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.

The Gamecocks set up two Tu

bids of their own by fumbling six

Greenies 20-7. It was Tulane's first
victory in 18 games.

A few plays later halfback Ron

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.

'CockOf'
Quarterback Dan Reeves, who
had practiced only one day in
the past two weeks due to a
knee injury, completed 13
passes for 166 yards and a
Dan Reeves
touchdown against Tulane to be
chosen South Carolina's offen
sive player of the week.
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.

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.

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.
