BY SANDERS
The 1957 season has opened, the Gamecocks have lost
their first battle against Duke's powerful Blue Devils, but
there's no sadness in Birdville. That is, as far as Coach
Warren Giese is concerned.
A loss is always hard to take for everyone, but Giese
told the players in the dressing room, "lift your heads up, you
haven't anything at all to be ashamed of." The Duke game
was important to all Carolina fans, but it certainly wasn't the
last game of the season, nor did it mean the death of the
Gamecocks.
In the beginning, Giese told everyone the team was
inexperienced, and actually that was the tale Saturday
night. Coach Bill Murray had done a fine job of check
ing out the Gamecocks, discovering the apparent weak
nesses in the South Carolina squad. Experience vs.
inexperience was the game, the Blue Devils being the
victor.
But, Giese told a press conference after the ball game
that his ball club had matured terrifically in the bruising
battle. Ile said, "they didn't lie down and (lie or quit." A
tribute to a fighting team.
AnyNway, there was never a more wonderful sight than
looking at a crowd of 40,000 sitting in the stands watching
two football giants in action. There always seems to be an
added feature to an attraction when one realizes that he
helped set a new state football attendance record. The future
does, indeed, look bright.
A GAMECOCK LAMENT
Actually this is an open letter to Jack Breibart of the
Raleigh News and Observer, who said in a local column that
the Gamecocks just weren't in the big leagues Saturday
night and Duke was. Well, Mr. Breibart, even the big
leaguers as you call them get beat sometimes.
And, Mr. Breibart, the ACC, ALL EIGHT TEAMS,
are in the big leagues. Take a look at last Saturday's
games, both in and outside the conference. Facts speak
for themselves, sir.
CONFIDENCE REIGNS
At a recent Board of Trustees meeting here at the Uni
versity, Coach Warren Giese was put on a tenure by the
Board, which in effect means a life-time job for him if he
so choses. A tribute to a young man who has earned for both
himself and the University a lasting name.
This tenure, of course, doesn't bind Giese to remain
at Carolina, but this arrangement seems to be a rare
security which few coaches around the nation enjoy.
The contract was torn up when the tenure was placed
on Giese.
This corner was certainly glad to see such a move. A

Win Of S
The Gamecocks go after theii
first victory of the season to
morrow night at Carolina Stadium
as they play the Terriers from
Wofford College. Game time is
8 o'clock. .
Word coming from Spartanburg,
home of the Terriers, indicate the
Methodist boys are out for blood
and are quite confident that vic
tory is within their grasp. They
believe the victory famine against
Carolina may be nearing an end.
The Terriers, coached by Conley
Snidow, have been impressive in
their first two games this fall.
In the first game, they downed
Western Carolina 27-7 as Jerry
Richardson, the all-state end last
year, scored 15 points on two
touchdowns and three extra
points.
Last Saturday night as the
Gamecocks were being defeated by
the strong Duke Blue Devils, the
Terriers were defeating Lenoir
Rhyne, a team which had not suf
fered a defeat since 195.1, by a
score 13-6.
There are many Spartanburg
and Wofford fans planning ex
eursions to Columbia tomorrow
for the state battle. Interest in
the intra-state game is high.
Gamecock Coach Warren Giese
:ays the Wofford optimism is not
n ithout foundation.
"Thhey were extremely effective
against us last year," said Giese,
and they have an explosive
et:im that can score from any posi
tiun on the field. Preparing for
them will be difficult.'"
ietse'si team was held to a 7-7
deailock with the Terriers in last
year's opener before the Game
cocks finally got going in the see
ond half to win, 26-13.

Wofford, a proud winning tradi
tion in South Carolina "small col
lege" football, has numerous
"major college" scalps among its
gridiron trophies. For instance,
Furman and The Citadel have lost
more than they have won against
the Terriers since 1947. Once,
mighty Auburn was surprised by
the Spartanburg team.
Since 1947, when they came into
football prominence, the Terriers
have won 68, lost 28 and tied eight.
'If they play us with nine men,"
said Carolina's Giese, "I'd say
they wouldn't have much of a
chance; but they'll have 11 play
ers out there, and our 11 men will
have to play hard if they expect
to beat this team."
At press-time, Coach Warren
Giese has made several changes
in the Gamecock starting 11, but
no announcement as to the start
irg line-up for tomorrow's game
had been made.
Bill Jerry and Jimmy Merck
were elevated to the first unit in
place of tackle John Kompara and
guard Tommy Addison and Charlie
.Johnson was first team center at
the beginning of the week, re
placing Lawton Rogers.
W. L. Strickland moved up to
the alternate unit in other
changes, and sophomore fullback
4ohn Saunders moved to the alter
nate team behind first-string Don
Johnson. Bobby Barrett, the hard
luck player from West Va., is out
for the remainder of the season
because of a broken arm suffered
in the I)uke encounter.
Jerry Richardson and Charlie
Bradshaw, the end and quarter
hack of the Terrier team are con
sidered to be among the best in
the business and have already
shown they can be trouble for
their opponents.
