SUCCESSFI BIRDS WIN FIN FROM CEN' Twenty Points Run Up To Kentuckians' Nought LAST GAME SEEMS BEST Carolina Scores Early in First Quarter-Two Seniors Make All Three Touchdowns A grand old Bird strutted his finest plumage up and down Davis Field last Saturday, flying into, through and around eleven Centre College "Praying Colo neis" for 20 points and leaving the Ken tuckians holding an egg. The Gamecock had passed through a successful season but went into the last game bearing some painful scars which he- had notions of avenging at the hands of the players from the Blue Grass. This last game of the season seems always highly pleasing to the Carolina patrons, since it annually shows what a fighter the Bird really is. For the last two years the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest, after having been doped to throw destruction into the Carolina camp, have been thrust down to defeat by a spirited Garnet and Black team. Swan Song For Many Last week the ability of the team was, in a way, honorary. Several of. the greatest athletes the University has had were in their last game and it was only fitting that they should win it. Captain J. C. Long, brimming with aggressiveness played for his last time, and Marion Swink gave the best exhibition at end seen in these parts in many moons. The reliable guards, Pruitt and Gunter, weld ed the line together and made it impos sible for the Centre men to pierce it to any extent. Bill Jeffords was Brilliant and took a leading role in the act of catching passes. Carolina scored right off the bat. Boyd kicked off to Raberstein who returned to his 25 yard line and, on the next play, threw a pass to Skidmore for a first down. Rogers threw Wilson for a nine yard loss and soon afterward Jeffords intercepted a pass on his 29 yard line. Red Swink ran 18 yards on the first play and a pass, Rogers to M. Swink placed the ball on Centre's 22 yard line. A pass Jeffords to Rogers, took the ball to eight yards of the goal. Red Swink made three and four and on the next play Rogers went across, but both teams were offside and the ball had to go back. Red Swink missed the zero marker by inches on one play and went over it on the next. He missed the try for point after touchdown. Scoring Algain No more scoring was effected unti-l the second period was two-thirds over. Then Carolina lost the bail on Centre's 17 yard line by a fumble. Wimberly received a punt and returned 12 yards to his oppo nent's 30 yard marker. Jack Wanna maker went in for Red Swink. He made 13 yards and first down in three plays, plunging through the Centre breast works. He made twvo more, a pass was grounded and Rogers was downed trying to pass oni his 25 yard line.

It's months too early for the crack of the' willow. Crown prince basket ball is now in his prime. MONDAY THE TRYOUTS for the freshman and varsity quintets will get under way, and things will be going at full blast through the tornament in Atlanta. GRADUATIONS TREATED us light ly last year and most of the vet erans of the court are back again. The Gamecock should crow in a sweet voice this year. SOME MIGHTY FINE timber comes from the freshman five of last year and the old timers will have to hustle to show superiority. Five guesses whether such a condition makes us mad. Yep, you're right the first time. BASKETBALL TOOK on a real sig nificance at Carolina last year. The addition of bleachers and balconies was needed to accommodate the spec tators. One could hardly believe that a thousand people would turn out for a basketball game. THERE'S PROBABLY a reason. The onlooker saw for a whole season about the classiest games that have ever been played on thegym floor. With the phenomenal flash and skill that can be exhibited in the game, there is no wonder that pub lic interest is increasing. "PAT" KEYSELING manages the varsity this season. He's been looking after the boys ever since he bought his first bath ticket at at Carolina, and will in our opinion make a tip-top man. NO NORTHERN TRIP is scheduled for the Birds and probably will not be added. Three trips, however, will be made. Clemson and Fur man will be tackled on the journey to the upper-state. Then the Cit adel and the College of Charleston will furnish the Opposition for the University. Georgia and Georgia Tech are also billed on the Game cock itinerary. BEFORE THE SEASON closes with the Southern tournament, support ers of the Garnet and Black will see one of the flashiest and fast .est teams that has stepped on the floor of the gymnasium. That's our guess, and we expect the records to bear us out. WHICH REMINDS US, in closing, have seen the new uniforms, and, believe me, they are the berries. See them coming a block away. and hear themi a mile. They are some niftick. The varsity men who were named are: Captain Long, F. Thomas, Abel, Wim berly, M. Swink, R. Swink, Rogers, Bartelle, Price, Holcombe, Pruitt, Miils, Jeffords, Boyd, Wingfield, Seideman, Gunter, Burke, Wright, Fennel, Russa mano, Wannamaker, and Manager Em mett Howle.

Swing, Gunter, Pruitt, Bartelle, Mills, Jeffords and Wright Played Stellar Bail Carolina saw some of her brightest stars of football play the last game of their collegiate career last Saturday against the Colonels of Centre College. Much favorable comment has been passed them by various writers of the state and two were deemed the best of the year by accorded places on the all state team. Captain J. C. Long, tackle, was one of these brilliants. Long was already famous when he entered Carolina and has lived up to his name in remark ably good fashion in the eyes of the upholders of the Garnet and Black. He is the most aggressive lineman in the state, many have said, and is sturdy on defense. A capable leader with a sea son's record to be proud of. Swink Is Good Marion Swink, once called Wood ruff's big boy, blossomed forth this year, also, in the all-state garden. He will finish his college career this spring but in his four years here he has be come one of the greatest of figures in Carolina athletic history. One writer said he was as good in the Centre game as the renowned Luke Hill whose name has lasted at the University lo I these many years. "Swamp" has more endur ance than any other man on the squad. "Pig" Gunter, a sterling guard and a hard worker, he played his four years of football. Gunter is as hard as a rock and is never downed. Weighing only 160 pounds he has held down the guard's position regularly the last two years. Pruitt Blocks Their Punts J. B. Pruitt, another guard, will 4in ish his law course this spring ater playing a regular position for two years. This husky fellow seems to take an especial delight in blocking punts and he became very prof::ient in this last season. It was in this way the Wofford game was won. Pruitt will be missed for his strong defensive powers and his head-up at all times. Henry Bartelle and "Hick" Mills were frequently substituted in the guard positions and showed themselves to be powers. Bartellc has been on the varsity tcam four years, Mills has made it three. Jeffords Goes Tu Bill Jeffords, back will graduate this year. He is a cleve.- runner, a punter and a passer, but his main forte lies in cat..ing them. H.: rarely misses them and can check out when he snags one. Jack Wright is likewise a good receiver of Iasses.
