Cock Tales . . . . With Gray A new semester, a new football coach, and a new sports staff (?) are the ingredients we have before us in which tc cook up something that we hope will be acclaimed edible b.\ all. We are making but one promise, and that is this coluni will be identified by another name. Any suggestions? Before we put anything in the oven, we have a bone we would like to pick with a certain institution that is located among the slurp and slime of the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains-Clemson College. Press Maravich and his Farm Hand quintet invaded our premises January H-. and despite the greatest comeback ever witnessed by this writer, the Gamecocks went down in defeat. But that is not the reason for our beefing. We have seen sportsman ship displayed magnificently, and we have also seen ball clubs behave in an unsportable sense. The type of behavior that was displayed by the Clemson was definitely unsportsmanlike. but to top that, Maravict violated every ACC ruling on temiper control, and nothing was done about it. Now if our very able Bob Stevens car control himself, why can't Maravich ? Even Bones McKinne\ doesn't use the language or the physical movements this so called coach did. Tom Mahaffey, the big center for the Tigers, showed himself on the court also. He started off by elbowing every one unlder the basket, and before the first half ended, he and Art Whisnant, the fine center for the Gamecocks, were hav ing a verbal war. It took the officials, if they may be termed as such, the better part of the second half to get up enough nerve to throw Mahaffey out of the game, and he left the hardwoods with a great amount of profanity. ('hoppy Patterson, supposedly' the "flower" of Clemson basketballers, fouled out in the last few minutes. Every time [atterson was charged with a foul, we had to distract oui date's attention from the floor to keep her from seeing him spill out a long list of words that would not be accepted socially. The minister sitting behind us left the Field House after Patterson's second foul. We always thought Clemson was the place for crude people. Now we have stopped thinking, because we know it ! Nothing can be done about the behaviour that was pre sented by the basketballers, but we do feel that "Crying Towel" Maravich should be investigated for violating the ACt rule, and if found guilty, he should be fined. NOTES AND) NAMES Marvin Bass said the question he has been asked thc most since taking over the head football coaching chores at Carolina is: "Are you gonna t hrow the ball ?" T[he very able man answered this by saying, "They put air in a footb)all so you can throw it. If they dlidnt want you to th row the ball, they' f1 ill it with sand.'' .Jake Hod kin, the recent recipient of the South Carolimi ,Ja1cob Blccking Trophy, which was presented at wvell-or ganflizedl (olumiai Touc2hdown1 (Club ,hamboree last week, was blessed a few weeks back with the birth of a lovely girl, A not her fu tuLre Gamecock on the way. (Congratulations, .Jake! Speaking of recent adldit ions to the family, King Dixon, the great halfback who played at Carolina a couple of seasons ago, andl who is now setting the woods on tire in Quantico, Va. as an outstanding service footballer recently acquired a son, King D)ixon Ill. D)ixon (11) was presented the Outstanding Service Player award at the .Jamboree for his performance in the service Champ ionship game. The King couldn't make the ceremonies in person, so his father accepted the award. D)ixon, Sr. said that "in the family of horses, there has to be a stallion somewhere along the line. My sonl was, andl I hope his son wilt follow in his steps." We wer,e looking over the remai ninig part of the basket. ball schedule and this column discovered t hat the Gamecocks have some tough ones yet to face. At this writing (Tuesday) the Birds will have to face all of the seven AC( opponents plus Furman. As of now, Carolina has lost all five of its previous ACC games. We know this is dliscouraging to ouw good friend Bob Stevens, but we are sure he and the many Gamecock fanis are aware that height. plays a ma.ior role ir basketball. Since Carolina is not fortunjate enough to have an over supply of height, we think the Birds are dloing well to sta3 in the game as much as they have. The tallest man on th( court is Whisnant (6-4) , and he is partially lame now witt a bad ankle. Of course, we must recognize t he fine p)laying of Scotti Ward, Hobby Robinson, Bud C'ronin, Ronnie John. son, and the others, but again the height. problem is evident If a man is a great shot, he still must have height to scort andl rebound. As we mentioned before, this column was rel)resente< at the recent Columibia Touchdown (Club Jamboree. The pro gram was well presenIted(, espeCcially the I)orn F'usci story For the recollection of some of our readers, I"usei was a greal lineman for the Gamecocks several years back. Red Canup Carolina Sports Publicity D irector, was t he M( , andl Fuse was surprised with fictional characters from his past. The highlight of t.he program was the Frank Howard Marvin Bass introductions, but this was curbed somewhat by a "summit" meeting held between the two that after noon. Regardless, old "Baldy" introduced Coach Bass as the "Personality Kid" and Howard said that he was going to stop hunting and start fishing for big mouth llass. Coach Bass returned this quip by saying that when How ard went fishing, he had better bring a big hook and plenty of bait.
