Boatwright's trusty toe has givei the margin of win or lose. The Carolina Gamecocks travelled u) to Chapel Hill for their fourth hard game in fifteen days and trounced the much vaunted Tarhiell eleven right in their own back yard by the aforementioned score.

The Tarheels scmre caime in the final minutes of the last period when a lucky break gave them the ball on the 12 yard line through a fumble and then it was all they could do to score in four downs against the Gamecock reserve line which was in the game at that stage. South Carolina earned five first downs, North Carolina earned four and got two on penalhes. Each tean was penalized 15 yds. South Carolina completed three out of five passes and one was intercept ed. The Tarheels completed only one out ()f nine with two intercepted. Boatwright extended his record of not missing a placement kick when lie booted the first score of the game throrgh in the initial quarter. Swink scored the touchdown, taking Jefford's pass. Boat wright made the extra point. Devin made all the Tarheels' points. Vpstein for the losers played an ex ceilent game, getting half o)f the tackles aind twice recovering fumbles, but could not overshdow the stellar work of Fran kie Meyer, Gamecock captain. John Dukes for the Birds, playing his first regular game at center, was the indivi dual star of the game being in every mix ip. Merritt was the Tarheels' best back. Brice.
