This was the 1950 team which was undefeated, but tied once, and which brought Clemson its second bowl victory in three seasons. The Tigers rolled up 344 points to 76 for the opponents, never scoring less than 1 4 points in any game while recording four shutouts. The scoreboard in the background stood where the west end zone stands are now located and the paved parking lot today was then a forest of trees.

How many remember Barton, Cook, DiMucci, Gaskins, Hair, Her- long, Knoebel, Manos, Patton, Radcliff, Rodgers, Shirley, Smith, Wade, With- ers and Wrightenberry? As Coach Frank Howard has— acknowledged on many occasions "These fellas made me a pretty good coach." The Tigers won their usual opener from Presbyterian, but what really turned Clemson on was a 34-0 triumph Billy Hair (77) was a sophomore on the 1950 team and before he completed his career, he was named to the All-Southern team twice and ended up with more yards (3,464) than any otherthree-year back in Clemson history. In this picture "Sweet William" makes yard- age against N. C. State, a game won by Clem- son, 27-0, the third straight shutout to open the season. The safety in the Orange Bowl which gave Clemson a 15-14 victory over Miami has often been referred to as "the play of the year." As one sportswriter wrote the next day: "When Sterling Smith of Clemson met Frank Smith of Miami in the end zone, they didn't start a cough drop factory." Here Sterling holds on for dear life until help arrives, recording a safety and the one-point victory. Fred Cone (31) was rounding out a fabulous career for the Tigers in 1950 and here he gives one of his patented stiff arms to an opposing player. This picture has been labeled "single wing to perfection" and shows Clemson against Wake Forest at Winston-Salem in a game won by the Tigers, 13-12, which was not decided until after time ran out and Bob Patton blocked a Deacon extra point attempt. Fred Cone (31) fakes to Jackie Calvert (21) and gives the ball to Ray Mathews coming around from wingback. Blocking back Dick Hendley (86) Is leading the way followed by pulling linemen Dan DiMucci (47) and Bob Patton (60).
