The Gamecocks, outmanned and outplayed by the excel lent Clemson team, went down as they have all year-fight ing. And though a good try. is no substitute for a good vic tory, the gutty Gameccoks gave it everything they had . . and the defeat was respectable. In fact, the entire season was very respectable. Very few times this season did the Gamecocks defeat them selves. Nearly every second of every game they were in there battling. And in several games-against Duke, UNC, and Virginia, for instance-it was the extra ef fort, the trying a little harder, that made the difference. Several individuals produced outstanding seasons. Sopho more sensation Warren Muir emerged as one of the confer ence's leading rushers, and was named to the 33-man All America team announced by the Detroit Sports Extra. Fred Zeigler, another sophomore, led the ACC in pass receiving. Mike Fair, Don Somma, and numerous other Gamecocks came up with fine years, and with 21 key lettermen return ing next season, prospects appear bright indeed. But as the gridiron season closes, the basketball and swimming seasons are just getting underway. Coach Frank McGuire and his cagers take the court against Erskine Saturday to open what promises to be another successful season. All-conference candidates Gary Gregor, Jack Thompson and Skip Harlicka, plus the steady play of Frank Standard and the expected help of Skip Kickey, pose a formidable lineup to face any team in the ACC this season. And the swimmers, for two straight years fourth in the league, are looking forward to a higher finish this year. Indications are for a successful basketball season, a successful swimming season, and more successes with spring sports. There's little room for pessimism at Carolina. The present is very good. And the future holds tremendous promise. 1. What's a math major doing witho 'The Complete Guide to the plnigotftyubuh Pruning of the Breadfruit Tree"? ls ek It was a terrific buv.
