The past week in South Carolina foot ball circles presented some very interest ing contests. The local color was ap plied more to the week's offerings than those of previous weeks in that therc were more inter-state oontests. Twc South Carolina teams tried odds against Georgia warrirs but were Imable, tc turn them back with defeats. Starting in order of games played and at the same time with a battle that aroused interest from one end of the state to the other the Newberry Indians keeping up the great work they have been showing this season marched to a 14 to 0 triumph over the Citadel Bull Cods. This game was played as a fea ture of the "big day'- at the Pee Dee fair in Florence. The Citadel fought back with mighty vim but with a line up shot to pieces by men on the disa bility list the Cadets could not repel the drive of the Indians. Teddy Weeks played part of the game but was taken out twice when hurt. Three other stars were not in the game at all.' However, Newberry's team, as demonstrated be fore this tilt has been shown as one of the best that has been put out there in many years and one that is ranking high in football realms in South Carolina this year. Two more games of notable importance were played on Friday. Right here at home the University of South Carolina defeated the game and fighting Blue Stockings of Presbyterians College, 29, to 0 The Johnson proteges, living up to the reputation, put up a gallant fight in the face of the odds-the mighty driving power of the Birds. The Pres byterians' offense would not shatter Carolina's line and their line sumply crumpled before Brice, Jazz and others after holding the Garnet and Black4 scoreless in the first period and to 9 to 0 score in the first half. The other big game Friday was that Sbetween Wof ford and Oglethrope.

This game was played at Augusta, before such dignitaries as Governor McLeod of South Carolina, wearing the colors of Furman, Gover nor Walker of Georgia, naturally hav ing his lapel adorned with the red and black of Georgia, Ty Cobb, and others. The Hurricane put up a better fight than it did against Mercer the previous week and held the Bull Dogs to a 2 to 0 count in the first half, the safety being regis tered in the first,minute of play. How ever, the tenacity of the Bull Dog was too much for Billy Laval's boys and the final figures read Georgia 23, Furman 0. THIS WEEK'S BILL.
