their first conference game

Carolina Stadium at 2 p.m.
tying the role of David and
i in the ACC battle. Last year
the playbill was reversed. The
Birds were hot favorites with only
one conference defeat while State
had managed by one league vic
tory.
Nevertheless, the Wolfpaek
made true the role of David and
kayoed the Goliath Ganneeeks,
14-7, eliminating whatever
chance they had for an Orange
Bowl hid.
No bowl Invitation is at stake
in this one, but only because
State is ineligible. The visitors
have a distinguishing 5-1-2 record,
including a 14-14 tie with bowl
favored Duke.
Giese Speak.
Coach Warren Giese said at the
weekly seouting luncheon that the
N. C. State team would be the
most explosive team the Game
cocks have faced. He said the half
back combination of Dick Hunter
and Dick Christy would be the
best combination to face the Birds
this season.
Giese also pointed out that no
team has sered more than tue
touchdowns against the Wolf
pack defense all seasen ad a
total of 41 points bad beew
scored against the group. Only
one touchdown was Peored en
the ground against State.
The youthful coach feels the
greatest difference between this
year's N. C. State squad and the
one that beat Carolina last year
is the defense.
At the beginning of the season
before any of the teams had
played, Giese told a group of
sportswriters at the "press day"
luncheon that State would be the
team to watch in the Atlantic
Coast Conference this year. And,
Coach Earle Edwards and the
Wolfpack have made Giese a
soothsayer.
South Carolina salvaged a 18-0
victory over the Cavaliers from
Virginia last week for its initial
conference win. After dropping a
well-fought contest to Duke in the
season's opener, the Gaaaecocks
appeared headed for anoUNr suc
cessful season under Warres Glese
when the bottom fell out.
Injuripe Rnt
Ace quarterback Bobby Bunch
was lost for the year with a shou!
der Injury and alternate halfback
John Dorsett, with a battered
knee, joined alternate fullback
Blobby Barrett on the list of dis
abled, and then the Gamecocks
began their nose-dive.
State suffered their only de
feat to lowly Willlagn and Mary,
but not before proving to the
country that they rated among
the nation's finest. At the thiee
of their upset, a national poll
had placed the Welfpaek 10th
among major colleges. As the
ganme gets Under way Semnerww,
the N. C. Stats eleven is rnted
20th in the natlos.
Tomorrow's meeting Is the Sec
ond post-war game between the
two schools. In the 57-year-.old
series, the Gamecocks have a slight
edge, winning 10, losing eight and
