Carolina Gamecocks Pu up Usual Hard Fight, But are Defeated 33 to 7. Those who prefer the old tim tactics of line plunging in foot ball were given that privileg last Saturday afternoon whei they saw Wake Forest defeat th light Carolina eleven by the scor of 33 to 7. From start to finis the heavy Wake Forest tean used this method of attack an broke through the Carolina lini for considerable gains. The vis itors used several forward passes one of which netted a touchdown but their main strength wa shown by their impressive lin, bucking. The outstanding features of thi game were the plunges of Cap tain Parker and the 90 yard rui from kickoff by Will Harris Time after time the former full back crossed the line in a gallol and the Gamecocks found muel trouble in stopping him. He car ried the ball nearly as much a the rest of the backfield corm bined and seldomly failed t make a good gain. Harri brought the spectators to thei feet when he made a spectacula run of 90 yards for a touchdowi after receiving a kickoff. Neve before, in the history of this gen ezation of football fans, has thi feat been seen in Columbia. Altho the losers could not shov any real playing they stuck game ly to the field and fought thruou the entire contest.

VIRGINIA TEAM WON ANNUAL CONTEST i Simril Made Touchnown fcr The Gamecocks. t Carolina's Opponents Scored but Once in Second Half - Many Substitutions. Racing around Virginia's left _ end for 35 yards, after Horton had recovered a fumble. Frank Simril scored the lone touch 'town for Carolina in .Saturday's game, which was won by Virginia 35 to 6. Though outweighed, the GAMECOCKS put up a hard fight and the game was not so easily won as the score might indicate. Virginia scored four touchdowns in the first half, but could only carry the ball atross once in the second period. In the second half Coach Evans substituted fre quently and near the end of the game Virginia was practically playing her second team. The outstanding feature of the game was the playing of Thur man. The big fellow played a star game in the line and his punts ranged around seventy yards. Simril, for Carolina, ran his team well, and made several good gains around the ends. R.

BIG NIGHT DRESS ] NEWS OF DEM CAROLINA FRESHMEN LOSE TO PORTER Forward Passes Proved Sensa tional Feature of Game in Spite of Rain. By three forward passes, Allan to Hargreaves, Porter Military Academy was en ibled to defeat the Carolina Freshmen Saturday afternoon by a score of 21 to 0. Allen also kicked three goals which made the final score. The weather was not at all suitable for one to display his skill in aerial tactics. There had been a hard rain before the game, and more inclemency dur ing the contest. Consequently, the ball was wet and slippery and hard to handle. This made Allan's forward passing and Hargreaves' receiving more note worthy than if it had been an ordinary day. The Gamecocks also attempted to use the for ward pass, but with little suc cess. Porter had an exceptionally good team in both weight and experience. Their high efficiency is largely due to the services of their former coach, Dixon Fos ter, who is now coaching the Carolina Freshmen. Coach Fos ter sent his youngsters up against the very machine he had helped to make so efficient for Porter. Smith shifted from the line to the backfield and appeared at full for Carolina. He had little opportunity to carry the ball, but on the defense he proved a terror. It was his difficult task of back ing up the line, and the young man showed up well in this de partment. Of all the Carolina players, Brockinton, at tackle, did the beit work. He has worked hard on the field this season, and has shown marked ability -physical ly and mentally-and with each game he improves. lie bids fair to be a hard contender for the varsity next year. Allan and Hargreaves starred for Porter, and to them is very largely due the victory. They played well on offence and de fense alike. Allan plunged well; punted well: kicked goals after touchdowns well; threw the for ward pass well, and tackled well. Hargreaves offered a first class exhibition how an end position (f'()MTI N v ( 1 .

About mid-night Thursday, the students of Carolina, who were holding a meeting in the chapel, were notified by a man from the State office of the re-election of President Wilson. The news was received with joyous demonstra tions and an old time shirt-tail parade was suggested. The col lege bell pealed out loudly the Democratic victory. A great bon fire was lighted in the center of the campus. The dim old dormi tories were touched with a lurid red. Some of the students pulled on retiring raiment, others turned their coats inside out, some tied handkerchiefs about their heads. Such preparations for the parade were accomplished in a jiffy.Mr. Joe Sparks of the State said, "Boys,we want to wake the old town up. Are you with ug?" The cry of assent was deafen ing. The procession marched in single file to the State office,sing ing and shouting. There the boys of good old U.S.C. were joined by certain unrecognizable persons garbed in sheets and pillow-cases, who beat upon tin buckets and pans. After giving fifteen rahs for Woodrow Wilson and fifteen for Vice-President Marshall, the pa rade moved down Main Street, with Chicora College fnr Women its immediate destination. Tumul tuous shouts and uproarous songs continued to fill the night air. "We rode old Hughes on the rail" was a popular refrain. The bearers of the glad tidings swarmed thru the C. C. F. W. and encircled the buildings. The leader carried an electric torch giving off a powerful red glow, which was sufficiently illumina tive to cause the smiling faces which filled the upper windows to be visible. When the girls of Chicora had been acquainted with Wilson's triumph with an admiral thor oughness,the crowd next direct ed its steps to the Governor's Mansion. Gov. Manning welcom Ied cordially his nocturnal visitors, and thanked them for bearing the good news to him. The Carolina students surged
