N. The Esterbrook Pos s Lead ponents ered the sports fans with a bevy of so-called dream teams, ranging from the All-America squads to the lower state class "C" all stars in high school ball. We of the sports staff of "The Gamecock" have come up with a team of our own-an "All-Oppon ents" team-made up of the out standing players from the squads that the Gamecocks will face this fall. This may serve to acquaint the Carolina fan with the calibre of beef and brain the Birds can look forward to throughout the season. Beginning with the ends, let us look at the strength of our mythi cal eleven. The two leading candi dates for the wing positions are Clemson's Gary Barnes and LSU's Mickey Mangham. Barnes, a 6-4, 190-pound junior, was a sensation in his sophomore year, and if he can overcome a current battle with glandular fever, he may prove to be one of the best in Tiger history. The biggest nan on the squad is tackle Dick "Tiny" Reynolds, 270 pound behemouth f r o ni N. C. State. His running mate at the tackle slot is a small but vicious tackler, Bo Strange of LSU. The guard positions are manned by a couple of pre-season All-Ameri cans, Pat Dye of Georgia and Jack Novack of Miami. Top candidate for center is North Carolina's hard rock pivot man, Rip Hawkins. One of the most highly touted college football players in the na tion and a "shoo-in" on virtually everyone's All-South team holds down the quarterback chores on our squad. lie is Norman Snead, a 6-4, 208-pounder whose rifle arm broke nearly every passing record in the history of the ACC last season. The fullback slot should rest easy in the hands of another LSU gridder, 1!0-pound Wendell lar ris, who has been switched from halfback because of his tremen dous blocking- potential. Georgia's Fred Brown, one of the swiftest runners in the Southeastern Con ference, should take advantage of Harris' blocking, as the former will handle one of the halfback positions. Along with Brown will be Duke's Joel Arrington, who averaged .1.8 yards per carry last year. RENW pOINT 9 ONLY 32 P01 $195' coc iterbrook "101"!

Roosters See Tough Slate For Season Carolina's Ganecocks face one of the toughest schedules in their history this year, and it could prove to be one of the most inter esting. The Birds will play an even schedule this year, as they take on f i v e opponents in Carolina Stadium and an equal amount on the road. Among the highlights of the year will be the traditional opener with Duke, the Homecoming game with North Carolina, Boy Scout andf Band Day during the N. C. State game, and IHigh School Day during the Virginia game. The complete schedule is as fol lows: Sept. 2-1 - Duke Oct. 1 - at Georgia Oct. 11 - at Miami Oct. 22 - North Carolina Oct. 29 - at Maryland Nov. 5 - at Louisiana State Nov. 12 - at Clemson Nov. 19 - N. C. State Nov. 26 - Wake Forest Dec. 3 - Virginia ITI ite 'Dar Bird Trio Will Lead ACC Team Many sports writers andi maga ,ines have given the reading pub lie their lists of "All" teams from the various conferences through rut the nation, and "The Game ock" would like to enter its own prediction this season. USC has the largest number of representa tives on the squad, but it is the opinion of the staff that three of the finest linemen in Carolina his tory should be recognized. Each of Carolina's players holds down a different position, led by and Jerry Frye, 6-1, 217-pound defensive specialist. His running mate is used mainly as an offen sive threat. ie is Gary Barnes of Clemson. Two of the largest players in the country hold d]own the tackle slots. They are Sammy Fewell, -2, 250, and Dick "Tiny" Reyn olds, at 6-6, 270. The guards are no slouches, either, as Carolina's Jake Bodkin weighs in at 220, while Duke's Art Browning tips the scales at 215.

Iloward's plins for at successful year include a list of sophomores, seven of them makiig up the first two units. Disregarding the sopho mores, the Bashful Baron has 25 returning letterien, w i t h end, guard a n d quarterback the top positions in the way of veterans. The first unit is veteranized, ex cluding the left halfback, and that is to he filled by a sophomore. le is Hill McGuirt. Duke University h e g i n s its eighth season in the ACC with its share of greeness, balanced with ftaming desire of some fine pass ers. and fast runners. Losses were heaviest from tackle to tackle with only one starter, captain-elect and guard Art Browning. returning from the first team. Tom Nugent, head coach of the University of Maryland, has 21 lettermen returning to compose a ball club to equal or better the won-lost column the Terps turned in last year. Throughout the foot ball circles, sportswriters a n d sportscasters have picked Mary land as the potential "darkhorse" in the ACC. But on the contrary, this writer feels that the Terps don't h a v e the material to be termed as such. We offer our be loved Gamecocks as the solution. Hawkins Nucleus of UNC Rip Hawkins appears to be the nucleus around which Head Coach .lini Hickey hopes to build a club to resemble one that included the greatnesses of Cummings, Gold stein. Klochak, Smith, and Butler. I Even though these men are gone, the Tar Heels are supposedly win ners in this year's hattle for the ACC crown. Hawkins is a poten I tial All-American as an offensive i star. monopolizing the center posi C tion. and defensively as a line backer. Twenty-two lettermen, in 3 cluding seven starters on the first unit. of the 1959 club. are slated to be on hand. As Earle Edwards begins his - seventh year in Raleigh, he is r reportedly walking about campus singing "Throw, Gabriel, Throw."

Optimis tically, the Wolfpack could reverse some hard losses in 19510 to win il in 1 1G . The University of Virginia has a larger s(uad both mentally anld physically than it has had in quite some time. ]lead Coach Dick Voris is approaching this season with great expectations due to 26 re turning lettermen an( his key man at quarterback, Arnold Dempsey. a passer of note. Hildebrand New Mentor With a new driver in the seat in the pers(al '-f Billy Hildebrand and a veteran crew, including 25 lettermen. Wake Forest embarks on what many feel as One of its most successful seasons in several years. IHigh on the list of return ees is All - Americap candidate N(,rman Snead. And last but certainly not the least member of the ACC, is War ren Giese's beefy line and springy backfield. According to Giese, his biggest problem will he in the form of inexperience and lack of depth in the backfield. There he will have to depend on sopho mores. Of course, t h e backfield will have some veterans in the form of quarterback Jim Costen. fullback Bob Farmer, and transfer Reggie Logan, a 5-11. 145-pound I left halfback w h o characterizes "Jeff," while Ken Kilrea, 6-2, 218 pound sophomore. portrays "Mutt" in the backfield. In line with the Giese tradition of stout line play, Jerry Frye and Jack Pitt will handle the end posi tions. They are good receivers, provided the ball is thrown. Left tackle is undecided at present due to battles between t h r e e men. IRight tackle b e 1 o n g s to Sam "Harpo" Fewell, termed by Giese as "ne Of the outstanding line men inl the nation." Don Miles and Jake Bodkin. who is the strongest man on the team and noted for his Iuickness for his size, will hold down the guard spots. The center position could be occupied by Jim Nemeth or Jim McGovern. Ihe( Gamecocks, with their two capable forward w a 1 1 s and a practically n e w backfield, will definitely be the darkhorse in the A CC. 211C 5Z D( E( ..
