crysta 'bawling' BO$BY ALFORD Last week was a mi'ghty profitable week for this column. %o of the three big upsets were predicted last week, namely: Army over Duke and Arkansas over Texas. I called the shot on Georgia Tech's 14-7 win over Auburn. All in all I had 17 right, six wrong, for a .732 average. This week the important game to all of us is Carolina vs. Clemson. The teams appear evenly matched with Clemson holding a slight edge, but I think it will be CAROLINA .20, CLEMSON 14. Let's turn to the other games around the country. The top game in the country seems to be Wisconsin and Ohio State. Both clubs are unbeaten and untied. This is a tough one, but Wisconsin 14, Ohio State 13. SOUTH Duke over N. C. State, 34-6.

Top Quai Prickett To Lead Gamecock Hopes Leading his team against Clem son tomorrow afternoon may be one of Mackie Prickett's top thrills after many years in the game of football. Commanding much attention from the press and from South Caroina's op ponents is this swiftly field gen eral who is playing his first year of varsity ball. Last week found young Prickett far out in front in total offense on his team with a slim lead in total offense in the ACC statistic book. He has played in three games, participated in 59 plays, gaining a total of 319 yards which places him just four yards ahead of his nearest rival, Charlie Boxold of Maryland. Prickett is second only to a sensational Wake Forest quarter back in conference leadership pass ing with a total of 36 attempts, 19 completions, for a total of 190 yards, with none of these passes reaching the hands of a man behind the goal. Prickett will be directing the team with potential on the ground and in the air as he is a fine runner besides being a good passer. Ifis "bootlegging" has gained much attention and will more than likely be used on Big Thursday against the rival Clem son Tigers. A battle of two of the conference's best quarterbacks will be witnessed tomorrow after noon with Prickett providing the opposition to the much heralded Don King. -ONE TIME OR ANOThIER i\/E TQlED PPACTICAL ALL OF THE CIGAR 91AANDS.

IN KING (right) will be leading the a leld generals, in passing, and in run terbacks King Masterminds Strong Offensive Sparkling the vastly improved Clemson team will be one of the outstanding quarterbacks in the South, Don King, who hails from Anderson, where he displayed All American High School form while in high school. The highly-rated King hurt his knees during the first game of the Tiger's season, against PC, and has been used sparingly by Coach Frank Howard in anticipa tion of this all-impotant Clenson Carolina tussle. A sophomore sen sation, Charlie Bussey, has been directing the Tiger attack while the ailing King has been "sitting it out" on the bench. Despite King's limited play he has succeeded in gaining the third position in conference pass ing. Leading the conference in yards completed with 247 he has thrown 32 times, completed 17, and two of these have been for touchdowns. This is one of King's most lethal weapons. But the thing that worries many of his opponents is his deceptive ball handling and powerful running. His runnir.g has always been a threat as he is so powerful and fast. Mr. King- will be the key man in a highly "keyed" ball game for a well "keyed" up team come tomorrow afternoon. During the depression some col leges were forced to close, but not USC. It was accustomed to being poor. ~TTE - ~ EL/ JELV 48 [tack" of the Gamecocks and Tigers, ning.

The Terrapins are not having one of their best seasons, as show.n by their record to date. They opened their fall program with a 20-0 win over Kentucky, then proceeded to lose UCLA in a tight 12-7 game and come from behind to tie Wake Forest 13-13. They got back in the winning routine this weekend with a 33-0 shutout over North Carolina's Tar Heels. The Terps, as always, have plenty of depth and speed. They have one of the best coaches in the business in Jim Tatum. Carolina may play the Terps at a good time as Maryland plays tough Miami next Saturday while the Birds rest up from the Clemson game. After the Maryland game the birds proceed to Chapel Hill and a date with the Tar Heels Nov. 6. The Tar Heels started the season with wins over N. C. State and Tulane, but bowed to Georgia and Maryland. They own the leading ground gainer in the con ference to this date in Halfback Connie Gravitte. Two quarter backs, Marshall Newman and Al Long, give the North Carolinians two men who can throw the ball around.

The Gamecocks meet the Vir ginia Cavaliers in Columbia, Nov. 13. The Cavaliers have a 3-1 record to date losing only to Penn State. They have beaten Lehigh, George Washington and VMI. The Cavaliers are led by Quarterback Rives Bailey, a good passer, and injury - ridden Halfback Stan Knowles. The Gamecocks and Cavaliers always put on a good exhibition of football. The Gamecocks take on power ful Duke Nov. 20 at Durham. The Blue Devils lost for the first time Saturday to Army by two touch downs. Duke knocked off Penn sylvania by a 52-score and squeezed by Tenne!see 7-6. They tied Purdue 13-up after leading nearly all the way. The Devils have talent all over the place especially in the backfield. They have about the strongest one-two punch at quarterback of any team in the conference. They face a tough schedule in Georgia Tech, Navy, and Wake Forest before meeting the Birds. Wake Forest comes to Colum bia Nov. 27 for the annual meet ing with the Gamecocks. 11 Cordovan... 1mi:rin" bootleaither whose w- lakes on an added luster er* %hine.
