"I'm sure everybody's going to have the ans how we're going to beat Furman and all this thine." Ford said "Rut let me eo hark nn inct a of history for you 'cause I know y'all people like h like history a lot when it's like this." Ford then recited a list of recent upsets by the I over some highly regarded I-A foes ? 28-23 over 1982, 17-14 over Georgia Tech in 1983, 34-30 ove Carolina State in 1984 and 42-20 over the Wolff next year.

"All the experts that know that Clemson's goinj the football game better go back and look at hi Ford said, "because history could repeat itself." The third-ranked Tigers, who play host to Fur Saturday, are coming off a season-opening 40-7 over Virginia Tech in which the Tigers did not t ball over and did not have a penalty called c offense. "What pleased us as much as anything was oui sive preparation. No turnovers, no penalties." Ford said he isn't taking the game lightly and players best not, either.

ROWELL Staff writer Inexperience is the key term in describing USC's men's cross country team this season. Despite this problem, talent is present and new coach Larry Greene feels the men should be one of the top three teams in the conference this fall. Both USC's men's and women's squads open their seasons Saturday at the Wake Forest Invitational in North Carolina. The men will run an 8-kilometer race, while the women will run five kilometers. . The men's talent is built on a few returnees from last fall and a few top recruits. Andy Foster, the only senior this year, was one of < two Gamecock runners to receive All- < Conference recognition by placing eighth in the Metro Conference Championship Meet < last fall. Foster also received the "Gamecock I Award" as the Most Valuable Runner of 1987. ? Sophomore Mike Hedgecock was the other 1 Gamecock to receive All-Conference honors. As a freshman, he placed 11th in the Metro 1 Conference Championship Meet. s Incoming recruits should also strenthen the 1 team.

Freshman Paul Laymon has posted "outstanding times," according to Greene, and should also contribute to the overall quality of the program. Greene said he expects the women's cross country team to be "leading to the top of the Metro Conference within two or three years. In their inaugural season last fall, the women finished fourth in the Metro Conference Championship Meet, which was quite an accomplishment for a team comprised mostly of freshmen. Greene is quick to point out that the squad only missed second place by 12 points, an indication of the experience that is returning. Sophomore Dana Purser was an AllConference runner last year, finishing sixth in the Metro Conference Championships. She ilso received the "Gamecock Award" for the Vlost Valuable Runner of 1987. Purser has a lot of company though, as lighly recruited freshman Jill St. Peter and iophomore Gwen Sherwood, who partially leld the No. 1 spot last fall, are ready to run.

I have to be especially careful to allow the few of our older and more experienced athletes to train so that they can fulfill their goals of competing at the national level. "At the same time, we're going to emphasize developmental methods for our freshmen and sophomores and bring them along a bit more slowly." m by example Foster is the only senior on the 12-man cross country squad, and Greene plans to feature his talents. "Andy is the most mature and developed runner athletically on the team," Greene said. "Whereas others have potential, Andy has come of age." Greene, who has only been at USC about four weeks, has had a. positive influence on Foster. "His workouts are well-suited to my running style," Foster said, "and he also builds my confidence." For his last season, Foster has set many goals. One of these is to qualify and compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Championships, a goal which has just slipped his reach in the past.

Leading the newcomers is Jennifer Wenzel, who will start this weekend at middle blocker opposite Pflughaupt. Wenzel was All-Conference and All-District last season for LaMoille High School in LaMoille, 111. "She's a fine athlete, and once she adapts to our level of play, she's going to be doing some great things for us," Kenny said. Also new to the squad are outside hitters Caryn Case and Deana Hagaman and middle blocker Lisa Guetzkow, who, at 6-foot-2-inches, will add some heighth to the team. Walk-ons Blaine Dougherty and Penny Stone, both outside hitters, and setter Amy Skidmore round out the squad. USC finished 3-3 in the Metro in 1987. Kenny said she expects the Lady Gamecocks' difficult schedule will help prepare her team for tough conference opposition later in the season. "The bulk of our schedule is extremely hard, and I think that should challenge us and have us prepared for the Metro," she said. Olympics Continued from page 8 Olympic champion, Louganis has a good chance to win gold in both events. Once an Olympic diver himself, Ableman said he was excited that he was asked to come back to the Olympic community. "I dove myself in the Olympic trials in 1984, so it's been a short while since I've been out of it," he said. "And it's just a high honor to be asked to judge that." Ableman said USC's diving team will benefit from what he learned during his trip to Indianapolis. "Mostly, what I got out of it was the inspiration. I am really looking foward to starting this season, and I have plans to drive my team to that type of hype." The Gamecock diving team could someday produce Olympic stars, Ableman added. "I believe in four years that we'll have at least a couple of divers with a chance to make the Olympic team." USC's swim team begins competition Nov. 5.
