Sooths USC t( All week long, the Gamecock Soothsayer has been plagued with obnoxious, obscene and downright disgraceful comments about his inability to pick USC. After all, he was right twice last year, choosing Carolina over Clemson and Wake Forest. Two out of eleven isn't all that bad.... Last week, 29-10-2, .744. For the season, 50-19-2, .724. And two for two on Carolina decisions. North Carolina State, with its enemic defense, faces USC this weekend. State's defense is so good that it only allowed Eastern powerhouse Maryland a mere five touchdowns, while running up a total offense of seven points. If Carolina wins by less than eighteen points, it will be an upset. USC 31, North Carolina State 9. Tennessee has probably the best trio of linebackers in the nation, and deep back Bobby Majors certainly has to rank right up there. But Auburn has Pat Sullivan. Take away Auburn's short pass and you have one thing left Auburn's long pass. And even Bobby Majors can't stop that. Auburn 24, Tennessee 21.

Jim Mitchell is one of their top rate players. Last year he pulled in 41 passes for 180 yards. Also he scored seven touchdowns on pass receptions, setting a Carolina single season record. The senior will have to have quite a year to equal those impressive statistics. The new artificial turf at Carolina Stadium suits Jim fine. "If anyone benefits from the Astro turf it would be the receivers," Jim remarked. "You can cut better on s At Home this week. Buy Dnly $19.95. re pairs FREE (Prices were to $26.00 ea. Offer Ends Mon.

Commenting on the loss to Duke, Mitchell related. "It was a tough loss and we took it hard. But we got together Sunday to watch the films and sort of got that game out of our system. Right now we're looking forward to NC State." According to the 5-11, 165 pound flanker, size is not the important quality in a receiver. "I don't think my lack of size is a handicap," he said. "Speed and good hands are things a receiver must have." Incidentally Jim has both. Defensive backs are the people Mitchell tries to beat every week. When asked how NC State plays their backs Jim said, "Their defensive backs play a three deep zone." Double coverage is the headache of most good receivers and- Jim sees his share of double teams. "A lot of teams flood their zone to the strong side and basically that's the same as double coverage," Mit chell explained. If. or rather when, the Gamecocks get their offensive show started you can bet Jim Mitchell will be a main feature. a1 U U This is why! mnt's night. from Campus Inn)
