The gamecock. (Columbia, S.C.) 1908-2006, November 03, 1961, Page Page Six, Image 7
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.

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

out last year with an injury, couldD

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.

Crucial Win
For 'Fighting
Gamecocks'
This season has been plagued
by unpredictable upsets, but the
Carolina victory over Maryland
last Saturday seems to have con
taminated the entire Atlantic
Coast Conference.
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.
