Hi _?\ VV Hi a Jtv!! J

Wanted:
Wanted: someone to attend USC
who can beat Clemson ? in any
sport.
The sad fact that Carolina can't
beat its cross-state rival anymore
was evident once again this
r* 1
vr vc*\uiiu, ad IUC VJdlllCUUUK
baseball team traveled upstate for
a two-game series with the Tigers.
They left Columbia with a 25-6
record, having won their previous
seven contests. They limped home
with a two-game losing streak.
WHILE THE SCORES of the two
losses indicated close games, they
were not. Saturday, the
Gamecocks could manage only a
Greg Johson single in the eighth
iiiiuiig agamsi uiemson s Brian
Snyder. It doesn't really matter
that USC's Aaron Scott pitched a
five-hitter in losing a 1-0 decision.
From the beginning, it was obvious
that USC was not in the game.
Sunday it was worse. Clemson
jumped out to a three-run lead in
the first inning. Even though the
Gamecocks caught up to the home
team by the third inning, it was
just a matter of time before
Clemson broke the game open. The
Tigers ended up winning 6-3.
UNFORTUNATE for USC fans,
the humiliation does not end on the
baseball diamond. Clemson's
basketball team, once the doormats
of the powerful Atlantic
Coast Conference, ACC, beat the
once-proud Gamecocks twice.

Again, while the scores were <
relatively close, the games really I
weren't. t
In football, the score wasn't evenj
close. This year's crowd, which j
was the largest ever to witness a v
football game between the cities of i
Philadelphia and Birmingham, a
could have gone home after e
Clemson took the opening kickoff

P
In fact, over the past two
seasons, the Tigers have won 13 of
the 19 contests between the archrival
schools. The only triumphs j
for the Gamecocks were a 5-4 win
by the tennis team (who lost to '
Clemson a year ago) and two
victories by the women's
basketball team. Add to this, the i
? two wins in seven games during jc
the period by the baseball team, *

Clemson. J
WHY CAN'T CAROLINA beat 1
the Tigers anymore? If anyone
ever comes up with the answer to {
that important question, his name
will likely be held in the same
regard as those of Solomon Rlatt
Jim Carlcn or one of the other n
zealots of USC's athletic depart- 11

All of this leads us to another ti

overall athletic program better
han ours? The simple answer is
;wo-fold.
First, the Tigers have been
getting the best of the recruiting
vars in all sports. It seems that
>oth schools are equal in facilities
ind coaching, but Clemson has an
>vtr*q arlHiul Knmip a r*r*
>**% * m uvivivu KA/tlUO U1C AV/V/.
Vhether the conference is really
hat good doesn't even matter, it is
he mythical quality that it has
?ver recruits which makes it so
trofitable.
Second, the athletic department
it Clemson is concerned with one
Jiing and one thing only - - winning
athletics, and not politics.
THERE IS ONLY one athletic
lirector, who is separate from any
>ne particular sport ? USC has
hree, including the head football
:oach. They only have one sports
nformation director while again,
JSC has three. Also, Carolina has
i vice president in charge of
athletics to go along with many
)ther influential people who have
created the political situation
vhich now exists.
All the crying in the world will
lot change the sad figures. It's not
nuch of a rivalry when one team
lways wins, but maybe it's only
air though, because there was a
ime when Clemson couldn't beat
Carolina.
