"4r^ Todays Gaitie If today's Tiger-Wolfpack battle is anything like some of those previous 45 meetings between the two charier members of the ACC. then buckle up. The rivalry is best remembered for the days when Frank Howard stalked the Clemson sideline wonder- ing what State s Earle Edwards was going to conjure up on the other side of the field. Certainly one of the most exciting was Clemson's 1 4-6 win in 1 967 (See Buddy Gore's recollection of that game on Page 7) when the Tigers came out in Orange shoes. State's defensive unit had become famous that season wearing White shoes. Then one year later in Raleigh, a Tiger comeback gave Clemson a 24-19 win and Howard a budding new tailback named Ray Yauger. Tigers,Wolfpack It's an unpredictable senes. Take the 1971 game. Although State had managed but two wins all year, the Wolfpack ended the season in Death Valley with an exciting In ACC Showdown 31-23 win. And State found a budding sophomore back named Willie Burden, the third-best rusher in Wolfpack history. Today s encounter pits the same rivals, only the names have been changed. State's Johnny Evans is the league's leading player in total offense. His passing arm is a deadly weapon. Evans has hit 64 of 141 passes for 963 yards. Although Clemson's Steve Fuller, like Evans a candidate for AII-ACC honors, doesn't have that many yards via the pass, he ranks behind the State signal-caller in total offense with 929 yards. But don't expect State to rely on the Evans arm alone. The Pack brings a pair of running backs to Tigertown that any team in the country would like to have in Ted Brown and Billy Ray Vickers. Already State's all-time career rushing leader in only his junior year, Brown has 625 yards in 110 carries this season, and 2.626 total. He played in only seven varsity games his freshman year, but Clemson folks should remember him. In 24 carries, Brown set a State single-game rushing mark with 227 yards and four touchdowns. Only a sophomore, Vickers has netted 487 yards on 89 rushes. Clemson's top rushers are Lester Brown and Warren Ratchford with 339 and 318 yards, respectively. Fleet Jerry Butler is Fuller s top aenal partner with 23 receptions for 450 yards, and the Charlotte. N. C. duo of Dwight Clark and Rick Weddington have grabbed nine each for 162 and 1 19 yards, respectively. State brings the league's top total offensive team into today's game, and top sconng team. Clemson hopes to counter with a defensive unit that has been stingy this fall, and one ranked second in the conference in total defense. Charley Pell's defensive heroes have been many, although linebackers Randy Scott. Bubba Brown, and Ronnie Smith, and end Mark Heniford are the team's top tacklers. Steve Ryan, a starting free safety who came to Clemson without a scholarship after transferring from North Carolina A&T. heads the team in interceptions with four. DT Jim Stuckey had an exceptional game against Duke, including a pass intercep- tion that set up Clemson's first TD, and a bone-crushing tackle that stripped Blue Devil quarterback Mike Dunn of the football to give the Tigers possession at their own 21 to halt a Duke sconng drive. But don't assume anything about this rivalry other than the fact that both teams are still in the running for the ACC title along with three other teams. North Carolina, with a 2-0 record, leads the race with the Wolfpack second at 3-1 The Tigers and Maryland are both 2-1, and Duke is 1-1. Program Editor 1 . Jerry Butler is one of the country's top scoring threats every time he touches the football. 2. Although Ken Callicuti has rushed for only 66 yards tnis season after missing the 76 campaign and the 77 spring drills, he is Clemson's fourth-leading all-time rusher with 1 ,952 yards and a very big part of this '77 Tiger team. 3. Steve Ryan is one of the ACC's leading pass interceptors with four. 4. Soph Jim Stuckey had a big day for the Tig defense at Duke last Saturday. 3 first place in fashion meLiers/arnold All-For-You Policy Meyers Arnold started and grew on an all-for-you policy Since 1903 Meyers Arnold has maintained its position of first in fashion by constantly sending its buyers to markets throughout the country.
