Sports Editor The USC Gamecocks are off to a fine start this year and one of the reasons is a healthy quarter back named Mike Fair. Fair, a graduate of Parker High School in Greenville, is in his third year as a starter. Besides being a three-year letterman in football u n d e r the direction of Whitie Kendall, Fair also lettered three years as a guard on the basketball team and five years as shortstop on the baseball team. A f t e r graduation from high school, Fair had a n u m b e r of scholarship offers. "I chose Carolina because I liked the school and the coaches, especially Coach Bass and Coach Pitts," commented the Game cock quarterback. "They were real nice and made a good im pression on my family. I was also offered a real good deal on football and baseball." Like everyone else, Fair has also noticed a difference in the 1967 edition of the Gamecock as con pared to last year. "I think one of the biggest differences has been the attitude of the team and the s t u d e n t body, Their spirit has helped IS so much. "I also think the off-season program had a lot to do with the change. Through a program of weight lifting and running, we learned to push ourselves and become mentally tougher. This attitude carries over into the playing season. "Besides the conditioning pro graims, I think Coach Dietzel has 1 had a lot to do with the surge. Personally he has made a big in fluence of my thinking, and he is a real great man. However, he has managed to do this without changing my individual perform ance."

When asked if he were surprised at the success of the team, Fair said, "I never thought that we would be 3-1 at this stage, but after we won a couple of games we like the feeling. I am not, however, surprised at some of the individual performances." Fair calls the Duke game and the welcome event at the Rus sell House the most memorable occasion in his career.
