Powers Freshn USC freshman football Coach Jack Powers, tarting his first year at the Biddie helm, wele,med 49 candidates for'frosh preseason drills Monday and expressed pleasure with the overall condition of the squad members. "We are pleased that our boys reported in good shape and ready for workouts," said Powers. It showed that they have been following the summer -workout schedule we set up for them. They are an extremely enthusiastic group and we are looking forward to the opening of our season on October 2 against The Citadel. The 1970 Biddie eleven hopes to avoid the crippling series of in juries that reduced the 1969 squad to a 2-3 record after two con secutive undefeated Biddie teams. Two of the Biddies are already sidelined, tackle Lewis Terrell for the year after being injured in an auto accident during the summer, and guard-linebacker John Usher, who injured a shoulder in Wed nesday's drills. Powers succeeds Pride Rat terree as freshman coach after serving as his assistant last year. Ratterree, who led the Biddies to an 11-3-1 mark the last three seasons, moved up the varsity A factor-t welcox ken hop Gamecock staff to handle the defensive ends and tackles. 5 footbal Five Gamecock football players have been lost to Carolina gridiron fortunes either temporarily or permanently.
