coKY The group of people that left Columbia Airport about five-thirty last Friday afternoon was jovial and confident, jovial because all of them were looking forward to a relaxing trip up to College Park, Maryland, and confident that the Gamecocks would bring back a victory. Forty-four ball play ers and some fifty-odd coaches, newsmen, cheerleaders and boosters loaded into two chartered aircraft to make the trip. The planes were ten minutes late in taking off, but once in the air all aboard settled back for the two-hour flight up to Washington National Airport. The newsmen discussed the coming game with Maryland, while others just sat back and relaxed to the hum of the engines. Thirty minutes out of Columbia the stewardess, with the able assistance of the four Carolina cheerleaders, began to serve dinner. There was steak for some and lobster for th( fish-eaters. Dessert was served afterward, a whole pint of ice cream for anyone, who wanted to attempt it. As the plane passed over Richmond, all heads pressed against the window to view the Virginia capitol, which shown like a giant Christmas tree. The approach to the Nation's Capital was brightened by lights from the sublurbar areas of 1). C. About twenty minutes to nine the plane touched down at National and proceeded to the terminal. Sports Publicity Diirector Tom Price and Assistant Ath letic Director Frank Johnson were there to meet the plane and acknowledge that all reservations had been made. Two Greyhound busses and a large truck were parked out behind the terminal to carry the players and their baggage to the Holiday Inn located in College Park, just off the Maryland campus. The players checked into their motel rooms; others ven tured out to see the City of Washington and the Maryland campus. There was an air of expectation for the day to come. Saturday came, but it did not bring with it the hopes of those who had traveled so far for a victory. A disheartened and displeased group of ballplayers filed on to the busses parked in back of Byrd Stadium after the game. The cheer leaders, worn out fi om their gallant effort to keep a some what disgusted crowd aroused, sat on the small hill in front of the Carolina locker room. They looked as tired as the players. Coach Floyd paced up and down, Coach Bass stood hv silently. The noise and enthusiasm of the previous day was gone. Ninety people had undertaken an adventure that had been a disheartening experience. The Carolina Gamecocks had traveled five hundred miles to play a team that they should have beaten, but fate would not have it so. Their play in the first half was outstanding. Despite the 7-6 margin in favor of Maryland at the end of the half, it seemedl certain that Carolina wouldl blow the game wide open in the second half. Their blocking and tac kling had been superb. But MarylandI was the team that did the breaking with two touchdowvns and a field goal. The hopes and expectations of those in the stands had been tramp)ledl. Last week is now on the books as a loss, but we must not give up hope. South Carolina has a good football team, and if you will come out to the Stadium this Saturday you will see what we mean.

McClain will be counting on Sophomores Ricky Moore of Dar lington and Bob Philson of Co lumbia, along with one or two junior college transfers to help plug the gap. Nunnery Could Help In addition, Woodrow Nunnery, who will attain sophomore status in January, could help the team if his engineering curriculum per mits him to play.

Although they were unaware of st it then, that was to be the last g hurrah for the South Carolinians, ir at least for that afternoon. Black a *ack McCathern missed the try H for point, and from there on, the s( injury-riddled Terrapins called the w shots. N Soph Petry Sophomore quarterback Phil - Petry, replacing the injured Kenny Ambrusko, performed beyond all of Nugent's expectations. Petry passed for one touchdown and plunged one yard for snother. He had siperb backfield support from two other yearlings, Tom Hickey and Walt Marciniak. The 210 pound Hickey, filling in for Len Chiaverini, carried the ball 22 times for 94 yards and scored once. End Howard Humphries, a con stant thorn in the side of the Gamecocks, caught a short pass representing the University to come out for practice.
