By BOBBY ALFORD
Defeat is a harsh sounding word; it ranks in the grating
category with chaos and destruction. Defeat is comm9nplace
and yet we are never ready for it. Only the very -young and
foolish believe that it is preventable and avoidable. Every
venture which ended in defeat began as a planned success.
Football teams are part of these planned successes; and
yet, as we are all aware, meet with defeat. Defeat is seldom
final, it is temporary; today's defeat may well become to
morrow's pot of gold.
If we experience nothing but success, we become
proud and thankless, but in defeat we are humble and
hopeful. From defeat we learn, we see the flaws and
strive to correct them. Many times the eraser wears out
before the pencil; but as we fill in the erasures we learn
something, however small it might be.
The Gamecocks were soundly defeated by North Carolina.
The Tar Heels found the weak link in our football chain and
kept tugging away until the chain stretched. It only
stretched, it didn't break.
Now, the Gamecock coaches will begin to mend the
weak link, to shore up the soft spot, and once again the
defeated team will become victorious.
One fly in the icing does iot spoil the cake; and the
Gamecocks are not going to allow one loss spoil the season.
It was a bitter loss for the Gamecock players. The seniors
on this team have suffered three consecutive losses to the
Tar Heels at Chapel Hill. At present, the excellent football
men of Carolina have taken their deflated pride to the prac
tice field and are preparing for Clemson and six straight vic
tories to close out their best season in the history of the
University.
The battle of the Carolinas provided further evidence
that the ACC is one of the best balanced football leagues
in the country. Five teams are still in the thick of battle
for this year's championship. The fight will probably go
right down to the final day of the season.
Congratulations are in order for coach Jesse Berry and
the freshman football team. The Baby Birds have won their
first two games of the season with fine efforts against
Maryland and N. C. State.
It might just have been that the Gamecocks beat "hell
out of Tar Heels" (as the cheer leaders urged) considering
the inspired football North Carolina played.
