Biddie Coach I Big Things Froi 77... . . ........... . BY HOWARD HELLAMS To begin with, let me promise the readers that this column will not be called "The Hot Corner" throughout the rest of the season. It's just the only thing we could think of for the first column. Any suggestions are welcome. On the other side of the bench, let us begin by looking at the changes that have been made at Carolina this fall. Starting with the football team, naturally, it appears that Carolina fans are in for a big surprise come tomorrow night. It may not have been evident to those who saw the varsity alumni clash last spring, but from where we sit, it looks as if a change is in store. There seems to be something in the air which suggests this. Unlike some of our cohorts on the local newspaper staffs, we are not expecting Giese's charges to pass fifty per cent of the time. Not many teams who do so win all the ball games. Roman Gabriel of N. C. State tried it last year, and his team won only one. Norman Snead of Wake Forest came close to doing the same thing. The Deacs won six and lost four. Carolina posted the same record and we only threw 88 passes throughout the year. This is not to discredit the fine efforts of the above players, but it is absurd to expect the impossible, and highly impractical. After all, why would Coach Giese bring in fine runners like the Beasons, Farmers, Kilreas, Logans, Gambrells, and Harrises of the current squad if he thought a lot of passing was necessary. Other changes have taken place. It is the duty of every student to welcome the new coaches to the campus. Many schools have the problem of poor faculty-student relations. Let's not let this happen at Carolina. When you see one of the new mentors on campus (and the old ones, too), speak and introduce yourself. I can tell you now that they're among the finest people in the world. Another change which will not be evident until tomorrow night is the face-lifting job recently performed at Carolina Stadium. The old box seats have been discarded and the stands have been built closer to the playing field, an addition of some 800 seats. This raises the capacity of the stadium to 43,355, third largest in the conference behind Duke Stadium, with a capacity of 57,000, and Kenan Stadium at UNC, which holds 43,917. A new coat of paint and a few mended seats will also brighten the appearance of the field. Inside, the rest rooms and concession stands have been given a remodel ing job, as has the press box. The Carolina schedule also appears to be a bit revamped. The dropping of the Big Thursday classic is probably the most noteworthy change, but others are quite apparent. For one, Furman no longer appears on the card, after a 43-game series with the Purple Hurricanes. Instead, the Gamecocks have added one the strongest teams in the nation, Louisiana State, which captured the national title a few years ago. Also, for the first time in many a year, we managed to get UNC into Carolina Stadium. If we can (1o the same with Miami next year, we will have accomplished something. About the only thing that remains to be changed now is the opinion of the pre-season "guessperts" who have p)re dicted a losing season for Carolina. The "IDell Sports Maga zine" even went so far as to p)redlict that we would win only two games, those being against Wake Forest and Virginia. Nonsense! Away from Carolina, it seems that a change has come over the Clemson campus up in the "sticks." Clemson basketball coach, Press Maravich, long famous for his widespread use of the crying towel, has turned this duty over to Frank Howard. After reviewing the recent injuries to his squad, Howard is reported to have had a set of cards printed saying, "Have Towel, Will Cry."~ I wonder what our country cousin would (10 if he had the injuries Carolina suffered in the middle of last season. The most serious of Howard's troubles is the illness of his choice end, Gary Barnes. A few others are sidelined at present, but how many has he lost for the season ? THINGS AND STUFF Alex Hawkins, Carolina alumnus, has won a starting position with the World Champion Baltimore Colts at left halfback. "The Hawk" has scored on quite a few occasions this year, and two New York Giant defensive men are still talking about his forearm. Coaches Grugan i Calls For Base ball< University coaches .Joe Grugan, aeakdt eota hstm baseball, and Jimmy Ratliff, swim- o e oc alf ro oti ming, have issued a call for all at.Myvaiypotonar prospective members of eitheropnathsim,aralyueo teams to report to coming prac- tefc htol w fls tice sessions. Coach Grugan has announced that all interested parties are to report to the first session Monday, September 26, at 2 o'clock at the Roundhouse on Rosewood Drive. It is necessary t h a t returning varsity players and members of last year's freshman squad be at the meeting, and all others are invited, also. This will kick off the' fall practice series, which is a' prologue to the regular sessions . which begin toward the endl of ~~' the semester.
