GRID SEM CENTRE IS CE ATTRACTI( Long, M. Swink, Jeffords, Pruitt, Mills, Wright and Gunter Play Last Varsity Game BIRDS PRIMED FOR FRAY Colonels Have Strong Aggrega tion-Hard Struggle Ex pected-Band To Be Out Caroina plays the last game of the Gamecock season here tomorrow and has for an opponent the famous Centre Col lege "Praying Colonels." The Birds have had an in and out season, but in it they have been successful. They are determined that tomorrow they will dem onstrate, if they can, the best football they -have played this year. Many of the Carolina players will wind up their career with this important contest. Captain Long has played his three years with the Gamecocks at tackle, Marion Swink will be seen here for the last time as a varsity end. Jeffords and Wright will appear for the last time in the backfield. Mills and Gunter, guards, have played three years, and Pruitt will graduate in the law school this spring. Plays Last Game Centre, also, will have several playing their last game, whose loss will be keen ly felt, although the Colonels will draw new and strong blood from a star fresh man team this year. Captain Skidmore, two times mentioned for all-Southern tackle, will make his final bow to the college football world, as will Raben stein, three times named as all-Southern halfback and once chosen as all-Amer ican by some critics. Besides being the last game of the year between college teams in Columbia and besides the opportunity to see two pow erful teams fight, the contest wiil still be important since it will be a point of com parison between Carolina and other teams of the South which Centre has Played. The Kentuckians have a po'wer ful organization which, although it has been badly beaten several times this sea son, has always shown fight and deter mination, returning to battle in all its fury. Colorful Affair A brillian game is the prospect. Both teams wi'il open ip, and use everything they can muster. The stands promise to be well-filled and the weather is due to be clear. Prof. Olesen's band will be there and 1000 students cheering their favorites of the Garnet and Black in their last battle of a wonderful season. The line-ups of the two teams will probably be as foliows: Carolina Centre Holcombe .......LE .......... Hilker Seidemann.......LT .... (c) Skidmore Pruitt...........LG ............

Due to an unavoidable ddiay of the arrival, the plans of the visitors and the hostesses went astray. At the appointed hour the co-eds were awvaited by class presidents, committees and the orchestra. But no co-eds were to be seen. After a delay of half an hour the game was called. Th'le front campus was deserted when the pullets arrived after awaiting repairs to the bus in which they ma~de the trip. Their arrival on the athletic field was a signal for a general rush by the Win throp gith~ who divided the co-eds among them. During the trip to Rock Hill the co-eds planned - songs and yells to announce their arrival. ON ENDS S NTER OF IN TOMORROW The Gridiron Inkpot CENTRE'S PRAYING Colonels are to try to stem the fighting Gamecock tomorrow. It's certain that more than prayers will be needed to take the final game of the season. SOMEHOW THE NAME Centre re calls many things: the fame of a school that astonished the country by smothering the Crimson of Har var,i and suddenly shot .a galaxy of stars into the football firmament. REMEMBER, too, the day when the Birds' journey to the haunt of the Colonels for Thanksgiving day, and came home with the smaller end of a 42 to 0 score. BUT IF OUR MEMORY does not fail they furnished plenty of opposition before those forty-two points were amassed. Time after time the line pushed back the drives of the Ken tuckians. But the bewildering and famed aerial battle of the Hillsmen was too much. MOST OF THE students remember the time when Gene Baker hid under the baggage when the train pulled out of Columbia. Yes, "Rabbit" got into the fracas-and, gave good ac count of himself. IN THESE DAYS the lads from Centre College have not amassed the string of victories of former yearss But no one can truthfully say that they hav en't as scrappy a team as they ever put on the fie+ld. TOMORROW MORE THAN one Bird will sing his swan song. They'll be wearing the Garnet and Black for the last time. It's a great moment in any mail's life. This covey of Gamecocks have acquitted themselves well. COACH BOCOCK will put aside the cleated shoes tomorrow, his first year as football .coach at Carolina. He has had a good season, his team has shown up, wd!l in every game. Be sides his skill on the field, Bocock has shown himself a man of prin ciples, and his work this year has merited the praise of other coaches in the state. FOR THE FRESHMEN who complet ed their season yesterday a wvord of praise is due. The defeat adminis teredl them by the Furman rats wvas a bad dose, of course, but the yearl ings showed that they have plenty of fight. They kept mat.ters warm for four quarters of the game. IN OUR EYES there seems to be sonme fine material for varsity positions on next year's team. There will'> a lot of ripening needed but the stuff seems to be there. T H A NKSGIVINJG HAS come and gone -King Football soon leaves his throne for another year. With him goes the GRIDIRON INKPOT.! Next wveek shall hiati his successor, BETWEE~N BASKETrS, p)rince of the cage season. - U.s.c. - ENGINEERING STUDENTS INCLUDE BACTERIOLOGY I nfornmat ion from the engineering department is that seniors will take up bacteriology.

The loss of this game gives the Fur man rats a clean slate and undisputed sway over the Palmetto realm and adds to the Biddies record their only defeat of the season. Furman's first touchdown followed close upon the heels of a recovery of Cooper's fumble on his 20 yard line by a Purple and White player in the first quarter. Furman made a first down with the aid of a penalty and another by a pass, putting the ova', on the nine inch line. Blount dove over for the touchdown and Davis kicked the extra point. Biddies Stage Drive In the third period the Biddies began a drive at midfield which carried the ball to the Furman one yard line at the beginning of the fourth. On the first play of the fourth quarter Carolina fum bled but Windus recovered and fell across the goal line. Stewart failed to add the point. In the drive down the field the plunging of Magii?, Griffin and Rogers fgt:red greatly. Carolina's line was holding the Bap tists to a standstill, but on his own 37 yard line Rogers kicked the ball which was blocked, rebounding high into the air and over the goal line. It was recov ered by Fairley. but the try for extra point failed. Furman's A Powerful Backfield Furman was touted to have a powerful team and so they did. The backfieid was full of drive and showed a versatile attack. The line was no stronger than that of the Garnet and Black and was, at times outplayed. Captain Fulmer shone brightest among the young Gamecock forwards and up set Furman drives from tackle to tackle. Guarino (lid more than his share as did also Wolfe and Keels. Windus figured in many of the Biddies' gains. Rogers played a consistent game in the backfield with Cooper and Stack house lending valuable aid. Furman's backfild was an all-star one and the line had a stellar player in Lem mond. THE LINE-UP Carolina (6) Fur,tat (13) Windus .... .....LE.......idwell Wolfe ... .I'......
