Bulldog standout Gene Washington was injured last week but is expected to see action against Carolina. Prognostic after first' Some people never learn. Can you believe four of our pigskin prognosticators selected Georgia to defeat Carolina this week? Three of these four include the Bad Bills, alias Grant, Outlaw and Pratt. The only female in our predictions also predicted Georgia to win. Sally Wilson (13-5) was second last week to Ray Cooper (14-4). Wilson was apprehensive about making the selection-s in the first place, however, after being per suaded by Sports Editor Mark Leary that it was her duty to represent all liberated women, Wilson decided to select teams again this week. Be thankful, all you mQles, that Ray Cooper was picking last week. "I preserved male sports supremacy," Cooper said. "If it hadn't been for me, the rest of the males on our staff would have been put to shame by a girl who didn't even want to pick." Ostentatious? Perhaps, but true. A six way tie for third place exists among some of our most prestigious selectors. These mediocre performances, (12-6) will undoubtedly improve this week. Each selector tied for third place is confident about their selections this week. Bill Outlaw, who titled his selections as Outlaw's Obnoxious Picks, said he was responsible for the Gamecocks winning the past two weeks. According to Outlaw, his caption under the cartoon of Grantz and his prediction that Duke would win last Saturday, inspired the Gamecocks "on to victory."

St..-Iowa Tulane Syracuse ators shaky week picks Bill Grant, tied for third place, said the only advice he could offer this week was "to keep picking Maryland." Each prognosticator selected Maryland this week ex cept, you guessed it, Outlaw. Outlaw seiected Kentucky to defeat Maryland, which Grant called "an obvious act of utter ignorance on Outlaw's part. We all know about Outlaw anyway," Grant added. "It was my faith in Carolina that - got me into the third place tie, but I was a little disappointed in the showing of my assistant sports editor," Sports Editor Mark Leary said. George Morris, assistant sports editor, was on the bottom of the totem pole last week with a 11-7 record. Morris, however, said he is confident his record will improve this week. "Gen. McCarther returned, the Pink Panther returned and even boomerangs return; I, too, shall return," Morris said. "Considering my competition, I have little to worry about. Since the fellow in first place picked Alabama to be number one this year, I have every reason in the world to be confident," Morris added. Aside from the different selec tions in the Georgia-Carolina game, our selectors are also disagreeing about the final results of several other games. With these variations in the selections, a winner should emerge way ahead of the pack next week.

"Offensively they (Georgia) returned everything from last year," Carlen said. "Defensively they had the same kind of year we had last year. Erskine Russell is the defensive coach and he has back, not the super personalities that the press likes, but they call them the junk yard dogs; they move around well and they play well as a team." After two upset vicotories over Georgia Tech and Duke, United Press International board of coaches saw fit to pick Carolina 20th in the nation. Before the poll came out Carlen talked about incentives. With the addition of the top twenty selection the Gamecocks have one more. "We haven't beat Georgia since 1959 and we got beat last year 52-14, so if you want to know the in centives they are there," Carlen said.

This is definitely a legitimate concern because Georgia has two ex perienced signal-callers in Matt Robinson and Ray Goff, who will start Saturday. Running backs Glynn Harrison and Andy Reid are the Bulldogs top ground gainers. Speedy flanker Gene Washington, from Hopkins, S.C., suffered a back injury in the Mississippi St. game and won't start, but is expected to play. To show how potent Georgia's offense is the Bulldogs tallied 25 points in the fourth quarter last week to take a 28-6 win over highly regarded Mississippi St. Georgia opened the year with a 19-9 loss at the hands of Pittsburgh and Tony Dorsett. The possibility of over con fidence was brought up, but Carlen quickly nixed the thought. Carlen said, "I don't think around me any of our kids are going to be over confident. We've past two, we are playing Georgia now." The game Saturday night will be the first time Carlen has ever faced Georgia as a head coach, in this his 10th season. Georgia's coach, Vince Dooley, is 7-0-1 against Carolina in his 11 years with the Bulldogs.
