GAMECOCF Clemson Team Routed Completely by Birds FINAL SCORE IS 33 TO 0 Men of Bocock Uncover First Of fensive Strngth of Season In Dazzling Victory Over Ancient Enemy Long after all the players of our pres ent team have finished their football ca reers and scattered to different parts of the country, their glorious feat of van quishing the proud Clemson Tiger at the 1924 state fair game by the unpreced ented score of 31 to 0 will be recalled and re-played by future supporters. It was a beautiful victory. The Pur'ple aid Gold was routed enough to please the most rabid and blood-thirsty backer of the Garnet and Black. The renowned Tiger, erstwhile sleek and trim, was pummeled with center smashes, pounded by end runs, pierced with forward passes, trampled down with placement kicks and finally buried under 33 smoth ering points--.-and held there. Carolina's play showed improvement over that of last week that surprised her admirers. On defense she held the foe absolutely in check, rarely letting them get as far as the line of scrimmage with the ball. With the driving Rogers, Wim berly, "Red' Swink, and Jaskiewicz in the backfield, the Gamecock had a pow erful offense that could not be denied. The line played even better than the backs and each man contributed his full part to the perfect unit. Four Field Goals Outstanding in the matter of point making were four field goals sent accur ately through the goal posts for Carolina three and Swink one. P. J. Boatwright, by Jazz and "Red" Swink. Jazz booted who beat Clemson this way last year, did not get a chance to use his toe on the Tiger, being held on the sidelines by injuries. These four goals may turn out to be a 1925 record, it being remembered that the Army's victory over the Navy last year was accomplished in identi cally the same way and aroused an un usual amount of comment. Carolina stars flew in rapid order across the Fair Ground firmanent, in fact, as fast as they were put into the game. Bill Rogers led the team at quar ter and, in that position for the first time, he played a game that was ac claimed perfect by the unanimous vote of the state sport writers. Jasciewicz pla)ed a powerful game at full and did not miss a single one, six placement kicks, three after touchdown. Teanwork Shines "Red" SwinA played the whole game and acp)uitted himself well. He had a busy time breaking up 'riger passes. Bob Wimberly continued with a heaping measure to the fame he is winning for himself his' first year on the varsity. His was a sterling game.. The line co ordinated 'perfectly and turned back the Triger attack before they were well started beside opening the way for their driving backs. Trhe game itself is, as r.sual, the most colorful of the year. About 13,000 peo ple were on, hand and no one was neut ral. Clemson had her prize band here while the crack Gamecock musicians rendered the University airs in no soft tones. Governor Thomas G. McLeod and his party saw .the game, on the Clemson side the first half and on Caro lina's the last. At the end of the first half the Clemson band and Dr. Sikes escorted him to midfield where he w,s received by the Carolina band and Dr. .lelton. Bird. Score in First Period Carolina's first points came at about the middle of the first period. Caro lina had made two first downs and Chandler had punted out of bounds on his own 33 yard line. Captain Long, tackle over tackle, made 12 yards and agai nyve hut Carolina was penalized 15 y'ards on the latte'. Then Wimberly made 10 and Swink seven 'placing the hall on the 19 yard line. The kick, by by Jazz, was perfect. (Cor.tinued to page seven.) OVERWHE The Gridiron Inkpol ANOTHER CLEMSON-Carolina bat tle has found its way into the pages of history--one which was dressed in gay and never-to-be-forgotten victory for a fighting Gamecock agavist the Tiger of the Oconee hills. 'Twas a great game filled with thrills for supporters of each team and a brilliant occasion spiced Avith 9pendid spirit. NO PREVIOUS BATTLE between the Gamecocks and Tigers of yester years could equal the colorful com bat of that bright October day. In the great human arena of over 12, 000 fans a Gamecock spurred deeply into the Tiger's hope and emerged the victory by the overwhelming score of 33 to 0. It was the greatest score that Carolina has ever regis tered against a Clemson team. OVER 12,000 PEOPLE proudly dis playing the colors of their team: the cheering of the students swell ing the autumn air and the rever ence with which the fans regarded the alma mater songs of the two great institutions; as they were sig all made the classic the great event it was. Never one time wac the spirit below fine. THE TWENTY-THIRD annual clas sic between Carolina acid Clemson goes down into history as the most pleasant and thrilling game ever fought. Records of many kinds were shattered. A vast throng filkd the stands, surpassing the attendance of last year by several hundred. Carolina piled up a record score over the Tigers, and outplayed them in every phase of the brawl. THE GAMECOCKS were at their best in the game against the Tigers. With sweeping plays directed by Rogers, the Birds smothered the hopes of Clemson and paraded to sucoess. Jazz, W-imUerly, Swink and in fact every Bird who had a part in the game strutted their "stuff" against the bewildered Tiger. It was truly Carolina's day in every way. ALTHOUGH THERE they met dis astrous defeat, the Clemson cadets, one thousand strong, cheered to the last. Throughout the combat the Tiger supporters cried to their team to do its best. THE CLEMSON TEAM even though beaten had its shining stars. Fewell and Finklea played the end positions well, and Roy, who until removed from the affair, played a good game at tackle. A "PH. D." TOE is the word applied to the excellent kicking of Jazz for the Birds by sport writers. In the fair classics Jazz surely did demon strate his Ph. D. toe for he heaved three field goals through the bars and added the extra point after each touchdown registered against the Tigers. "RED" SWINKS TOE answered th'e call to kick a field goal in the bat tle also. EVEN THOUGH THE next Carolina Clemson classic is almost a year off, some gossip on the campus has been devoted to the subject. Some 'say the Birds will repeat the victory ext year, but who knows? -- U.s.c. - MANY CO-ED STUDENTS GO TO ORANGEBURG When the -Gamecock met the Bulldog at Oaangehurg, more than a half of the co-edls were in the stands. They seemed to be dleterminedl to outdo the other sec tions. So, it can be said that the girls added noise as well as color to the game. LMS TIGER Stoney's Biddies To Meet Wofford Frosh AT 3 P.M. ON DAVIS FIELD Carolina Rats Have Been Highly Successful So Far, Beating North Carolina and Clem son Teams After demonstrating their superiority over a team which was out for the fresh man championship of the South and which all but sneered at them when they appeared on the field, the Biddies are hard at work getting ready to meet one of their strongest contenders in the state here tomorrow when they take on Coach Early?s Wofford frosh. The Methodist freshmen have already proven that they are four touchdowns better than New berry freshies who had already made a fine showing against Hyatt Park when they smothered them recently on Uni versity field. Coach Early is one of the state's vet eran mentors, winning his fame with high school teams. He produced many of Carolina's brightest stars in the days gone by. Carolina freshmen's big day last week in ChaVl Hill was a. muddy one, but they nevertheless slid to a 19-6 win over the North Carolina first year men. Great things were expected there of the youngsters' 190-pound line, from end to end, and of their 165-pound backfield. in fact, it. was not deemed necessary to start this wonderful team in what was whispered about to be a comparatively easy game. Tarheels Emulate Rockne So in Knute Rockne's best style the second team was run in, and in a few minutes the South Carolinians had them a touchdown. Mike Windus intercepted a lateral pass and ran about 80 yards for it. Then the Tarheel stands went wild with delight for the first team was sent in. They donned their headgears and, laughing, took their positions in the line. With a puissant drive they swept the length of the field and scored almost immediately But that was all. The Biddies tight ened down like Biddy champions of old and held the North Staters in check from then on. Guarino was responsible for the next score. When Wolfe block ed a kick, Guarino fell on the ball be hind the goal line. Magill scored the final points with a run almost the length of the field. Punt formation had been called by Carl Johnson, but he gave the s'gnal for a line play. Magill sped thru the line and, although knocked down by the safety man, regained his feet and crossed the goal line. WVolf e did the Biddie punting andl skillfully prevented several from being blocked by kicking curves. Other stars were Rogers, Keels, Fulmer, Magill, Johnson and Tolbert. Defeat Clemson Cubs The freshmen opened their season two weeks ago with a win over the Clemson rats 13 to 6 on University field. The Biddies scored first when Tolbert recov ered a Clemson fumble and carried it to the five yard line from which place it was carried over by Jones. The Clemson score was a freak. Due to a mixup of the new signal system the coaches had instituted. As the team charged, Jones folded his arms as if faking and apparently failed to see the pass from center which sailed by him. S. Davis of Clemson scooped it up and scored. For the deciding touchdown, Fulmer, center, blocked a punt and Watson fell on the halt on the five yard line. The ball was taken over in three attempts. Clemson had an excellent line and a heady quarter in McMillan. The Bid dies showed that they needed only ex perience to round them out, playing a far better game in their first contest than their opponents, the Cubs. At a meeting of the team Monday night, "Red" Fulmer was elected can ta'n of the team. He showed up excel lently in the previous contests and h-v. the ability to make a star player on th!e varsity. Left: They say that women are the salt of the earth. Lefty: Wouldift doubt it, judging form the nmber of men they've driven to drink.
