Il ,dite a light rair; and cold night air, students gathered en masse in front of ther Russell House to accompany the tiger along his last trek. Girls raa in chains, boys dodged rur i' girls, and everybody got we. The shirttail parade, escorted by a Columbia police motorcyclist and led by C a r o l i n a Cheerleaders, wound down Green Street to P i c k e n s Street to Washington St rcet to Main Street to the Capi tel. The parade was a moving pep ra:ly with sporadic chanting, yell ing, and bursts of running. Following traditions of by-gone years, the group broke into a dead run down the last block of 'Main Street and spread over the steps of the Capitol. The students "Beat hell out of C'lemson" verbally while standing on the Capitol steps and then started for Athletic Field A on hack campus to "Burn the Tiger." o The crowd was sonewhat dis per: ed on the way back to campus. n C o I u il) i a motorists witnessed to a prolonged migration of students, iy wet - haired, and coats - in - hand cro-Aing Blossom Street.

In last year's contest before an overflow crowd in Carolina Sta dium, a victory for Clemson would have given them sole possession of the ACC Championship while a win for the Gamecocks was worth a share of the title. A last-minute touchdown by the khotz Tigers brought them within one point of a tie, but Gamecock line backer Bob Gunnels knocked down a Jimmy Addison pass at tempt for the two-point con%er ion and Carolina came out on top, 17-16.
