C9 The 1962-63 year in sports for the Gamecocks has drawn to a close and for the tenth year in a row we cannot claim at least one Conference title. We expected big things from the football team this past season, but "lady luck" was not with us and we ended the season with a 4-5-1 record. Our only consolation was in the achievements of Billy Gambrell who brought honor to Carolina by being named to the Coaches' All-American Team and also for his excellent play in the Senior Bowl Game. Bouncing Billy brightened what would have been a long dismal season. There was an air of pessimism in the Carolina Field House when the Birds took the floor for their opening game with Erskine College, but when the final gun sounded, people who had come to see the Gamecocks lose went away with a glimpse of hope. Chuck Noe and his boys did everything they could to keep this hope alive. We cheered the boys in victory and defeat and I guess that is why they kept coming back for more. This year we had something that is often overlooked iit judging a team. We had pride and it was this pride that kept us alive on the basketball court. This year is just the beginning. The future looks bright for Caro lina basketball. The swimmers didn't have much of a year as a team, in fact, they may have set a new national record with thirty two consecutive duel meet losses, but where they failed as a team they shone as individuals. Three boys re-wrote the Carolina record books. If we could only have a few more like Joe Hulings, Johnny Evans and Jim Fitzpatrick, the swim ming team would have a brighter future. Wherever these athletes went they brought honor and distinction to USC. More of us should try the same. Spring burst upon us and the baseballers took to the field, the thin-clads to the track and the golfers to the country club. Grugan's boys started off very fast, but everything eventually caught up with them and it turned out to be a long season. The Biddies kept us cheerful about baseball with only two losses. Coach Bobby Ivey did a terrific job and maybe next year will be our year. The track team had its best season in a number of years despite three losses. In all cases the outcome of the meet was settled by the last event, the mile relay. We had a num ber of outstanding individuals. The freshman team showed promise of what's to come. It was a season that ushered in what we hope will be an annual event, the Carolina Relays. All things seem to be pointing upward and although we may (Continued on page 7) Applications For Tickets - In The Mail Applications for tickets to Game cock home football games are in the mail.

Block 'C In Winni Setting a blazing pace and re fusing to wilt in the heat of the day, a quartet of varsity athletes pedaled the Block C Club entry to victory in the third annual Sigma Nu "Little 600" bicycle race on Davis Field Friday afternoon. The Law School team from Zone 2 was second and Phi Delta Theta fin ished third. The Block C bicycle led for almost the entire contest, taking a substantial advantage as soon as the race got underway. A supreme effort by the Zone 2 team grabbed off the lead around the 20 lap mark, but only for a couple of laps and the eventual victors took over the top spot again and gradually lengthened their lead to win. Other festivities connected with Long Baseball Birds Bow To BY TOM HUNTER Sports Writer USC played their part here Tuesday afternoon, that of the cel lar-dwellers, losing to Clemson in an error-filled contest that pos sessed but one earned run. Senior John Jones got his first crack at the Tigers but faulty de fense and weak hitting once more turned a fine pitching performance into just another loss. Jones fin ished the season with a 2-2 mark, having supplied the Gamecocks with two of their three ACC vic tories on a 1.70 ERA. Clemson's Nicky Lomax sup plied the game's s Ae earned run on a 375-foot blast over the right field fence giving the Tigs a 1-0 load. The homer was Lomax's fourth of the season which Clemson will wind up Friday against Fur man. USC made a game of it when Jack McCathern scored on a wild pitch thrown by winning pitcher Tommy Chapman (2-2) in the sixth inning, tying the score 1-1. Then, in the hectic seventh, Caro lina's defensive walls came tum bling down. The Tigers took ad vantage of the sudden lapse and quickly pushed across four un earned runs and their eighth ACC victory, good enough for a second place tie with North Carolina. After all the dust had settled and the excitement was over, the hits, runs, errors department read 6, 1, 4, for Carolina to the visitors' five hits, five runs, and three er rors.

This was the fourteenth loss for the Birds, who finished the season 3-11 in the conference, good enough for sole possession of last place. Wake Forest (10-3) is the 1963 conference champion and will repre sent the ACC in the NCAA play offs. USC's batting crown was taken by catcher Dick Moseley with a respectable .354 average in 22 games. The 5-10, 200-pound sopho more from Columbia went one for three in the Clemson final.

Thus closes out the University Df South Carolina's Fighting Game %ocks 1963 sports parade. The amount of success the program has presented the men and women of Carolina can be measured indi vidually. Has it made a good loser Dut of us, a good winner? Has it taught us to blame, to boo, to ra tionalize ? If so, the year was not a success. If, however, we have been made more mature in the process of the seasons, all the time and money put forth was money certainly put to good use. "SHE WAS ONLY THE DEAN OF MEN'S DAUGHTER" ( But oh what a record she htad. ) The only trouble is, it's been banned. From the radio at least. In fact, the whole darn Capitol album, "Campus ConfIdential" by the Four Preps, has been banned. "She Was Only the Dean of Men's Daughter" and the other numbers, like "Prin Ce's Poo-poo-ly Has Plenty Papaya?' are just a little too... well, colorful for air play. This album was recorded dur ing a Four Preps Concert at UCLA. Their performance was wildly appreciated by the stu dents, and we strongly suspect it will be wildly appreciated by everyone who hears it on this new Capitol release. (With the sole exception of radio station owners who want to keep their stations on the air.) So slip Into your nearest tec ord store for "Campus Confi dential" on Capitol.

Look for the Four Preps in concert on your campus,) (T)et t r Record Nu '500' Ward, took the lead on the pace lap with Gill riding and Increased it swiftly to almost half a lap. Fast riding by several Zone 2 entrants cut the lead slowly, how ever, and on the 21st lap, the Law School boys went into shortlived lead when a fresh Zone 2 rider caught the Block C right before a change. With Scotti Ward up, however, the varsity boys caught the Law School bicycle shortly and went back into the lead, never to be headed again. The Block C men were running away with the race after this, with their greater endurance tell ing the tale. The basketball pair of Ward and Jimmy Collins con sistently turned laps in between 36 to 38 seconds, while the rest of the team was averaging close to 40 seconds per circuit. Very few riders in the rest of the field were able to approach a 40 second lap after the first 25 laps were past. Perhaps the hottest battle for position during the afternoon came for third place behind the Zone 2 quintet. A flying Phi Delta outfit led by Paul Wagner, managed to stand off an onrushing Chi Psi group to clinch the show spot. There were few serious mishaps in this year's 100 laps around the Davis Field Layout. Most of the entanglements came when teams were dismounting and mounting in the pit areas and riders had to be careful to prevent being run over by accelerating two-wheelers.
