This decade will be remembered in history for many
accomplishments: great space feats, an era of vast techno
logical advancement, and most of all, the crying out of the
American Negro.
In a recent article in Sports Illustrated, Jesse Owens, the
Negro athlete who will always be remembered for his ac
complishments in the 1936 Olympics, discussed the Negro
athlete.
Owens told of his admiration for the Negroes who
participated in the Olympics this year, as Americans.
He questioned the absence of such superstars as Lew
Alcindor who abstained from the games because of their
race.
If Negroes are striving for equality, then the Olympic
Games, in which the individual is stressed should be a stage
on which they build respect and integrity for themselves as
individuals, Negroes and as Americans.
Those who stayed away from the games created a
stigma of separation from their own race and from the
spirit of individualism.
One athlete who helped add to an American Negro heri
tage was Charlie Scott.
Scott will be causing havoc in the ACC this year along
with his Tar Heel teammates. He will be a better player for
having competed in the Olympic games, and a better indi
vidual for knowing the other individuals who competed.
Spencer Haywood, another Negro athlete on the
Olympic basketball team, won the respect and admira
tion of the Olympic Village and the world with his fan
tastic play.
Looking closer to home, little Kenny Dial, a 5'4" fullback
came out for the frosh team at USC on his own.
Dial is not a scholarship athlete, but he has stuck with
the team and has easily been accepted by his teammates as
one of our own.
In the Biddies' game with N. C. State, he thrilled the
crowd when he snared a screen pass and made some
brilliant moves once he had the ball.
The Negro athletes who raised black gloved hands during
a medal ceremony at the Olympic games were not helping
Black America.
In their salute to Black Power they only released bitter
sentiment both in America and around the globe.
Black Power will never be a help to a Negro heritage,
but young men like Scott, Hlaywood, and Dial will give the
Negro his deserved place in society with their enthusiasm,
guts, and individualism.

Although the Gamecocks ab
sorbed a 35-28 loss to Florida
State, Tommy Suggs and Freddy
Zeigler both set Carolina records.
Suggs, the soph QB from Lamar,
set a school record for most com
pletions in a game with 24 out of
37 hitting the mark.
Those completions broke a rec
ord set by Dan Reeves against Ne
braska in '64.
Reeves, who is now playing pro
ball with Dallas, injured his knee
three weeks ago and has been lost
to the Cowboys for the season.
g The former Gamecock QB was
n on hand to see his record fall.

Zeigler #nared five of Suggs'
passes to give him a career total
of 72, breaking J. R. Wilburn's old
record of 70. It was Reeves who
was quarterbacking at the time
Wilburn was working his way up
to 70.
Suggs also set a mark for most
passing yardage in one game with
a remarkable 324 yards. This yard
age came against the top pass de
fense in the nation.
But it was also passing which
defeated the Gamecocks as USC
couldn't stop the combo of Cappel
man to Sellers as the Florida State
receiver took in a personal high of
16 passes to aid in the downfall of
the Gamecocks.
