GAMECOCK SAO' I OR1111 SEASON'S BIG GAME TODY University of South Carc lina VOL. xv- COLUMBIA, S. C., OCTOBER 26, 1922. NUNI TWENTIETH CAROLINA CLEMSON GAME Ancient Rivals Meet Again Today. There are many games of football played in South Carolina every year but the football event of prime impor. tance is the Carolina-Clemson classic. This game is always attended by large crowds and is the occasion for thou sands of alumni of the two institutions to come together annually. For this conflict the nerves of the two teams are keyed .up to the highest pitch. Regard less of who wins there is always a fight to the finish. The game this year will be the 20th of the series. The first game between the two institutions was played in 1896. It resulted in a victory for Carolina. Since then Clemson has won a goodly majority of the games. The count stands 14 for Clemson and 5 for Carolina. In 1915 the two teams battled to a score less tie. In 1920 and again in 1921 Carolina carried off the victory. With. in the last three years both schools have secured excellent coaches and their brand of .playing has been greatly im proved. They are rapidly forging into a prominent place among Southern insti tutions in the matter of football. A comparison of the schedules of the teams this year with the schedules of former years will reveal the great strides forward taken by the two teams. On the schedules of Carolina and Clemson this year are some of the best teams in the South. Possibly in a few more years Carolina and Clemson will occupy the positions now held by Georgia Tech and Centre. It is not improbable. W. State Footbal Games of Last Week. Six South Carolina football teams were in action during the past week, but none of them went so far as to upset any special (lope as they are so often wont to do. Nothing startling to the football world came about, and those that won stuck almost entirely to straight football. On Thursday, October 19th, the Blue Stockings of the Presbyterian college met Erskine at the Piedmont Fair in Greenwood. It is al readyd doped out that Coach Johnson's charges would de feat the Seceders; the only thing in doubt being the score. This was soon settled also when the P. C. eleven, with a powerful drive and a perfect passing (CONTINUED ON PAGE 5.) GAME( Name Position Wait, Alex, Captain....nd-T1ackle. Snipes, W. Eure..........Fullback...

Today the Carolina Gamecock clashes with the Clemson Tiger in the game that all lovers of football in South Carolina look for ward to with an interest and zest which the two teams enter the ifray. The Navy team does not want to beat the Army a bit worse than Clemson wants to grind the Garnet and Black in the dust; nor does the Army glory more in the defeat of the Navy than does the Gamecock in the downfall of his pro verbial enemy, the Tiger. The Pur ple and Gold wishes above all else this year to raise its colors to their former place of supremacy, while the Garnet and Black is determined at any cost to prevent this return of the enemy to the conquerors' position. This is no mere game of football that we are going to witness today on the field at the Fair Grounds. It is much 0 C K S A\ge Wt. Ht.

It is the battle between the < forces of the Tiger and Gamecock that ias been on for more than a score of I years, each year bringing another in- i ;tallment with just as much pep, scrap lnd ginger as the years that are gone.

GAME First Year Men Stage Good Game. The first,half of the yearly scrap be veei. the Gamecock and the Tiger end I last Saturday with , 7 to 3 victory >r the scrapping rooster, when the arolina Freshmen invaded "the land F the Tiger and romped away with well earned victory. This victory was uch more clean-cut and decided than e score would seem to indicate, the eshmen displaying an edge that should Ave warranted their winning by a argin of at least two or three touch >wns. Only eice in the third quar r, did the young Tigers have the ball far as the Biddies' 20 yard line and re they re e held for downs, and ie ball kicked out without more ado. he Clemson aggregation chalked up total of pnly four first downs and ree of them came in succession on is their one bid for a touchdown. On the other hand the Carolina team ade more than twelve first downs and all times were masters of the situa (n. They scored their 'one !touch >wn on cleancut, aggressive football, id on two other occasions brought , ball within one yard of the Clemson >al line. The first time they actually ished the ball over but Jon Dukes imbed off the pigskin when the referee ew his whistle, anad that worthy then lowed a Clemson man to recover the ill and push it back out in front of e goal line. On still another occa on the Gamecocks had a bit of hard ek when P. J. 3oatwrigt ran back a nt at the first of the third quarter >r a gain of 65 yards, placing the ill inside the enemy's twenty 'yard le. He was called back on a penalty, nwever, and thus another golden op )rtunity for a score was lost. It was a real game of football and arted with a snap fromi the very rst.

Minus the services of is hard-hitting back, the Gamecocks >uight hard and toward the end of that tarter scored the points that won the 1me. Boatwright broke loose on an id run behind perfeet interference and ivered thirty yards before he was opped. The ball was on the twenty trd line.
