VOL. JX. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA COLUMBIA, S. C., OCTOBER 9, 1915. No. 2 GAIEEIGKSWON FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON Newberry-Was Defeated by the Scoe: of 29 to 0. Stare Were,' Hilly and ,Cope for Carolina ;n*l Crothwell for Newberry. The University football team defeated Newberry on Davi Field last Saturday afternoon by the score of 29 to 0. The visi tors showed very poor form, and but for the disorganized condi tion of Carolina's team would doubtless have suffered a worse defeat. The spectators, though of a small number, were appre ciative and applauded several spectacular plays. During the first half, the Gamecocks continually hammer ed their opponents' line and made end runs' repeatedly for gains. The points made in this part of the game came when Hill tackled Gottchall behind the goal line after the fullback had recovered the ball on a fumble.= An the beginning of the third quarter Carolina made a touch down in three plays. Simril re ceived the ball on the kick-off and made a run back. Kerr took four then twenty-five through the line. Simril carried the ball over for a touchdown. Attempt at goal failed. Another touch down was made in this quarter. Goal kicked. Scorei Carolina, 15, Newbery 0. In the last quarters the Game cocks resorted to forward pass ing. Cope came from left tackle to quarter to take Coggeshall's place, He, together with Hill and Squiers, executed the for ward pass which was. nothing less thrilling to the onlookers. Two touchdowns and two goals were made in this quarter. The stars of the game were Hill, the University's right end; Cope, and Crotwell, the New berry captain, who proved strong as a defensive center. Carolina supporters, while pleas ed with the outcome of the game, feel that the Gamecocks will have to work hard to prepare themselves for the coming games.
