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.

field general against Ara's old
team. When asked how far he could
go with an imtested quarterback,
Ara replied, "All the way to the
national championship." Who's to
argue? Notre Dame 34, Nor
thwestern 10.
Believe it or not, Pittsburgh, not
the Steelers, but the Panthers,
upset UCLA. The Bruins are prime
for an upset. However, they are not
playing Smalltime U. Unless
Texas has changed its name. It
hasn't. Too bad. Texas 24, UCLA
14.
People have said that
Nebraska's defense is better than
last year. that's pretty good. Ten
of eleven starters return to the
Cornhusker offense. That's pretty
good. Unless you are a Minnesota
fan. Nebraska 33, Minnesota 14.
Bear Bryant got his 200th win
last week against Southern
California. The Trojans are
seething. Watch Jimmy Jones and
Sam Cunningham show no mercy
in the climb back up the polls.

frosh in Carolina stadium.
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

"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.'
