Although Carolina's offensive superiority was staggering, it was the Gamecock defense which molded the victory.

The actual victory blow came when the second half was 3 minutes confided, "That's all I ever go to football games for: to see what people have on," has a point. Aside from the action on the field, the 66th annual football game between Clemson University and the University of South Carolina Saturday was a real show.

As the score does represent the difference of Saturday, neither does it convey the suspense that hovered throughout the mild, gray, afternoon. No one was prepared for the superb effort of the Gamecocks defense.

A group which included six sophomores in its starting lineup, it had yielded at least 14 points to everyone else on its schedule, and had given up an average of 24.4 points per game for nine games. It bore little resemblance to any such team Saturday, holding the defending ACC champions to 1.56 yards of total offense while South Carolina amassed 398. It yielded only 6 first downs to Clemson, while its offense racked the Tigers for 23. The Gamecocks went twice Clemson's 18-inch line in th first half, once to the 13, again to the 18. In the second half the Gamecocks got to the Clemson 7 once with fourth down and a half-yard to go for a first down.

De Gaulle's decision means that the general has turned a deaf ear to the critics of his financial policies and was clearly determined to fight the biggest and possibly last major battle of his career. The announcement indicated that De Gaulle was counting on $2 billion in credits made available to France by the 10 richest nations of the world and austerity measures to save the day. Some financial experts had said a devaluation of the franc and a revaluation upwards of the mark were desperately needed to stem the latest monetary crisis.

But. Germany flatly refused to raise the value of the mark, one of the world's strongest currencies, and De Gaulle apparently saw that refusal as a challenge to his will. De Gaulle described devaluation, in a statement 11 days ago, as the "worst possible absurdity." The communique announcing no devaluation was brief. It followed a three hour and 35 minute cabinet meeting at which bitter debate was reported. "The president of the Republic informs the nation that after today's cabinet meeting-Nov.
