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.

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

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

Texas Christian team; Wisconsin,

Carolina's 'amecocks expect to
run Into the most dangerous pass
Ing attack thefve seen this s6abon
against Georgia at Athens, Ga.,
Saturday afternoon.
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."

Is Nation's No,
Reese Whitley of Virginia is
tops in passing among major col
leges, and Doug Cline of Clemson
is ninth in rushing.
But if Richard Lee Bass, col
lege of Pacific's shifty halfback,
keeps on running the way he has
in his first two games, they'll have
to rewrite college football records.
The first release of the season
from the NCAA Service Bureau
shows Bass has carried the ball
427 yards in 41 rushes in two
games. No player ever opened the
season at such a clip, the NCAA
observed. Cline is ninth with 165
yards on 32 rushes in his two
games.

"There's not to reason why,
there's but to do or die," wrote
Tennyson In his Charge of the
Light Brigade. 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.
