By BOBBY ALFORD Sports Editor The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit ShaUl lure it back to cancel half a line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it. - Omar Khayyam - Fate is a funny thing, an unfathonable depth which eludes the investigations of men. It is unexplainable; and yet it is everywhere apparent. Last Saturday night at Caro lina Stadium Fate hovered over the playing field and directed her wrath upon a young man who was ready to move into the nation's football spotlight - John Hopkins Saunders by name. John Saunders had worked hard for this football season; it was to be his greatest. Football coaches and fans throughout the nation used only laudatory Ian guage when referring to the block-busting fullback who led ir the ACC in rushing last year. The shoulder injury was z crushing blow to Saunders ani to all Carolina football fans; bui Saunders is not finished yet. H( is down, but not out; his mettle is that of a true champion. We wish him a speedy and successful recovery and look for ward to the time in the not too distant future when number 33 will again carry the pigskin across the goal line for thE Gamecocks. Good Sportsmanship Many of us have a predilection for winning football teams. In our eagerness to produce and back a winner, we sometimes forget the all-important ingredient of good sportsmanship. Winning has become paramount to many coaches and fans; losing often produces a distinct bitterness from which can emulate unthoughtful and injurous words and action. Duke Coach Bill Murray was upset after last Saturday's game. He failed to accept defeat like the outstanding football coach he is; he didn't lose like a champion, instead he turned a cold shoulder towards and a vituperative tongue on the Carolina coaches and team. His statements and actions did not win him any friends in Columbia, but they did draw words of retaliation. "I think Bill Murray has been in coaching long enough to lose gracefully," stated Warren Giese, and added, "he has accepted congratulations for winning three times to every one he has had to offer it." Punters Impressive I was greatly impressed with the fine all round play of the Gamecocks against Duke. In a game where pressure was ever present the Carolina footballers showed poise. Consider. ing the inexperienced men who saw action in the game this certainly points out the excellent coaching job the Gamecocks have received. The line did an outstanding job on offense as well as defense, and the backfield was more than adequate. Doug Hatcher and Jimmy Williams deserve plaudits for the fine kicking which kept Duke bottled up and got Carolina out of trouble at the same time. The South Carolina cheers leave something to be desired. They never seem to change. The ever present words "hell' and "damn" reverberate throughout the stadium adding noth ing of value to the yells. Contrary to many persons' opinion, these words do not add emphasis to a cheer; they tend tc alienate many would be boosters. Can someone come up with some new and unpolluted Gamecock cheers ?

Dove shooting is one of South Carolina's fastest growing sports. Even the ladies are testing their skill on this bird that can be shot while walking through a field or from the comfort of a blind. The dove is a game bird in the true sense of the word. He gives the hunter a really difficult target. He has been clocked at speeds up to 40 miles per hour and can side slip and dart up or down with in credible speed. As for the taste of this bird, it is delicious. A well prepared dove, which has not been too shot up, can hardly be beaten for fine food. To avoid exploding your doves in a puff of feathers when you shoot them, it is important to have the right gun matched with the right shell. During the early part of the season, before the birds become too wary, many people prefer about a 20-gauge gun with number 8 chilled shot. Later in the season, when the birds become wary, it is usually best to change to a 16 or 12 gauge and use num ber 7% chilled shot, for better long distance shots. As in years past, South Carolina has a split season this year. It opened September 14, and will close October 10, then reopen December :3, and remain open until January 9.

The Hurricanes have six seniors nd five sophomores in their start ng eleven. Experience wise, they ave the edge on the Gamecocks. n last Saturday's contest, Furman onnected on 9 of 17 passes for 123 ards. The Gamecocks expect to ave their pass defense ably tested n tomorrow's game. The Gamecocks came through he Duke game in good shape with he exception of fullback John aunders. Saunders will be out or most, if not all, of the season fter a three-hour shoulder opera ion last Sunday. Phil Lavoie will irobably start at fullback for the amecocks. "Lavoie -has not had I great deal of experience. I think ie will do well, but he has to beat ut (Bob) Farmer," Giese com nented. Lavoie had a leg opera ion last season which hampered is playing.
