use looks i travels to V By DOUG AUBE Sports Editor There is a saying in college football: "A tie is like having tc kiss your sister." Both USC and Virginia Tech have been pondering over such a kiss since last season's 17-17 tie. Thic u/pelrenH hnth tfame will A lliu T? W1VV11U) UVU1 LVUI11J TTIiJ get the chance to break the deadlock and end that year-long kiss. The Gamecocks take to the road for the first time this season as they will play the Hokies ir Blacksburg on Saturday. "I'm very impressed with Virginia Tech on both sides of the football," USC head coach Spark} Woods said. "This will be our first road trip and (it) poses a big challenge for us." If history repeats itself, the Gamecocks will come out the victor in Saturday's game. USC beat Tech 40-10 in. 1987 following a 27-27 tie in 1986. The Hokies are coming off a 24-23 victory over East Carolina and enter Saturday's matchup with a 2-1 record. USC is coming off an idle week and is 2-0 on the season. "The open weekend should allow us the opportunity to get some of the injured players well," Woods said. The time off allowed running back Mike Dingle and offensive guara Antoine Kivens 10 recover from a concussion and a sprained ankle, respectively. Wide Reciever Carl Piatt (knee) and offensive tackle Ike Harris (ankle) are both questionable for the game. Defensive back Erik Anderson is out for most of the season with an ankle injury. Woods expects Tech to provide a physical challenge to USC. "As always, Virginia Tech has another fine physical football team," Woods said.

Atlanta was selected Tuesday as the site of the tyyo Summer Games ? the 100th birthday of the modern Games ? in balloting by the International Olympic Committee. Atlanta edged Athens, Greece; Belgrade, Yugoslavia; Manchester, England; Melbourne, Australia and Toronto, Canada.
