CAROLINA Two Quarters May Not Play In Next Game Wright and Boatwright Hurt in Tarheel Gamre-ny Injuries Reported WOLF PACK IS VERSATILE Good Contest Is Forecasted as Oppo. nents Will Try to Test Strength of Team This afternoon the Gamecock tribe boarded a Seaboard train for Raleigh where they will take on their second conference eleven, North Carolina State, on Riddick field tomorrow. The brood is feeling fine and dandy and fit for, almost any opponent after go ing through three hard scrimmages the first part of the week and a snap py drill on Thursday. The conflict last Saturday with the Tarheels hurt the team more than was believed at the time, rendering both Jack Wright and P. J. Boatwright, first string quarters, unable to start against the Wolfpack. Buster Hol combe is still nursing his injured shoul der and though his hand has healed, may not be put in the opening lineup. Many of the Carolina students, ex pecting -a good game, are trying to se cure passage through the country or by the railroad to the North State capi tal. Reports from Raleigh also tell that a brilliant battle is expected there. The only reports that were obtainable yesterday from the hostile camp inti mated that the coaches there are work ing on the Wolfpack's tackling which has been not so deadly in the two former games. The writer makes the folowing. comment: "The Techmen are paying smart football and Gus Tebell has placed at the disposal of his quarterback a high ly versatile attack. The Tech defense good enough to stop Richmond and Duke, will find much keener opposition Saturday as the Gamecocks are fully capable of launching a crushing attack of their own." Besides serving as a means for de termining the strength of the Staters for them to see how they will stack up against the Tarheels, the game will be wanted by them also because it is their first conference contest. It will undoubtedly mean much to their stand ing among the 20 other conference elevens. Carolina has been working beitind closed doors this week and what has come about in the playing of the team is not known. State will probably find that the Gamecocks have been. point Ing toward then when they get a peep tomorrow, however. Tlhe routine work of punting, blocking, tackling, passing and running the ball has been contin uedl and the freshmen were scrimmag edl Monday, Tuseday and Wednesday. - u.s.c. - BIDDIES PROGRESSING AS FIRST GAME NEARS MEET CUBS NEXT WEEK Many Good and Strong Candi-, dates Reported as Working for Each Position on the Eleven Coach BeLrnett Stoney, instructor of the frosh eleven, will enter upon the final week of training next Monday for the first opponent, Clemson, here Saturday week. His squad has b)een put through a rugged period of drill for the last three weeks and have come through it without mishap. The men are spirited and are showing agreeable signs of teamwork in their practices against the varsity in the last couple ot weeks, playing them even at most times. The team as it looks now will be heavy and fairly fast. Several driving backs are showing up well and are looking to a good season. Trouble has been experienced in developing a quar terback, but several likely prospects are out for the job. The Clemson rats won glory here for the sensational mani ner in which he ran back punts, and his TO MEET] The Gridiron Inkpot THAT'S THE old fight Gamecocks! You waded right into the fray last Saturday against the Tarheels. It was a furious battle and a hard game to lose, but a 'break' is a break in any football game. THE TARHEELS had it' on us in avoirdupois, but it was seldom they made any big gains through the Garnet and Black line. AGAIN THE TRADITION of close scores between the two Carolinas stands intact. The score of 7 to 0 showed that both elevens had been carefully trained for the contest. FORWARD PASSES played an im portant part in the 'Tar and Fea ther' game, the Birds executing many for substantial gains. THE AERIAL ATTACK of the Game cocks was strong, and greatly dis tressing to the North Staters, for on more than one occasion was the Tarheel goal endangered. THE WHOLE Gamecock team gave its all in the battle, playing at all times with the true Garnet and Black spirit. Fifteen rahs for the whole team. NORTH CAROLINA escaped the old Birds' spurs of defeat by blocking a punt, but we still have an oppor tunity to win from a North Car olina team, for the Garnet and Black meets N. C. State at Raleigh tomorrow afternoon. COACH BOCOCK and his host of gridiron players departed for the Capital city of North Carolina this afternoon. Every member of the varsity squad appeared to be in good form for the game. WHILE THE Gamecocks are defend ing the tame of the University of South Carolina tomorrow in Ra leigh, the students on the campus will be pulling hard for victory, and awaiting the results of the game with, intense interest. GOOD LUCK to you Gamecocks, may you fly back to our roost with vic tory. MOST ALL OF THE STUDENTS. on the campus have found thel spirit of cheering, but let's m;ake it hundred per cent. The cheer ing at the game Saturday was good but there is room for improvement. said to be a large aggregation, wvill give the freshmen a real fight in their first scrap as Biddies. Several of the mien have been show ing up particularly wvell up to the pres ent time. Alt hough they are being hard pressedl by other aspiring Biddies who may at any time rise and take their places, the ones who will start the first game will prob)ably be taken from their ranks.

STATE Tarheels Win Close Gameby Blocked Punt Gamecock' Mishap in the First Quarter Allows Rivals to Win-7-0 LACK TOUCHDOWN PUNCH South Carolina Outplays N. C.-But Cannot Overtake Loss Occa sioned by Break Bill Jeffords, who is remembered in North Carolina for having punted South Carolina out of danger of a touchdown two years ago with a kick which sent the pigskin rolling 90 yards down the field, found himself overwhelmed with Tarheels last Saturday as he was about to repeat the act with the result that his punt was blocked and, rolling behind the goal line, was pounced upon by one of the invarers for a 7 to 0 victory. S. C., doped by sports writers of North Carolina to win,.carried the fight to their giant opponents and outplayed them throughout the game making three times as many first downs, but in their handling of punts they were weak- - and thereby hung the game. Coach Bo cock used a numher of ends in an effort to ascertain the strongest combination for the wing positions. With Holcombe injured and Swink just recoverit from an illness, this part of the line was a problem. Boyd Plays Well The Gamecock teamwork began to as sert itself in its first conference setto, and promises a deal of imgrovement as the season wears on. In the line work, the playing of Bill Boyd stood out above that of any player of either team. The Greenwood pivot man strode through the Tarheel forwards from his position in the line and spilled his man time after time. - Seideman contributed some clev er work at one tackle and the fightin' Charlestonian Captain, Long, stood out brilliantly on the other side of the line. The ends, who saw sporadic periods of service throughout the contest, shone in various ways. Burke started his first varsity game and hung up a creditable record. He is dangerous to any team as a receiver of forward passes. Joe illard started on the other wing pos ition and Ipresented the Tarheel backs with several smashing tackles. Marioi Swink has recently been ill and was hin dered by this to some extent, but he had enough of his power to spill several well Jianined Blue and White plays, Jim my Russomano, after practicing the firt part of the season with the backfield, al so was p)laced on an endl. He has plenty 4f speed and,is a clean,, powerful tackler. it is problematical which of the candi elates wvill get the first call at the game in Raleigh tomorrow. Backfield Drives Th'le South Carolina backfield exhii b)itedl a wvealth of dIrive and, although too light to do their best against Fet zer 's hipopotamic line, pleased their supporters greatly in the more openi plays. Jack Wright, spirited quarter, proved his ability as a general under lire and showedl that he could carry and receive the inflated oval with the best of them. Bob Winmberly clipped of f a couple of first downs immediately after het was sent into the game, and Peter Boatwright, who beat the team last year, made some sensational plays. North Carolina brought a huge line and a swift backfiek(l to Columbia, and the two wvere an excellent combination. Trhe linemen were not overweight and beefy but wvere of the fast and brawny variety. They outweighed the Game cock forwards about 20 pounds to the man. Their best linemen were Captain Mclver at center and Braswell and Dod derer at ends. The wingmen were speedy, big andl overpowering -.always down on punts. Bonner- Runs Well In the backfield was evidence, as one spectator put it, that the team was from the Trurpenitine state. "Rabbit" Bonner (Continued to pae seven) "I think I'll bring my car up here with me next fall". "But you haven't a car". "Oh, shut up, you ass. You might let me think.
