Three members of the student group left the office and went to the home of- President Norman Smith. He stated that the Board of Trustees accepted the recom mendations of the faculty group. With this pertinent information in mind, the student committee agreed to meet at 10 o'clock the next morning with the president to discuss the problem.* Prevwnt at the meeting were Coach Enright, Dr. Penny, Dick Anderson, and Mr. Stradley, the university car penter, as well as the president. The foliowing conciusions were reached: There was no perfect solution to the problem of seating at the Clemson-Carolina game this year. Emergency arrangements were mate to allow the sale of the re maining date tickets. Five aisles were to be used in the reserve sec tion to seat students. This gave about 440 seats. Stands were erected to accommodate about an other 100; and a series of benches along the fence would be set up to take care of about 200 students. Thus only the space for the 740 date tickets was added to the seats already allotted. The faculty group recognized that the greater part of the dif ficulty was due to the inadequacy of the original allotment of seats to the students. They agreed that further corrections would be made for the ,emainder of the games this years A section of the east stands at the 25-yard line would be kept for the student overflow. This faculty group also said that the student committee would be allowed to meet with the faculty committee and work out a suit able conclusion before the end of the year to prevent a similar con dition in the future. The student committee realized that at this game there could be no real solution on their part, and they resolved themselves to mak ing the best of a deplorable situa tion. The g,tudent committee wants It clearly understood that it has merely volunteered its services to help ease the problems of this particular game. It is NOT as suming the responsibility of the possible consequences of this in corrigible condition.

This year, for the first time, the symbol of the rivalry between the two schools will be at stake. A 14-inch, gold tea-cup, "T" for Thursday, has been selected by the Blue Key chapters as a trophy and will be forwarded to the win ner of today's classic. The state championship again falls to the winner of this game, with the winning team having a shot at conference and national honors. The loser must console himself with thoughts of "next year." T'he undefeated Clemson team, currently ranked seventh in the nation by the Williamson system, is definitely favored over the Gamecocks, who lost their last game to Tulane. Coach Frank Howard has the best team of his coaching career at Clemson and will be out to revenge the lickings that Carolina has handed his boys for the past two years. He features a power ful line that has given up only one touchdown and an offensive that has accumulated twelve touchdowns in the three games played to date. Carolina has been practicing behind locked gates since the Tu lane game to perfect their highly effective defense against a single wing attack. The Gamecocks also have a powerful defense, having been scored on only by Tula-ne.
