Elden Dye, president of the Pep Club, will announce the winners of the cheer-writing contest and the new cheers will get a work out along with some of the old stand-bys. Following tradition, after the pep rally Carolina students will join ranks for the annual torch light parade. The route of the march will be up Assembly Street and back down Main to the steps :f the Capitol where a giant replica of the Clemson Tiger will be burned in effigy. At 8:00 o'clock tonight, the Bid dies and Kittens, Freshman teams meet at Carolina stadium for their annual bout preliminary to the big event tomorrow. Tiger Burning The burning of the tiger is al most as old as the rivalry itself and in the past has been a cause for sharpening the rivalry into actual violence. In 1902, Carolina pulled a 12-6 upset over the competent Tigers. Following the game, Carolina fans paraded a transparency of a k-amecock clawg a bleeding tiger down Columbia's Main Street. The incident fired tempers of the sub dued Clemsonites and the cadets armed with rifles and bayonets marched on Carolina's Sumter Street entrance. In the meantime, rumors of the march spread over the campus and Carolina men had rounded up shotguns, pistols and any other wveapons at hand. Clemson Closes In The angered Clemson ranks losed in and only the brick %yall )f the Gamecock campus seemed to bar battle. Christie Benet, 22 year-old assistant Carolina coach, probably prevented bloodshed by 'limbing on the wall and trying to reason with the cadets. At first, reason didn't work. Benet offered to settle '"the issue by personally tighting anf man selected from the Clemson renks. This plan broughti no favorable response and Benet p)roposed that a committee bie selectad from each side to meet and arbitrate the issue. This ph~ i was successful and the romplet< 'ransparency was burned Imid sh.outs from both sides. Since the 1902 "treaty," com petition has been keen, but not to the extreme of that memorable year. d tonight in front of MeKisaiek hortly afterwards. Shown getting nderson. and Cwen Tonote.

Carl.B.. z.ll Tomorrow Teams Evenly Rated; Game Time 2 P. M. By BOBBY ALFORD Co-Sports Editor Tomorrow more than 34,000 football fans will jam their way into Carolina Stadium to watch the adding of another chapter of football history in the 52nd renewal of the Big Thursday battle between Carolina's Gamecocks and Clem son's Tigers at 2 p.m. As in the past, this will be the "big game" for both clubs. It wil be a game that people will remember years from tomorrow. The players will retell the game to their sons, the coaches will look back and remember the boys that played for them, and the fans can brag that they were there when it happened. This is the game that means something to the coaches, players, fans and officials. The game itself may be little different from the many that have gone down in the record books. There will be cheer ing, drinking, fighting, as well as some wonderful football. This event is the "Mardi Gras" of South Carolina. This is the "must" win for both teams. It has been the big game in South Carolina since 1896. Carolina won the first contest by a 12-6 score. The game was played in a wooden bowl located in the corner of the state fairgrounds. The game has come a long way since that first meeting, and the will to win has progressed right along with it. South Carolina started the season with a 34-20 Nyin over Army, then, as often happens after a big win, couldn't get' "up" for the next game and lost to West Virginia, 26-6. In their last outing, the Gamecocks beat Furman unimpres sively, 27-7. Clemson opened the season by easing past Presbyterian, then proceeded to lose two in a row to Georgia and Virginia Tech. But in their last encounter they dumped highly rated Florida, 14-7. Judging from the records neither team could be estab lished as favorites. Clemson will be at top strength for the game. Don King will be ready to play his first full game of the season. Clem SOn has no major injuries that might hurt their chances. Only substitute guard Nolton Hildebrand is injured. The Tigers are ready and waiting. The Gamecocks are not as fortunate as the Tigers. The \\West Virginia and Furman games took more than their toll cf injuries. The Gamecocks will play the game with a patched lineup. Mike Caskey was injured in the West Virginia game and missed the Furman encounter. He hasn't been able to work for the Clemson game. He probably will see limited action. Harold Lewis missed the Furman game and has had very little preparation for the game. Ed Adams will probably miss the game entirely because f an injury to his knee -in the Furman game. Tackle Bob Schwartz will be out for the remainder of the ieason after an injury against Furman. Hugh Bell also missed the Furman game and has had :nly limited practice this week. Add the above injuries to those Carolina suffered before the season got under way and it looks as if the Gamecocks will do goodl to have 11 men to start the game. Clemson has backfield talent to spare. They are at least three deep at every backfield p)osition. Such players as King, Charlie Bussey, Joe Pagliei, Joel Wells, Jim Coleman, Neuf Ankuta, and Billy O'Dell will give Carolina's defense some thing to do all afternoon. Clemson's line is not quite par with the backfield, but such stalwarts as Clyde White, Mark Kane, W ingo Avery, and Tommy Mattos make the first unit a hard, tough unit for any backfield to crack. Clemson has a terrific passing attack with Don King mnd Charlie Bussey throwing to such capable targets as Walt Laraway, Scott Jack;son, Harry Hicks, and others. But the Gamecocks have some things in their favor. They save one of the top lines in the Conference as well as a fast, >reakaway backfield. Frank Mincevich, Leon Cunningham, Dick Covington, [Tarry Lovell, and Bill Wohrman will hold the center line fort against Clemson. These boys are tough against any team. Bill Tarrer, who will probably start in Mike Caskey's eft halfback spot, has played good football for the Game ocks this year. Mackie Prickett has blossomed into a number me quarterback. Carl Brazell will be giving Clemson's secondary some trouble from his right halfback spot. Bill Wohrman, "old reliable," will make his presence known to the Tigers before the afternoon is too far along. Clemi'son holds the edge in the long series. They have won 29 compared to 19 for South Carolina. Three -contests have ended in ties. Carolina, however, has lost but one game in the series in the last eleven years. Clemson Coach Frank Howard will do everything possible to improve his record against South Carolina, and Gamecock coach Rex Enright will try to keep his record against Clemson intact. He has lost to Clemson only once, in 1948. Both clubs will be up as much as possible for this game, hut the tough part in any athletic event there is only one winner. Only time will tell the winner, but it will be an afternoon of hard, tough, clean football at 'Carolina Stadium tomorrow regardless of who wins and who loses.
