By Carroll Gray Sitting somewhere in the vicinity of the thirty-five yard line last Saturday at the Maryland game a rather "gay" group of dateless Carolina men entertained the student section with many impromptu chants and cheers. On sev eral occasions, much to the chagrin of head cheerleader Bo Mullis, these chants were joined by the entire cheering section and, goodnaturedly, by Bo and Company, too. Leading off the fun soon after the kickoff, some twenty of these Saturday afternoon lovers stood and rendered to the stadium in rich tenor: Impede them, impede them, put obstacles in their way, Gamecocks, Gamecocks, yea, yea, yea! As the game got rougher and the Gamecocks were penalized fifteen yards for some minor, unfair infraction, once again the "fervent few" sang out: That ticks me off, hey, That ticks me off, hey! Using the same metre, if you please, another goodie was heard: Get the damn ball, hey, Get the damn ball, hey! As the game drew to a close and Carolina followers. smelled a win, Maryland Head Coach Tom Nugent heard this: Moose has got Nugent's goose (repeated until out of breath) In the waning seconds of play many thousands of pleased onlookers chanted another original: Moose, Moose, Moose, Moose, Moose, Moose, Moose! The activity of this group was colorful and proved to be fun for many. Maybe we should get them out there with the cheerleaders!!! Many varsity player's names are being spoken around campus this week in connection with outstanding perform ances in the Maryland game. Attracting many of these verbal bouquets are Joe P1rehodka, 205-pound tackle who threw Maryland quarterbacks for losses on occasion; Ed Holler, linebacker who picked off two Maryland passes; Jim Costen, quarterback who rushed for 73 yards and passed for two TDs; Bill Gambrell, halfback who scored twice-once on a brilliant pass reception (see photo); Dick Day, fullback who was the workhorse of the afternoon; Jim Moss, tackle elite who played his usual "lean and mean" type of ball. These men and more deserve much credit. Keep it up! It's that time again! The tremendous improvement in the quality of my predictions has led to unbridled glee in certain sections of the campus-namely the Gamecock Sports department. I find myself signing my honor pledge with the lofty title of Swami and the like. Here we go! Carolina over Virginia by 13-1 see it in the tea leaves. Clemson over Tulane by 10-If Parker can play. Maryland over Penn State by 8-The Terps are ticked. LSU over Ole Miss by 2-They beat us! Benedict over Allen by 37-Break an arm, break a leg-. Basketball I #I E Forecast For1961-62K A talented, experienced but rela tively short band of Gamecocks will open the 1961-62 basketball season at Lenoir-Rhyne December 2. The lack of height, which wast. an important factor last seas~on, should not hamper the Gameocks~ as much this year since the dlefe nse and speed showv pr.omise of being much better. As he has for the past twvo seasons, Art Whisnant will lead Bob Stevens' motion conscious Gamecocks. Whisnant, a hard-working, 6-4 senior, has accu mulated quite an array of honors from second team All-ACC on dlown. Whisnant has spent much of the past two seasons playing the center but he might be shifted to forward if Jim Podell, 6 transfer from Purdue, comes through. Le*tterman Dave Prevoznik, 6-6, and 6-7 sophomore Tom Caughman are alsoDE0D available. Bud Cronin returns for his senior year at forward. Cronin is the Heesd o o temssteadying influence andl an adlept rebounder and defensive man. The other forward post, vacated by graduated Ronnie Johnson, is up for UA grabs among the likes of lettermen Bob Haney arnd Blob Rebhan, both OdSieSikDooat 6-4, and sophomores Dave Barrett, 6.5, and Ronnie Collins, 6-3.da,eryayptcioII Both starting guards of last sea-aciemn..aboulydp son return.

Yarbrough is also ~HL aldSpophSocmordernt Game( Terps Absorb Bitter Loss In Columbia Some 20,000 amazed but happy fans pushed their way to the exits of Carolina Stadium last Saturday after the final horn had made it official Carolina 20, Maryland 10. As football games go, the game had everything true stu dents of the game could hope for. Sharp tackling, good block ing, crowd-raising runs up to fifty yards and more, touch downs (via passing and run ning), field goals, intercepted passes, recovered fumbles, all star players in action, fourth down gambles and excellent weather. A real crowd pleaser. But looking a little deeper into the afternoon of October 28, 1961, the results were as im portant to the University, to this year's team, and to Game cock recruiting as any game Carolina has ever played. Six individual victories were won during the afternoon. The most apparent, of course, is the victory over the Terrapins, The second victory is the vic tory over the fans. The rather small crowd on hand for the best game of the year fell in be hind the Gamecocks for the first time. The team showed the pub lic that they are capable of play ing the top brand of football. The third victory is the one over student support. The stu dent section was a virtual mad house throughout the afternoon. Enough said. Victory number four was the team's victory over doubt and uncertainty. T h e Gamecocks NOW know that their quarter back can and will run; they know that they can move through the air when necessary and they know that the bigger the opponents are, the harder they fall. Victory number five. Carolina had many high school prospects in the stands and on the side lines, Saturday. These possible Gamecocks saw a fine game and an enthusiastic team. The last victory is enjoyed by Marvin Bass. No one has been critical of the "Moose" to date, but with the Maryland win the affable coach has surely gained solid footing in 'Bird Football.

With a 55-yard return of the kickoff, the Terps began to won der. Billy Gambrell and Dick Day advanced upon the goal in turn, Gambrell climaxing the drive with a burst off tackle. Maryland, the 14th ranked team in the nation was determined to set the fans straight. After sev eral plays, the Terps were in scoring position but had to settle for a field goal. Deciding that a three-point margin was not sufficient to turn back the Terps' strong offense, Billy Gambrell again was called on when he caught a 20-yard pass from Jim Costen. Using all-American candidate, Gary Collins, as a consistent tar get, Dick Novak found him alone in the end zone, and Maryland again came within three points of catching the Gamecocks. Novak did not count on Ed Holler and after two interceptions, Cosetn flipped to John Caskey to make the final result 20-10. or Night GOLF CENTER spital Highway 76 .OUNGE SNACK BAR AT ITS BEST FOR STUDENTS n at W E. cabr,fradtiknen hepua rnfr hs ln ester Elcrc .n th..tr mmniatios-cudE el.e st-career, forwarctinkig n spunitioes es. or utues, I, mechanical, industrial, and chemi tell as physical science, liberal arts, rs.
