noon, 19-13.
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.

The overall Sports Trophy is
presented to the fraternity every
year that accumulates the most
number of points in intramural
athletics. These points are gained
through having championship
teams and entering in all activi
ties. At the close of every school
year the points are totaled and the
fraternity receiving the meal
points is presented the trophy the
following year.
The trophy was supposed t(
have been awarded at halftime of
the Carolina-Clemson game but
the other activities involving "Big

Well, its all over. 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.
