Gam4 As I BY JOHN DAVID SPADE Sports Editor "A game like this is one in whict I'd like to see everyone healthy,' said Paul Dietzel, speaking of to morrow's clash. Clemson will be trying to wil their third straight ACC title. Some of the be at players on both teams, however, will be side. lined with Injuries. The Gamecocks' Freddie Zeigle broke a collarbone last wee against VPI and will not play. Ray Yauger, the amazing sop back for the Tigers, likewise brok a bone last week, his arm is in cast and he won't see action. The big push of the Clemson team for the past years, Buddy Gore, did not play for the Tigers last week, but Dietzel predicted Tuesday that the Conway tailback will be "running like a racehorse" tomorrow. Carolina's Benny G a 11 o w a sprained an ankle in the Game cock's win over Wake Forest an did not suit up for the Tech game Senior Tim Bice aggravated at injury he sustained early in th season and it is doubtful that h will play. Promising soph defensive back Benny Padgett also is doubtful for the annual rivalry. Injuries have hit the Gamecock hard this year, and fullback War ren Muir is just getting back t full speed after a back injury suf fered in the Genrgia game. Muir and Galloway seemed t have been alternating injuries thi year. One of them has alway seemed to be injured when th other was well, or recovering. Dietzel lost the services of Dan Harbison, Bob Miranda, and Tom Trevillian to mononucleosis early in the year. Gene Schwarting has been holb bled by a bad ankle most of th year. Dietzel may have b e e n righ when, two weeks ago, he referre, to his team as a group of "walkinj wounded." Soccer Match Is Today BY BRIAN O'FARREIL Special Writer Today at 3 p.m. on field A, Caro lina plays Columbia Bible College and Sunday at 2 p.m., in Orange burg, it plays Wofford College. The Carolina Soccer Club nov sports a 5-0-1 season record. Winning its first five games Carolina ran into difficulties ovei Homecoming weekend. Perhaps thi team had "celebrated" homecom ing too vigorously; in a rather dis appointing performance they coul< only manage a 4-4 tie with Shav Air Force Base, whom they har previously soundly defeated. Since then Carolina has scrim maged twice, once with the Uni versity foreign students and once with Columbia Bible College. The formal game schedule resumes this weekend. The Bible College has an ex tremely good team and will preseni the Gamecocks with the greatesi test they have had this season Bible College was the only team t< beat the Gamecocks last season The Wofford Soccer Club is ar unknown quantity. Bihle College is always helped by the fact that it brings withi a number of supporters. The squac asks that Carolina do the same. BEI cocks 10 igers wea corr r 'em C T Fra Ga Cle) gan Howard an Johnny Greg Captain By ' BY STEVE CRICK Staff Writer Coach P a u l Dietzel announced Tuesday that Johnny Gregory has been selected permanent Gamecock captain for 1968 by his teammates. Benny Galloway was also named as alternate captain. Gregory's third s e a s o n with Carolina h a s been his f i n e s t. Against Wake Forest, the Aiken 3 senior c a u g h t three touchdown - passes which tied a school record set one week earlier by Fred Zeigler. Coach Dietzel feels that "Johnny is one of our finest competitors and leaders on the team. It was a Johnny who was running up and a down the sidelines at Chapel Hill saying, 'We can wvin.' And we did. For his c a r e e r, Gregory has caught 50 passes which ranks him sixth among all-time Gamecock re - ceivers in number of catches. His a yardage total of 793 ranks fourth. Plagued once again by injuries. t Benny Galloway has still been a sparkplug for the team. Galloway has caught 20 passes during the season for 229 y a r d s and two touchdowns. The versatile fullback has rushed for 229 yards in 68 carries giving him a 3.4 average. He has carried for two t o u c h downs. Galloway started off the season with a bad knee and an injured ankle. He sprained his ankle again at Wake Forest and did not play in the Virginia Tech game. Coach Dietzel hopes that "Benny will be ready to play at full speed this Saturday at Clemson."'

Tomor ry Voted .eammates Gregory Galloway R E D CIeu Thi 5ays USC In ACC row it's Carolina vs. Clemson. Although Clemson is unbeaten in ACC games and Carolina has dropped three conference matches, tomorrow's game is a toss-up. Like Army - Navy, Duke - UNC, Texas-Texas A&M, the Carolina Clemson affair is more than a football game, it's an event. Since the days of Big Thursday, and even earlier when football was something less than a sport, Caro lina-Clemson has been THE event of the fall season. Clemson, according to USC back field coach Dick Weldon, is "a big, strong, aggressive, tough, and any thing else you can say about them that's good, football team." "They're a fine football team no matter how you look at them," said W e I d o n. "I know they're gonna be up for the game, but then so will we. If any player weren't, he wouldn't be human." Clemson, without the services of Ray Yauger, will ,e hoping to get full service from Buddy Gore, who has been ailing of late. If they can't move the ball on . their ground game alone, quarter back Billy Ammons can take to the air and hit receivers like flankerl Charlie Waters. Clemson has another crop of I big, strong linemen to complement f their running attack, and a i e I big, agile defensive personnel. t Their defense is faced with the task of trying to contain scram bling Tom S u g g s, who will he without his favorite receiver in Freddie Zeigler. Coach Paul Dietzel said Tuesday that he will release his starting I lineup "about 1:30 p.m. Saturday," because of the gaps created ly injuries.
