blocking.
Enright's No. l T play is the Off

These bread-and-butter plays
are the basis for such refinements
as Clemson Right Halfback Ray

Wadiak.
End-around Play Popular.
They also in the T serve to set

that probably has scored more
often in this State Fair series
than all others put together.
In addition to Mathews, Glenn

Zach Taylor, a converted half
back, probably will run at full

Ed Pasky and Sophomore Dick
Balka are the quarterbacks. Pasky
is a deceptive ball handler, while
Balka probably is the better passer,

COLUMBIA, s. c., Oct. IT.
The single wing and the basic
T formations will be pitted in
the 48th annual State Fair
Clemson-South Carolina football
game here Thursday.
Coach Frank Howard of Clemson
has backfeld quartet perfectly
adapted to running the single
wing. mainstay of football for
decades.
It's repertoire of wing plays has
sent Clemson into this game
ranked 18th in the Nation on its
undefeated, united, unscored-on
record.
South Carolina counters with
pair of ace halfbacks for the T.
formation, two competent quarter
backs, but a makeshift fullback
replacing injured Chuck Prezioso.
Earmarks of the two systems
include the single wings unbal-
anced line and the Us tight bal
anced forward wall. Both systems
stress backfield deception in ball
handling.
The single wing emphasizes
concentrated blocking power, the
T stresses quick line blocking and
deft deception.
Clemson Uses Wide Swing.
Howard's single wing, except on
direct fullback smashes into the
center of the line will find at
least two backs handling the ball
on pivots or reverses before the
play develops.
Coach Rex Enright's T sends
the ball carrier at the line of
scrimmage before people in the
stands can tell whether the spin
ming quarterback has handed off
or kept the ball.
The single wing relies on huge
holes ana mass blocking; the T
on narrow. but quick line openings.

'Titone Rallies 10 Win
Over Ramos; Wallace
Adds 10 K0 Strinq

Charley Titone's ability to take
punishment saved him last night
in the main bout at Turner's
Arena. The Brooklyn feather
weight was battered around rather
freely by the unorthodox Luis
Ramos of Puerto Rico in the early
going, but after weathering this
furry Titone came back to win
handily.
Ramos, shooting fast hooks from
both sides and displaying a gen.
eral brawling style of fighting
worried Titone in the first few
rounds, particularly in the third
when the Brooklyn boy was rocked
back. Titone back-pedaled to
keep out of serious trouble and
coming out for the fourth started
keeping Ramos away with left
jabs.
After that Titone's classier box
ing took control of the match and
he won the unanimous decision.
Coley Wallace, promising heavy
weight from New York. added to
his knockout string by stopping
Washington's Ben Harrison in the
fourth round. At that, Harrison
proved tougher than Wallace's
previous opponents and absorbed
some solid jaunts before folding.
Seven previous Wallace opponents
had gone away in the first or sec
ond round.
Another knockout in the prelims
was scored by Jimmy Balderson
in 81 seconds of the first round
over Johnny Fields. In other pre-
Inns. Tommy Bohak deciSioned
