ANDERS BY SANDERS Editor's Note: This article appeared in the September issue of SCHOLASTIC COACH and is of such quality that the editors of The Gamecock feel it should be repro4uced for the students and~ Jollowers of Mr. Warren Giese,head football coach at the Univer sity of South Carolina. r Jerry R. Sanders Sports Editor THE GENTLEMAN FROM CAROLINA Somebody up there must have liked us last winter. Fate sent opportunity around to our front door, and we recognized his knock B immediately. We threw open our portals and in he flew. Opportunity wore the guise of a dinner- invitation. It seemed that Warren Giese, who had made such a smashing head-coaching debut at South Carolina, was playing host to a group of local prospects and r a Gamecock agent in the neighborhood wanted us to meet him. r The prospect of mushing across town to hear a recruitment spiel hardly appealed to us as an evening's entertainment. But homehow we found ourselves saying yes. That was fate poking us in the "aye." Thanks to that intuitive affirmative, we wound up with a full stomach, a titillated soul, a fine new friend, and a wonderful new contributor to "Scholastic Coach." We expected to meet an extremely personable young man, and Warren Giese proved all of that--tall, handsome, charming, and highly articulate. But you can't always tell a jewel by its setting. And it wasn't until after the herd of scrubbed and shining young heifers in the room had picked the festive board clean that Coach Giese sold us 100 per cent. '-U With elbows resting on the table, he leaned forward in his chair and expounded a personality and a philosophy that positively thrilled us. This was no "speech," no exercise in circumlocution. Giese simply cleared a few thoughts off his chest. But what he said bears a lot of repeating in every big-time football milieu in the land. It was the kind of recruitment pitch that we egg-headed advocates of the amateur ideal had been waiting to hear for years. This, in brief essence, is what Coach Giese saiZ: "All you fellows are fine athletes, the best football players in your area. I know that some of you have been approached by quite * a number of colleges. And I know that I can't expect all of you to join us at South Carolina. What I'd like to do is tell you about our setup as simply and truthfully as possible. "South Carolina is a school rich in tradition and rich in future. We're growing tremendously every year. We're mighty proud of our fine athletic plant and just as proud of our academic standing. s "Now understand this: We play 100 per cent by the rules. All I we can offer you is a regulation athletic scholarship-tuition, board, 3 books, and $15 a month of expense money. That's all. "We can't and won't offer you any deals or undercover pay I ments. And we won't permit our alumni to make them. I'm warning you now: If I ever discover any 'under-the-table' deal, 1 that boy will never wear a South Carolina uniform. "I'd also like to tell you that South Carolina doesn't roll out the velvet carpet for football players. You boys won't get any special privileges. "Actually, we expect our players to work harder than ordinary students. You've got to hit the books, and with football taking several hours a day out of your study life, that -isn't always easy. "In short, football at South Carolina is an amateur gkme played by amateurs. You've got to love the game, work hard, study hard, and live by the rules. All we can promise you is this: "You'll be playing with as fine a bunch of teammates as you can hope for. "Everybody on the squad will be on an equal footing-no one will be getting a 'better deal' than anyone else. t "You'll learn as much football and get as much fun out of the a game as any player in the land. s "You'll get the finest equipment and the finest mecdical care avail 3 able. "You'll receive a fine education that will thoroughly prepare you -for the career you choose. "You'll have behind you the full support of the coaching staff, the student body, and the administration. 5 "You'll be a member of a 'team' in the finest sense of the word." BCoach Giese's words and the manner in which he spoke them raised the hackles on our head. Here, we thought, is the kind .of coach we'd like to play for. But, appraising his speech objectively, we'd have nad to say it represented a negative approach. Would a bunch of unsophisticated youngsters, deluged with all sorts of wonderful Spromises, go for it? We put the question to the Coach afterward. Giese smiled. "The modern youngster isn't as unsophisticated as you think," he said. "He's been around. He can spot a phoney and a phoney deal a mile away. And most of these so-called*'fabulous deals' are just that--phoney. "After all, how much can a school or alumnus really give a kid aside from a full scholarship? All right, so instead of giving him the $15 permitted by the rules, they give him $75 or $100. How much does that add up to in four years? And can those 'extras' compensate for a cheating environment, a poor education, and playing for a coach you don't respect? "I don't think so, neither do the great majority of the kids. An honest approach might cost you some good boys. Blut the returns make up for it. You wind up with a squad of intelligent kids--kids who are Shappy, satisfied, sure of their scholarships, who respect you, who are looking for a good education, and who don't spend half the time wondering what the next guy is getting. "If spirit and desire are really half the battle--as I believe they are-then you've got half the battle won under an honest set-up." The man behind these idealistic words is quite a guy. He represents the tops in coaching types. There is about him a compelling esthetic and moralistic force that draws you to him. A fantastic student of the game, he brings to It a boundless drive, an engineering creativity, and a mathematic precision. His grasp of detail Is positively awesome. (One of his assistant coaches told us, "The one thing about Warren that always awes me is his eertitude. He's so sure of everything. He has such a tremendously precise knowledge of everything. When he tells you something you know that it's just so.") E Besides being a masterful organizer and a superb architect of football tactics, Glese is a superlative teacher. In fact, that's what he considers himself first and foremost, lHe graduatedl from college with 168 credits (only 120 were required) and two degrees. The new Carolina boy wonder attributes his success to his prn ticeship under Jim Tatum. "Coach Tatum," he tellsyu "is onpen-f the truly great football geniuses of our time, lie is wonderfully creative and imaginative, particularly on defense, andl his darin sometimes leaves you gasping. But it isn't the wideontye f risk-taking that it appears. There's definite sense in hien appaenof 'madness.' His daring is predicated on fundameta sn ppare nd that's the type of daring that wins games." mnasudes n We predict that the pupil will someday come up to the maste.I great demand at coaching schools, 'iese's lectuean atcer. hav wvon the admiration of thousands of coaches frurescoast aticoast.hv Coach, teacher, "egg-head," and moralist, Warren (;es s a tremendous asset to the coaching ...ofe ese is.
