The en tire backfield starred, Sheppard being chiefly in, the limelight. His' forty yard run through the Citadel team, shaking off tackler after tackler, and finally, landing the ball over the goal lile, was a.feature. In the line Belser and Crouch starred in the line. Belser kept his feet like a ball keeps its balance. Several times he oozed out of a tight mass of play ers and added a number of yards to -his gain., On one occasion he carried half the team for fifteen yards. Crouch got mad early in the game becanse somebody slugged him and thereafter there was always an opening on the right side of the line. Twice he car ried the ball over, twenty yards. Legge did the most spectacular play ing for the Citadel. He is probably one of the lightest men playing foot ball in the State, tipping the balance at only iio pounds; but his work at quarter is heady and consistent and his return of punts is sometimes sensa tional. Brunson, Parker and Muldrow in the line also played good games. The line-up: Citadel o. Carolina i i. E. Smith. . ..... e .. .. .. Lumpkin, Murdaugh.

THE GAME IN DETAIL First Half. Belser made a short kick off from the centre of the field, Legge receiving the ball and being thrown in his tracks. Brunson carried the ball for no gain.

Perrin clipped off 4, but Carolina got it in the neck on the next play--15 yards for an illegal for ward pass. The first pass for the punt was low and Dargan made a second try, Legge advancing the ball io yards. Sturgeon went off tackle for 4 yards and Rodgers shoved the line for three. Legge and Smith have.been starring with their forward 'passes all season and at this stage of, the gante got off a neatly executed one for 6 yards.

An onside kick netted eo yards and Duckett added 4.. Things looked blue for Carolina, for on the next play Legge shot the ball forward, Riddle received it and crossed the goal line. But the uproar of the Citadel supporters was short-lived, for Riddle was tackled and fumbled the ball, Bev erly falling on it and metamorphosing the 6-point touchdown into a zero touchback. This miscue seemed to take the heart out of the Citadel team, and to strengthen the Carolina squad. The cadets did not cease to fight hard, but Carolina had found herself and was thereafter invincible. Sturgeon received the kick-out and advanced 20 yards, but on the next try a fumble lost the ball. From well past the middle of the field, Carolina commenced a triumphal march. Dargan had discovered a weak point in the opposing line; and with Crouch clearing the way a series of bucks was begun which finally dar ried the ball over the line. Belser came out of tackle and start ed it off with a modest 6. Sheppard swiped 3, and then made it first down. Beverly got restless and bucked for 4, Sheppard 4, and Beverly first and 10. Beverly took 4 more and Dargan thought he had his share, so Belser got a bite at the pie. Fifteen yards was a mouthful, so Perrin managed the next 4. Meantime Belser had swallowed hard and was crying for more. He took fifteen and Sheppard was given a chance. Generous John left a 3-foot crumb, and Belser stopped behind the goal line.

HIGH SCHOOL OF SUMTERt WON (Continued from Page One.) ball was constantly in Carolina's ter ritory. At no time in the game was Sumter's goal in danger. Sumter received the kick off the first half, Smith catching the ball and advanced ten yards before being downed. Davis bucked through left guard for seven -yards; Green hit the sline through left tackle for three more, making it first down. The locals failed -to gain on the next two plays, and Duffie was forced 'to punt. He sent a spiral toin gh who .f...le, and Brovn' regAded posseaiori 'of the bll for Sumter. Sumter again failed to gain the required distance on the next three attempts, and the ball went over to Carolina, and was immediately punted down the field. Duffie re ceived the punt, and was downed in his tracks. - The forward pass, Green to Smith, was worked beautifully for fifteen yards. Davis was called upgain, and carried the ball through the visi tors' line for five yards. Shaw added three more. Sumter was now within fifteen yards of Carolina's goal. Duf fie again called for the forward pass, which Green superbly executed to Smith, who carried the ball over for a touchdown. Duffie kicked goal Score, Sumter 6, Carolina o.' Time, 7 min utes of actual play. During -the re mainder of the half, the ball seesawed betweeh the two teams, neither having any great advantage of the other. Car olina was desperate, and resorted to forward passes and trick formations, but found that the Sumter school boys were not to be taken into camp, for they were as repeatedly broken up as they Were called for. The half end ed without further scoring. The second half was largely a punt.. ing between Dufie and McNair, Duffie was at all times perfectly cool and col lected, and shoved his toe in the pig skin for long kicks, gaining on every exchange with his adversary. Both teams seemed a little jaded, and gains by either were infrequent. The game ended, amid loud cheering, with the score the same as it was at the conclu sion of the first half, the victory Sum ter's. Line-up: Sumter. Carolina.

The University Orchestra The University Glee Club will not be able to play at the dance, as it was once reported. The club has not been able to get together yet to play well enough for such an'occasion. It takes much practice for a set of musicians to get in shape to play together. How ever, the orchestra has started to work and will be in good form for the Rod dey Medal contest which will come off before Christmas. Practice is held .twice a week at the residence of Pres ident A. C. Moore. The club is in need of money at present to get the necessary music and instruments for the players. If some of the organizations in college will kindly advance the club a~ little finan cial aid, they will appreciate the same and will return it sometime soon.
