"This week every boy on the
field will have his greatest per
3onal challenge before him," said
3tarting end Billy Nies. "We feel
we have let the school and the
coaches down, and I think this
game Saturday will be the greatest
effort seen by a Gamecock team,"
said the Rock Hill lad.
Joe Prehodka expressed it this
way. "Just to show the people it
wasn't the fault of Coach Bass,
this would be the one we want to
win. All the chips are in the pot,"
the New Jersey senior added,
"And we won't be saving anything.
Everything is going into this
game."
Carl Huggins, fullback from
Mullins, thinks that, "if we play
defense like we did at Memphis or
North Carolina and move the ball,
I don't see how we can help but
heat them."

Of victory but his thoughts were
lsewhere. "I've been around long
enough to know that this is the
important one," he continued prior
to his 24th Carolina-Clemson game.
"We are going to prepare for

One of the sports writers must
have had his timing off when he
asked the coach if the USC game
is the difference between a win
