TWO TIGE CAROLINA WIT CLEMSON A Biggest Contest of Year Will Be gin at Noon Next Thursday ALL CLEMSON TO BE HERE Two Special Trains Will, Bring the Student Body and Band for Three Day Encampment Within the next week the Gamcco-k will have undergone his crucial test of the year. an infallible one by which is judged the success of all Carolina foot ball teams, the state fair classic conflict with Clemson. If the Gamecock won no other game save this one, the majority of his suporters would declare that lie had had a good year, so brilliant and far-reaching the influrence of the state's greatest football game. Year after year it has drawn together the largest number of spectators of any of the Palmetto contests. From the early-season dope it seems that Carolina stands in a good way to repeat her win of last year and increase her number of wins since the Metzger regime to four out of six games, but everyone realizes the tricky stunts foot ball dope does, and the Gamecock, no exception, is looking to a hard time sub duing the Tiger of the Hills. Clemson lost almost all of her last year's team, said by some to be her greatest of hist ory, by gradation, while Carolin is gen erally reputed to be stronger than ever. The Garnet and Black was superior in the last meeting, 3 - 0 . The contest will be fought under somewhat different circumstances this year. Now, the Tiger has his back to the wall fighting to regain his place among the teams of the state after a severe setback in his first game of the year with Presbyterian college due to a series of tough breaks which resulted in a three touchdown defeat, although the Clemson team made 18 first downs to P. C.'s none. Last year the same beast was arrogant and fighting from a lofty perch, placed there by sport fol lowers all over the state who conceded him superiority over the rest of the Pal metto elevens so far as football was concerned. He did not show the fight he will undoubtedly exhibit this fall. This year the entire student body of the Agricultural Institution will be on hand to lend their lusty voices, well trained by hailing many a barnyard ani mal, in earnest support of their team. The students will amount to something above the 1,000 mark and will encamp on the fair grounds during the time from Wednesday until Saturday. Coming in two special trains, they will bring a large brass band to vie with Olsen's choicest tooters in furnishing stirring music for the occasion. Carolina's practice wvas pointed mainly at the Tigerrs skin at the beginnig of last week, although what comes abou; on the field is held back by the coaching staff as utmost secret. Work has been going on min:s the service of"Son" Fannell, who played in the game last year. He broke his ankle in the con test with N. C. State andl will be out for several weeks. P. J. Boatwright and Jazz wvere also slightly liurt, but will be fit and trim for the Trhursda1y game. All in all, the game will be one of the most brilliant of the always-spectacular meetings between ~the Gamecock-, wear ing the Garnet and Black of Carolina, and the 'Tiger, wearing the Purple and Gold of Clemson.

Little is known of the Clemson team but that they are a husky bunch. The University of Georgia Pups defeated them decisively last Saturday; but the Cracker school is boasted one of its best of a long string of good rat teams this year.

State Is Given Beating By Gamecocks For Second Consecutive Year Carolina Proves Superior to Wolves of Tech RED SWINK IS SENSATION Wind Hinders University's Passing And Forces Defensive Type of Playing Wind and dust had more to do with keeping down Carolina's power on of fense than Wolves, in the Gamecock's football contest with N. C. State last Saturday in which the Garnet and Black was victorious, 7 to 6. It was the second straight win from the North Carolina school. In the first half of the game the South Carolinians took the ball from State on the opponents 26 yard line and on one continued drive the ball was pushed over, three first downs being made in the effort. From then on, the victors played defensive ball entirely taking no chances of the wild winds playing them a mean trick, and tried no forward passes, one of their strongest points of attack. Stat. Score at Close With about two minutes to play, N. C. State completed a long pass of 48 yards, McDowell to Austin, which gave them the ball on the. one yard line and allowed them to make a touchdown. Thomas failed to kick goal. After this alien touchdown, Emmett Wingfield, Carolina quarter, received the kickoff and returned it 60 yards. "Red" Swink, versatile plunger and clever runner, was the Carolina star of the game. It was he, who kicked the winning point after the Carolina touch down, and also he who intercepted a forward pass and raced 50 yards before he was downed. In the first half of the game the Tech men were thoroughly outplayed, but in the second, with Carolina hold ing back and taking no chances, they advanced to a lead in first downs main (Continued to pae seven) CAROLINA DRY CLEANING CO. 1608 Barnwell Street - Columbia, S.
