Letters to
Long, Williams
deserve publicity
TO THE EDITOR:
I've been a student at Carolina
long enough to have read about 100
of the Gamecock publications.
This includes the front page,
editorial page, as well as the sports
section.
My first year here your sports
editor was an avid Jeff Grantz fan
as well as a Jay Lynn Hodgin fan.
My second year at Carolina was a
slight bit different, with Grantz
hurt most of the season he became
a Ron Bass and Jay Lynn Hodgin
fan. Now that I am in my third
year at Carolina your sports editor
is once again a Jeff Grantz fanatic.
Granted that Jeff is a good^
quarterback as well as an all
around good athlete, but take a
good look at the statistics. Looking
closely at game statistics you may
stumble across the names of
Kevin Long and Clarence
Williams. What do they have to do
to get more then a 4 or 5 line
paragraph in this paper?
Statistics will show that both
Kevin Long and Clarence Williams
are carrying that oval shaped
object, better known as a football,
at a record setting pace. At the
conclusion of the Appalachian
State game Kevin is only 60 yards
or less shv of hernmincr
'FIRST' back in Carolina history to
have gained '1,000 YARDS' in a
single season.
On the other hand Clarence is
about 200 yards short of gaining
'1,000 YARDS'. With two games
left in the season it is a known fact
that, unless some freak accident
occurs, Kevin will get his 1,000
yards. The possibility of Clarence
getting 1,000 yards is very conceivable.
If he keeps the pace he
has been going in recent weeks it is
almost for certain.
