The Bull dogs enter the contest as slight favorites. Georgia Coach Wallace Butts brings his twice-victorious team to test the strength of the Game cocks. Georgia beat Alabama 17-s in the season's opener and last week trounced Vanderbilt 21-6. The Gamecocks can match the defensive record of the Bulldogs. Only one touchdown has been scored against the Carolina de fense in two games. This score came on a pass, so the Gamecocks are still unscored upon on the ground. Georgia Controls Sky Coach Warren Giese coTmented after watching films of the Geor gia-Vanderbi-lt game that this Georgia team is the best one he has even seen. "Georgia has as fine a passing attack as I have ever seen in college ball," Giese said. Quartermack Francis Tarken ton and Charley Britt have com pleted 14 of 16 passes in the two games the Buldogs have played. Georgia scouts at the Furman game lauded the Gamecocks. The scouts deseribed Carolina as the best team the Bulldogs have met this season. There was an air of seriousness i. the Gamecock practice canp this week as the locals, hanypered by bad weather, prepared for the encounter with the nation's thir teenth ranked team. Pass defense was the key phase being stressed by the coaches in preparbW to defend ag-ast the throws of Tarkenton and Britt. 4-6 Record Last season the Bulldogs won only four games while losing six. This year 23 lettermen returned to make the nucleus of a formid able team. Georgia Captain Ron Soberdash will probably miss the Carolina game due to injury received in last week's contest with Vander bilt. With the exception of Sober dash, the Georgia squad is in good physical condition. The Bulldogs will be led by left end and alter nate captain Jimmy Vickers, and Fred Brown who led the South eastern Conference in rushing last season with an average of 6.6 yards per carry. The Bulldogs have the nation's top punter of last season, Bobby Waldren, back again. Gamecocks Stomp Furman Forty-seven Gamecocks saw ac tion in the Furman game including six quarterbacks. The first three units showed well against the Hurricanes. Joe Gonmes, second unit left halfback, picked up 70 yardis in seven carries and caught one pass for 19 yards against Furman. "I think Gomes came into his own in this game; it was his finest game so far," commented Gies. Phil Lavoie drew special praise from the coaches for his fine run ning in the game. Lavoie scored two touchdowns and ran three extra points to wind up with a total of 18 points for the night's work. Quarterbacks Steve Satterfield, Jim Costen, Dave Sowell, Harvey Shiflet, anid Buddy Bennett par formed well in the Furman game. Bennett captured the fans' ap plause with his fine running, and Satterfield delighted the crowd with his touchdown pass to end Yack Pitt. This game will test the defen sive and offensive strengths of two teams who are rated in the nation's top 20. Future Opponents Lose Three Games The Gamecocks' opponent on Dctober 10, North Carolina, lost their second consecutive game of the young footiball season. The r'ar Heels were beaten by Nobre Dame 28-8 last Saturdlay. The Tar Heels could muster only 160 yards total ettfense against the South Benders. Notre Dame penetrated the North Carolina Defense for 223 rards nishing and 86 passing. North Carolina takes on North Carolina State this week. Clemson ran roughshod over Virginia 47-0.
