He did a bang-up job last season and should be quite a bulwark this year. While in the service ,vith the Navy, he saw plenty of gridiron action in Manila. In 1943, he made all-state with the University of South Carolina. This 200 pounder from Dawson, Ga. should turn in plenty of brilliant work this year. EUGENE MOORE, JR.-A very hefty youngster from Lake City (SC), Gene excelled this past season be hind the batter's plate in baseball and should s e :r.,Ienty of action at center position. Nineteen, six feet, one inch tall and wejghing 195 pounds, Moor is expected to be one of the mainstays on the re serve squad. HAROLD TOWNES-A Navy veteran who came to Clemson last fall, this high man of the Clemson line (6 ft. 3 in., 200 pounds) will show us ,vhat he ha -and that should be plenty-from the ce11ter po i tion. GUARDS FRANK GILLESPIE-One of Clemson's outstanding athletes and scholars is a husky Beckley, (W. Va ) lad, Frank Gillespie. A first string letterman fo the Tiger football team, and an expert at the a t of basketball, Gillespie stole honors with the Ti r baseball club last spring. Weighing 193 pou11d .

WENDELL ARD-A Hemingway (S.C. student, this 205 pound youth is expected to do his share from the guard position. The son of a 1a~wryer, Ard spent two years with the Army Engineers. He attended Clemson prior to his entrance into the service and convinced the Clemson coaches then that he had something on the ball. JIM SOLTIS-A little on the stocky side (five feet, 10 inches, 200 pounds) Sultis stepped into a regular Clemson guard position in 1945. A rugged foot baller, he is one of the scholastic leaders of his class and during his first three semesters here as a Civil Engineering student made excellent grades. His wife supervises the operation of the college hotel. PHIL PRINCE-Acquiring a letter in 1944, Prince spent the 1945 season in the service but returned to Clemson last year a n d made an impressive record. Possibly one of Clemson's best tacklers, this Arts and Sciences major from Erwin, Tennessee, showed plenty of promise in spring practice. MAVIS CAGLE-A 1945 regular and letter man, Cagle made good that year on 20 of 25 extra points attempted and Coach Howard is expected to make good use of this bqy from the low country of South Carolina. Nicknamed "Bull'', this husky brother of John ''Bull'' Cagle ( 1941 regular) will use all of his 200 pounds in making some of the bigger boys step pretty lively. CARROLL GAINER-Lettered at Clemson in 1943 and weighed only 183 pounds, Gainer returned to the Tiger lineup last year after service with the Tank Corp, weighing 200 pounds and is expected to have put on a few more pounds by football sea son. ''Chick'', as he is popularly called, hails from Lancaster, South Carolina. XJACK ROSS-A letterman in 1942, Jack returned last year from the service at 205 pounds and maJ'' well move into a regular spot before the '47 season is many weeks old. Solidly built, a powerful man, and · fast enough to keep company with the best, Ross is expected to be much of the strength in the tough Clemson line. EDWARD MARTIN-Ed played with the Tigers be fore he entered the service back in '45, gained a lot of experience at the tackle position on the Fort Knox service team and showed up good during spring practice this year. It is his first post-war season with the Tigers. X BOB TURNER-As a freshman in 1945, Turner forc ed his powerful 230 pounds into a regular tackle spot and emerged at the end of the season on the UP All-Southern first team. ENDS NEIL MONTONE-A new-comer to the Clemson lineup, coming to Clemson from West Virginia Uni versity, this former Air Corp officer is expected to be one of Clemson's outstanding ends for the 1947 season. From Wilkes-Barre, Pa. this 193 pounder made all state football center in 1939. LEWIS DEANHARDT-Deanhardt performed at his hometown (Belton) high school on the football field prior to his coming to Clemson last year. ''Luke'' 5 looks every bit of his 215 pounds-6 ft. 3 in.. -and should be on the receiving end of many passes this year. JOHN POULOS-To be counted on as the blunt of the left end situation is this 200 pound Spartanburg student. He served for nearly two years in the In fantry, some of which time was spent in the Pa- cific area, and got valuable experience for gridiro11 service with the 41st Division football team. He will probably be one of Clemson's outstanding play ers of the year.. HENRY WALKER-A letterman at the University of South Carolina in 1943, Walker spent three years in service with the Navy. A second Associated Press All-American at the University of Virginia in 1944, all-state in Virginia, All-American third team in 1945 at Virginia, and captain of his team, this Grif fin (Ga) gentleman is expected to go places with the Tigers this fall. BLOCKING BACKS X 10HN MOORER-The alternate captain for the Tig ers 194 7 football season is an outstanding scholar from the Navy Yard near Charleston, S. C. Popular, well-known and much respected, Moorer will handle the Tigers well from the blocking back position. Just 19, Coach Frank Howard expects much from this hefty letterman. ROBERT MARTIN-The son of a Clemson College graduate, this Fort Mill, S. C. pre-medicine student is expected to show up pretty good from the BB position. Young (18) Martin played in the Shrine game in 1944. X GEORGE OLSON- Popularly known as ''The Swede'', this Decatur, Ga. student will see action this fall from the blocking back position. He will be remembered for being all-city of Atlanta and on the NGIC team in football and track. FULL BACKS llM REYNOLDS-Fast, shifty, hard-hitting and a great passer, of ''explosive'' running quality, this black-haired Pennsylvania boy will no doubt be Howard's top fullback for the year. He lead Clem son's scoring in 1945 with five touchdowns. On 60 cracks at the line he gained 270 yards and caught two passes for 86 yards. He was not with Clemson in 1946 and returns after a year of service.. BILLY G. ROGERS-After a year with the Navy, Billy G. returned to Clemson in the 1946 spotlight. An 01-1tstanding player in 1944, Rogers carried ~he ball 87 times to gain 333 yards and led the scoring with six touchdowns and an extra point. He sa,v a lot of action last year against such teams as Walce Forest, South Carolina, Virginia Tech and Tulane.. Hailing from Lake View (SC), this 20 year ?Id, 1_75 pound youth will no doubt battle it out with . Jim Reynolds for the fullback position with the Tigers this fall. BONNEAU BRODIE-An outstanding football play er on the Aiken High (SC) team, Brodie is anothe1.. of tl1e Tiger footballers who returned from the ar:11- ed forces in the football limelight. He is a defensive mair1stay line puncher.. 6 NORMAN PETTIGREW-One of the few Florida 14' ds on the Tiger team is this new comer who show ed up quite well during spring practice.

WINGBACKS ~EWIS MORGAN-Known by all as ''Hootchie'', this campus personality from Albermarle, N. C. will show many how to handle the wingback position for the Tigers this fall. He saw plenty of service with the U. S. Army in the Pacific area and is expected to show plenty of service on the gridiron this fall. Showed up fine last year. JAMES WHITMIRE-A 1943 Clemson wingback, he did some spectacular ball carrying exhibitions. Whit mire returned to Clemson last year after three years with the Navy to take up where he left off-a crack e1" jack ball player. He lead in the scoring and in the ground gaining at the Griffin, Ga. high school and was an expert at the shotput and at the 100 and 200 yard relays. Keep your eyes on him. TOM COURSEY-One of the youngest men on the Tiger team, from Charlotte (NC), Coursey will take his stand with the Tigers in the wingback position. A student taking architecture, he was an outstanding player for the Harding High School in Charlotte. JACK PRIDTT-One of the biggest men on the Clemson squad, and characteristically )~nough he ''played'' for the United States in the past war in the rugged Marine Corp where it took real men. From nearby Anderson (SC) this Tigerman played for the Danville (Va.) and Greenville (SC) high
school• football teams . TAILBACKS ROBERT GAGE-Clemson bases its hopes as far as tailbacks go on agile Bobby Gage. Very fast. very shifty, an excellent punter and a quick kicker and a passer, he proved himself in the 1946 football season Gage will see a lot of service this yea1". During the '46 season, he gained 250 yards on 50 running plays, and on passes, completed 24 of 44 tries (3 intercepted) for 388 yards gained. XHAL LEONARD-A Wofford College student before he went into the service in 1943, Leonard joined the Tiger team last season and proved himself one of Clemson's best tailbacks. He won the first Jaycees trophy in the all-state game in Columbia in 1945 and his team won the Class ''C'' championship in 1940. Married, with one child, this .Columbia (SC) former Air Corp officer is someone to keep an eye on this fall . .JACK MILLER-A very promising war-time (1944) tailback letterman who was in service during the 1945 season, Jack Miller returned to Tigertown last year at his old-time playing weight of 165 pounds. In '44, when he lettered as a freshman, Miller (hamp ered by an injured foot) gained 225 yards on 38 run ning plays (Av. 5.9), completed six of 24 passes (one intercepted) for 67 yards, averaged 33 yards on five kicks, and kicked 14 extra points.

C.-A mem• ber of the SIAA conference, PC took the champion.. ship in 1931 and 1941, while the Hose has bee11 runner-up for the state title seven times. Last year, out of the eight state 1eams, PC had the best season of the lot, winning seven games while losing only to us and The Citadel. This season, and since 1941, the head coach will be Lonnie McMillian, an expon ent of the ''T'' formation. The Dean of Palmetto coaches, Walter Johnson, is athletic director. We should see plenty of action from the Blue Hose when The Tigers meet them for the first game on Septem ber 20 at the Memorial Stadium at Clemson. BOSTON COLLEGE, Boston, Mass.-Founded in 1863, Boston College this fall will field its 50th football team. Coach Denny Myers has a crew of 27 letter men available to form the nucleus of the 1941 EAGLE squad. The majority of players are veterans who returned to the Jesuit institution over a year ago. The Maroon and Gold expect to meet plenty of trouble along the way and will do well to equal last year's record of six wins and three defeats. This is the first post-war meeting of the two teams. WAKE FOREST COLLEGE, Wake Forest, N. C. Coach Douglas C. (Peahead) Walker will _be begin ning his 11th consecutive season as head rr1entor of the Gold and Black Wake Forest College. The Demon Deacons, a Baptist institution located 14 miles north of Raleigh, N. C., are tackling an am bitious 10-game card calling for seven Southern Con ference games: Clemson, North Carolina, George Washington, Duke, William and Mary, N. C. State and South Carolina, and three important intersec tional tests with Georgetown, Boston College, and Duquesne. They defeated the Tigers last year with a score of 19-7. N. C.

Faced with a tough nine game sched ule that includes six Southern conference encount ers the North Carolina State team will attempt to repeat last year's win over the Tigers ( 14-7). No doubt, many of the State's expected 6?500 me.mbers of the student body will be on riand in Raleigh to witness the clash.
THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Colum bia, S. C.-Coach Rex Enright will field his Gam~ cocks against the Tfgers on Big Thursday, State Fair, at the annual classic that always proves to be a thriller. Regardless of the before-game prospects, it is generally conceded that the outcome of the game can be determined by the flip of the coin. Enright's team proved its superiority last year by a 26 to 14 defeat over the Tigers. Your guess is as good as ours.
THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, Athens, Ga.-On October 31, 1947, the Clemson TIGERS and the Georgia BULLDOGS battle for the 27th time. Clem son played the University of Georgia for the first time in 1897, the final score being Clemson 0, Geor gia 24. Since that time Clemson has won eigth, lost sixteen and tied two of the 26 games played. Last year the Tigers lost with a score of 35-12. The Georgia BULLDOGS have played and won four bowl games-The Orange ~owl, the Rose Bowl, the Oil Bowl and the Sugar Bowl. Head mentor of the BULLDOGS ''Wally'' Butts is now in his ninth year at the University.
FURMAN UNIVERSITY, Greenville, S. C.-The Pur ple J-Iurricanes (Purple and White), this year under Coach Robert W. Smith, have been in action since 1901. Home games are played in Sirrine stadium in Greenville, as will be the case this year. Furman, founded in 1826, is a liberal arts institution, owned and operated by the Baptists of South Carolina and normally accommodates approximately 1,000 stu dents each year. Some 1400 students attended Fur man last year and saw the Tigers win the first post war clash between the two-20-6.
ALABAMA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, Auburn, Ala.-Head Coach Carl Boyle's team will try to over come last year's defeat of 21 to 13 by the Clemson Tigers when he brings his men here for Clemson's homecoming game. A great institution with an ROTC unit, Auburn has always ranked with the best in the Southern Conference. When two Tigers get to gether and both potentially as strong as they are, no telling what will happen.
DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY, Pittsburgh, Pa.-The Tig ers take on a new comer when they play the red and blue Dukes on November 15. Kassian Kovalcheck is h~ad football coach and he employs both the single wing and "T'' formations. A co-educational school of some 2500 students, Duquesne is expected to surprise many and live up to the record they held in sports before the war. The game will be played at Forbes Field ( capacity 32,575), home field of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

16 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CLEMSON COLLEGE
Clemson College, the A & lVi College of Soutl1 Carolina, is located at Clemson, S. C., in the North western corner of the state, 16 mile~ from Anderson, S. C., and 32 miles from Greenville, S. C., midway between Charlotte, N. C., and Atlanta, Georgia. Clemson College was founded in 1889 and is named in honor of Thomas Green Clemson, the man whose bequest (approximately $60,000) made Clem son College possible. Mr. Clemson was the first U. S. Commissioner of Agriculture, and was 'U. S. Min ister to Belgium. He was also the son-in-law ol John C. Calhoun, a great figure in Southern states manship ahd Vice President of the United States in the years 1825-1832. Restored and preserved in the center of the Clemson campus is the Fort Hill planta tion home of John C. Calhoun, later Mr. Clemson's home. The college opened in 1893 with an enrollment of 446. Clemson is a non-coed, All-ROTC land grant college. The college reached its peak enrollment in 1946 when 3,250 students were in college here. War time enrollment, including both regular ROTC stu dents (pre-draft age) and Army trainees fluctuated between 500 and 2,000 students. The 1947 fall en rollment is expected to be 3,300; some 1700 of these
will be former• service men. Clemson has been a military (ROTC) institution since its beginning and until 1944 its students had always worn the regulation college uniform. Dur ing the years 1944 and 1945 all students at Clemson -ROTC and Army trainees-wore the prescribed army uniform. More than 6,000 former Clemson students served in the armed :forces during World War II and approximately 90 per cent of them were officers. A total of 365 :former Clemson studer.tts are known to have lost their lives in the conflict. The cadets returned to the traditional blue gray uni form this fall. Dr. Robert Franklin Poole became president of Clemson in 1940, succeeding the late Dr. Enoch Sikes. Born in Laurens County, S. C., December 2, 1893, Dr. . Poole graduated from Clemson in 1918, a PH.D. de gree from Rutgers in 1921. He spent 17 months jn France and Germany with the Aerial Photography Service during World War I. He was assistant plant pathologist at the New Jersey Agricultural Experi ment Station from 1920 through 1926. Dr. Poole went to North Carolina State College in 1926 and remajned there until he accepted the Clemson presi dency in 1940.
