Newspaper accounts last
Monday morning describing a
fight that occurred during the
South Carolina—Marquette
basketball game read like
something lifted out of Grimm’s
Faii7 Tales.
Millions watching on
television, including thousands
of fans in the New Bern area.

saw what happened, and it
wasn’t as some sports writers in
Columbia reported the hectic
fracas.
Published stories said the
battle “finally was broken up by
the officials and coaches’’ and
“The South Carolina band
played the Star Spangled
Banner to give police an edge if
any of the crowd started
surging on the court.’’
Actually it wasn’t the coaches
and officials, as reported, who
stopped the melee, but the
police. And there wasn’t any IF
about the crowd. Many of the
more stupid did surge onto the
court.
As for the Gamecock band
playing the National Anthem.
This wasn’t done until the fight
was over. Like one of the
commentators doing the
television show said at the time,

ROOFING ... At George Air Force Base, Calif., partially
finished modular house gets the last roof section. Towering crane
arm lifts roof slowiy into position over second floor as construe-
tion crews guide modular unit toward its place. The project was
undertaken to show that cost reductions are possible without
loss of quality through use of material technologies, volume pro
curement and factory assembly methods. The complete com
munity included 180 townhouses, 16 apartments and four ranch
style houses.
too late.”
Considering the disadvantage
any visiting team is under at the
Carolina Coliseum in Columbia,
it’s a wonder the Gamecocks
ever lose a home game. If
Marquette can win there, they
can win anywhere.
The one bright spot was the
officiating. Under exceedingly
trying circumstances, the
whistle blowers called a good
game. No one can truthfully say
that the fight resulted from the
contest getting out of hand.
South Carolina has, without
question, one of the top teams in
the country, and deserves its
high ranking in the polls.
However, it is doubtful that
Coach FYank McGuire and his
outfit will ever win any sports
manship awards.
Admittedly, college
basketball isn’t for sissies. It’s
rough and it’s tough, but a lot of
athletes manage to succeed at it
without carrying a chip on their
shoulder and swinging
haymakers from a player’s
blind side.
After what happened last
Sunday afternoon, there’s more
reason than ever to be glad that
South Carolina is no longer in
the Atlantic Coast Conference.

There is, I know not how, in
the minds of men, a certain
presage, as it were, of a future
existence, and this takes the
deepest root, and is most
discoverable, in the greatest
geniuses and most exalted
souls.—Cicero.
There is little peace or
comfort in life if we are always
anxious as to future events. He
that worries himself with the
dread of possible contingencies
will never be at rest.—Samuel
Johnson.

Not to return one good office
for another is inhuman; but to
return evil for good is
diabolical. There are too many
even of this sort, who the more
they owe, the more they hate.-^
Seneca.
All who have meditated on the
art of governing mankind have
been convinced that the fate of
empires depends on the
education of youth.—Aristotle.
Duty is the grandest of
ideas, because it implies the
idea of God, of the soul,
of liberty, of responsibility, of
immortality.—Lacordaire.
If you cannot inspire a woman
with love of yourself, fill her
above the brim with love of
herself; all that runs over will
be yours.—Colton.
Genuine good taste consists in
saying much in few words, in
choosing among our thoughts,
in having order and
arrangement in what we say,
and in speaking with com
posure.—Fenelon.
Life is hardly respectable if it
has no generous task, no duties
or afflictions that constitute a
necessity of existence. Every
man’s tosk is his life preser
ver.—Emerson.
Our present knowledge of the
universe is such as to leave us
with a very inadequate con
ception of the majesty of
existence.—Oliver J. Lodge.
Judges ought to be more
learned than witty, more
reverent than plausible, and
more advised than confident.
Above all things, integrity is,
their portion and proper vir
tue.—Bacon.
Though reason is progressive,
instinct is stationary. Five
thousand years have added no
improvement to the hive of the
bee, or the house of the
beaver.—Colton.
