THE END OF THE TRAIL
After playing eight unpredictable games, the Gamecocks con
up to their last game of the season tomorrow to meet Pen
State-one of the strongest teams on their schedule. Pen
State has been beaten only twice and both of those defeats can
early in the season. All the other games have been won by
two to six touchdown margin.
As the season has progressed, the Nittany Lions have
Ricked up like a rolling snowball and it will take a red hot
team to make 'em melt. If the Gamecocks were in the
condition they were at the first of the season, we feel sure
that they could stop the Lions but with the line-up look
fing like n. jumbled croam-word puzzle, it's hard to say.
But don't forget that there will be 13 seniors out on the fiel
tomorrowv wo will strut their stuff because they wvill be wea
ing the Garnet and Black for the last time. So all in all, o
believe the Penn Staters will go into the game like a lion but ii
come out like a lamb.
THE GAMECOCK'S ALL-STATE
It is customary for The Gamecock sports editor to select a
All-State team. If there's a single reader who would agr(
with me on all eleven positions, I wouldn 't think he had a mini
of his own. But here goes...
E-Steve Nowak, South Carolina.
T-Bobo Carter, South Carolina.
G-Ritchie Belser, The Citadel.
0-Louis Sossamon, South Carolina.
G-Bill Applegate, South Carolina.
T-George Fritts, Clemson.
E-Joe Blalock, Clemson.
B-Stan Stasica, South Carolina.
B-Booty Payne, Clemson.
B-Al Grygo, South Carolina.
B-Dutch Elstori, South Carolina.
When an All-State team is selected, I believe it should I
made on the basis of the performance of the p)layers in the Stai
galpes andl this is what I tried to do. I sincerely believe thn
Gamecocks should dominate hecause of the stellar perfornmanc<
of the individual Birds in their State games with Clemson, TI
Citadel and Furman.
MUSINGS .. .
The Gamnecocks loss of 13 seniors wvill be the b)iggest grat
ntion blow in many a year . . . About 30 students reaehe
Miami one way or another last week-end . . . The Gamiecocli
'learned the supreme lesson in that it's the score that counts..
After this week, sports attention will turn to intramurals, bat:
ketball, boxing, fencing, tennis and swimming . . . The Clemso
putblicity machine has been building the Tigers up for a bov
the last couple of weeks but it has slyly omitted mention of thi~
Thursday afternoon that the Gamecocks showed the Tigers tl
way home.
