Dietzel Si Finest In By DON IIULT Staff Writer Athletic Director-Head Football Coach Paul Dietzel came to USC with the idea of guiding the Game cocks into a winning athletic pro gram. Eeven before his arrival at Caro lina, such sports as track, swim ming, tennis and baseball had already be gun to compile noteworthy p)erfor m- ' ances. Then during this past basketball sea son Coach F r a n k Me- DIETZEL Guire's team registered the Game cocks' best record ever in the ACC and best overall mark in 21 years. p It seems that all thcse sports are heading in the right direction, but Carolina is "fxtball country'' and without at least a winning record on the gridiron, USC will never really have a winning ath letic program. Dietzel readily admits that "we couldn't blame every fan who fol lowed us last fall for being dis appointed in our record. How ever. I'm afraid we'll have to ask our fans to be patient with us for the 1967 season. "Of course, like any coaching staff, we're approaching the up coming spring practice and season with optimism," he said. "We have had time to get better acquainted with our players, and the staff has been designing formations which Salvadori Will Play In All-Star Al Salvadori, who climaxed his varsity career at USC with two outstanding games in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament, has been selected to play in the North South All-Star Basketball Tourna ment April 8 at Erie, Pa.

"We've been tough in voluntary physical education classes to get the boys in top physical shape. But there are problems with graduation losses, the small number of top p r o s p e e t s up from last year's freshman team and another tough schedule." A f o o t b a ll powerhouse is not built overnight, but Dietzel and his staff have taken a giant step in the right direction. The head coach 'imself believes that "USC should have the finest freshman team in the Southeast this fall. We've taken the cream of the crop in the state and some top prospects from the neighbor ing states. But our staff was still not satisfied with i n t e r i o r line depth, so we're still looking for top linemen from the Midwest and Northeast." Dietzel believes that the Atlantic Coast Conference has the potential to be competitive with such con ferences such as the Southeastern only if all the member schools put just as much stress on proficiency in the classroom as on the field. "We are first interested in a prospect's academic potential, then his athletic ability," Dietzel pointed out. "Winning teams are not built on a base of ineligible athletes. We will look over all potential scholar - athletes, no matter what their background and ethnic at tachment." With the continuing tremendous growth of the student body, Diet zel believes that the ticket-buying public is being squeezed out of Carolina Stadium. "In order to accommodate the students, the general public and to attract the big name teams, the seating facilities at the stadium will have to be expanded," he said. Adding a deck to the stadium is a long-range project, and for the present, changes will i n vo I v e lighting, a better - equipped press box and a few more refinements on the traffic control system. To many, this business of re cruiting athletes, selling tickets and stadium construction is just something which distracts from a university's main purpose of pro viding its students with educa tional opportunities. Dietzel, himself an outstanding scholar in college, strongly dis agrees. "A strong athletic program serves as a university's foot-in the-door as far as advertising is concerned. "More often than not, when a university acquires a new cyclotron or rare book collection, such events are given a passing attention. "But athletics serve as a mag net which attracts public attention to a school. When the school gets a bowl bid or has a championship team, the p)ublic will be more re ceptive to the university's academic p rog rams." White's. Belk' Gamecock Seon- Bai In A o 'Farreld With Ac. Iy JAY BENI)ER Staff Writer Expansion of the sports pro gram at US( is unofficially gain ing momentum. Much of the push comes from l)r. Brian A. O'Farrell, assistant professor of History, who is player-coach of the USC Soccer Club. O'Farrell is a member of an ever-increasing band of scholars who match excellence in academic fields with physical excellence. In (lays past. a man could shrug off lack of physical conditioning or academic achievement if he ex celled in an opposite area. That was hefore the days of Byron "Whizzer" White, Pete Dawkins, and Bill Bradley. Now it is de sirable for men to be proficient in both areas. O'Farrell was born in Liverpool, England and lived there for fif teen years. He moved to New York and attended one semester of high school in this country. At the end of the one semester, O'Farrell went to sea on a British merchant ship sailing from New York. lie stayed in the Merchant Marine until his parents moved to California five years later. In California he had difficulty getting a job without a high school diploma, so he decided tc return to school. Because of his age he was encouraged to seek admittance directly into a junior college. lie followed this adlvict and enrolledl in El Camino Juniot College. Following two years at El Ca mino, O'Farrell moved on tc UCLA where he earnedl a B.A. in history. Rather than getting ar M.A., he by-passed (hat level tc hegin his Doctorate program.
