1cocY The 1963-64 athletic calendar has drawn to a close and wo as fans are left only with memories of some hard-earned victories and bitter defeats. The wins and losses that have been compiled during the last nine months are now history. What remains is the possible enjoyment and experience that we have gained from watching our teams do battle. It all started last fall, when we returned with expec tations of a winning season in football after the heart breaking 1962-63 season. Our expectations were shat tered as the football team ended the two longest losing streaks in the nation. The team's play in the Clemson game helped a little to sooth the hurt of nine previous games, but it was too little and too late. We could only stand in the cold afternoon shadows of Carolina Stadium and say wait until next year, a cry that has become rather commonplace. The darkness of November 28th passed on and soon a new spark appeared. The newspapers call him the "Bantam Rooster," but we as students knew him as Chuck Noe, the man who talked of winning. Win he did with a type of basketball that was boring only to the opposition. Interest in Carolina Basketball hit a peak on December 16th, when our Gamecocks stood nose to nose with Mighty Duke for thirty-seven minutes only to lose 77-70. We as fans sud denly realized that our support was needed by the team, and for more than a month we shook the walls of the Caro lina Field House at every home game. Exams came and the "Bantam Rooster" passed from our midst, leaving just a shadow of the winning he talked about. A tall man from Tennessee filled the shoes of the giant who had departed, as only a man of great character and devotion to duty could do. Dwane Morrison should not be forgotten for the job he did. He gave us two wonderful nights of winning basketball on our home court at the season's end and despite the loss at the ACC Tournament, there was a spark of hope for the year to come. Basketball fans will never forget the tall, skinny kid from Winnsboro who brought distinction to South Carolina with his play on the court. Ronnie Collins was truly an All American. The 1963-64 "Fightin' Gamecocks" were far from being the best team in the country or even in the Conference, but they gave us something to believe in and be proud of. Future USC athletes can gain from the efforts of Terry Lucansky, Ronnie Collins, Jimmy Collins, and Bill Yarbrough. There is no award fitting enough to honox these boys for what they gave. The swimming team must not be neglected. For them it was a year of reckoning. They broke a long losing streak and it appeared that future years would have great promise, but Coach Earl Skidmore passed away leaving us with only expectations of what he had planned for the program. Coach Skidmore will not be forgotten for what he did with so little in such a short time. Spring burst upon us with a new look. His name was Reising and they said that he came to coach baseball, Coach he did, giving South Carolina their first winning team in many, many years and a style of play that kept the Birds in every game, but one. The enthusiasm for base ball grew and it looks as if we are on the way up. The grass is greener on the ball diamond these days. The track team was the biggest winner in the spring. They beat every ACC opponent except Clemson and would have taken them if it had not been for a little bad luck. The track favorite was a lad from Australia named Crombie who won a Conference Title in the half-mile. With boys like this It is no wonder that Coach Weems Baskin is smiling and looking to the 1965 season. He only hopes that next year the sun will shine for the Carolina Relays and the State Meet. Tennis came out of the depths of defeat and tied one match to break a long streak. There is much optimism dowr on the courts of Maxcy Gregg these days. Coach McClair has indicated that USC will have a winning team in a few years. As we look to the 1964-65 year, we cannot be any thing more than optimistic. For the football team next season is a year of reckoning and atonement, for the basketball team under new Head Coach Frank McGuire, a year of proving and for the baseball team another step upward. As we all stand and look back, we can only say that it is not so much the winning and losing, but the fact that we have been a part of the competition in intercollegiate athletics. We, as fans, have rejoiced with victory and suffered with defeat, and what the future holds for athletics at Carolina is of interest to us all. We have one Conference Title behind us now, let us pusi on for another. The way is hard and difficult, but with the enthusiasm and spirit that we have now we can do it.

CROMBIE The Gamecocks got a chance to crow when Bob Crombie, the daz zling darling from down under, strutted through the 880 in 1:53 flat. Crombie lay back in the pack until about the 660 - yeard mark and then became bored with his company, broke into a sprint and flashed down the homestretch, glancing over his shoulder sev iral times at the runners laboring behind him in vain. A big upset came in the 440 when Mike McGuinness, USC sprint ace, got off to a bad start and finished third. The New Jer sey quarter-miler rallied in the last 80 yards, but the damage was mortal, and he found himself looking at the backs of winner, Steve Lamb of Maryland and number two man, Doug Adams of Clemson. North Carolina's Dale White won both the 100 yard and 220 yard dashes, dethroning former champion Jimmy Wynn of Clem son who finished second in the century and third in the 220. Maryland won and won big. The Terps will wear the cinder crown for the 10th year and next season the ACC teams will again gather to try and knock it off the lau reled head of Keohoe's track giant.
