CAROLINA I Ea EOW, MRP TO WAGE FERCE BAT Galloway Has a Team of Fighting Huskies CAMPBELL WEIGHS 1n LBS. (By Fred. Minshall) Tomorrow afternoon Bob Galloway, South Carolina's youngest football coach will lead his Erskine Seceders into the Gamecock camp for the first contest of the year of both elevens, and, incidental ly, he will try to return to his Due West fireside bearing aloft the proverbial fat back. From whisperings escaping the con servative little town, it is apparent that the people are confident of a team much better than was put out last season. The coach has installed a huddle system of attack which is said to make, beside other things, tha calling of signals eas ier. The most painful loss of all to the Due Westerners is McDonald, tackle of last year's team, who was prominently mentioned for several All-State teams. This is not causing Bob to weep very copiously, however, for he has several young Ipchydermata on deck for line positions, among whom are Captain Campbell, 196 pounds, and "Big" Wil liams, 186 pounds. For the offense there is Pratt, who was seen on Davis Field last year. He punts, runs and passes beautifully and snags a peach of a pass. His running mate at half is Jones of the last yar's Frosh team. Bonner and White are back to fill the end positions and Burgess and Keaton are again in the backfield. With these strong facts looking them in the eye it is certainly that the old Bird will not take Galloway's team light ly. The Gamecock has had little hard practice so far due to the lofty tempera ture, and is confident they will have to extend themselves to overcome Erskine and its strengthened eleven. - U.S.c. - GILBERT ROWE CALLS OUT CINDER ARTISTS First Meeting Is Set for Three O'clock Monday Afternoon Cross-country candidates will get an early start when they meet at the gym Monday afternoon at 3:30.

ERSKINE COMES to meet the Game cocks on University Field. The hour is 4 o'clock. Be on time and bring an inexhaustible supply of pep. THE BIRDS are in the 'proverbial pink' and are anxiously awaiting the hpur of the initial brawl of the 1925 sea son. COACH BOCOCK'S men by virtue of hard training this week have reached good form, the polishing effect of the training season having been put on. THE EXTREMELY warm weather has been trying on the Bird machine, but the 'players have withstood the heat fine, being in the best of physical conditiom. LITTLE INFORMATION concerning the strength of the Erskine Seceders has reached the campus, but Coach Galloway is sure to have a team im bued with real fighting spirit. WHILE THE Carolina supporters are cheering at the Erskine-Carolina game Saturday afternoon, Clemson will be waging war with P. C. Ad vance dope says Clemson and P. C. fans are assured a real battle. SECRET PRACTICES were held this week by the Birds, including scrim mages. The Frosh material furnish ed oppositiop to varsity men on Tuesday. The "Rats" crossed the varsity goal line twice. THE PRACTICE THURSDAY and this afternoon served to place the varsity in strong shape for the mor row's game. Dope favors the locals, but who knows if the dope is true? OLD MEN on the campus say it has been many a year since Carolina has had such a bright future for its Frosh team. THINK OF IT fellows, almost a hun dred candidates report daily for Freshman football practice. THE BIDDIES tried their hand at scrimmaging Wednesday afternoon, and demonstrated real Carolina fight ing spirit. FRESHMEN, if you haven't learned those yells yet, tonight is a. fine time to do so. Remember your support to the team is important. THE DOPESTERS have already begun filling up the dope bucket. One gen tlemahm has it that Clemsot tWill emerge victor over P. C. by the nar rowv margin of three points. Freshmen for places on the team is strong, and judging from Wednes day's scrimmage the coaches will have no easy task in selecting the first team. OTHER DOPESTrERS have gone far ther than the opening games, some statinig that the state championship will be decided by Furman and the Citadel Bulldogs. BOTH THE CITADEL and Furman are reported to have strong elevens this year. But don't you think it's a bit too early to state that they will fight for the state rag?

The line will be big and husky, he said, and we are now trying to work out a smoooth back field. The position in doubt the most is that of quarterback, several men be ing prepared for the place.

Jack Wright, fiery quarter and stinctive grabber of the forward pa is showing up well and should ha many chances for showing his tale this year. P. J. Boatwright is ag shuffling those elusive feet, the stea Rogers has returned, the driving F' nell, the dynamic and prodigius J and the graceful punter, Jeffords.
