The Gamecocks face a formid- 800
able opponent tonight as The Ci- ^
tadel Bulldogs take on USC in a 7 ^0<
p.m. game at Sarge Frye Field. co[
The Bulldogs (31-16-1) have won
28 of their last 38 games and are
the league leader of the Southern ^
Conference. j
The Citadel has several starters ^
returning from the most successful a r
Bulldogs' team in history. After ^
winning the Southern Conference ^
and NCAA Atlantic Region
_ ? - o? inn
Championship in 1990, The Ci- t0 j
tadel competed in the College cur
World Series, finished with a ^
46-14 record and were ranked j
sixth in the nation. ^
With a combined team earned stQ
run average of 3.22, pitching is de- _
finitely The Citadel's forte. Its
team ERA is the 10th best in the
nation.

The Dallas Cowboys have finally
made disbelievers believe. ^us
With Sunday's 1991 NFL Draft, r"
the Cowboys have possibly made . ^
the best draft in the history of its |PS
franchise.
By trading up its 11th pick to
New England for the number one
pick in the draft, Jimmy Johnson
and the Cowboys stole Outland
Trophy winner and future All-Pro
Russell Maryland from the grips of Wl1
the Los Angeles Rams, and proved tar

The Cowpokes also drafted a sp<
fine receiver in Tennessee's Alvin rin
Harper and collected tons of draft coi
picks (literally) by trading down its of
14th draft pick through New Eng- ne
land, Washington and Detroit for PU]
five extra draft picks. (Believe me,
you wouldn't want me to explain tio
how they did this!)
