EMSON - Just BY ARONEL FISCHOFF f Sports Writer r b Clemson has managed to muddle brough for five victories through b lood, sweat, and tears, mainly the t ears of Head Coach Frank How- Q rd. This masterpiece was written by r he brainwashed editor of the tecord after Clemson's loss to the )uke Blue Devils: "Defeat shows on the granite isage of Clemson's Frank Howard s clearly as the sun against a olackened sky." "His eyes red-rimmed and his ,oice low and almost choking, the [iger tutor went over his 16-0 [efeat to Duke Saturday with oathetic detachment." "'How can we win one?'" he sked. "Tell me how we can win >ne?'" The headline after the Auburn oss proclaimed: "Howard Says 'ame Thing Once Again" and he iid: "It looks like we can't have my luck." Before the Furman game (a 14 to 3 win) the crying Clemson !oach claimed: "That his team ailed to have any 'vim or vigor.'" This past week Mr. Howard !omplained, "If we can't even stop iur own substitutes and freshmen, c iow can we expect to stop Mary- c and ?" "We wuz supposed to be going n BI rames of the season on a 44-yard d ouchdown scamper on the Game- 1 ocks' second play from scrim- I nage. Early in the fourth quarter, e ke racked up another score, this ime from five yards out. V After Reeves startling run, t )ean Finley kicked off to Detroit, % >ut, in spite of Gross' fine passing, t he Titans were unable to get in coring position, until a drive late r n the first quarter carried them to f he Carolina 25-yard line. a The biggest break of the night d or the Titans came at the begin- 1 iing of the second half when Billy I ambrell took the kickoff and h kidded in the mud on the Carolina r hree-yard line. Two plays later, a d uible resulted in a lost ball for he Gamecocks and a scoring op )ortunity for Detroit. On fourth Larry Gill goes for point parad Detroit game Saturday night.

Mr. Howard showed himself to e a master of strategy according D this report by Mac Hill of the Itate. "Clemson's Frank Howard ad nitted in post mortem here Satur t I ...... t COACH(?)

He and N toward have been dueling ver Ily for several years. These a xcerpts from a letter that 1Y ugent sent Mr. Howard befo he game on Saturday: "Dear Marse Howard, "Since you will be our guest t aturday, I think you shou now the proper way to act wh isiting the state of Maryland." Mr. Howard was then advis f the way gentlemen chew t acco. "My wife has complained abo be three previous games wi 'lemson ... because I had tobac tains on my shirts for talking 'ou at midfield." On his language: "Will y lease speak recognizable Engli o the Washington sportswriteri eferring to the "effuns," etc. "I hope you will appreciate I rig exposed to my magnetic pc onality."
