Wil Figure In Ga. Game beveral Crackers-turned-Game-_ cock will be eouted on to help S. Carolina's Gamecocks in their efforts to beat Georgia at Athens, Ga. Saturd&y afternoon. One of the Caroltna co-captains, cent'r Dwight Keith, is an Atlanta native leading the Crackerland con tingent. Other Georgians aboard include ends Buddy Mayfield and Neel Partick of Atlanta, tackle Ken Akin of Atlanta, guards Ken Der riso of Swainsboro and Jack Jones of Atlanta, quarterbacks W. L. Strickland of Thomaston, Larry Bennett of Augusta, and Buddy Bennett of Jesup, guard Wayne Shiflet of Elberton, fullback Dan South of Marietta, fullback Bob Farmer of Elberton, end Park Turner of Atlanta and stocking foot punting specialist Doug Hatcher of Atlanta. Mayfield, Farmer and Buddy Bennett are currently operation on the Gamecock second unit, while Derriso, Shiflet and South are on the third platoon. Another Gamecock end in the "Georgia category" is first stringer Weems Baskin III, born in Athens, where his father, now a USC assistant, was coaching at 'the time. Another Gamecock assistant, Ernie Lawhorne, was born at Par rott, Ga., and played football for Macon's Lanier high school. Giese is hoping that playing back in their home state before friends and relatives will inspire these Georgia boys to their best per formances to date. The Gamecocks expect the Geor gia team to be one of the toughest on the schedule. The fact that this will be the Bulldogs' first home appearance will likely make them extra tough. Cousin Frai Voted No. 1 Cousin Frank's Clemson Tigers copped the number 10 spot in the nation in the weekly Associated Press college football poll this week as a result of their 26-21 victory over Jim Tatum's Univer sity of North Carolina. The Bashful Baron was quoted before the '58 season began as having said, "It looks like if we're going to have a good football team in this sta'te, it'll have to be us up here at Clemson." Someone must have believed him, his team is No. 10. Commenting on those pre-season ratings, Howard said, "Well, it's nice to have people think that well of you." Howard, who took over the Clemson reins in 1940, won his hundredth game last Saturday against North Carolina. In his 18 years at Clemson, his teams have won 100, lost 65, and tied 10, for a .595 average. Here's how the top 10 teams in the nation stand: Oklahoma is In the No. 1 sot, a place it has held many, many weeks the past few years, and where it finished twice in the last three years. Last year Auburn wound up.as national champion. The sports writers and the sport casters participating in the poll CEDAR WOOD Located One Mile Belo1 Invite.

Gergia Game Will Predict USC Strength Carolina football fans still don't know exactly what to think after watching their Gamecocks perform in the first two games of the season. They were highly op timistic when the Gamecocks opened with an 8-0 victory over Duke, but hopes took a solid punch from Army's 45-8 rou, of the Gamecocks lasf. weekend at West Point, N. Y. Perhaps a more accurate picture of the South Carolina strength will be gained Saturday afternoon, when Coach Warren Giese sends his team against Georgia at Athens, Ga. "We like to think of each game as 10 per cent of the season," says Giese. "We have had a happy 10 per cent and an unhappy 10 per cent, but we still have 80 per cent ahead of us. "If we can bounce back and beat Georgia, there's still an excellent 2hance for a fine season," he adds. "We have a clean Atlantic Coast Conference record thus far, and the way the season has started, it appears that any team has a chance to win the league cham pionship." Giese's offense had a hard time denting Army's alert defense, but such football sins as two fumbles, four pass interceptions and a blocked punt contributed greatly to the Gamecock frustration against the Cadets. South Carolina came out of the Army game in relatively good physical shape and should be ready to bounce back against the Bulldogs, whom they haven't met since 1941. Again the Gamecocks will de pend heavily on the halfback com bination of Alex Hawkins and King Dixon to lead the way, with help from hard-running fullback John Saunders. The Gamecocks showed slightly more tendency to pass in the Army game than they did against ik's Tigers 0 In Nation gave the Sooners 66 first-place votes and 1,387 total points on the strength of their 47-14 romp over West Virginia. Ohio State, No. 1 a week ago before playing a game, dropped to third place. The voters possibly were a little shaken by the narrow 23-20 margin which the Buckeyes won over Southern Methodist. Au burn, a 13-0 victor over Tennes see, took over the No. 2 spot. Three new teams were voted in to the top 10, displacing Texas Christian, Pittsburgh and Wash ington State. The newcomers are Iowa, victor over a highly touted Texas Christian team; Wisconsin, an impressive victor over Miami; and Clemson, winner over already beaten North Carolina. 1.

That's.,saying a lot In the wake of last weekend's 12 completions for 185 yards by Army in a 45-8 victory at West Point, N. Y. "They have several fine passers among their quarterbacks," points out head coach Warren Giese, "and Charlie Britt is one of the best we'll see all year." The Bulldogs have used the aerial game to a great extent in close losses to Texas and Vander bilt thus far. Giese adds, "You can't overlook their running attack, however. We know that such backs as Theron Sapp and Don Soberdash are cap able of taking advantage of any defensive openings." Carolina depends on a strong -round attack, led by halfbacks Alex Hawkins and King Dixon and fullback John Saunders, but the Gamecocks have thrown more often in their first two games this year than they normally did in 1956 and 1957. In an 8-0 win over Duke they only threw four times, com pleting three, but they took to the air 15 times against Army. Dixon is the leading Gamecock runner thus far with 84 yards and a 4.4 average, while Hawkins has gained 54 and averaged 3.8. Haw kins tops the passers with four completions in eight attempts for 29 yards, and Dixon has caught two for 15. Bobby Bunch, who has scored both of the Carolina touchdowns thus far, will again quarterback the Gamecock first unit. The starting line for U.S.C. will probably be ends Jim Duncan and Weems Baskin, tackles Don Rog ers and Ed Pitts, guards Corky Gaines and Jimmy Merck, and cen ter Lawton Rogers or Dwight Keith. This will be the renewal of a South Carolina - Georgia rivalry that has been idle since 1941. The two teams will meet in Columbia next fall. Duke, which could be an omen. Of Georgia, Giese says, "They have lost two close games to Texas and Vanderbilt away from home, and I'm sure they'll be ready for their best effort yet be fore their home crowd."

Thus will be the case as Carolina's football eleven travel -to Athens today for their "do or die" game with the Georgia Bulldogs tomorrow. The Game cocks will be seeking vindication from their 45-8 routing by the Black Knights of Army last week. Perhaps a more accurate picture of the Carolina strength will be gained in tomorrow's game. The game itself, predicted to be a close hard-fought battle all the way, hold special slgnificpnce for both the teams. For Carolina, the game offers the opportunity to "comeback" after last week's trouncing. Georgia,. playing on their home field, will be looking for their first win of the year, still stinging from defeats by Texas and Vanderbilt. Both games were lost by a narrow point mar gin.
