ED VAUGHN, Assistant Professor of Textiles, in cooperation with the Athletic Staff and Textile Faculty This 70th meeting between the Tigers and the Gamecocks marks the last time that Clemson will host an intercollegiate football team on terra firma. At the beginning of the 1973 season inter- collegiate football games at Clemson will be played on a textile produce— artificial turf. Artificial turf is a textile develop- ment that has been used successfully for football for several years. To meet the requirements for a product to replace a good natural turf for football, textile scientists had to develop a material with Clemson managers Pete Anderson and David Wessinger check out the reflectance characteristics of a good traction, strength, resilience, color- turf sample in the color science center in the Textile Department. fastness, pest-resistant and maintenance characteristics. Artificial turf is often made with grass-like nylon filaments knitted or tufted to a hieght of 3/4 inches on a backing fabric of polyester and nylon. This carpet is adhesively bonded to a shock-absorbing moisture proof pad which in turn is bonded to an asphalt base. Clemson has been considering arti- ficial turf for Death Valley for several years. The Athletic and Textile Depart- ments have followed closely the progress of various turf designs and recently made a cooperative study to determine which turf would be best suited for Clemson football. When the Tigers meet the Bulldogs of The Citadel September 8, 1973, textiles will be there in full color. Textile graduate student Bob Williams demonstrates the use of an abrasion tester to linebacker John Rhodes and student manager Pete Anderson. But artificial turf development is not the only way that textiles and football forced elastic braces, nonwoven cotton with Clemson's Textile Department in work together.
