Graduate School and Selh Sciences, Law and Educati< Carolina 4; Cha The team from the Charleston Ath letic Club defeated Carolina on Davis Field on October 22 by the score of 15 to 4. The Athletics' team was composed of former college "stars," and all the men were fully experi enced. In addition to this, they out weighed Carolina 13 pounds to the man, and made many gains by brute force. They played the "old-time" game, running line bucks and tackle out of tackle plays for the most part. The Carolina team showed great im provement in executing the forward pass, but a great deal more practice is needed. In the handling of punts Carolina is still deficient, and the men are not fast enough in getting down under them. A drizzling rain fell throughout the game and was accountable for many of the fumbles. The ball was wet and slippery, and, consequently, not easily handled. On two occasions Charles ton lost considerably on account of poor passing back of the ball for kicks. The attendance was greatly cut down by the unfavorable weather, but those who braved' the elements were quite enthusiastic, the sidelines continually cheering. The entire Charleston team played with ginger and spirit during the en tire game, and several of her men Sof South lumbia, South Caro tembe!r 23rd, Degrees ( is Middle of L. I., LL.

H4e used good headwork in the management of his team, and himself made the most'spec tacular runs of the game. Once, on a quarterback run, he eluded almost the entire Carolina team and went for 55 yards. Again, on a missed punt, lie snatched up the ball and dashed 50 yards, beihg thrown only two yards from the goal. He also kicked well, and it was seldom that a punt or on side kick did not fall in his hands. Von Gemmingen, the big tackle, was a tower of strength, both on offensive and defensive play. He made several good gains through the line. Boyd, Johnson and Wyndham also played a hard, aggressive game. For Carolina, Herbert and Dargan, at ends, played the best game, par ticularly f-Ierbert, who was in his first game. Both of them tackled hard and smashed many of Charleston's strong est plays. In executing the forward pass, they were quick and aggressive, netting some of the longest gains for Carolina. Hammond played well in the backfield, as did Belser, when he got in the game in the second half. Mobley never let up in his playing. Carolina was decidedly "up against it"-to use a slang expression-but were game and gritty to the last down, playing with true "Carolina spirit." Carolina ina 'onferred. A. M., A. B., B. S., C.
