Vol,. X. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA. S. C.. NOVEM3ER 29 1911 CITADEL COMES FO THANKSGIVING Bull Dogs Have Strong Team and Expect to Win. Game to be at Noon - Large Crowd is Expected - First Regiment to. Attend. The Citadel, with probably the strongesr eleven of its football history, will meet the Carolina Gamecocks in their annual grid iron battle on Davis held Thanks giving day. This contestexcites much interest each year through )u the state, and a large crowd is expected. Last year's battle was won by the Citadel by the close score of 3 to 0, Johnny Weeks succeeding in making a beautiful drop kick from about the S5 yard line. The Bull Dogs are confident of victory again this year; but with the great improvement in the Carolina eleven coupled with their usual fighting spirit, they may be turned back to Charleston with a defeat. The Citadel has had a success ful season this year, having de feated every team in the state that she has played, including the strong Clemson eleven at the Orangeburg Fair. Carolina has not been doing so well. The foot ball season opened under disad vantages and Dame Fate seems to have been against her. The team, however, showed real form in the game with Mercer and Car olin.a supporters by no means concede its defeat. The regular line-up will prob ably represent the Citadel. Caro lina expects to use practically the same team which entered the field against Mercer. Tickets at half price have been offered the men of the first regi mint, who will be at Styx, and practically the entire force is ex pected to see the game. Low railroad rates have been announc .- I by all roads leading into Co lumbia, and the largest attend ance in the history of the Citadel Carolina game is predicted. Van Metre will referee, Pitts will umpire, and Pinckney will be head linesman. Prof. Patterson Wardlaw ad dressed the Jasper County Teach erA' Association November,18. Dr. G. A.

GAMECOCKS LOSE TO F FAST BAPTIST TEAM Speer of Furman Easily the C Star of the Game. Visitors Show Much "Pep" But A t Were to Light for Heavy Opponents. Carolina was beaten by Fur man last Thursday by a score of S 14 to 0, when "Speedy" Speer 4 did such excellent playing forl" Furman. The first touchdowni was made in the second quarter e by the fleet halfback as he made e a 50 yard run across the Carolina a line. . " The Gamecocks worked hard g for the game, but it seemed asn if luck were against them. Dick ai Kerr was the Carolina star. He R 3 played well on the defense and E, offense alike. Capt. McMillian ci starred in the line, and FrankIlE Simril, although he broke his s hand in the first half, played t( through the game in a most ad- n mirable fashion. b Speer received the kickoff at H the beginning of the second half B Ion his 20 yard line, fumbled it. was tackled, bounded from the ti ground and was off running close n to the side lines. A fter making P: 80 yards he had made another 1 touchdown. He kicked both al goals after making touchdowns, which brought Furman's score ir to l4. 01 Although the Baptists had U power, they showed careless and ir a disregard for rules, being pen- c< alized frequently. Their team vi was much heavier than that of 0 the Gamecocks, and this weight s) soon showed itself. Carolina's h line showed good staying quali- ti ties three times, first by taking 01 the ball away from Furmanla< within the five yard line and ti twice forcing the Baptists to try < field goals on fourth down in the W shadow of the goal posts. Caro- " lina lost the ball on the fourth p down in the first quarter less ,q than one yard from the goal tI line. p Speer was the star for Fur man. In adition to two long runs 01 he clipped off half a dozen end s( i runs for gains and also twisted (I through the line. The Game- w cocks easily stopped the rushes T of Gressette, the Furman cap- 0' tain. Carolina worked one for-.a ward pass from Simril to Horton 10 for 14 yards. Each team made a failure at their arial attempts RESS ASSOCIATION MET IN GREENVILLE i. W. C. and Furman Hosts of Scribes' Convention. ddresses Made by Able Men and Women.
