Known in Richmond Where He Coache Gansecock's 0 Carolina's varsity football team left Columbia this morning for Richmond where they will play the fast and heavy V. P. I. team tomorrow. They have had light practice since Wednesday when they defeated the powerful Citadel team and after a brisk workotut are ready to tackle the strongest of foes. Coach Bocock is well known in Rich mond and especially at V. P. I. where he coached for five years about 15 years ago. At that time the cadets were proud . him and he will get pleasing recog ,nitions from his old acquaintances when he returns there. At the beginning of the season the V. P. I. team was expected to be one of the greatest in the South. The coach had big, fast and experienced men to work with. The team averages about 178 'p,ounds. But the performances of the team has not measured up to expec tations. Especially in the matter of of fensive work the team has been weak and disappointing. The heavy eleven lost tq Washing ton and Lee and to Auburn, but last week beat the University of Maryland by staging a comeback. Potentially, V. P. I. has a great and powerful team which has thus far not shown its greatest and strongest game of the year against South Carolina and perhaps is will not itself until later in the season, or possibly not at all. One thing is certain, the Gamecocks are pitted against a team which is cap able of coming through with great things and should the Virginians reach their best form and the Birds beat them, the greatest of credit is due both. - U.S.C. - Clemson Team Routed Completely By Birds (Continued to page six.)

Kin 1523 Maji RAGRAPHS BURG GAME KING) Defeat came as a surprise to the North Carolina team, #ccording to in formation. The Tarheel coach started his second team against the Biddies, but after Carolina had drawn first blood, the Freshmen varsity squad was ordered to get in the fight. But the Biddies were out for victory and counted two touch downs against' the first eleven. It goes without saying that there was not a single Carolina or Citadel student who did not appreciate the kind and generous hosUitality of the citizens of the Edisto city. Fifteen loud rahs for every one of them. The Biddies' victory over the Frosh eleven of the University of North Ca rolina last Saturday illustrated the strength of Coach Stoney's outfit, and it is safe to say tha. the Wof ford Pups will have to give some fight to win. The contest between the Birds and Bulldog began with a rush and soon the latter had crossed the Carolina goal. But Carolina kept faith with the Game cock spirit and fought back desperately. lefore the half had ended Bill Rogers had directed his team to the threshold of the Citadel's goal. Rogers then calledI on Jazz to deliver a field goal. Jazz obeyed. Carolina came into its own with the second half and victory was not to he denied the Gamecocks. The spirit and fight that lived with the Birds in the game with Clemson returned, and the Citadel cro.mpled before a brilliant at tack. In the last half of the struggle Carolina counted 27 points. Teddy Weeks, all state quarterback of last year, and the noted field general of the Bulldogs found in Bill Rogers, Ca rolina quarter, a worthy opponent in strategy. Rogers led the Birds like a veteran and kept the Bulldogs be wildered. The whole Carolina team played a great game, a total of fifteen first downs being made to a third as many for the Citadel. By Carolina's victories over Clemson and Citadel, the interest in the Carolina Furman game surges to a greater height. Manly field will scarcely be large enough to care for the great crowd which will witness this affair on November 14.
