SIDE-LIGHTS 0 Wofford Holds Birds To Single Touchdown (Continued From Page One) at touchdowns by allowing passes to fall dead. The Gamecocks, having the ball well into ailen grounds almost through the contest, made several beautiful thrusts at touchdowns but lost the ground gained by failure of passes. Wofford also showed that they were almost willing to die for victory at +*.ese times, too, rising up to check the Garnet and Black line plays with all .heir might and main. Caro lina made three thrusts at touchdowns. Backs Crippled Carolina (ntered the game at first with altered backfield. Boatwright was hela out by injuries, while Wimberly was kept on the sidelines until the last few minutes of play on account of re cent illness. Jazz has a hurt ankle b-t was soon injected into the game anyway. For the Birds the work of Price stood out. The little fellow spilled well-directed Terriers plays behind the line of scrimmage time after time. He got into the game as a substitute for Boyd early in the encounter. Pruitt also showed up well in going down un der punts, and to him is due mainly the victory. The ponderous Jasciewicz starred with his driving off-tackle plays. Red Swink was effective with the ball uider his arm as were also Wimberly and Rogers. For Wofford, the whole team caused joy in their cheering section and amazement from the 9nectators. Reams played the best defensive ball of all and drew heavy applause from the stands as he was assisted to the bench by team mates,, entirely fagged out. Colorful Affair The game as the grandstand saw it had all the earmarks of a classic. The stands were full and ablaze with Garnet and Gold and Black ribbons. Two strong bands contested among themselves for the noise-making honors and sev eral hundred lusty voices yelled them selves hoarse in cheering their teams. The contest was one of the most color ful, Columbia will see this year and the ones who missed it will regreat their mistake. It will just about make the Wofford-Carolina games of the future anual events to look forward to. Boyd kicked off intentionally for about 10 yards and Carolina recovered. Failing to make first down, Wof ford took the ball on a punt at the 10 yard line and gets two first downs on two whirlwind a*taks. CarolipA stiffened however and after an exchange of punts made their touchdown. Red Swink missed the placement after to:chdown. Wof ford received behind the goal posts and punted after being unsuccess ful at bucking the line. Thr'ee Carolinai first downs followved in this quarter, all made by Jack Wright. In the secondi quarter Rogers passed successfully to Burke twice for a total gain of 18 yards The third saw more marching toward the Terrier goal, only to have Caro lina passes fall (lead behind the goal posts. At the beginning of the fourth, Wof ford got to midfield for the first time and had a faraway glimpse of Caro lina's goal posts upon thc distant hori zon. Their adlvantage was soon lost however when Swink grabbed a pass and pierced deep into Gold and Black property. He was aided by good in terference and contributed some pret ty stepping also. One of his interfer ers cut downs three would-be tacklers at once. Wimberly Get, in Wimberly entered the game and the stands shouted, but he was given little interference and had small chance to get loose. Carolina made 11 first downs and Wofford six. None of the Carolina passes were intercepted and none were attempted by Wofford until the last period. Ptsting was handled well by Wright for Wofford and Wingfield and Wimberly for Carolina. An innovation in cheering was made when Jipuny Baldwin, head cheer lead. er led a couple a hundred freshmen into a special freshman cheering sec tion and put them through some pep pery cheers for Caron. N CAROLINA-W MAKES VICTORY POSSIBLE "Jay Bee" Pruitt, veteran guard, shone brightly this afternoon, making possible Carolina's touchdown by fall ing on a blocked punt. The Ander son boy was also responsible for' the Gamecock victory over N. C. State last week in the same way. Watch him go. Orchestra Broadcasts From Atlanta Station (Continued From Page One) The eleven week's engagement at Hendersonville this summer, came to a close just over a month before the or chestra marked the first year of its or ganization.

Si blasted the t1pes of the Gold and Black when he ' blocked Wofford's punt. Seems to be getting back into his stride in that department of the game. Cultivate good habits, and fame is certain. J. B. Pruitt has the knack of surrounding the opposition's fumbles and blocked punts. His recovery brought woe to N. C. State last week and now the Terriers. Another star became visible in the South Carolina football firmament when Wingfield played his first full game. When he was replaced by Wim berly in the last few minutes, he had earned the lasting praise of the Gar net and Black. Good punting, return ing the enemy's kick for considerable yardage as well as running cleverly wer al in his day's work. Six to nothing sounds close, but the "dope" shows Carolina made 11 first downs, gaining only one by the penalty route. The Methodists earner four of the first-and-ten variety and received two gratis. During the whole game the precious pigskin was in Carolina territory ior only two short intervals. And the Game cock had it in possession in each instance. In the midst of all the bouquets a few question might be sincere. A six-point margin is none too healthy, but the Birds consistently refused to try for a 'pjace ment or drop-kick to add a margin of safety. The single attempt failed, but it came at the (id of the game. Nope. we don't understand. More than once everyone's heart jumped into his throat and nearly came out Burke clasped a pass from Rogers that seemed destined to nestle next to a Wof ford jersey. We don't mean that Rogers wasn't shooting them "pretty" for the Columbia boy zipped them like so many baseball.;. Wofford made her last bid via the overhead route. But in spite of some good passes she lost out on interceptions. Buster Holcombe showed some de mmv speed in his first varsity game. Twice he rshed in and knocked the ball down as it left tl,e Wofford quarter's hand. Injuries have kept Buster out of the early games but if he stays off the sick list, there will be some fine playing exhibited around his end. Nobody can doubt the scrapping ability of the lads from Wofford. They have a flashy backfield that meanis trouble for anybody. "Never-say-die" may be bold stuf f but the golden jerseys showved their metal pure gold when they stopped the Gamecock salients. "Frog" Reames, for the visitors wvas the shining light on the defense. This lad played the game at a sixty-mile-an hour cli. till lie was taken out in the last minutes. "Monkey" Price came through with flying colors when lhe replaced Bill Boyd. They say he's built so near the growmd that the line cani step over him, but we have yet to see the mani with the ball do it. Great stuff, Price. Carolina's line showed class as it smothered the opposing forw~ards time after time. "One Lung" Long led his men ito) the fray with fine spirit. Now that we have annexed a Trer. rier"s hide, we prepare to capture the skins of the Clemson Tiger and Citadel Bulldog. It wvill be a hard road against these teams. Coaches will keep the whole squad hoping to prepare for South Caro lina's classic Thursday. A taste of v'ictory' is sweet, so sweet that every one has to keep his head up to hold the cup.
