.4 VOL. XIV. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., NOVEMBER 11, 1920. CAROL] CAROLINA TAKES GAME FROM CAMP JACKSON Army Team Unable to Stop Rushe8 of Carolina's Var sity-Scrubs in Game. Practically every member of the Carolina squad got into an exhibition game last Thursday afternoon with Camp Jackson. The contest was scheduled to be one between the army team and the scrubs, but the varsity played the first and last quar ters. The score was 21 to 0, Sanders, Brockinton and Allen running over a touchdown apiece, and Gressette kicking three goals, one after each counter. The varsity experienced lit tle trouble in crossing the army's goal line and in making long gains, but the scrubs, who were sent in for the second and third quarters, were not able to make much headway, altho, a forward pass near the end of the third quarter nearly iesult ed in a counter. The varsity went back in in the fourth quar ter and scored its third touch down, having already made two counters in the first period. The camp team put up a fair fight, but was -unable to cope with Metzger's seasoned vet erans. The former showed lack of training and good coaching. They were not able to make any mentionable headway at all against either of Carolina's teams. The first touchdown occurred just six minutes after the whis tle had blown to start the game, Saunders,. running thru the line for fifteen yards and crossing the line. The second was run over by Brockinton, who, caught a pass from Gres sette. Allen took it across for the last counter in the fourth quarter. The Gamecocks were driving again for the goal line when the final whistle blew. Gressette and Allen played well for Carolina, with Wilks, Wolfe, and Bowman, espe cially the last named player, doing good work for the army. The original lineups were: .Darolina (21) Camp Jackson (0) Blrockinton ...LE..........Tucker Waite .........LT...........Little Thomas .......LO............Hebb Wheeler ...................Parks McMillan ......R..............

Rion Mc Kissick Forward Congrat ulations to Carolina. The following letters have been received by Dr. Currell and A. J. Beck and will explain themselves. Bob Williams was head coach at Carolina when she beat Clemson in 1902. He was afterwards in the same po sition at Clemson: President W. S. Currell, Uni versity of South Carolina, Columbia, S. C. Dear Dr. Currell: Thru you I wish to congratulate my fel low Carolina men now in the University upon their admira bly sportsmanlike conduct dur ing the Carolina-Clemson game and the remainder of that day and night. I was at Carolina when the bitterness between the two colleges came very near resulting in bloodshed in 1902, and, after the pilfering of the Gamecock on the field last week, I feared a similar situation might develop. The action of the Carolina students in giving a hearty cheer for Clemson right after that inci dent was not only the proper course for good sports and gen tlemen, but also, I feel sure, led to the obliteration of bad feel ing on both sides. If a breach had followed, both institutions would have suffered for it. It is pleasing to feel that in high conduct the Carolina students of this time fully measure up to those who have gone out before them. I am proud of them: Yours sincerely, J. Rion McKissick. Mr. A. J. Beck, Mgr., Univ. S. C. Football Team, Colum bia, S. C. Dear Mr. Beck: No doubt you have already arranged for the officials for your game with Davidson on Saturday. I re gret that it was not possible for me to have accepted this en gagement. You will please congratulate temembers of your team and Coach Metzger on your victory over Clemson. I was very fa vorably impressed with the playing of your team in the, game against the University of North Carolina, and your vic tory over Clemson was n.ot a very great surprise. It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to act as an official in a game with a team which displayed such fine sportsman ship and so much courtesy to ETS NA DR. H. B. BRANCH SPEAKS TO WEEKLY Y MEETING Head of Howe Industrial School Makes Short Talk-Miss Wynne Favors. The usual weekly Y. M. C. A. service held in chapel on last Wednesday night was partic ularly interesting, and all pres ent enjoyed a very short, but very forceful talk by Mr. J. B. Branch, who is now at the head of the Howe Industrial School, located in McCormick County for needy children of this State. Mr. Branch's subject was rather a unique one, "Desira bility of Defeat," but proved to be a very timely sourse of dis course. The speaker empha sized the fact that much oppor tunity lay in defeat, which of ten determines a man's career as that of success rather than failure. Not until a man is "up against" it will he call on his reserves and put up all there is in him. The present defeat of the Democrats in national poli tics can and will serve as a stimulus to the South. Much the same applies to college stu dents who, in their course some times meet with defeat that turns their efforts into chan nels yielding much greater suc cess than those formerly al lowed. It is not the man who is defeated that is finished, but rather the man who stays de feated. Those who make the greatest success are those who, by their determination, are able to turn defeat into vie tory. Miss Eva Wynne, of Colum bia College, delighted the audi ence with two selections, which were very much appreciated by every one. The weekly Y. M. C. A. services are growing more popular each week, and much enthusiasm is shown by all interested in their great pur pose. wards the officials. Your team has my very best wishes for much success. You will please remember me to Coach Metzger, and with personal regards, I am, Very truly yours, Bob Williams. Jas. W. Wilison, '02, is cashier of the Bank of Spartanburg, Spartanburg, S. C. Harry H.

VY SAT PARADE STOPPED BY COLLEGE BOYS North Carolina Republicans Targets for Eggs Thrown by Varsity Students. Durham, N. C., Nov. 4.-Sev eral hundred University of N. C. students tonight broke up a victory parade being staged in Chapel Hill by Republicans of Carrboro, almost precipitating a riot. The parade, which started in Carrboro, a town located one mile west of the university, en tered Chapel Hill with a brass band playing and several hun dred Republicans, yelling, "Harding, Harding, Harding." The paraders rode horseback and in automobiles. University students, hearing the band, assembled and yelled "Cox, Cox, Cox," and as the pa rade passed the students hurled eggs at the paraders, many of hem finding targets. Warm words followed and the students crowded around the machines in a threatening attitude. Mayor W. S. Roberson brought hostilities to an abrupt end. He requested the Carr boro men to return home with out repeating the noise made up on entrance into the town. They acquiesced. PRAISE FOR CAROLINA. Louis Crayton, who acted as head linesman at the Carolna Clemson game and has officiated at three other university games, in a personal letter to Dr. Reed Smith, university athletic man ager, compliments the Game cocks on their victory and also upon the "cleanness and fair ness of the game." "I want to congratulate you on your vic tory of yesterday," Mr. Cray ton writes from Charlotte the day after the battle "and I should also like to compliment you on the cleanness and fair ness of the game. This is the third game I have officiated when your team was playing, and I have never seen an inci dent that would reflect discredit on you tem. Mr. Crayton served as umpire both at the Georgia-Carolina battle in Columbia and i'n the North Carolina game at Chapel Hill. E. M. Bemmis, former Pen nsylvania star and captain and Georgetown university coach, who acted as referee for the fair week battle, complimented the Gamecocks and the Tigers and their clean play, as did Walter Johnson, Presbyterian college coach and umpire for the gme. URDAY GAMECOCKS LOSE TO DAVIDSON WILDCATS North Carolina Presbyterians Cross Carolina's Goal Line Four Times. The Davidson Wildcats sprung a surprise last Saturday afternoon when they defeated the Gamecocks by the score of 27 to 0, on the former's home ground. It was expected that the game would be a close one with either as the winner so , the final score upset all ad vance dope. The North Caro- " lina team won the game be cause it played the better ball,. and, it deserved the victor-y. Carolina made a number of first downs, but she was unable to get across the 'Cats' goal line. Fumbles, when she was making good progress down the field, also worked for Caro lina's loss of the game. Caro lina worked one pass for 30 yards, Gressette to Brockinton, and several short passes. Da vidson completed passes that accounted for two of her touch; downs, besides a number of others. McFadden was the man behind these passes. The first half ended with the score 7 to 0 in favor of David son. The Gamecocks let up in the second half, however, and the Wildcats shoved over three counters. Near the end of the game Carolina's defense stif fened and broke up several Davidson passes. Both Caro lina and Davidson made a num ber of substitutions, most all of these coming in the second half. Gressette was out of the game for a few minutes on ac count of an injury, but went back in in the second half and played the remainder of the game. Allen, Waite, Hampton, and Brockinton played good ball for Carolina. Captain Ham mett, at tackle, Cassell and Mc Fadden played a remarkably good game for Davidson. The first touchdown of the game came in the first six min utes of play, when Douglass caught a forward pass thrown by McFadden and ran 50 yards for a touchdown. .The next score came in the third quarter when Douglass again counted on a forward pass from Mc Fadden, the gain this time be ing for seven yards. He caught it over the goal line. The third touchdown also came in the third quarter. It was made by Shepherd, who carried the ball over on a six-yard run. The (continue .t ) e 4)
