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.

Hellams' abscence was noticeable in Saturday's loss to Georgia Tech as the USC defense was rIddled for 219 yards through the air. Hellams missed virtually all of last season with a leg fracture but was granted hardship ruling by the ACC commissioner, preserving his juinior eligibility status. Senior defensive end Jimmy Pope, who had earned two letters and figured tojetart this fall, failed to respond well to knee surgery and is expected to be out for the season.
