The win gave Clemson sole cLain to the Atlantic Coast Conferenc Championship as well as the onl: winning season (6-4) among leagu teams. Coach Paul Dietzel's Gamecock; played the Tigers on even term for most of the first half, but th< loss of two key backs early in th< second half seriously hampered the Carolina offense, and Clemson won going away. The Tigers opened the scorinM midway through the first quater or four-yard run by tailhack Jacky Jakson. Don Barfield added the PAT and Clemson took a 7-0 lead The Gamecocks came back to t he score early in the second quar ter when quarterback Mike Fair mneaked in from the one-yard line, and Jimmy Poole added the PAT. The 'Cocks were able to stop Clemson's o ff ensae, and then narched to the Tiger 13 where Poole kicked a 20-yard field goal w'hich put Carolina ahead, 10-7. But the Tigers, aided by a pass in. erfernee e a 11f, launched another Irive late in the half and went ahead m a three-yard run by Jackson. Bar. ~ield kicked the PAT, and Clemson ,'ent into the halftime intermission with a 14-10 lead. Carolina took the second half ciekoff and appeared to be march ng towards another score when ailback Ben Garnto fumbled on he Clemson 11-yard line and the rigers recovered. Garnto, who had been the spark >dug for the Gamecock offense in he first half, was injured on the lay and forced out of action. The tocky, hard-running junior had al oady picked up 93 yards rushing, *nd his presence was sorely missed uring the remainder of the game. (lemnson struck quickly after the umible recovery and scored on a 49 ard pass5 from quarterback Jimmy kdiso~n to flanker Phil Rogers. liar rIeds' PAT put the Tigers ahead 1-10. The G'amecocks received another r u s h i n g blow when Fair was haken up and forced to leave the ame. Carolina could not mount much f an offense for the remainder of ie game, and had very little sue 1ss in stopping the Tigers. Clemson pushed across two more ores - one on a 12-yard run 'ith a recovered fumble by guard arry Olszewski and the other on rn 11-yardl pass from Addison to d Edgar McGee.

Henny Galloway was the Game vimmer els In most schools with good swimming programs have 25." As an afterthought he adds, "We are remedying this situation with our recruiting program. We don't have a single senior on the team this year and we have four or five freshmen who are looking real good." Thompson explains his not mak ing predictions on the outcome of Saturday's meet b e c a u s e swim ming, like track, can be drawn up on paper before a meet. He says, "We know what our swimmers can do and also what theirs can do. A swimmer may improve or lag by a few tenths of a second, but he is usually going to be pretty con sistent." Obviously there must be some reason for Thompson's optimism with such reservations as he seems to make. The fact is that he admits that his team would be real tough if he had an experienced back stroker. Last season's backstroker, Bob Mc Mahon, did not return to school this fall and his position is one of Thamp son's depth problems. However, he seems impressed by freshman hack stroker John Donovan, who, along with other freshmen, will increase USC's eh a n c e of a conference championship within the next couple of years. Also bothering Thompson is the fact that five teams USC defeated last year have cancelled this year's meet with USC, including Duke, who had beaten Carolina for 17 years prior to last year. "This might hurt us in dual meet competition," T h o m p s o n says. "Last year we were 10-2 in dual meets, but we have p i c k e d up Maryland again and also Alabama. I However, this could be a surprise t e a m. Some of our boys have realized that they are good and don't have to take a 'back seat' to anyone." He adds, "We are making the people in the ACC aware of us. By 1968 we should be ACC contenders. The team might be a surprise team if it can overcome the loss of our back stroker. We might possibly come on strong in the last of the season." Conceivably, the USC swimming team has already made the other ACC schools aware of it. It is rumored that prior to Thompson's arrival the University had won To Get owship will be honored at the annual Hall of Fame dinner in New York Dec. 4, and each will receive a silv'er bowl in addition to the grant.

Sports Editor Carolina's v a r s i t y swimming team springs into action for the 1966-67 season this Saturday at 3 p.m. when they take to the UNC pool in a dual meet in Chapel Hill. Their freshman counterparts be gin competition at 1 p.m. in the same natatorium. USC Swi m min g Coach Jack Thompson says his team plans to swim some good races but makes no predictions, and he has a good rea son for not doing so. UNC is ranked in the pre-season Top Ten swimming teams in the nation, as is N. C. State. Thompson points out that UNC should be one of the tougher teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference, and should also be the outstanding team east of the Mississippi River. He explains also that there are few upsets in swimming competi tion, and UNC has its own ace in the pool. He is Phil Riker, NCAA champion in the 100-yard butterfly, who placed third in the 200-meter butterfly in the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo. n Hut Thompson is making no con ce&sions either. lie says, "Our guys are as good as any in the ACC. Our p r o b l e m is depth. We haven't reached that point where we have swimmers we can fall back on if someone is injured. We have only 13 varsity swimmers and divers, whereas Tigers cocks' leading r u s h e r with 105 yards in 16 carries.

Figuring 12 games per season, this works out to a won-lost record of 2-58 for that time period. Discussing members of the team, Thompson first mentioned that diver Chic Langnehs has had an operation on loth shoulders to cor rect a paiaiful binding of tendons when he raised his arms to dive. He cites diver Vic Laughlin as one of the two best divers in the ACC. He expresses hope that Alex Alex. ander will win the 1000-yard free style, a new event added to .wim ming meets this year by the N(AA. lie says Alexander might be the kev to the season heenuse he wiums iln events where there- isn't much depth. Thompson also has praise for Bill Muller, an almost sure winner in the 200-yard breaststroke, and Dave White, whom he feels has tremendous potential in the back .ti Y Tiger To, Clems8on tailhack Jacky Jaci stand(ing up for the Tliger firstl the Gamecocks in D)eath Vallev la Edgefichd scored from three var< nts, Gre els ural All-St ent champi(n , is reprce:,ented by ive players.7 The complete independen t and1 I raternity teams are as follows: Independent D)efense Ends: Keith Crowe and AshleyI aylor, both of Zone 13.
