While it might have been people, the Carolina men tha1 point, certainly had nothing to be thankful for. And also deserve no thanks for a dismal performance. Before entering the "Carrousel Bowl" game, the Gamecocks were 7 won and 2 Tost for the season. Provided they could beat an under dog team from Wake Forest, it would have been the best record for a Carolina team since the sport was introduced here. But as all Gamecock teams usually do toward the end of the season, they failed. Carolina received the opening kickoff and immediately went the distance with Captain Gene Wilson *&ing over from the two to score. It looked at this point as if the Gamecocks might gain their re venge. All the first quarter they looked spotty, but still showed some resemblances of having the fine team that they actually possess. The following three quarters 'were ones that Gamecock sup porters will remember even into next football season. The vengeful crew that they were, the Carolina men were actually Leaten with no excuses. The only other score that the Gamecocks were able to muster came on a pass from Gramling to Blackie Kincaid who ran the ball approximately 35 yards. While in the minds of Carolina rooters there can be found a feel ing of appraisal, there can also be detected a small feeling of disap pointment. The Gamecocks lost to only two teams before the Thanks giving embarrassment and these were to two of the most powerful teams in the nation. This game with the Wake Forest -beacons brought to a close the 1953 football season. The vengeful Gamecocks sought every method available to repay them for a long remembered debt. However, to no avail, and they were defeated by an inferior team of some two or three touchdowns. In spite of this, the Carolina men emerged with a 7-3 record for the season. SECONDINA ROW .

No more foot all for another year. No more ,ramling to Bennett, no more Wil on off tackle, and above all, no iore major records to be broken. lut, while the jerseys are being ut away, let's think of the one uestion that means so much to ie college student-"Are we roud of our team?" We should be proud of our !am. Not only for winning seven ames and losing three, but for the pirit that was shown through the ntire season. It makes no dif erence whether or not the games rere won, but how they were layed. Years from now they will nly be records in books, but the layers themselves will be out in he world working for a living. 'hey will be teaching others the ame. Whether it be in a high chool or on a corner sand lot. It ; the manner in which they are aught, that will influence others. t is the fair play that was evident his year that can really make us roud of our team. If we can put out a team that an build character, we will have ecomplished our goal, and in my pinion we have done that. A few f us remember how the late Steve Vadiak influenced the youth of his city. It is not so surprising iow many junior Gramlings, Ben ketts, Wilsons, and Cunninghams ve have playing on our play ,rounds. This is truly a tribute rom those kids who, without the thletic heroes, would be junior angsters. This is the reason why we have thletics. It is for this reason that ee are proud of our team. If we ver embark on a program to build owerhouses instead of character hen we have lost the aim of the port. If the plyers fail to see the rue value of football, then they ave cheated the sport and them elves. To all those seniors who have layed their last football game, -e say thanks. We wish you best f everything. We hole that you re as proud of your school as we re proud of you.
