The 101st year of the
institution ushered in
the official
establishment of the
presnt University of
South Carolina.
"It is doubtful that
there is a college in the
state that takes as
little interest in
athletics as we do..."
stated a campus
publication, The
Carolinian, in an effort
to raise a USC fotball
team. The fact that all
other colleges were
making headway in the
sport spurred Carolina
into quickly assembling
a team comprised
of students as
well as non-students.
USC's football team
had no coach and no
other name tham "The
College Boys." Their
debut game, played
against the ''Mountain
Boys," resulted in a
disastrous 44-0 loss.
BUT IT WAS A
beginning, and soon
the players had a
trainer (at $300 for
three months) who
whipped them into
shape as a team that
came to be known as
the4'Game Cocks" and

ming a team at the
same time and soon
fiery cahalenges were
being tossed between
the mountains and the
midlands.
The two teams were
brought together at the ^
Elmwood fairgrounds ^
on Nov. 12. 1896, where
Carolina was the 12-6
victor.
The trustees were
extremely opposed to
"the illegitimate use of
athletics as an advertising
medium for
educational institutions."
*
For a while, they
refused to grant aid to
the program,
restricted the team to
games witnin
Columbia, and contemplated
banning
rooting and cheering.
USC baseball was bron
in this era, also.
The Gamecock
newspaper, first edited i
by Robert Gonzales in
1908, adopted its name
from the team, which
at the time was on a
year-to-year losing
streak. A well-wishing
professor remarked,
"May the Gamecock
survive longer than
any chicken I've been (
able to keep on cam
