Clemson followers ? who traditionally stayed in town to enjoy the fair after the game ? and police ad^ vised the USC students not to parade the controversial picture during the next night's annual Elk's Parade; the students, though, did demonstrate the picture, leading to near disaster. Barton describes the event: I "Following the parade, the Clemson cadets were dismissed near the Capital building, which left them only a short walk from the ^ Carolina campus. They w quickly marched to the Sumter Street entrance to the campus, bayonets and swords in readiness, while a small band of Carolina students crouched behind hastily arranged defenses at the wall. A few pistols, clubs I and anything else that would be usable in self defense, were scattered through the crowd." Christie Benet, a Gamecock assistant coach, ^ acted as spokesman for the ^ greatly out-numbered Carolina crowd and offered to end the uproar by personally boxing any two Clemson cadets. School Iomcials ana ponce soon arrived, however, before any physical confrontations to end the riot. The incident resulted in the suspension of the Carolina-Clemson game for six years.

Prior to Price's discovery, the 1903 season was listed as having nine games, seven of v/hich Carolina won. A 29-0 Gamecock win over Guilford was somehow omitted through the years. The 1903 season ? which included wins over Welsh Neck (89-0), Tennessee, vjreorgia lecn, Georgia, Davidson, Guilford and two wins over the Columbia YMCA ? lifted enthusiasm to an all-time high at Carolina. A Gamecock editorial following the season read: "Carolina is now recognized as a star of first magnitude in the athletic firmament of the South " Williams left his coaching post at USC in 1903, however, and soon fell out of Gamecock fans' favors, for six years later he turned "traitor" as Clemson's coach and beat Carolina two of the next three games. Carolina marched on to post winning seasons in the next two seasons, recording 5-2-1 and 4-2-1 records, respectively. Football, however, was in general not enjoying so much success. The deaths of several players had destroyed the developing sport's national popularity ? there were 18 footballrelated deaths in 1905 around the country.
