Just as it has been in the past the "sporting event of the year" in South Carolina will be a "must win" for both teams. This will not only be the top -game either team will play, but it will also be a fashion show, a time for cheering, some fighting and drinking, and a time for greeting old friends who haven't seen each other in years. This is a game that means something to everybody: fans, coaches, players and alumni. The Gamecocks first took the field against the Tigers in 1896 and came out of it with a 12-6 victory. Then came four losses in a row, until 1901, when no game was played. Caro lina took its second victory over Clemson, again by a 12-6 score in 1902. That was the year of the big riot and football between the two colleges was discontinued until 1909. From that time on neither team has dominated the game for too long. Carolina trails Clemson in the series, having won 20, lost 29, and tied three. The 1920 Gamecocks are remembered for stopping a seven-year victory famine. They defeated the Tigers 3-0. The Gamecocks have been evening up the series They have lost the big game only once in the last ten years, in 1948. Statistics usually don't mean anything in this game and it would be going out on a limb too far to make a prediction. Both teams have explosive offen.ss, but Clemson seems to a have the edge on defense. The line play of one or other of the teams will probably be the deciding factor. Therefore the odds-makers are picking Clemson as a one-touchdown favorite. Clemson has been fairly impressive this season. They have won three games while losing only to Rice in a game in which the Owls capitalized on Tiger mistakes. They had little trouble rolling over Presbyterian, and easily defeated both Virginia and Georgia. The Tigers' offensive unit will be directed by Don King, t if he is able to play. He was injured in the game with Rice. For the past two seasons he has been -injured early in the " game at Columbia and has not been able to complete a game. It is not positive whether he will start tomorrow or not. Charlie Bussey will fill in at quarterback when King is not playing. He has been playing second string all along but has proved his ability to direct the team because King has been hurt a great deal of the time. Clemson's first line will probably consist of ends Walt Laraway and Joe Bowen, tackles Dick Marazza and B. C. Inabinet, guards Earl Greene and John Grdijan, and center Wingo Avery. Laraway, Bowen, Inabinet, Greene, and Avery all are seniors. Grdijan is a sophomore, and Marazza is a junior. The second unit line has ends Dalton Rivers and Willie Smith, tackles Jack Bush and Billy Judson, guards Buck Priester and Jim McCanless, and center Hampton Hunter. In the backfield will be halfback letterman Joel Wells, Jim Coleman and Joe Pagliei, and fullbacks Neuf Ankuta and Bill O'D)ell. The only back missing from the first two teams of 1954 is Buck George. .Sixteen of the top 22 men on the Gamecock roster are native South Carolinians, and 13 of these top 22 will be eligible for at least one more year. Following is a rundown of the first two players in each position: At left end is Buddy Frick and Joe Silas, left tackles Hugh Merck and Tony Byers, left guards Dick Covington and Bill Weston, centers Hugh Bell and Aubrey Reed, right guards Rick Ericeson and Bill Floyd, right tackles Sam DeLuca and Tommy Addison, and right ends Julius Derrick and Larry Gosnell. In the backfield it will be Mackie Prickett followed by Bobby Bunch, at left halfback Mike Caskey and Bill Tarrer, at right halfback Carl Brazell and Carrol McClain, and at fullback will be Jim Jarrett and Bob Barrett. Jack Hall will probably see action at quarterback, also. The Gamecocks have not been very impressive this season so far, but they have the Potential to end up with a winning season. They have played .500 ball so far with a 2-2 record. But the two wins have been over Wofford by a 26-7 score and Furman 19-0. The two losses have been to Wake Forest, 34-19, and Navy blanked them, 26-0. Head coach Rex Enright has met the Tigers 14 times in which he has won eight,'lost five and tied two. Against his present Clemson coaching rival, Frank How ard, he has won eight, lost only three and tied one. According to Coach Enright there are no serious injuried among any of his regulars. "I am sure that all the boys will go all out tomorrow and play their best," he said. "I believe that will be enough for the Gamecocks to win." Both the coaches and the teams will be up for this one. Both can't win, andi therefore one group of fans or the other will get hoots thrown at them and hankies waved at them, while the followers of the victorinns team wil celebrate.
