It is noteworthy that in the finals there were none but Caro ina men. Brooker and Crawford won from Erwin and Thornton, of Clemson, in the semi-finals Fri day and thus got into the finals with Waring and Cary, who had won a hard series from Spencer and Calloway of Erskine. In the semi-finals for singles Waring won from Erwin, of Clemson, and Brooker took his series from Adams of Clinton. The match between Brooker and Crawford, and Erwin and Thornton was one of the best of the entire tournament. In the first set the Caroliua men played their opponents off their feet not allowing them a single game. The second was close and for a time it seemed that the Clemson pair would win, but the universi ty men finally pulled it off 8 to 6 and thus won their way to the fi nals. Waring and Cary had some difficulty in besting the pair from Erskine but after a hard fight took the laurels and got into the finals. The first three sets in the dou ble finals were playad Friday af ternoon. Two went to Brooker and Crawford with a scora of 6 to 4.

The Team that Mopped up Last Y The annual Clemson-Carolina game is one of State wide inter est. Scores of alumni of both institutions will be present to witness the game, while thous ands of spectators, each wearing the colors of his favorite college, will fill the grandstands and bleachers, cheering madly at every play. The student contin gency of both institutions will be out to a man. Clemson will have over 800 men in the stands and Carolina will fill more than 500 seats. The Gamecocks mean to make up in pep what they lack in numbers; just what they did last year. Over in the wilds of his native lair, tha striped jungle beast is roaring a loud defiance, while in the Gamecock yard, the bird who drove his dagger-like spurs into the Tiger twenty-two times last year, is sharpening them care fully each day, and putting him self in readiness to turn the trick again. All the past week Coaches Edgerton and Dunn have been drilling their men and giving them their final instructions. Secret practice has been had each afternoon and every man has been given a fair chance to show his worth. Therefore the backers of the Garnet and Black mnv rent nanred that. when the SEASON kGED THURSDAY Tiger at Fair Grounds in he Finish. IG AND DETERMINED lard and Will be in the Pink of ig Event is Pulled Off. day for the great game comes, comes, Carolina will send a team on the field which is more than able to cope with any Tiger that Bob Williams can put into the big ring. A glance at the per sonnel of the Carolina line-up will serve to convince any skep ar. To Repeat the Dose Thursde y tic. Though no statement has been given out as yet by Dr. E' gerton as to who will play, the following men will probably be on the firing line: Center-"Mucho" Stoney will be on the job at center. Last year he played guard against. Clemson and fought like a de mon, as his Tiger opponent was forced to admit. This year he was put in to fill the breach made by the failure of Girardeau to return to College, and has played his position like a veteran. Great things are expected of him Thursday. Guard-Hampton and English are new men in the varsity sphere, but they are big fellows and have plenty of pep and fight. They fight from start to finish and will give their opponent a lively time. Hanahan will with all probability be run in before the last whistle blows. He has the art of using his hands and will give a good account of him self. Paul is showing remark able form-and will probably start the game. He is a big fellow and will give a good account of himself. Tackle- In Big Mills, Wop Brann, and Ned Wehmhan we have three of the best, hardest fighting tackles in the game. (CONTIINIIRD ON PAGE THuREE) TARHEELS VS. GAMECOCKS Clashed in Hard Battle Last Saturday BOTH TEAMS PUNT Men from the Old North State Win with 13 to 3 Score. The South Carolina Gamecocks lost a hard fought battle to the North Carolina Tarheels on Da vis Field last Saturday afternoon. The gr me was featured by much pur.ting on both sides and the use of the Minnesota shift by the visitors. The visitors had a hefty bunch and got away with snme superb interference work. ' heir !ine, averaging 185 from tackle to tackle, was.a little too strei,g for the home team, but met stubborn resistance and every inch of territory was dis puted them. In spite of the hard defensive work of Coach Edger ton's men the visitors pushed the pigskin across for two touch downs, kicking goal once. Fritz' trusty toe put a drop between the sticks in the last quarter and made the final score 13 to 3. The home team showed the right kind of fighting spirit and gave the Tarheels a hard fight. The line did good work and altho outweighed fought to the last ditch. Stoney was on the job at. center, and made not a single bad pass all the way through. Sligh and Hill produced the goods as usual at the extremities, and Brann and Wehman showed up well at tackle. Hanahan wa: seen for the first time in football, at guard. In the back field, Fritz vonKolnitz' punting was a feature. His end runs showed good form, but on account of rather poor interference, netted small results. Perry pulled ofi' some good line plunges, and Dan Heyward as usual got away with some lunar runs. He went. in the game somewhat handicapped by a game ankle and during the skirmish got his nose knocked about sixty degrees out of whack, but stayed in the scrap to the end. To say any particular man starred on either side 'would be impossible. Both teams platyed steady ball and the game wa marked by the absence of spee tacular work. The North Carolina eleven had (coNTINuillD ON PAGIE THREEl)
