the '52 outlook What happens when th~ irrepressible force meets the immovable
object? Coach Frank Hc,ward, whose 1952 varsity football prospects are being called thE: finest in history and whose 1952 football schedule is being called the toughest in history, figures to find ot1t between now and th,~ end of the season.
Ho,:va1·d's Tigers may very well be compared to irrepressible forces. There are plenty of them, they've had the experience (33 lettermen on hand, 21 of whom played on the '50 Orange Bowl and '51 Gator Bowl teams alike) and they're big and fast.
But, these Tigers play a schedule in 1952 which shows no signs of a ' 'breather'' after the Presbyterian opener. Teams like Villanova Maryland, Florida, Fordham, Boston College, Kentucky, Auburn and South Carolina are all capable of beating Clemson if any letup is suffered by the Palmettans. They could prove immovable.
To do the moving, Howard has added to his offensive attack in several ways. He'll employ ''rule'' blocking in place of ''assignment '' blocking, he'll rely more on the buck-lateral type plays than ever before and he'll occassionally line up his wingback to the side of the fullback in order to give the wing ball-carrier a faster start.
As for finding the personnel to man the varsity offensive line, that looks like the big headache. Gone are three-year regulars Glenn Smith, Dan DiMucci, Pete Manos and Jack Mooneyhan. All played first string offensive ball. There are a number of lettermen and ot1tstanding sophomore scrambling for the vacated posts. Elsewhere, Clemson should be as strong as ever-maybe stronger.
Offensive and defensive backs are three deep and with experience behind them. Billy Hair, the Southern Conference's top back of 1951 from a yards-gained standpoint, is again the key man, and without exception his running mates of last year are still on hand. Fred (Knobby) Knoebel, whose 13 passes intercepted in two years is an all-time Clemson record, heads the Pete Cook-Archie BakerKnoebel defensive secondary which didn't allow a scoring pass in 1951.
The defensive line, rated by most as Clemson's strongest point last season, is almost intact. Gone is Bob Patton at one tackle, but taking his place is Nathan Gressette, who played enough in '51 to be called a ''first stringer." Linebacker Don Wade is also gone, and a battle royal is taking place among a half dozen candidates for the vacated position. Ranking with Clemson's all-time greats are Guard Tom (Black Cat) Barton and End Dreher Gaskin.

building program at Clemson didn't pay dividends until 1948. Howard a11d the many Tiger fans have had little to complain of since.
In 1948-Clemson wen.t through a 10-game season unbeaten and untied, and defeated a s trong Missouri team, 24-23, in the Gator Bowl.
In 1949-The Tigers suffered from inexperience in the line but scored almost as many toucl .. downs as they did in '48. Though disappointed with the record of four wins, four losses and two ties, Clemson supporters were pleased with the offensive ball played.
In 1950-Clemson went through its second unbeaten season in three }rears and defeated Miami, 15-14, in the Orange Bowl.
In 1951-The Tigers' lack of backfield depth told against South Carolina and College of Pacific, but even so, Howard's team finished among the nation's ''top twenty,'' as judged by the Associated Press, and was given a bid to the Gator Bowl.
Howard is by anybody's standards a character. With his pate now almost completely void of hair, his ever-present plug of chewing tobacco in one side of his mouth, his widespread stance with his hands on his hips, never fails to win over anybody within earshot of his rasping drawl.
''All right, if you want to kill time, let's work it to death,'' or ''Boy, we ain 't even playin' T-formation, much less tea party," he shouts during practice sessions.
And the last thing H oward says to players as they start out on the practice field befor e a game might be ''Are you the kind of Tigers that say ''meow' or 'grrrr?' '' Their play usually indicates the latter.

Location: Clinton, South Carolina

Coach ''Lonnie Mac'' expects some improvement over last year's squad, which compiled a 5-4 record, although he's expecting only twelve lettermen to return. He was well-pleased with his spring drills, but three men have been lost since that ti111e.
The Blue Hose will build their attack around speed in the backfield with a strong sprinkling of passes again this year. The quarterback spot is well-staffed with two left-handers and two righthanders doing the throwing. As in '51, they will use a varied of-fense.
,
The top backs are Jack ''Lefty'' Harper at quarterback and Tommy Jordan at halfback. Jordan is the state dash champ. End Joe Kirven, '51 second team All-State, and Center Tommy Guillebeau are the men to watch in the line.
Series Record: Total games played 33. Clemson won 26, lost three, and tied for four.

Coach: Arthur Raimo, Villanova '38
Sports Publicity: Eugene J. Ruane
Colors: Blue and White
Location: Villanova, Pa.
The Tigers close their short home slate and observe the an11ual Homecoming Day with a schedule debut against the \ Tillanova Wildcats, also called Main Liners. A strong contender last season, the Wildcats suffered two upsets at the last that dulled a11 other-wise bright record.
They are picked to finish even stronger this fall with theiI· entire '51 backfield back intact and the addition of a couple of flashy West Point transfers. A burly line, both on offense and defense, add weight to their prominence. The only weak point is a lack of
depth.
Big men in the line are '51 All-Eastern Center Joe DuBose, 235-pound Tackle Bill Hegart)r, and End Ray Rigney. That all-I·etuI·11ee backfield is composed of Team Captain Bob Hane1~, Dick Bedesem, Be11 Addiego and Bill B1~annau.

Courtesy of the Southern Conference, Clemson meets Maryland in what various sportswriters have already named the ''Blackball Bowl'' and, though he doesn't single out the Tigers specifically, Marse Jim Tatum is not overly optimistic about the chances of his '52 opponents. With at least three All-America prospects plus a host of other dependable hosses, what coach would be.
The Sugar Bowl Champs are rated the nation's top team for this fall and are going to ride to glory on the shoulders of Quarterback Jack Scar bath, Fullback Ed Fullerton, and Tackle Dick ''Little Mo'' Modzelewski. Other names, to numerous to mention, fill out a star-studded roster.
It goes without saying that, on the basis of pre-season potential> the Clemson mentors pick Maryland as the Tigers' toughest for '52.
Series Record: Total games played 1 (1907). Clemson won 34-0.

Coach Bob Woodruff has a rebuilding job to do on his 'Gato1·s before he'll consider them ready for the tough '52 slate he has lined up for them. The loss of Haywood Sullivan to the pro baseball ranks leaves him without one of the most capable quarteI·backs in the business, but in pre-season planning he was conside1 .. -ing transferring Rick Casares, an able performer at fullba,ck last season, to the vacated post.
Other· losses include Right End Bobb)r Knight to the Army a11d six othe1-- regulars via the graduation route. On the othe1-- side of the ledger, vVoodruff has some heft in l1is li11e, notably Tackle Cha1--ley LaPradd, and he expects help from a trio of \1eJ·)1 p1--01nis-ing s01)hs.

October 23 at Columbia, S. C.-2:00 p.m.
Coach: Rex Enright, Notre Dame '26
Sports Publicity: Don Barton
Colors: Red and Black
Location: Columbia, S. C.
The only good thing Tiger followers could find about last year's Big Thursday tussle was that they wouldn't have to look at Steve Wadiak any more. They, along with the Clemson mentors and players, hope they won't have to settle for any such negative pleasure this time, but publicity releases from the Gamecock stronghold indicate that Halfback Bobby Drawdy may cause just as much wear and tear on the nerves.
Bill W ohrman gets almost as good advance billing in Drawdy's old fullback post and Gene Wilson is counted on to be a threat from the other halfback. Veterans Johnny Gramling and Dick Balka are ably qualified for the man-under duties.
Enright took the majority of the Palmetto prep school crop this summer so it all adds up to a stronger, more talented attack than has been seen in the Gamecock camp since the war. For the Big Thursday contest, South Carolina is the definite pre-season fav-orite.
Series Record: Total games played 49. Clemson won 29, lost 17,
and tied three.

October 31 at Boston, Mass.-8:30 p.m.
Coach: Michael J. Holovak, Boston College, '43
Sports Publicity: Charley Harvey
Colors: Maroon and Gold
Location: Chestnut Hill1 Newton, Mass.
Clemson Coach Frank Howard has called the '51 edition of the Eagles ''one of the toughest teams all-round we met'' despite the Tigers 21-2 victory. Boston finished strong with upsets over highlyfavored Villanova and Holy Cross and most of the winning combination is returning.
Quarterback Jimmy Kane, a passing marvel as a freshman, returns as an experienced soph to lead the attack. The rest of the backfield is made up of veterans classed as first stringers last year.
The Eagle forward wall averages over 200 pounds with plenty of speed to go with the heft. Look for Joe Johnson to be the top runner and End Bob Flanagan and Tackle Jimmy Coghlin to be the high lights in the line.
The genial Holovak is tacit about his prospects, but this could be the year that the Eagles get back to their pre-war par.
Series Record: Total games played eight. Clemson won five,
lost three.

The F ordham fray marks two ''first'' for the Tigers. This will be the first time they've ever tangled with the Rams and it will be their first appearance in the Big Town. Any joy brought on by the novelty . however, may be banished by the reception that Coach Danowski has planned.
Last year saw the Rams gaining experience while compiling a 5-4 record with sophomores. Those veterans will be back this fall v.,~ith added assistance from a capable reserve force.
The headliner is double-duty-man Vinny Drake who can pass a country mile and is sudden death as a linebacker. Without Drake, though, the Rams can display a formidable backfield quartet in Quarterback Roger Franz, Halfbacks Dave Ficca and Jack Hyatt, and Fullback John Griffin.
The Rams bulwark their straight-T and split-T maneuvers with a line above-average in the weight department.
Series Record: This will be the first meeting.

The Wildcat fans are justly singing the blues over the loss of thei1 .. topflight quarterback, Babe Parilli, but don't sell Coach Bryant short. A coach in the Bear's class doesn't get caught \\rith l1is

ALABAMA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE (Tigers or Plainsmen)
November 22 at Auburn, Ala.-2:00 p.m.
Coach: Ralph Jordan, Auburn '32
Sports Publicity: Bill Beckwith
Colors: Burnt Orange and Navy Blue
Location: Auburn, Ala.
The finale finds the Clemson Tigers meeting the Auburn Tigers, and, if anybody was ever due, the Plainsmen should be this year. During the past two years, Clemson has shut out Auburn and used them as stepping stones to bowl bids. Jordan has the material to turn the tables this fall.
A raw Plainsman team started strong last year, came of age with a 21-0 shellacking of Tulane in midseason, but suffered in the home stretch. They seem to have enough gas to go all the way this fall.
The man in the driver's seat will be mighty mite Jackie Creel, a 139-pound H-bomb. His lack of weight on the roster is more than balanced by the ponderous lineman -- such standouts as Soph Tackles Don and George Rogers, both six-five and 225 pounds with speed enough to cop honors in Alabama high school track circles.
All positions are well-staffed. The only thing that will keep the Plainsmen off the top of the heap is a no-breather slate.
Series Record: Total games played 33. Clemson has won eleven,
lost 20 and tied two.
