FAST, FLIC FORE FIGH By JERRY HICKEY SPORTS EDITOR An overflow crowd of 45,000, enjoying a legal state holiday, will pack Carolina stadium tomorrow for the 56th annual Big Thursday classic between twice-beaten Carolina and its undefeated arch rival Clemson eleven. Game time is 2 p.m. - Among those in the audience, looking forward to the traditional -fair weather, will be Governor Timmerman, both of the state's U. S. Senators, And James F. Byrnes, former governor and secretary of state. This contest, hailed by many as "the greatest sporting spectacle on earth," Is much more than a football game. It is an annual "class reunion' for alumni and friends from both the schools. For the ladies, the game is a fall fashion show. This year's game will be witnessed by the largest crowd in the history of the 62-year-old event. ENDING OF THE CLASSIC This year's Gamecock-Tiger bout will be the next to the last of these games. After that the two teams will meet on a regular schedule, alternating on a home-and-home basis, at times other than the State Fair week. HTY FOWLS rING FLASH An enlarged Clemson home stadium was primarily the cause of this change. Carolina is looking for a substitute opponent for future State Fairs, which will probably be a Friday afternoon series. At present, North Carolina is the top contender. TIGERS FAVORITE According to sports writers, the Tigers have been established as the favorite in this year's version of the rivalry, but coaches on both side of the fence will agree that pre-game predictions mean nothing in this "grudge match." Clemson's squad, cited by Coach Giese as having "more backfield depth than any team we've played this year," fields two exceptional first units, led by quarterbacks Harvey White and Lowndes Shingler. Both units excel in both-the medium and long pass, and, if the defense loosens up in defending against the passing attack, they can move the ball up to the middle with backs such as Rudy Hayes, Doug Kline, and the team rushing leader George Usry, who has been re ferred to by Giese as "One of the top backs in this section, if not in the country." Thus far the Tigers, who were recently exalted to the number 10 FRESHEN Y FARMERS spot in the nation, are undefeated. They have wins over Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland and Vanderbilt. The Gamecocks, on the other hand, have split four games, losing to Army and North Carolina, and beating Duke and Georgia. NATIONAL RATINGS With their season almost half over, the Tigers have a chance this year for their highest national rating of all time. If they get by Carolina, they will probably, barring a major upset, emerge as this year's conference champs. Following the Big Thursday game, the Tigers meet relatively weak conference foes, Wake Forest and N. C. State, and, if all goes well, should be in line for a major bowl bid. For the Gamecocks, a victory would have special significance, for it would bring the added pleasure of knocking the Tigers from the ranks of the undefeated, which would undoubtedly lower their na tional rating and possibly knock them out of a bowl bid..A win for Carolina would also enhance its own chances for the Atlantic Coast Conference championship. At present, they are 1-1 in conference play. A lot depends on the outcome of tomorrow's game. It could prove to be one that will be remembered for years to come.

This singing and dancing group from Kitzbuhel, Austria, will make its appearance at the University next Wednes day at 8:30 p.m. in the Field House. Dressed in mountaineer clothes, they sing, yodel, dance and en gage in the traditional horseplay of their village green, recreating the legends, amatory adventures and ballads of the farmers, miners, woodcutters and beer-drinkers. Theirs is a homespun pattern of simple pleasures, centuries old. Kitzbuhel Life Kitzbuhcl, the native home of this team of dancers, is located in the Tyiol mountains of Austria, one of the few countries where folk song and folk dances still form a natural part of the daily life of the people. And now the Tyroliers, under the management of Toni Praxmair, owner of an Inn in Kitzbuhel, are bringing to the University a pic ture of life in the mountains and the Valleys of the Tyrol. They seek to accomplish their purpose by the clapping of Schuhplattler dances, yodelling of folksongs, tinkling of the bells, the strains of the zither, and the traditional leather trousers of the youths and dirndl frocks of the girls. The Program The program, which is subject to change, consists of three parts, Spring in the Mountains, Summer, and Autumn, A Wedding in the Tyrol. Spring in the Mountains-The cold winter, which blocks the roads to the villages, is being driven out and Spring, with its green grass, overflowing brooks, Maypole danc ing, and shooting season, marches m. Summer-This is the season of hard work for the peasants in the fields, for the woodcutters in the forest, for the Sennerin on the AIm, and once upon a time, even for the miners in the ancient cop per and silver mines. The dances and songs on this part of the pro gram describe life and work in these callin.gs. Autumn - The boys and girls have returned from the mountain pastures, and the season of wed dings, fairs and harvest festivals begins. The wedding songs tell of doveries, the setting up of a . home, the blessing of children. The fun of the marriage feasting ends in a free for all, which Is depleed in the lat dane.
