Cock Tales .. . . . With Gray We read with much interest Sunday nionng where Sports Editor Jake Penland of the local morning newspaper commented on the writings of our colleague Howard Iel lams. Penland said in tihe "y' the Way" 'ection of his "In the Clemson 11ox" columni that Iloward would be disap-i pointed if he didn't get his name in the paper. We know that our co-hort had no such intentions. All he was tryingi to do was to present to the students and the public how he felt about the support Penlind had given Carolina athletics. It seems to us- that Penland should give the Gamecocks and their administrators more support since he is the only morning outlet that. covers the state from this city. We (1o not understand the incideit that started the indifferences between "The Great White lRedeemer of the Forward Pass" and the Gamecocks. but we do hope that this misunder standing can be cleared up in the very near future. Now to more important things. The Carolina Biddies mauled the Baby Tar Heels from North Carolina last Saturday night in the Field House by some twenty-odd points. As we sat during the evenings' activities, we re called the superb frosh team of last year and tried to size the two teams tip. We noticed that hoth of them had speed and good defensive play. There was only one differ ence that we could note. If there was a playmaker on last year's team. it had to be this year's sophomore whiz, Scotti Ward. But this year's team, in our opinion, defin itely has a playmaker in the person of Ronnie Collins. Ronnie is a 6-3 forward who vas the most celebrated athlete in this state diring his senior year in high school. He is not only a great roundballer, but was the quarter back and made All-State in this department as well as being a member of the All-State basketball team, of his high school football team that won the state champion ship that year. Ronnie has a great eye for the basket and shoots a shot similar to Carolina's All-American ace a f'ew years back Grady Wallace. only he does not jiump quite as high as Wallace did. We also noticel several key defensive plays made by Ronnie in Saturiay night's ciash. Therefore he seems to be ahaptig himself into college ball quite well, and we feel that a lot will be heard in the future from the only South Carolinlian on the first five. The GamecockA' 1961 football schedule was announced several days ago, and it Ahows five games in Carolina Stadium and five on the roal. The only change from the 1960 schedule is Vanderbilt. The ('ommodores of Nashville will replace Miani. The Iirds open their '61 campaign tra ditionally with 1)uke at iught. but. this will be the last time the Blue Devils will be the opening opposition, for The Citadel rep)laces them in 1962. Following the September 23 opener, the Gamecocks will travel to Winston-Salem to meet the lDemon D)eacons of Wake Forest. This is qulite a change, as the locals and the D)eacs have been pllaying in late November for the past f'ew years. 1'hen the Biirds go to Athens for a clash with the Blulldogs oif Georgia. After this trip, the grid ders come home andl remain here for three games Louisiana State, North ('arolina (State Fair Week), and Maryland. ('harlot tesville will be the next stop as the Gamnecocks take on the (Cavaliers fromi Virginia on No vemb)er I. After ret urning home the following Sat urday to meet ('lemson, the Biirds will travel to Rlaleigh on No vembher 18 to ward off Roman Gabriel and the N. ('. State Wolfpack. To close out t heir ten-card schedule, the Gamecocks meet Vanderbilt in Nashville on November 25. In line with next year's schleduLle is a sort oft pre-season preview given by ( oach Rialph Floyd. \\e wer'e present at the final press conference given last week and ( 'onch F'lovd feels that D uke will be a bet ter' ball clubl t han this past year because of the small loss on t his y\ear's 0ont st anding team, and also because of the mnhiner of goodl red-shiirters on hand. Along with Duke)il, Ihe fieis that IiN( will l)e a better balanced clubi. Wake lForest will have to ,eplace Normani Snead, one of the great est (1uarterback., to ('Xer dlen a I uiform at IDeac Ui., and their endls. This means~ tat their offense will have to be changed somewhat. ( amson u.i! have I1 let termen re turning, andl i f past season: im att' aiyt hing, the Tigers will have another good teaml. N. ('.

They have compiled a 2-2 record, defeating Erskine and Georgia, while losing to Furman and Duke. As Coach Bob Stevens said be lore his season opener with Ers kine, "We'll be the smallest ma jor college team in the country, but I think we can overcome this disadvantage because the kids possess something that's essen tial to a winning club - desire." le proved this by downing the Flying -Vieet f r o m Due West i02-75. The Gamecocks handled Lhe ball well and were fairly ac- 1 nurate on their shots. Art Whis nant, the 6-4 junior who starred ts sophomore last year, took the night's scoring honors by shoot ing 2:1 points, and he also cap tured the rebounding crown for the night by pulling in 21. Scotti Ward, who was very impressive as a freshman, made his varsity debut against Ers kine, and he handled himself like a true veteran. The colorful 6-1 riash wias good for 13 points. The Gamecocks took an early lead and were never pressed to a close score by the fighting Fleet. Erskine llead coach, W. 1. ( Red) M y e r S said, "South Carolina does not have the size Af last year, but they impressed Ime with their rebounding. They iandle the hall better, move it )etter. They're hard to handle.''
