Sooths to Can As usual, the Gamecock Soothsayer was in deep .trouble among members of the athletic department. All week long, he has gone incognito, while trying to get an inside look at the workings around the iollege football practice fields. Quite obviously, he didn't get a close enough look at the USC practice field. Last week, 21-9, .700. Not too bad a beginning for a simple upstart of a prognosticator. Oh well, hppefully this week's predictions will make life a bit easier for our resident risk-taker. No one really suspected that the Carolina defense would come around so well so quickly. Especially Georgia Tech. And Steve Jones may soon find out. Without an effective passing game, USC's strong linemen should take the ground out of Duke's heralded ground game. USC 21, Duke 13. Georgia Tech is still a fine football team. The loss to Carolina last week should spell nothing but trouble for Duffy and the boys at Michigan State. And watch for Brent Cunningham to carry the brunt of the Tech offense, while Eddie McAshan comes back after an off week. Tech 17, MIchigan State 7. Ara Parseghian used to coach at Northwestern.

The 42 man Biddie squad, .in cluding 38 scholarship performers, was recruited from a wider area than most past USC frosh squads. Only eleven 'of the scholarship athletes hail from the Palmetto State, while ten other states contribute team members. In the first of their annual series of "Dust- Bowl" encounters, the frosh and the scout or "bo-hunk" squads will meet at 4 p.m., Friday on the practice fiqld behind the Rex Enright Athletic Center bn Rosewood Drive. Admission to the scrimmage is free and all Gamecock fans are invited. Coach Jack Powers, starting his second year at the Biddie helm, characterizes his 1971 frephmana edition as having "greater team speed overall than our last couple of Biddie teams, but hampered by quite a few injuries in practice to date. "Aside from the usual practice .field hurts, we lost running back Mark Griswold for the season after a summer baseball mishap and halfback David Spence from BLUE DEN $4.' .

"Linemen Bob Harvey and Lamar Buff have also* been hampered by injuries suffei'ed earlier, but we hope to have everyone except Griswold and Spence available to play against The Citadel." The Biddie quarterback situation solidified somewhat with the decision to switch signal calling candidates Mike Bibee and Rusty Richardson to tight end and defenive back respectively. "We decided to go with Dobby Grossman from Bloomington, Ind. and Andy LeHeup of Temple Terrace, Fla. as our quar terbacks," said Powers, "Dobby is the smaller (5-10, 167) but.quicker of the two, while Andy is taller (6-3, 199) and probably has a stronger arm." "At the running back spots, fullback Bill Cregar from Wheaton Md., and tailbacks Tom Amrein and Tom Zipperly have looked good at times.'
