He came to Clemson 1n 1931 as the Tiger's line coach under , and it was in 1940, when Neely pulled stakes to settle at Rice Institute in Texas, that Howard took the reins as chief men­ tor. Born at Barlow Bend, Ala., on March 25, 1909, Ho\vard spent his ea1~1y days on a farm-playing cow pasture baseball at every opportunity. The folks arou11d Ba1,low Bend took ve1·y little interest in football those days, and even if they had gotten the fever, there would not have been enough youngsters around the general sto1·e to get up a game. The fall of 1927 found him bound for Tuscaloosa with most of his v.rorldly goods in a hand grip and a glea1n in his eyes that meant stiff opposition for \¥hoever had a monopoly on Alabama's guard posi­ tion. Coach (then at Alabama, now at Duke) sent Howard into his first game against Mississippi State as a sophomore. He played as a re serve that year, and as a junior stepped into a var­ sity berth, starting all ga1nes but two this second year. An inJ ur~ect ankle barred him from those two. With the arrival of the 1930 campaign, great things were forecast for Alabama football. Tl1e gigantic sizes of the linemen prompted newspaper­ men to for get the nickname, "The Crimson Tide" in favor of a new inspiration, ''The Red Elephants". At 185 pounds, Howard went quietly to the task of retaining l1is regular position among those mam­ moth linemen. He was the one hitch in the nick­ name, "Red Elephants", until an enterprising writ­ er came up with tl1e "Little Giant'', manufactured exclusively for Hovvard. Throughout the year, Howard was the "Little Giant'' of the "Herd of Red Elephants''. The team swept through an un­ defeated season and capped it by defeating Wash­ ington Sate, 24-0 in the January 1, 1931, game. Howard's top honors as head coach at Clemson came in the 1948 season when, after leading his Tigers through an undefeated year, he was ac­ claimed top coach of the by the League's sports writers and fourth in an AP poll in the nation. Final rise to success came with the defeat of Missouri in the January 1, 1949, Gator in Jacksonville. Here is Howard's career record as a head coach: Year G W L T Pct. 1940 9 6 2 1 . 722 1941 9 7 2 0 . 778 1942 10 3 6 1 .350 1943 8 2 6 0 .250 1944 9 4 5 0 .444 1945 10 6 3 1 .650 1946 9 4 5 0 .444 1947 9 4 5 0 .444 1948 11 11 0 0 1.000 Totals 84 47 34 3 .577 TIIE ASSIST ANT COACHES • • • BOB JONES A standout Clemson football and basketball star of the years 1928-30 and generally considered one of the finest ends in Clemson history, Bob Jones joined the coaching staff as end coach upon gradu­ tion here in 1930. Entering the Army in 1941, Jones spent 12 months in the ETO, won the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Combat Infantry­ man's badge. He held the rank of lieutenant col­ onel when discharged in 1946. Jones is also head coach of the golf t eam. He now commands the 323rd. Inf. Regt. as full colonel with headquarters at Clemson. Married, h e has three daughters.

COVINGTON McMILLAN A Clemson gridiron star of the 1928-30 era, "Goat" McMillan spent four years coaching at Grif­ fin, Ga. High School and three years at Furman University before joining the Clemson staff in 1937. Entering the Army in 1942, McMillan spent six months in Korea and Japan. He held the rank of captain when discharged in 1946. He is the Tig­ er's exponer1t of statistics. He is married and has two girls and a boy.

RUSS COHEN Clemson's newest addition to its varsity coach­ ing staff is , former athletic man at Louisiana State University and an assistant to Wal­ lace Wade, when the present Duke mentor was at Alabama. Cohen came to Clemson in 1947 from Virginia Military Institute where for ten years he had been backfield coach . During off-season, he operates a large farm in Waynesboro, Ga.

WALTER COX A regular guard on Clemson's 1939 Cotton Bowl team, Walter Cox stepped out of a first string posi­ tion with the Tigers into a job on the coaching staff. Called into the A1~my in 1942, Cox spent 12 months in the Fiji Islands, New Caledonia, and Guadalcanal, and held the rank of first lieutenant when medically discharged in 1943. He serves as baseball coach in the spring, besides bearing the trials and tribulations that go with the job of tick­ et manageI·. H e and the Mrs. have two boys.

BANKS McFADDEN His play on the 1939 Tiger team placed ''Bonnie Banks" on the Associated Press All-American foot­ ball team and on Chuck Taylo1--'s All-American bas­ ketball t eam. Upon graduation in 1940, McFadden played professional football for the Brooklyn Dod­ gers and led in ground gaining. He entered the Army in 1942, spent 33 months overseas and was a major at the time of his discharge. In the winter, McFadden is Clemson's basketball coach. Married, he has two girls. A. W. NORMAN

How long the Tigers can remain such a matter for time to decide. Clemson's shortcomings can be bundled into one sentence: lack of manpower at guards and tackles. The wisdom and ability found in sucri players as All-Southern Frank Gillespie and huskies Tom Sal­ is bury, Phil Prince, and Ray Clanton, all first team membei-·s last season and of whom none will be around this fall, cannot be r·eplaced in one year. 'l,o fill these gaps, Howard plans to promote Jack Cox and Dan D1Mucci t o first-string guards, im­ prove massive Luke Deanhardt as tackle, and con­ vert End Bob Hudson into the other tackle. If Howard in his t enth year as chief mentor for the Tigers, can do that by the season 's opening, he 1s truly the "All-time coach of the Southern Con­ ference." The cente1· berth is probably the most secure of the forward wall positions, with team captain Gene Moore as number one man. John Poulos and Glenn Smith, the latter a prod­ uct of the Nation's capital, and only a sophomore, will likely handle the flanks. The pride of Clemson will be the backfield. Ray Mathews and Fred Cone remain from last year's famous foursome of Gage, Martin, Mathews and Cone, and will be supplemented by Jackie Calvert, Carol Cox, Dick Hendley and Wyndie Wyndham. That's how Howard's '49 outfit stacks up-a pow­ erful running and passing attack with 22 lettermen on hand, all gazing toward the vacant tackle and guard berths, hoping for a miracle that will give Clemson another miracle team.

The head coach of this Southwestern Conference team left Clemson after leading the Tigers to the Jan. 1, 1940 Cotton Bowl gan1e. The Owls expect this season to be their best year of in­ tercollegiate football, with 20 seniors returning, and lettern1en 1n every position. Operating fro1n the man-under slot in Coach Neely's "T" are three fine passers, Tobin Rote, Vernon Glass and Harmon Carswell. Pre-season reports indicate a good de­ fensive team for the Owls, with emphasis being placed on pass­ ing and punting.

State's attack may again lack close order position, for the tailbacks run small and the fullbacks, Jim O'Rourke and Dick Johnson, have yet to be pinched for speeding. The sophomores should be able to h~lp. Certainly the Jacobs Blocking Trophy Y..Tinner of last year, Bob Bowlby, will help offset the negative side of tha ledger. Up front, the medicine man has already given his note of tribal approval. In the middle the Wolfpack asks for nothing . . . . three deep in lettermen at each of the five positions.

South Carolina (Gamecocks) Oct. 20 at Columbia - 2:00 p.rn. Coach: (Notre Dame '26) Publicity Director: A. W. "Red" Ballentine Colors: Garnet and Black Enrollmenl: 4,000 (coed) Location: Columbia, S. C. Offensively speaking, the Gamecocks, Clemson's chief rival not only on the gridiron, but in off-season securing talented pig­ skin prospects, should have a fine looking organization that can offer plenty of flash and deception for the fans. A fine array of backfield stars who boast plenty of experience should be hard to stop . • The "Enrighters", as in past seasons, will use the strict "T" formation with little if any variations. Enright plans to use the two platoon systems, but as is the situation with Howard at Clemson, he hopes he can get one platoon on the field.

Walker (Howard College '31) Publicity Director: 1'om Bost, Jr. Colors: Gold and Black Enrollment: 1,800 (coed) " Location: Wake Forest, N. C. Talk a round the Southern Conference centers on the football ability of little Wake Forest College, soon to inherit some of the Re y nolds Tobacco millions. Coached by the Colorful "Pea head" Walker, th~s eleven is Clemson's sixth foe of the season. The Deacons are blessed by one of the greatest collections of sophomore talent ever seen in the Conference, and they suffered no serious losses from the thrice-beaten aggregation of '48. John "Red" O'Quinn, number one pass receiver in the coun­ try, is expected to do a repeat performance with plenty of back­ field help from Bill Gregus, hard-running Wake Forest halfback. Clemson anticipates the Deacons to hurl against them probably tha toughest eleven on their ten-slate schedule.

Denny Myers, the coach who believes in his boys and dares to admit it, retaliates to put the two platoon system to scorn with three complete elevens. This '49 aggregation may be the g reatest Eagle array since 's 1940 B. C. team. Bellweather of the team, the big beam for the high flying Eagles hopes is Ed Songin, who completed 21 passes against Clemson for 298 yards last year and his final pass tabulations gave 83 completions out of 164 for the season. Myers is an attack minded gentleman .. . his teams have yet to be blanked in six Boston seasons and Clemson can be well wary of this aggregation, whose rivalry first began in the Jan. 1, 1940 Cotton Bowl Game.

This will be the third consecutive year that Clemson plays Duquesne. The confidence of young Ahwesh, only 29, a former star with the Dukes, has raised hopes to a new high. No re­ petition of last year's disaster is expected ... the Dukes man­ aged to win only 2 out of 9. Names to note are Leo Elter, fullback up from the frosh, Cen­ ter Jim O'Day, Ends Nick Chomka and Ray Kridle and Guard Tony Paesano. Ahwesh reverses the trend in giving up the "T'' in favor of the winged "T". The Dukes began playing col­ lege ball in 1900. They were one of the many schools which 1nterru1)ted athletics during the war years of '43-46. Last year, the tilt with this Catholic school served as Clemson's Home­ coming. 1949 Schedule: Sept. 17 Wake Forest Oct. l Muhlenburg Oct. 7 Alabama Oct 15 Holy Cross Oct. 22 Villanova Oct. 29 St. Louis U.

The Plainsmen d1dn 't win a League game in 1948, their first under young Coach B1own, but they came closer to upsetting Clemson than any team last season. Indications are that this season's edition is going to be a great deal better now since the attack is being switched from a modified single wing to a standard "T'. "Travelin' Travis" Tidwell will once again lead the offense. Other than seniors Ralph Piburn, ex-paratrooper and tl1eir captain, and Coker Barton, a tl1underous line backing center, sophomores, procured p1 incipall y by Coach Brown himself, will man many of the posts . ... 1949 Sch e dule: Sept. 23 Mississippi U.

ENDS - About the same as last year, possibly a little better. The experience of John Poulos at left end should make the posi­ tion there ideal. Sophomore Glenn Smith will have to replace Oscar Thompson at right end. Relief will come from Rushton, McCauley, Herlong and Carson.

TACKLES - Big question! End Eob Hudson has been moved to this slot to fill one side with Luke Deanhardt at the other. Lack of experience is the big factor as none of the players, with the exception of Deanhardt, has seen any varsity action. The material is big, what with Graham, 230; Grigsby, 210; Dick Gillespie, 225; Martin, 220; Patton, 220; and Sterling Smith, 205.

GUARDS - Biggest question mark!! Will miss Frank Gillespie and Ray Clanton. Only two lettermen are Jack Cox and John Childress. DiMucci may get the nod as Number One man on the right side of the line. Manos, Skornschek, Mooneyhan, and Knight all have the desire, but the ability has to be trained. Probably Clemson's weakest position.

CENTERS - The material is excellent, but not too deep. Gene 1',1oore, candidate for All-Southern, is top man. He is excellent on defense, and his speed makes him a top notch offensive player. Brunson, Wade and Bryant will lend a hand.

BLOCKING BACK - Secure position with ample strength. Former fullback Dick Hendley moves up to take over here and will probably play offensively. Powerful Wyndham will hold the backfield up defensively. Carothers and Shugart will back the blockers.

Wlf'JGBACK - Early season indications have tailback Jackie Calvert trying out here with Williams, Reynolds, Kinney, and Mooney as understudies. It may be that veteran wingster, Ray Mathews, will be moved back to this slot. But only time will tell.

TAILBACK - Gage's gone-but by no means forgotten-as his running mate, Ray Mathews, looms as probable successor. Carol Cox, Bobby Thompson, Cook and Foard will study along side the "Old Faithful", hoping to take over his berth. All this goes to make up what is considered one of Clemson's best and most versatile backfields in history.

FULLBACK - The boy from Elmore, Alabama, Fred Cone, has little cause to worry about dropping from the Number One of­ fensive position here. Brodie and Pettigrew will help out, par­ ticularly on defense. Cone was a regular last year, and will remain such. Fine material, not too deep . •

THE PLAYERS • • • ENDS JOHN POULOS, one of Clemson's few seniors on the 1949 squad, is a veteran of the Pacific theater, and for the · second straight year will be the Tiger's mainstay at left end-he is considered by his coaches as one of the finest players on the squad-hails from Spartanburg-alternate captain for the team.

GLENN SMITH, former Washington, D. C., high school star­ one of the few sophomores currently holding down a first string berth for Clemson-Smith operates at right end-coaches be­ lieve he has possibilities of becoming the most outstanding end that Clemson has ever offered. Youngest squad member-only 19. JIM McCAULEY, cohort of Right End Glenn Smith, v11ll be h prime relief duty and understudy to John Poulos at flank-attended 1-AcK1nley Tech in his hometown (Washing D. C.,) where he was on the All-High, All-metropolitan a d championship teams.

GIL RUSHTON -was married 1n August-may have found h ass.gnmen: -...:.: r~ghl end-he has been moved from a backf1 position to guard and nov, is one of the better right flan m n his speed is noted by his track efforts, and experience gain while playing Army ball has aided him considerably-he pa ed with the Japan All-Stars. TACKLES ROBERT HUDSON -native of North Charleston-made his !1rst year a: C~emson in 1947 and added a second la t son-after playing right end for two years, he has been m over to right tackle to adequately fill the berth at 204 pou 1s expected to run first string for the Tigers this fall extr m fast: Runs 100 yard dash 1n 10.3.

LUKE DEANHARDT -native of Belton-will play his final s son ihis rear-the largest man on the squad-weighs 1n a is hard charging-actually a human bulldozer-his tackle .•__,, ,.von't yield to many opponents, a former end. BERNIE GRAHAM-hefty 230-pound tackle 1s one of two York Staie J:.,roducts on the Tiger team-was a member of chcmpionsh1p team of the "Niagara Frontier" for Kenmor H School - spec1al1z1ng 1n Horticulture and had a broth r formerly attended Clemson who played basketball and foo,~

BILLY GRIGSBY-played Class B football v11th Saluda H his hometown-married, a Navy vet, Grigsby could d v into a dynamic tackle. GUARDS JACK COX-from l

CENTER GE.NE O RE, JACK BRUNSON, new ly married, animal h usbandry studen t -chief understudy to Captain Moore. He played for Sumter High prior to enrolling at Clemson for the 1947 season. BACKS WYNDIE WYNDHAM, blocking back from Moncks Corner, is one of the college's top notch backs-doesn't k now h is own strength and will see plenty of defensive action this fall-Single handed, he took out two Missouri players at one time in the Gator Bowl game. DICK HENDLEY from Greenville, is playing his junior year for the Clemson Tigers and after operating defensively at full­ back last fall for the County Gentlemen-h as moved up to handle the top spot at blocking back.

FRANK CAROTHERS, probable blocking back who played with the All-State AA .champions of Rock Hill High in '45 and '46-nicknamed "Stoney", he is just as powerful and just as hard to take out as the name implies. FRED CONE hails from Elmore, Ala.-a powerful line-charg­ ing fullback-has little worry that anyone can move him out of the lead spot-made the All-Time Gator Bowl team for 1949 b e­ cause of his outstanding play in an intercollegiate football game between Clemson and the University of Missouri.

BONNEAU BRODIE, who led his Aiken High School team in scoring back in his pre-college days, may surprise e ve ryon e this fall-he looked exceptionally good with his 204 pound s at fullback during spring practice. A veteran of four years serv­ ice, he is possessor of seven battle stars with the U. S. Navy.

JACK CAL VERT from Spartanburg-one of the fastest men on

the squad-an, excellent kicker and potentially a g reat passer- present plans call for him to occupy a wingback berth after being moved over from tailback.

BOBBY WILLIAMS, popularly known as "Snag" -a product of Spartanburg high school-playing his final year for Clemson at wingback-can always be depended on when a few extra yards are needed-a vet, having seen duty in both Europea11 and Pacific theaters.

MIKE KINNEY has excellent possibilities as a future great at Clemson. A native of Valley Stream, N. Y.-is small (5- 10, 170 pounds), but speedy and agile on his feet-was a standout player on his high school team, which went undefeated his senior year-led his team in scoring-a fine kicker. RAY MATHEWS, a junior from McKeesport, Pa., is number O n e on the Tiger's list as their top player. Last season he won high scoring honors in the Southern Conference with 13 touch­ dow ns and made All-South Carolina and the All-Southern Sophomore team. He is Clemson's offering to the All-American listing- faces toughest job on the squad in an attempt to take over Bo bby Gage' s tailback position-has been tagged by Coach Howard as the "Old Faithful11 of the team-averaged 5. 7 y ards per try in 113 running attempts last year, caught 14 passes for 379 yards and added 169 yards via 5 pass comple­ tions out of 19 attempts-married, a two time letterman, having bee n discovered as a great collegiate back his freshman year at Clemson in 194 7. He weighs in at 180, stands 6 feet, and is 20 y ears old.

CAROL COX of Camden, returned to Clemson from the Ma ­ rin~s at the mid-194 7 season. He will probably see plenty of action at the tailback berth-is considered one of the more powerful and fleet-footed of the Tiger's backs-well known in albletic circles in the Carolinas-comes from a long line of ex­ cellent athletes.
