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

are best suited to our capabihties.
"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."

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.

on match play.
