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.

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

CAROLINA AN
BIGG]
Two Leading Stat
Today is the big day in Carolina
football for the season of 1922. 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

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

lowed a Clemson man to recover the
ill and push it back out in front of
e goal line. On still another occa

>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. A fter the game had swayed back

taken up that lie was out for the rest
the first alf. Minus the services of
is hard-hitting back, the Gamecocks

tarter scored the points that won the

id run behind perfeet interference and
ivered thirty yards before he was
opped. The ball was on the twenty
