Under those glaring units, the following story ap peared: "The University of South Caro lina's fast, alert, spirited football team tumbled the mighty Clemson Tigers from the ranks of the na tion's unbeaten, untied football teams with a smashing 18-14 vic tory at Carolina stadium last Thursday. The game was played before a record crowd of 22,000. "Playing one of the most spir ited games seen in the history of the 39-year-old rivalry, the Game cocks scored all three of their touchdowns in the first half and then fought valiantly to protect their lead against a last-quarter Tiger rally. "The game was less than five minutes old when Stan Stasica, sophomore star from Rockford, Ill., handed the ball to Ken Roskie on a reverse, and the versatile Roskie passed to Dutch Elston for 14 yards and a touchdown. Mike Patrone was rushed into the fray to kick the extra point but his at tempted conversion was low. "After Roskie had run 30 yards for a touchdown and it had been called back because Carolina's backfield was in motion, the Gamecocks moved steadily into Clemson territory. Stasica flipped a six-yard pass to Roskie for the second Gamecock touchdown. Again Patrone's attempted conversion was low. "Carolina's third score came with only a few minutes left in the first half.

Al Grygo, who was out of most of the game due to injuries, scored from the three-yard line. Joe Krivonak's place kick for the extra point was no good and as the gun ending the first half sounded, the Gamecocks led 18-0. "After the half-time intermis sion the Bengals from Clemson roared back. Late in the third quarter "Booty" Payne passed 30 yards to Franklin who ran 30 more yards to cross the goal line stand ing. Timmons booted the extra point and Carolina led 18-7. "After several successful passes the Tigers again struck paydirt. With five playing minutes left the Bengals scored as Payne crashed off tackle for three yards and a touchdown. Again Timmons kicked the point, narrowing the Gamecock lead to 18-14. "The last five minutes of the game were probalily the most ex citing five minutes of football seen in these parts in many years. "On a fake kick Payne passed to Blalock for a 30-yard gain and with the ball resting on Carolina's 24-yard line it looked as if the Tigers would score again. The Gamecock line, fighting desper ately, held and took over the ball as Payne was tackled a yard short of a first down.
