Long Shots by Visitors Respon
sible for Victory. Waring
and Talley Star.
In a fast and exciting game,
Wofford captured the initial con
test of the Carolina basket ball
season Saturday dight in the Uni
versity Gymnasium by a score of
38 to 23. The game was hotly
contested thruout and the Meth
odists did not get away with as
easy a victory as the score might
indicate.
The outstanding features of the
contest were the long distance
shots made by the Methodists,!
Hines throwing a goal from the!
middle of the court. Collins
played well for Wofford and his
work is worthy of mention. For
Carolina, Talley at forward put
up a neat exhibition, and Waring,
altho in the game but a few min
utes, did creditable work.

Carolina (23). Wofford (38).
