'd say the Gamecocks by two touchdowns. If Enrighit was looking for top co teams to play he certainly did a sa fine job, because in West Virginia li he picked the number ten team V~ in the nation.

It tkes a lot of work, but it's very leasant." It has been twenty years since askin last coached a freshman am; he was then at Georgia. ince that time he has been varsity ie coach at Georgia, Mississippi, uburn, and Carolina. le is also ack coach at Carolina. Assisting Baskin with the Bid es are former Gamecock stars 3n Early, Lockhart McLendon, -ed Duckett, and Stan Hamilton. Besides acting as freshman ach, Baskin made a creditable cord with his track team last ason. Baskin, himself once being track star, won the state track eet in Clinton last year by de ating Presbyterian. le is ex -eted to field an even stronger am during the 1953 season, pro (led last years stars show up as 211 as is expected. tI LL-TIME GREAT . ..

Wake Forest 3mecocks' rs What Pushed McFadden Is Frosh Coach At Clemson Banks McFadden, head fresh man football coach at Clemson, was the greatest athlete in Clem son's history. During his under graduate days at the end of the thirties, "Bonnie Banks" made several All-American selections in both football and basketball. As a track star lie set three state inter-collegiate records that still stand. McFadden was the standout of the 193!) Tiger grid team that rolled up nine wins against a sin gele loss during the regular season And then surLprised Boston College R-3 in the Cotton Bowl as a !limax. Carolina was a 27-0 vic tim of that team. A 43.5-yard punting average that year by McFadden still holds i spot in the Clemson record book. Except for one year in pro ball with Brooklyn and four years in the Air Force, McFadden has been - a member of the Clemson coaching staff since his graduation in 1940. lie is also varsity basketball coach and as freshman football coach is assisted by A. W. (Rock) Norman and Don Wade. 1L McFadden ean lhe remembered by ists as one of the greatest football is ever prodluced., McFadden made while he was an undergradunate at is one of the familiar scenes that re he holds punting records for the adly glad that Banks finished school has a team that is hard to beat, andl witih Carolina playing them on their own ground it should be harder. It so happens that Coach Enright wants this game more than pinything else. I do not know why, but 1 do feel that the boys are going to give it to him. I would say Carolina by 2 points. To sum it all up, we find that Carolina will be playing the best there is. We find that the stu dlents will have to back the foot hail team more', because when the team is away it is harder to win, but with the students there to remind them, they will have a better chance. We have a good ball club, and we may loose some games bu1t the main thing to re member is this: To lie a sport in winning is great, bu1t to be a sport in lingn is greater.
