ATTENDING WORLD SERIES Dan Yarborough and Bobby Cope land are in New York City attending the World Series. Clemson Heads State College Football Race Clemson college holds a sky-high lead over other state football teams in the young season, may be headed for a duplication of its undefeated 1945 record. It is unscored on in two games, while piling up 89 points. Thirty-four of those points look ed big. They were a whitewash of Missouri Saturday in an upset. That victory left no doubt that Clemson should expect to blank N. C. State—which barely got by Ca- j tawba 7-5—by about any score it wants at Clemson Saturday night. It also gave promise of Clemson’s tak- j ing the annual State Fair game against South Carolina handily. South Carolina was disappointing in its 7-0 conquest of Georgia Tech as it flubbed other scoring chances against the impotent home team. It will run into trouble Friday night at Furman, 32-20 conquerors of David-’ son. Erskine beat East Tennessee State 12-6 to gain a second-place tie in the state all-game standings with Presbyterian, who whipped Western North Carolina Teachers 21-6. The victories gave Erskine the fa vorite’s role against Newberry which lost 13-7 to Lenoir-Rhyne, at Green wood, and put Presbyterian in the same spot against Davidson here Saturday night. Wofford shared a third-place tie with South Carolina after finally losing a regular season game, its fourth such loss since late 1947. Stet son did it, 23-20. Wofford goes to Carson-Newman Saturday night. The Citadel, in a fourth-place tie with Furman, will take on a hot Washington and Lee eleven at Char leston Saturday night, after losing 21-0 to Miami last Friday.
