C„ Thursday, October 18, 1951 % Number 43 Presbyterian, Wofford To Meet Saturday Night ' X Big Crowd Expected To See Top Teams of "Little Four" In Annual Football Classic. Two Top Passers, Harper and Beeler, Expected to Highlight Game. Presbyterian college and Wofford turn their potent aerial barrages upon each other as they meet in football’s Little Four classic here Saturday night. The opening rounds begin exploding at 8 p. m. A sell-out crowd is expected to jam Johnson Field for this high light attraction of the week. Fans are anxious to compare the merits of two of the nation’s top passers, Presbyterian’s Quarterback Jack Harper and Wofford Tailback Jack Beeler. The terrier* will line up for the kickoff as two-touchdown favor ites over PC, despite the Blue Stockings’ stunning 14-12 upset vic tory over Davidson last week. However, previous records go out the window as Coaches Lonnie S. McMillian and Phil Dickens bring all of their strategy to bear on this Big One.

Wofford reportedly has its best team in history, whereas PC is not considered quite up to par. The Presbyterian running game has been almost nil so far, leaving only the deadly Harper-to-End Joe Kirven passing combination to pro duce its two victories against two defeats. And now Harper’s throw ing wrist has turned up stiff after taking a beating in the Davidson battle. PC also had been weak in reserve strength, particularly in the line. This has made It necessary for starting members of the light 175-pound forward wall to become 60-minute ball players, carrying the load both offensively and defens ively. This embattled line, waging all- out war against the two-platoon hordes of the opposition, has en deared itself to PC fans almost as much as the Aerial Circus offense.
