It's Just for
The
B'Irds
By I)OUG GRAY
We've always been told that the truth hurts, but it pay
to tell it. Complying with these words, we wrote a columi
two weeks ago concerning the sportsmanship of the Clemsoi
basketballers when they played down here a few weeks baclk
That column was widely read at Clemson College, and th<
"iger" sports editor, Jim Stepp, undoubtedly didn't like th<
wvay it sounded.
For the benefit of those who missed it, we made a few
comments on Choppy Patterson, Tom Mahaffey, and Press
Maravich. Stepp said that what we said wasn't true, and
to quote him, he called it "damned lies." Even the sports
editor uses profanity. Wonder if the whole Boy Scout
oops, we don't want. to mar their character-school uses it
constantly.
Now don't get us wrong. We don't have anything agains
profanity if a man waits to use it, but use it with you
own crowd. not oi a basketball court. And if you don'
believe that Patterson behaved il our Ipreviously describe<
manner, check with the scoring table! They heard it, too.
As far as Mahaffey is concerned, we haven't been abli
to thoroughly check whether he was thrown out or not
According to our recollection, we still say that he was, an
will continue to do so unless proven wrong.
"The Tiger" did not say a word about their basketbal
coach, Press Maravich. le did violate the ACC rule on stay
ing in his seat. As we said before, he ran on the court, ul
and down the court, and anywhere else he could find room
Do we hear a denial of this?
We hate that we have started a feud with Stepp, his
cohorts, and Clemson College, because the institution (?)
has always been close to our heart. We have found only one
thing wrong with it, and that is that some of the students
are fatheads, and it is k>cated in the wrong state. May
Ben Tillman rest in peace! He sure made a big mistake
when he founded the Agricultural Extension Station,
known locally as Clemson College.
NOTES AND NAMES
Now to more important things. We read in this after
noon's paper that the Gamecocks have broken into the Al
top twenty. Congratulations! We think it is remarkable tha
our ball club, as small a,; they are, has enough desire to kee
plugging, and win, even when the chips are down. Our goo,
friend Bob Stevens has done a tremendous .iob in the pas
two years. le is quite a guy.
IS JOHANSSON READY?
It seems that Ingemar Johansson has been letting th
night clubs, movies, etc., go by this time, and is concentrat
ing more on the fight coming up with Floyd Patterso
March 1:3 in Miami Beach. We've been reading about hi
training, and it appears that he really means to KO Pattei
son this time. Before the second fight between the tw(
J'ohansson traveled around the countrmy, made night clu1
appearances, and dlid several TV shows. No wvonder he wasn'
in shape. We predict that he will knock Pat terson out befor
the sixth round.

underwent a knee operation, put on pads for the first time
Monday. However, Costen didn't participate in any con

Good night, Mr. Stepp, wherever you are!
