By RITA COSBY di Staff writer in 1V4J, Lrme i.awnoin s typical uay as a oamecocK i foot ball player entailed drill practice, military classes, w naval and science tactics and football practice. "We were so busy, but we loved it," he said. di Lawhorn was also one of the last "Three l.ettermen." He played basketball, track and football successfully. u "Now, this would be impossible. One sport alone is so demanding and specialized today. n "Today, players must live, breathe and eat for that one h sport." he said. "To play these three never would have been possible today." a There was also more stress on academics and maintaining high grades, Lawhorn said. Many of the athletes went p cm to become doctors, engineers and businessmen. r "We were in the Navy B-12 program under federal government jurisdiction. If we flunked out or had bad v grades, forget it. We'd get sent right away to boot camp," 1 he said. i.awhorn remembers the mistakes he made years ago, c such as that missed catch and tackle against Alabama. i "And luckily we still beat Clemson alter I hit that ball guy," he said. t Friends from sports have surrounded I'at Thrash, who ; played end in '42, '43, '44 and '46, all of his life. He opened and became president of a Columbia spor- I ting goods store 40 years ago. "Football helped me get my foot in the door, but after that, you got to work like anybody else," Thrash said. "1 made tons of contacts and old friends through playing ball. I'm 65 now, and some have even died. Time flics," he said.

Hunnicutt was a Gamecock runningback and cocaptain on the same team Thrash played on. In 1947 and 1949, Hunnicutt played for a semi-pro team, the Charlotte Clippers, and played six games with the Detroit Lions. He was later released from the team. Then he coached and played on several Navy teams in LitThe Ga \ppd? nhnfnomnhprc.

Hunnicutt recalls the rigorous daily schedules he en ired and called it "one dI the happiest times ol my life The day began at 5:30 a.m. lor the naval progiam. here was always at least two and a half hours of group orkout and no official weight program then. "But I managed to work out v.ith the weights in tr.\ arm," he said. The players had to meet for three meals a day and had > all eat together. "We even had a dietitian who told us to drink loads ol lilk. They thought it could only do good in those days," c said. Those who missed scheduled meals were forced to bu\ ud get it themselves. "The Navy in '43, before the war, was stricter on the ilayers than the coaches, especially since we were on tOTC scholarship," Hunnicutt said. "We had bed checks and lights out at 10 p.m. no tnattet vhat. Most look care of themselves and went to bed early, 'ractice was exhausting," he said. The players also had to pass all of then courses, and rach year they were updated and prescribed specific :ourses towards their degree. "Many now try to strive to be professionals and don't hink past that. They've got to rely more on othei ivenues, too. 1 know that from my own pro experience.

"1 didn't even know what a marijuana cigarette was when 1 was in college. Whatever it takes to stop tins serious abuse, even if they have to kick everyone oil lot life, they should do it." Hunnicutt though, said the sport truly develops perseverance. "It's amazing to think about all the licks we took," he said. He also said if you don't have character, you can't play the sport. "But I think 1 would've been just as good a person if 1 had been in the band," he said.
