#o M!CARTHLa '9 cocV ?oOsTiR The Tulane dressing room was a scene of jubilance last Saturday after the Green Wave had broken their seventeen game losing streak with a victory over the Gamecocks. Head Coach Tommy Boyle commented after the game: "The boys are very deserving. They have played the Who's Who of college football and have lost, but they have never been down. They knew that somewhere along the line they would get a game. Injuries have hurt us throughout the season since we do not have a lot of players. But last Monday the boys said they would win and all week long they have been playing like they had a 6-0 record." "Dan Reeves is a fine quarterback. He has good speed and very quick wrists. Injuries seem to have held him back this season. The South Carolina's interior line is very tough. They have the size and strength of all the teams we have played this year." "Today we put together a good offense and managed to control the ball." "It feels great to win." Tulane captain Mike Calamari said: "Spirit has attribu ted to our ability to come back each week. The boys have never felt embarrassed about their playing. Our scouting of other teams has been excellent. We have always known just what our opponents would do. Today our defense was not what it has been in past games, but we won. It has been a long dry spell and it feels great to win." Yes, it had been a long dry spell for the Green Wave of Tulane. They had not won a game since their 28-14 victory over Virginia Tech back in 1961. A group of hard working players had taken it on the chin week after week, but their day finally arrived and the drought has ended. For the Gamecocks of the University of South Carolina the drought seems to be just getting underway. They have not won a game since their 21-13 victory over Maryland at the beginning of the 1963 season. At times the Gamecocks have played like a team that wanted to win, but at times they have played like a team that could never win. "Fumbleitis" seems to be the story of the Gamecocks this year. They have had touchdown drives stifled and opponents' touchdown drives started by their inability to hold on to the football. A team can be expected to fum ble occasionally in the course of a season, but seven times in one game is too much. There is no quicker way of giving games away than giving the ball away. I Some of us have stood by the team throughout the sea son with the feeling that maybe the breaks were going against us, that soonor or later the team would jell and we could stand up and cheer. How much longer must we wait? The Gamecocks have let us down. It is no wonder that people are already beginning to talk about basketball season. At least Chuck Noe's boys try to make a game of it. There are three games left this season. Two of them are with very tough opponents. Next week we meet Memphis State who this season is undefeated. They tied Ole Miss early in the season. The other tough one is with the Tigers of Clemson who are just beginning to roll after a slow start. Maybe it is just wishful thinking but a show against Memphis State could redeem the Gamecocks a little. YOU GAMECOCKS OWE MARVIN BASS SOME-1 THING SO LET'S GO RIGHT AT MEMPHIS STATE.

The pla spot for the Gamecocks all aftern Fum blin Win BY EFIRD KEISLER Sports Writer The Gamecocks set up two Tu lane TD's and ruined three scoring bids of their own by fumbling six times Saturday afternoon while going down in defeat to the Greenies 20-7. It was Tulane's first victory in 18 games. That old nemesis of the Game :ocks, "fumbleitis," returned to the :cene in full force as the Birds presented the ball six times to the )pportunistic Green Wave. Almost every Carolina back got n the act, forcing Coach Bass to is knees (literally and figura ively) early in the first quarter, is Larry Gill started things off >y fumbling at the USC 40 where 3reenic end Larry Nicholas re overed. From there Tulane launched a CD drive which took eleven plays vith fullback Smith plunging over .rom the one for the game's first ouchdown. The PAT attempt was wide as 5:18 remained in the first )eriod. Monstrous fullback Carl Hug ,ins made the second contribution when that "lil ole ball" eluded his rasp as he was taking a handoff romn Reeves. Tulane guard Dave Landry decided that he would like o have it and claimed it on the larolina 23. A few plays later halfback Ron Thapoton slid around left end to nake it 12-0. Bright split the up ights as the Green Wave found hemselves with a 13-0 lead with .3 seconds remaining in the first luarter.

The greater part of the third period was taken up with ex changes of punts, but toward the end of the third quarter the Game cocks began to move. They drove from their own 16 to the Tulane 14 where a Huggins fumble gave the Greenies possession. Moments later after a ball ex change Reeves fired a pass to Jeff Jowers, who took the ball in and promptly fumbled at the Greenies' 32. After Tulane was again unable to move, the Game USC Swimn Prospects A With only two lettermen back from last year's squad which lost every meet, prospects for the Gamecock swimming team appear very bleak, in the opinion of new varsity swim coach Earl Skid more. "We just do not have enough swimmers to field a representa tive team," emphasized the coach in a recent interview. "We only have eight varsity swimmers work ing out, while a minimum of 13 is required to cover the events in a collegiate dual meet. It's just like trying to play a basketball game with only four players on your squad." Skidmore is well pleased with the attitude, spirit and hard work of the present squad members, but points out that only one back stroker, one butterfly swimmer and breaststroke candidates are available, and no divers at all.

It was the only bright inate 3s Tulane cocks made a final, desperate at tempt to score. They drove from their 10 to a first down at the Tulane 33 where Reeves threw to Gill, who proceeded to the 12 before fumbling away the ball to Besselman of Tulane. The game ended with the worn out visitors' scoreboard column reading 20 while the Carolina score showed seven. Tulane, winning its first in 18 games was delirious, along with Boy Scouts, who were happy because they had their own cheerleaders. ing Team ppear Dim Doane, Palm Beach, Florida; Gar nett French, Graterford, Pa.; Terry McGee, Winter Garden, Fla.; Don Tindall, Columbia; and Bob McLean, Long Island, N.

An urgent plea is addressed to any Carolina students who have had competitive swimming experi ence, particularly backstroke and breaststroke swimmers, to join the team NOW, when conditioning work for the season is just begin ning.

It was the first time the 195 pound junior from Anderson ville, Ga., had been selected in an injury-and-disappointment filled season. The "Cock of the Walk" honor bestowed weekly upon the Gamecocks' top defensive player is shared this week by two sophomores, end J. R. Wilburn and tackle Len Sears. Both played outstanding ball in the Len Sears 20-7 loss during which the Gamecock offense surrendered the foot ball six times on fumbles. In announcing the selections, Intramu: There is no intramural news this week because somebody forgot to send over the information on the games during the past week. To our best of our recollection Sigma Nu is on top of their league having run rough-shod over the opposition. It looks as if ATO and Sigma Chi will battle it out for second place. In the other fraternity division the Phi Kaps are on top of the pile with the Pikas not far behind. Both teams are undefeated, but the Pikas have suffered two ties.

['he Walk' Coach Marvin Bass said Wil burn played his finest game, both offensively and defen sively. He caught a pass from Reeves for the Gamecocks' only touchdown. Bass also had high praise for the play of Sears, 235-pounder from West Baby lon, N. Y. The Coach also singled out tack:es Steve Cox and Tom Gibson and end Doug Senter as having played well. "We had quite a few individ uals who turned in commenda ble performances," Bass said, "but our overall performance was poor. When you fumble the ball away six times you can't expect to beat anyone." J. R. Wilbum Bass said Reeves "looked like the Dan Reeves of last year on several occasions. I know he overthrew his receivers several times but his timing was bound to be affected by his lack of practice. I was tremendously encouraged by the way he was able to maneuver, and by the 4 courage he has demonstrated week after week despite his many injuries and disappoint ments." Bass said it was hoped Reeves' left knee would continue to respond to treatment and that Deacon Dan would be able to participate in this week's practices and be ready to go full speed this weekend a g a i n s t Memphis State. ral News 7 is the r u I i n g force followed closely by Zone 6.
