TWENTY-NINE COMES BEFORE THIRTY: Or items from
here, there, and no where.
'rhe fellow with the long white beard and the hour-glass says
this is the time. . . the last time this column is to appear in the
Gamecock. Under the above title-which confused many at the out
set and probably more at the finish-your somewhat weekly jottings
have appeared for four semesters. The photograph accompanying the
column is the same one employed when PRC was begun. In fact
it was used when you were sports editor of the pages now given
that beatific Belton touch by Jim McKinney. '.
As Fd McGrath remarked the other (lay during one of those
rare moments when his voice wasn't miked: "The foto is the same,
but the jokes have grown older." A fine fellow, Ed. He has a mes
sage for the world-even if it's only about the reduced prices on one
cent chewing gum or the mystical power of a breakfast food.
Getting back to this McKinney kid, this babe in alms, begging for
notoriety. In his Beltonion burping manner he said to you the other
(lay. "You know, George, that was an interesting column you wrote
about Jim Young and Ed McGrath. But when I got through it,
I found out you didn't say anything."
You took this bit of grammatical metaphysics to Floyd Rodgers
because Floyd, onetime University press agent, knew you when you
were fresh out of Brooklyn-or the scene of the 1940 World Series.
Said Floyd, "Well, it took you four years to accomplish that."
And there it was . . . the saga of four years . . . the metamorphosis
of a man with a purpose to a purveyor of purposeless puns. There
is no extra charge for the alliteration. In fact you can get it whole
sale.
Before you resurrect some campus memories, you herewith write
your parting bit of wit, your final play on words intended for this
column.
It seems that Hitler, the twentieth century fox, wrote a note to
Winston Churchill. It is said, in brief: "I hate you because your
fleet's too big." If Fats Waller ever heard that one, he'd turn over
his piano.

FOUR YEARS BEFORE THE BLITZKRIEGS, you came
dixieward-because of the late Thomas Wolfe-to continue your ed
ucation. . . then came a year of rooming with John McCutcheon, the
boy who made all "A's" in law school. John read Blackstone, you
continued with Hemingway and Hecht . . . One day you went look
ing for Dinky Williams, expecting to find a little guy with glasses.
He turned out to be a big fellow with unbounded energy. Through
Williams your career in campus journalism was launched. And with
it came what you prefer to catalogue as the Tribble-Williams-Hodes
era, which probably was the most hectic period in the history of the
Gamecock.. There was another member of this fulminant fraternity
of the fourth estate. You somewhat lost track of him. When last
seen he was wearing a tuxedo and consorting with the canteen so
ciety.
Williams is now a Columbia Record reporter. Tribble is public
relations counsel for the Carolina Motor Club in Charlotte. And
Hodes is in Chicago doing some sort of propaganda for a steel out
fit.
After this trio passed from the campus to take a whirl at the
world, your next episode began. It was entitled, or shall be, the
Passaic Period-or the time you and Ed McGrath formed the ath
letic publicity team. . . we had a hellava time, mostly good. . . Mc
Grath's prose poetry was credited to you with your byline and vice
versa. . . You went to Cincinnati alone to beat the drums for the
Carolina-Xavier gridiron battle. . . then McGrath and you became
two on an island-Manhattan island. . . a week in New York spent
trying to get a good crowvd at the Polo Grounds for the Fordham
game. . . At the end of the week we had a trunkful of favorable press
notices, radio programs, and general good-will. . . Then came Satur
day and with it a thunderstorm that kept most of the customers at
home.
Then came the senior year. . . editing the Gamecock. . . turning out
sports publicity alone. . . wvriting this column. . . thinking of going
away on the rye bread section of the breadline.
Those were the days, you'll probably say. . . especially since the
future seems to be the front lines somewhere in someplace where the
sounds are loud and not so distant.
Before thirty, you abandon the dlevise of the second person singu
lar and say:
I hail thee, Carolina.
