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.

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.

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.

The Gamecocks take on Mary
land in Columbia, Oct. 30. 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. They are not too well

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.
