GAMECOCKS HAVE GOOD I SHOWN BY A Five Games Have Been Won Team Has Scored 203 Games of t A casual glance at the results of the season's games will drive home the fact that Carolina was repre sented on the gridiron the past sea son by eleven husky athletes who stack up well with the first strings of the South Atlantic States. Five games were won, two were lost and one was tied. During the season the Gamecocks amassed a total of 203 points to their opponents' 47. The Gamecocks pried the lid off the present season in a happy man ner out on Davis field October 5, when the strong Wake Forest team was taken into * camp by the score of 1o to 3. The game was hard fought throughout and enabled the fans to get a line on some new men who were disporting themselves in the Garnet and Black. The work of Dan Heyward attracted favor able attention and it was seen that in this former high school star Carolina had landed a man who would unfold something in the games to come, which prediction, by the way, has been justified in all the year's contests. The next week the university pigskin artists journeyed up to Charlottesville, Va., where they met the University of Virginia. Al though greatly outweighed and playing against a team composed of veterans, the Gamecocks fought fiercely throughout every quarter, the final score being 19 to o in favor of the Virginians. The chief fac tor in the success of the opposition was the work of Half Back Gooch, who ripped off many long gains in the course of the game. Following closely on the heels of the Virginia game the local aggre gation received its second defeat of the season at the hands of the Uni versity' of Florida. The contest was staged in Gainesville, Fla., and the Alligators copped, TO to 6. It is difficult to drIaw~ spiritual comfort from p)hysical (defeat, but it is cheer inig to think that the Evergiade buinch wvon on a miserahle fluke, which came in the last fewv minutes of play. This is the second game wvhich has been played between the State universities of South Carolina and Florid2, the initial meet, held last year on Davis field, resulting in a 6-6 te IECORD AS REVIEW OF THE SEASON i, Two Lost and One Tied. Points, Opponents 47. he Season. The following Saturday the team mosied down to the College of Charleston and swamped that bunch by the overwhelming score of 68 to o. The Charlestonians fought gamely in every quarter, but were playing against a team that was a class higher than themselves, and the result of the contest was never in doubt. The'shining star of this fracas was Dutch Passailaigue, who was operating against ancient enemies. The big blonde youth ploughed through the line of the op posing aggregation almost at will and scored a quintet of touchdowns. "Carolina 22; Clemson, 7," was the way the score read after the an nual tussle with the Clemson Tigers Thursday of fair week. The details of that memorable game have long since been given to the world. So suffice it to say here that the Game cock team played rings around the Clemson bunch, carrying the ball three-fourths of the game and keep ing the Carolina goal unthreatened by attack, save in one instance when a touchdown was scored. a'wenty-two separate and distinct knots were tied in the tail of the Tiger and only seven feathers were lost from the pinions of the Bird, while the operation was in progress. The next game was with the Uni versity of North Carolina and re suilted in a tie, 6-6. The game was played in Chapel Iill, N. C., and was one of the fiercest meets to be staged on that grid during the sea son, according to reports from the Tarheel camp. The battle with the North Carolinians is an annual af fair and the greatest interest is at tached to the game. Passailaigue and Mills were out of the game, weakening the Gamecock line-up. Just as a p)ractice affair before the Citadel game Thanksgiving clay Porter Military academy wvas met on Davis field November 16, and the Gamecocks copped, 65 to o. That the locals wvould win admitted of no doubt, and the game was staged simply to allowv the varsity to run some plays against an oppos ing eleven. The season was brought to a close by a brilliant victory over the Citadel Bulldogs in the annual Thanksgiving game, staged this y'ear on Davis field. The champion ship of the State came wvith this win, the final score of which was 26 to 2. Its details are related in another column. CAROLINA WILL JOIN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Prof. Baker Represents -Uni versity at Virginia.' Colleges and Universities of South eastern States Unite to Advance Their Interests. Prof. L. T. Baker leaves Decem ber 2 for the University of Virginia where he will represent the univer sity at a conference of certain col leges and universities of South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Virginia, looking to the forma tion of an athletic association be tween the institutions of those States. This step, which is of prime -interest to the colleges concerned, was inaugurated by the faculty committee on athletics of the Uni versity of Virginia and has as its purpose the formation of an asso ciation which will bring to its mem bers certain privileges corres)ond ing to those which are now enjoyed by the colleges of the Southern In tercollegiate Athletic association, and other like organizations. The need for such an association has long been felt by colleges which meet in athletic contests members of the Southern association. As the matter now stands outsiders must meet certain requirements before they are allowed to compete with the colleges composing the S. I. A. A. This arrangement has been found to work to the disadvantage of colleges and universities which are not included in the organiza tion, our annual football game with Clemson affording the most strik ing local example of this fact. The proposed association of institutions of the Southeast will have its own set of requirements which are in tended to equalize the benefits en joyed by its members with those privileges which colleges and uni versities of the Southern associa tion experience.
