By Carroll Gray In all my long career as a spectator I have never witnessed poorer officiating, in any kind of competition, than was shown throughout the Clemson-Carolina game last Saturday. Why, even back ten or twelve years when Doe Howard and I were playing sandlot baseball with a broomstick and a golf ball the "ump" made better calls than we saw from certain ACC officials. It almost seemed as if some of the officials waited until after the whistle to play "drop the hankie." And they played it often. Five times to be exact-in the first half. Five times fifteen runs up to about seventy-five yards. Clemson had a total of ten yards in penalties. Now don't tell me that the Tigers are a group of real nice Lord Fauntleroys while the Gamecocks are mean and nasty and should be Penalized!! It appeared to me that the officials were afraid Clemson was going to lose. You know, it's a good thing for those refs that we didn't lose. They would've had one hell of a time getting out of the stadium. Most everyone thinks that Marvin Bass is the brain behind the Game cocks this year. Not so. The quick eye of the Our Head Coach camera caught the real mastermind of the team as he whispers a word of advice to his right hand man. Cliff. Weems Baskin, Director of Intramurals, is breathing easier as intramural football draws to a close this fall. This season has been the worst in history as far as injuries go. There have been several broken bones, several major opera tions (shoulder separation, knee cartilage, compound frac tures) several teeth knocked out, numerous cuts and tears requiring stitches, several concussions, many serious abra sions of knees and elbows, pulled muscles and thousands of bruises. Intramural football, as it is now played, is more danger ous to the individual than is varsity competition. Several mid-season rules were injected into the rulebook attempt ing to cushion the players, but when you play a spirited game, full speed, with no sort of padding, no amount of legislation can prevent what often proves to be a danger ous injury. There are several directions the Intramural department can take to improve intramural football as it now stands. The department can pursue the course it seems to have already chosen, that being to encircle the participants with an encyclopedia of rules which even the officials don't understand. On the other hand an entire revamping of the intra mural football program could eliminate much of the worry that is in the minds of Baskin, Dean Tomlin and President Sumwalt while at the same time keeping pace with an expanding University. This proposed remodeling calls for a "graduation" to a higher type of ball using a 100-yard field, four officials and full pads. The idea seems extreme to many, I'm sure, but other schools use this program and use it to good success. There is no denying that it would be more enjoyable to those participating and would also be much more enjoyable to watch. Two negative factors emerge in reference to this pro posal. Question One: Where would each fraternity and zone get enough men ? Answer: Simple--continue to play the eight-man football now played. In the midwest many high schools use the eight-men rather than 11. Question Two: It would cost too much! Not necessarily. Sure, the initial cost would present a problem, but once the first expense is past you have your equipment. Few teams would want over sixteen outfits, and it is very possible that the school or the intramural dlepartment would sub sidize the teams. Fraternities could seek aid from their alumni and independents could turn to Athletic Director Warren Giese and Dean Tomlin for help. It's just an idea, but it might be worth kicking around!!!

Will Carolina be a stronger contender for the ACC title this year? The team has progressed as ex pected through the first four weeks of practice. Progress is not as obvious this year as in the past because the learning process is over; each one knows the offense and defense, so emphasis will now be placed on polishing. Coach Stevens was amazed at the team spirit as he stated, "We have three weeks before the first game, and the team's morale and spirit is tremendous." Art Whis nant also commented on the team spirit as he said, "Everyone has more desire this year than in the past, and we're still showing im provement." At the first of the season every one checked in showing good con dition weight-wise. But a boy is no better than his legs and lungs, so the element of endurance has to be stressed. Losing only one player from last year's squad, and with the aid of several sophomores and transfers, depth should be a great asset. Bobby Robinson has shown more improvement than any other player so far. Scottie Ward was rather slow starting but is prog ressing steadily. Art Whisnant still has his competitive desire and is showing more finese. Bud Cro nin has a thorough knowledge of the offense, and Bob Haney seems to have regained his shooting eye that was outstanding during his freshman year. Ronnie Collins, the leading scorer of last year's freshman team, is showing good speed, fine shooting, and tremendous desire. Dave Barrett is improving at the pivot position, and transfer Jim Podell, with his jumping ability, is posing to be a defensive threat and a rebounding treat. Bill Yar borough has been a pleasant sur prise with his aggressive play, and Terry Lucansky's defensive work has been outstanding. Jimmy Col lins, held out last year (due to a physical ailment) has displayed extreme quickness and speed. Squads have been divided ac cording to the players' perform ance on the profile records. Every one seems to know the offense well and execute his moves ac cordingly. Bobby Robinson and Ronnie Collins seem to agree on the fact that Wake Forest will be their toughest opponent. Bobby re plied, "This year's team will have more competition, which will make :he team stronger." Ronnie, en thused and high spirited, saidl, "We're ready to go--We've got two good teams and we're going to run our opponents off the court." ~ KING IGAP TTES 1FUL SMOKES! .D-THEV SATISFYV shows SHOT OF Flying through the air, but noi lina's Billy Ganbrell on a jaunt aro of the Tiger defensive unit close Usually they were not so successi tactics frequently to gain vital yarda Intramur Schedules for intramural foot ball playoffs have been set, with the campus championship game between the Independent and Fra ternity winner coming on the first Wednesday after the Thanksgiving holiday. The opening game of the play offs comes next Monday, when the winners and runners-up in the two fraternity leagues meet at 3:45 on Davis Field. The only two teams certain to compete are PiKA and Phi Kap. In the other league, KA, SPE, and Sigma Nu wound up with identical records, necessitating a three-way playoff. On Tuesday, the Independent candidates for the campus champ ionship will go into action at the same time on Davis Field. From League One, Zone 7 and Zone 6 aro set to compete, but in the other league, Zones 12, 8, 9, and 1 all have mathematical chances to enter post-season play. Results from last week's games show ATO squeezing past Pi Kappa Phi, 12-7, while SAE shut out Kappa Sig, 12-0. Phi Epsilon Pi also edged Phi Sigma Kappa, 13-7. Indlependent games had Zone 6 the winner over Zone 5, 20-2, as Zone 8 took the measure o,f Zone 11, 31-6. Powerful Zone 7 finished undefeated by knocking off Zone 3, 20-12. In a high-scoring rout, Zone 12 blasted Zone 2, 47-12 in League Twvo play. "HOUR OFI "Jason, you dolt! You knov Mennen Skim Bracer altere "Of course. 'ir. And tis.. "Indeed so, sir. And..

While the Clemson and Carolina fans were bitterly quarrelling and throwing bottle corks at each other before the game, under the stands the mock Clemson Tigers were receiving their last-minute instructions and alterations. Suddenly, with a shout for vic tory, the imposters burst from their dressing room and gaily trotted along the way towards the Clemson entrance. Loyal Clemson fans, either drunk or just plain ignorant, slapped the boys on the back and said, "Come on Tigers, we love you!" When approaching the Clemson "Gateway to Hell," the team proudly trickled across the field and very neatly assembled in for mation for their pre-game exer cises. After completing their usual warm-up, they unveiled their secret body-building forms, which fs Start ]pj pus championship In any sport will be awarded points towards the all-sports trophy in both the independent and fraternity divi Sions.

A few varieties were added-the latest dance steps, Clemson cow milking procedures, and special ized kicking formations. With the sound of "one, two, three, kick," the hully gully unit assembled, and the infuriated Clemson rats swarmed to the field floor to join the "dance." Arthur Murray never had a day like this as the little Cubs overdid the twisting step-they wiggled and rolled and fell all over the field. The Carolina instructors had to ? get a little rough, but taught the new students a few lessons that they will never forget. Ed Han cock waltzed up to his old buddy from Clemson and began defacing him when a cry was heard, "Ed, I can't believe you're hitting your old Pal like this!" Finally, with the help of KSK and several law enforcement divi sions, the rats were sent back to their mothers, and the orange-clad gentlemen merrily skipped off the field. fonday Independent League One Zone 7 ...... 5-0 Zone 6 . 4-1 Zone 5 . 3-2 Zone 3 . 2-3 Zone 10 . 1-4 Zone 4 . ... 0-5 Independent League Two Zone 12 .. . 3-1 Zone 8 . ... 3-1 Zone 9 . .. 3-2 Zone 1 . ... 2-2 Zone 2 . 1-3-1 Zone 11 ........ .. . . 1-3-1 CIG's VENDORS, INC. 2412 Two Notch Road COLUMBIA, S.
