Purple Hurricane Dow
Battle. Trick F
For V
When two machines of equal
strength are matched with each
other, the only way of wiininr is
by taking advantage of soIe
break of the fray. Such was the
case Saturday, when Furmian's
Purple IIurricanle was natched
with Carolina's (11aiecock eleven.
For nearly three quarters both
teanis played football of the most
careful kind, each waiting for
soile slip-up1) or break that woul
give them the golden opportunity
of clinching the game, and the
state title. For forty minutes, the
greater part of the woric was riv
eii to the plnters and to the sa fety
men, to whon fell the work of
running back the ptints. Both
lines were seemingly impenetra
!)Ie, time aml time again forcing
the offensive team to resort to
kicking. But in the third quarter,
fhe tale was told. - With the ball
on her 45 yard litie, Furminl elect
ed to punt. The puit was fuinmb
led and wits recovered for Fiur
m1an by Biuyck. The ball rested oi
the one yard line. The stands went
into a mass of yells, entreaties, ad
vice and prayers. For two plays
the Carolina line played up to
form, holding the 11u1rricane for
ivards to a standstill. Here came
n a great piece of strategy. The
qluarter back called signls, bult
then faked a "signals off"' and in
the moment of unexpectanicy. the
ball was passed to Poteat and he
bucked the line. Leaping, s(IluirmI
ing and hurdling lie mnade the re
quired distance. Ife had made his
tory. McLeod kicked goal. Fur
man 7, Carolina 0.
Thus was the championship
ime decided. From the play as
een lp to the time of scorinlg, it.
eemed that the gane would result
in a tie. "But a fluke or break
will win the game for either side"
aid the gridiron sages. They were
righify one little break, and the
lie game w%,as decided. Biut it was
a matter of choice, to which side
Ihe lreak would fall. Who knows
iha Carolina might have been the
favored ones of, (notice the if),
lie gamiie had1( progre'ssed futrthter
w'ithout the P'urple hUrricane
scori ng?
For three yeaurs now Fiurmni
has been unbeateni by a S. C. teami.
The Gamecock went dlownl to dle
defeat for the first timte in two
years to a South C a rorinia aggre
'ation.
