Birds Hope To LaunchOnOne Of Best Years CArolina's Gamecocks hope to launch a stretch drive that will lead them to one of the finest foot ball sessions in the school's his tory when they meet Furman at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon in Greenville's Sirrine Stadium. The Gamecocks came through a gauntlet of six extremely rugged opponents during the first half of the season with a record of three wins against three losses. They defeated Duke, Georgia and Cfem son, while losing to North Caro lina, Army and Maryland. After the Maryland loss, in which the Gamecocks' set-up Terp field goal and touchdown plays on bad snaps from center at the 18 and 2-yard lines, head coach War ren Giese wasn't discouraged. "Mistake* Beat Us" "You can still hold your heads high," Giese told the squad after the loss. "Everyone of you gave us every ounce of football that's in you; it was just a few individual mistakes that beat us. We can still go on to an excellent season." The Gamecocks could finish with a 7-3 won-lost record by beat ing Furman at Greenville and win ning remaining home games with Virginia, North Carolina State and Wake Forest. The latter three are Atlantic Coast Confer ence games. 2-2 in ACC South Carolina stands at 2-2 in the AOC and still has an outside chance at the league title, depend ing upon how Clemson comes out against North Carolina State at Raleigh, N. C. on Nov. 15. Furman has always provided stubborn opposition for the Game cocks even in their best years. For instance, in 1956 when Giese's team rolled to a 7-3 season, the Gamecocks barely squeezed by the Hurricane, 18-6, at Greenville. Last year's 58-1 Carolina win was the only time since World War II that more thyn three touch downs have separated the two teams. Even in last year's game 15 pass completions by Furman for 174 yards made the activity highly interesting. Colorful Season This year's South Carolina team is one of the most colorful in the school's history, with half backs King Dixon and Alex Hawkins and fullback John Saunders providing a strong run ning attack. Up front the Game cocks have a solid line, anchored by two of the conference's best tackles, Ed Pitts of Clinton and Don Rogers of South Orange, N. J. King, Alex Move Ball 1,143 Yards With four games still remain ing in the 1958 season, Carolina's talented halfback combination of Alex Hawkins and King Dixon have already advanced the foot ball 1,143 yards toward enemy goal liz1es. Every tiineO Hawkins has han dled the ball on all types of plays he has moved it 6.1 yards, while Dixon has averaged 8.0 yards on all efforts. Hawkins has rushed for 264, passed for 65, caught three passes or 60, returned punts for 81 and run back kickoffs for 67. Dixon's yardage has been 207 on rushing, 34 on passing, 85 on receiving, 82 on punt returns and 211 on kick off returns. Hawkins returned a pass interception for 45 yards, and Dixon hauled one back for 22. Actually the total Is 1,213 from those figures, but four of the passes were Hawkins-Dixon com bination, subtracting 70 yards from the total. Hawkin's Among AUl-Timers Hawkins has moved into third Place among all-time Gamecock runners with 1,280 yards thus far in his varsity career, while Dixon is also a likely candidate to move into the all-time top foursome, having reached the 1,184 mark. Mike Caskey (1952-55) held the No. 3 spot behind Steve Wadiak and Bishop Strickland before Hawkins moved past Caskey's 1,276 career total. Another hard-running star has inserted himself into the South Carolina yardage picture, too. He is John Saunders, the 200-pound junior fyillback from Churchland, Va., who starred In the 26-6 upset over Clemson. Saunders Is now second to Hawkins in this year's rushing with 260 yards, giving the Gamecocks a three-way running threat in their backfield. DBah Top Passer Qnartrback Bobby Bnch ha.

Fairly close estimates (within three hours per week) were made by 36 per cent of the students. Another 36 per cent of the students overestimated the time they spent, by amounts ranging up to 35 hours per week. The final 28 per cent of the group underestimated the time they spent, by amounts ranging up to 30 hours per week. One clear correlation emerged from this analysis. Of the students spending more than 1.5 hours of study each week per hour of credit, 43 per cent underestimated the amount of time they spent; while 51 per cent of those spending less than that overestimated the amount of time they spent.

The Hurricanes have been unable to handle Carolina since their 14-7 up#et back in 1949. The Gamecocks, who dropped a heart-breaking 10-6 game to Mary land's Terrapins last week, will be looking for their fourth win of the season and their ninth conse cutive win over the Purples. New Coach The Hurricanes are coached by a newcomer, Bob King, a former All-State end for Furman. Before the season began Coach King stated that "We'll only be as good as our freshmen." Fifty-one of the 73 men on the Furman roster are freshmen. King had two regulars return ing in the backfield and six in the line from last year's team which won three games and lost 10. Standouts include quarterback Billy Baker, halfback Hickey Horton, and end Ray Siminski. Baker was one of the nation's top passers last season with 88 com pletions in 150 attempts. End Ray Siminski has been referred to by Coach Warren Giese as "Probably the best receiving end we've met this season, and that includes Goldstein at North Caro lina." Coach Giese Says . . . "Furman could prove to be a NG =LAVO::. 0 YOUr tc Filtered-out"Th smoked-out"tc tAvaU.o -HrnOUeH PINE -TOJ .--anl the ear. urpies,,, 41 In Tire d Series very dangerous .team, merely be cause they throw convention to the winds. They .have the fire, zip, and spirit it takes to play' good football." In the 63-year-old history of this rivalry, the Gamecocks have won 23 games from Furman while losing 17 and deadlocking in 1938, 0-0. Remember? In 1954, when Carolina staged one of the biggest offensive shows in its history .in upsetting Army, 84-20, in the opener at West Point. In 1955, Carl Brazell's 95-yard punt return, Carroll McClain's 70-yard touchdown run, and a 76 yard Mackie Prickett-to-Buddy Frick pass, ended the season on a successful note against Vir ginia. The' Gamecocks, in 1956, sur prised the nation by upsetting Duke 7-0, in their second game under head coach Warren Giese. In 1957, trailing by two touch downs going into the final quarter, the Gamecocks, led by halfbacks King Dixon and Alex Hawkins, rallied to beat Texas' Sugar Bowl team, 27-21, at Austin, Texas.
