Gamecock St, ~M w MORDECAI PERSKY ounting Cickeni Working on the assumption that there is still something to be said about Carolina Clemson games, the Gamecock has asked its columnists to come through with it. Whatever it is (this thing that hasn't been said), it isn't in the standard South Carolina vocabulary. The game has the distinction of being praised in the colossal terms of motion picture publicity while it is being hooted and cursed in other quarters. And there are reports of violent indifference outside the state's borders. Here indeed is an item that has run the gamut of oral and written emotion and description. It is interesting, though, to note the sources of the hoots and curses, as well as the time of year they rend the air. We note that the complaints are from Clemson fans, im mediately following a Clemson loss, and continuing until a shred of honor is regained. Four long years ago, in 1948, Clemsonians got their last glimpse of a fleeing honor. In the three games since then the Tigers have been alternately physically beaten, morally beaten in a physical tie, and physically, morally, and spiritually burned at the stake-in that order. In the old days, when Tiger victories were abundant, Clemsonians were content to spend a few brisk October days at the state fair-in enemy territory. Then they were con querors, flaunting their hideous color combination in the faces of the vanquished. Now adays it's different. The present routine runs something like this: The confident invader arrives, nll smiles and IPTAY stickers. He spends Thursday morning dropping casual hints about a race of supermen dubbed "tailbacks." He speaks of the likes of Red Grange, Jackie Calvert, Ozark Ike, and Billy Hair, in many-metaphored comparisons. Then he plunges into the sea of warriors who occupy thirty-five thousand seats in Carolina Stadium. During the course of the afternoon he stops smiling, regrets his IPTAY sticker, and starts wondering how Newberry and PC will do next week. After three consecutive years at this routine, he is pretty fed up with the surroundings where this routine is enacted. le is also vaguely dis turbed about the entire month of October, and divorces his wife, whose birthday is October seventeenth. Then he wonders if this game can't be played some other place, some other time. Anything to change the routine. The suggestion that results annoys us, in particular. Clemsonians would like to have the game played on a home and home basis, at the end of each team's season. It has suddenly become unfair to play in enemy territory, even though fans and players are evenly Sdivided. The Tigers are too gentlemanly to mention it in print, but they wvouldn't put hiring a rainmaker past the known-to-be-morally-corrupt Gamecocks-nd there is even a possi1 bility that the stadium gardener has been instructed to plant a clump of grass in the exact spot where a key Clemson play is scheduled to originate.
