Cock Tales .. . . . . With Gray Last Satulrday m11orniig we left for the Hills wild-eyed did bushy-tailed, loolking for a grand (lay on the turf with the Tigers of Clemson College. We also were anticipating the grand and glorious color that always accompanies a Cairolina-Clenson clash. By taking secondary roads and fighting traffic that was snarled at the speed of a turtle, we arrived. The hat tle% was staged in what the Clemsons call "Death Valley." As far as the game goes, we think both teams fought a good defensive battle but with the excep tion of a few fumbles, it was dull. The head mentor at Cow College sums it up in this statement, "I would have asked for my money back." The Gamecocks went into the game as underdogs, and at the end of the first half, we didn't feel that the Birds should be termed as such. But the second half was a game of fumbles; in fact the Tigers scored twice on slips of the hand by the Game cocks. As we said before, we were anticipating color and glam our, and anticipation was as far as it went. The clash was colorless, with practically no color present. We could sure tell that there was quite a difference between "Solid Satur day" and the now defunct "Big Thursday." The Clemsons also expected a crowd of 50,000 plus, but according to our calculations, the Valley was lucky to be occupied by 15,000 persons. Those who sat through the affair didn't seem to possess the anxiety and spirit that was always present at a "Big Thursday" outing. Also, the ladies attending the game didn't have that certain air of "do you like my new hat?" about them. In fact, we think the first game of the Solid Saturday series was a failure, and the only solace that can be derived from it is Clemson won according to the scoreboard, and this made the Tiger "rats" happy because they will not have to wear their hats until Christmas. Another problem that seems to rise in our midst is one concerning our cheering section. We were sitting in the press box adjoining the Clemson student section, and any yells that might have arisen from our side were pushed away by shouts of the "rats." who were showing their ton sils to everyone, for they were scared that their big brother might approach them if they didn't. Carolina students are not compelled to cheer. and this seems to us a good reason to show the spectators that we really can yell. We know that many of the students will say that they have failed to cheer because of the poor season the Birds are having. This again is a good reason to jump out of your seats and let Coach Giese and his gridders know that the student body is behind them, wvin or lose.

In previous years, the Block "C" Club has annually promoted a freshman-jayvee football game in Carolina Stadium, but this has been dropped for the basketball game instead. Block "C" Pr e s id e n t, Kirk Phares, is hoping for a full house. "We think it will give the fans and students a chance to see what's coming up this year for us in basketball. The varsity has several outstanding players and the freshmen have sonic new tal ent that a lot of people want to see," commented Phares. The varsity is led by returning letterman Art Whisnant, Bobby Robinson and Bud Cronin. The varsity is looking to last year's bumper crop of freshmen to reinforce their ranks. Stellar guard, Scotti Ward, who main tained a 21-point average last year, and 6-3 forward, Bob Haney, are the top varsity candidates from last year's freshmen. Among this year's freshman ranks is Ronnie Collins, possibly the best prep basketeer in the state last season. Frosh coach Gordie Stauffer reports that Col lins has the potential of develop ing into a prime varsity prospect before next season. Tickets can be purchased at the USC ticket office or from any member of the Block "C" Club. 'Tank Team Very Thin' Says Coach According to University swim mning coach Jimmy Ratliff, the Carolina tank team is looking pretty thin at this stage of the game, and he would like to have some applicants for the squad. There are no swimming schol arships offered, so everyone has an equal chance of making the team. Nine members are listed on the current swimming squad, includ ing free-styler Tom Butz, who placed sixth at the ACC meet last spring. Also returning are Ken Chance, who copped fifth place in the individual medley, and John Grunert, fifth in the conference in (living last year. Others wvho are expected to add experience to the Gamecock tank corps are Ed Harter, Tommy Pruitt, Joe Hulings, Steve Smith, Bobby Faucette, and Ed Hutchin son. STARTING SUNDAY!
