TES FROM GAME ONE
IAiier me uamecocK lootoan team thoroughly waxed
e Pacific Tigers Saturday night, head coach Jim Carlen
eeted local media with the following statement. "I didn't
ink we played very well."
If Carolina didn't play very well then poor old Pacific can
insider itself lucky. If the Gamecocks had played well
lere is no telling what the final score might have been.
I Coach Carlen, however was justifiably disappointed with
s offensive team. They were plagued by numerous
liscues in their opener. Early in the game, quarterback
arry Harper and center Mark Austin had trouble exlanging
the football. Coach Carlen assured everyone that
ley would work on that problem during practice this week.
USC fumbled the ball six times Saturday evening. As a

punishment during this week's practice
ftssions.
Freshman punter Chris Norman was impressive in his
Ijbut performance. The Albany, Ga. native boomed six
ants for an average of 44.3 yards. Norman had excellent
I ting-time on nearly all of his kicks.
I Gamecock fans can be relieved that George Rogers does
ot have the douhle-diitv r?f nrnmnHnt* him?#?lf fr?r tho
Ieisman. "Big George" is a fountain of modesty. In
ascribing his spectacular 73-yard TD run against Pacific,
ogers praised nearly everybody on the Gamecock ofnsive
squad, except himself. George Rogers is truly one
i a million.

SC didn't play
support and only money talks. If vou have eiven $100 or
more for at least ten years and were denied USC-Clemson
tickets for 1980, contact the undersigned if interested in
having a court set a fair ticket distribution preventing
discrimination. June O. Yarborough, P.O. Box 468,
Florence, SC, 29503."
Personally, I can sympathize with Mr. Yarborough's
cause. For the first time in 32 years, my father was denied
Carolina-Clemson tickets. The fact that he had played
football at Carolina, been president of the Greenville
Gamecock Club, given at least $100 to the Gamecock Club
for nearly three and a half decades, and had bought a piece
of astro turf from Paul Dietzel, never entered into the
decision not to give him Clemson tickets. As Mr. Yarborough's
ad said, only money counts.

Money is the only tangible yardstick that the Gamecock
Club has to measure support with.
A word must be given on behalf of the new CarolinaClemson
ticket policy. In the past Carolina and Clemson
exchanged 15,000 tickets. Over the summer, Athletic
Director Jim carlen did some homework and found out that
no school in the country exchanged that many tickets for a
single game. Nebraska and Oklahoma trade about 3,800.
Penn St. and Pitt exchange only 5,000, while Ohio St. and
Michigan swap between four and six thousand tickets.
By cutting the USC-Clemson ticket exchange to 12,000,
USC may now sell 3,000 more season tickets. Additional
season ticket sales means additional revenue. Hopefully,
this money will be used to expand USC's overall athletic
program.
Also on the positive side, there will be 3,000 less Tiger fans
in Williams-Brice Stadium at next year's USC-Clemson
game.
THE RED HOT ATLANTA BRAVES
Rumor has it that the Atlanta Braves are already selling
World Series tickets. Well that may be a little premature,

caliber baseball lately.
The Braves organization, known for its stupidity in the
past, must be commended for remaining patient with thirdyear
manager Bobby Cox. At last, the Braves have a
capable field general who has them on the road to
respectability. If only the Braves didn't have to play the
Cincinnati Reds. If it were not for the Reds, Atlanta would
have one of the best winning percentages in baseball.
