The gamecock. (Columbia, S.C.) 1908-2006, November 17, 1961, Page Page Six, Image 6
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!!!

Add Depth
By Fred Schumpert
With the last home football
game completed, basketball seems
to be the question in the air. 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."

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.

Two Fraternity games were
forfeits, when Sigma Nu and KA
received games from Phi Epsilon

game between Sigma Chi and

Intramural golf has progressed

Although "Cousin" Howard's
omens seem to have covered every
detail of the Carolina football
team, none thought to scout the
golden glove winners that hit the
field at 1:15 Saturday afternoon.
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

Dances
were learned from Charles Atlas's k
1961 Body Beautiful course. 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.
