GAMECOCK GR: TOUGH SCHI TEN GAMES ARE LISTED Maryland and Virginia to Be Played Here-Erskine Comes First The fighting Gamecocks of South Carolina are preparing to go on a ram page. With blood in their eyes, the red shirted warriors of the state university are waiting impatiently for the open ing of the season. When the tocsin of football is sounded over Southern fields, Carolina will send forth a well balanced, hard-hitting team. A hard schedule is ahead. The menu calls for one game less than last years' schedule contained, as only ter games will be played. Some of the biggest teams in the Southern Confer ence are in order and the Gamecocks are certain to have hard sledding, in places. Two large schools that have not hitherto played. Carolina are to send teams southward. They are the Uni versities of Virginia, and Maryland. The Erskine Seceders invade the Gamecock fort for the initial setto Of course Carolina will take the game but the little Due West College always sends a fast, scrappy team that fights to the finish. This game is scheduled for Sept. 25. Erskine meets Clemson on the preceding Saturday. On October 2, the Maryland squad will come to the Capital City. Mary. land has a good team this year, having '23 nien from the 1925 varsity squad. In the past two years the North Carolina teams have had to "sit up and take notice" of the Gamecocks The highly tooted University of North Carolina eleven went down by the score of 10 to 7, before the onslaught of the 1924 Garnet and Black pigskin warriors. Last season North Carolina won by the score of seven to zero. The Gamecocks will invade the Tarheels on October 9 at Chapel Hill. Wofford will come to Columbia on October 15. Last year the Terriers threw a scare into our camp by holding us to a 6 to 0 score. However, they have lost several of their men and are not expected to put a very strong team on the field. Coach Bocock, be cause of the Clemson game, ten days away, will probably hold back his best men. Every Carolina man knows what the state fair game means. No true Caro lina man ever misses it. For it is then, that the Clemson Tiger leaves the security of his home in the hills and comes to battle the Gamecock. For two successive years the Tiger has re turned home utterly vanquished. Last year they were literally swamped, 33 to 0. No one who saw that epic con test can forget the magic toe of Jazz, He kicked three field goals and three goals after touchdowns, almost a world's record. This year Clemson is supposed to have a much better team, Anyway, the two teams will meet on Thursday of fair week, October 21. Following the state fair, the Carolina eleven will go down to the Orangeburg fair for the annual fray with the Cit. adel Bulldogs. On October 27, almosl the entire student bodies of both insti tutions make this trip. Last year the cadets, led by the great Teddy Weeks put up a magnificent battle to lead at the end of the first half by the score of 6 to 3. However, the Gamecock! were not to be denied, the "sol. di'ers" defense crumbled and they Were beaten, 30 to 6. After only a three day rest interval "Bill Boyd's Brigade" will meet Coact "Greasy" Neale's pigskin tossers or Davis Field.

Coach Bocock says that no. definite line-up can be announced as yet. About 35 or 40 men are on the varsity squad. Eleven letter 'men are back, but only five of these-Swink, Wimberly, Bill Rogers, Caytain Boyd, and Seideman -are regulars. The other six, who played a good deal and won their let ters are; Price, center; Burke and Holcombe, ends; Wingfield, quarter; Thomas, tackle; Abel, guard. Every eligible man has returned. Brightest lights of the Gamecock eleven are the two Bill's-Rogers and Boyd. Both are all-state men, and Rogers won a place as substitute back on the composite all-Southern team for 1925. Many experts believe that he is the finest quarter in the South. Rogers ran wild last season, and is certain to be a winning factor in the success of the Carolina machine this year. Bill is one of the finest and accurate pass ers in Dixie. Bill Boyd is captain of the team. He is noted for fierce tackling and for be ing mixed up in nearly every play. Few centers are faster than Boyd. He throws the ball back to the punter, and is down the field ready to down the re c ever of the punt. Many games have been saved by Bill, when he nailed runners, seemingly loose for touch downs. In Bob Wimberly, Carolina has one of the finest broken field runners in the state. When this dashing half back takes the ball around the end a gain is certain. Power Rogers is the boy doped to take the place of Jazz. He is a marvel at backing up a line. He will assist Wimberly in the punt ing. Red Swink has a niche already cut for him at halfback. This henna haired dynamo of energy is the hard est hitting line plunger in the Caro lina backfield. The line is Coach Bocock's chief trouble. Holcombe and Burke will probably take the wing positions, Keels, Vogel, Windus and Verner will give them a battle for places. At tack les there are "Si" Seideman and Floyd Thomas. Carson and Wolfe come up from the freshman team of last year. Abel, Guarino, Young and Watson will fight it out for places at guard. Naturally, Boyd will play center, but the fiery "Red" Fulmer star of the 1925 "rat" eleven is to be reckoned with. It is the irony of fate that such a stellar play'er as Fulmer has that type of competition. Other candidates fcr the backfield are Fair, Hall, Stackhouse, Jim Cooper, Bill Cooper, Griffin and "Shorty" Jones. The squad has, been practicing on their newly turfed field for two weeks n6w, and the men are rapidly whip ping into shape. "Rooster" McFad din is backfield coach, and Jack Can tey is coach of the reserves. --'U.S.C. Most outstanding of the' freshman grinders is "Crip" Rhame, formnerly of Carlisle Fitting School. Rhame 's brothers, Lee and B.

Coach -q;a2o; paaa;;q seq ?auo;g ;;uing er an All-Star aggregation of High School and Prep School players. As practice has only been going on for a week, it is impossible to pick out or make any intelligent prediction as to who will make the team. Seventy freshmen have put their names on the roll book as candidates for the team. They are a big husky g?oup of future Gamecock varsity men. The importance of having well trained freshman material cannot be over estimated,, for a poor Biddie team means lean times for the varsity in years to come. One who is well known to Columbia fans, and is a bidder for a backfield berth is "Crip" Rhame. He is a brother to the famous Lee Rhame, halfback on the Furman "Purple' Hurricane of '22 and '23. He was captain of the Carlisle Fitting school eleven, which copped the state prep flag last year and had one of the most outstanding prep school teams in the South. Another Carlisle star is Zobel who is trying for quarter. There are other strong contenders, such as Kyserling, from New Jersey; Graharf, of the North Greenville Academy; Beal, of Columbia; Adams (brother of "Red" Adams) of Pickens; Topshe of Bailey, and many others who are equal ly as well known as the above mention ed men, of whom more dope can be obtained later in the season. The following is a list of the Bid die squad: Young, Tipton, Melton, Lightsey, Harin, Lynn, Glowke, Halley, McCutcheon, Brown, White, Hunt, Worley, Cash, Reid, Hair, Wehman, Craves, Johnson, McCleod, Buie, Beall, Smith, Panebranco, Strools, Webster, Lambert, Golloway, Askin, Garrett, Phillips, McManus, Grahal, Preacher, Searles, Rivers, Witherspoonj Hays, McMiloan, Rush, Siegel, Silbert, Meeks Black, Stoddard, Boukn-ght, Joye, Mopper, Baker, Allgood, Bruce, Ken nedy, Alsbrook, Garrison, Conyers, West, Gleaton, Covington, Buzhart, Pita, Tophse. - U.S.C. - The Gridiron Inkpot 'rn-night is College night. It is a custom here to give the new men a taste of college life at that time. Let's go Freshmen I Put that old spirit into the shirt tail parade up the main drag. Every football fan in this neck of woods has the name of the great Bill Rogers on the tip of his tongue. Great things are expected of you this time Bill. We know you can do it I Another Rogers who can bear'watch ing is the light haired speed demon from mullins. Power Rogers clip ped off a 440 yard dash in one of the freshman track meets last year in 55 seconds, and he wasn't even in pretty good shape. He can kick, pass and run with the ball. Coach Bocock is likely to play an all star passing combination in the back field. The two Rogers boys together with Wimberly and Swink, are work ing with a machine-like precision. All foi:r can pass. Bill Rogers will do the biggest part of the hurling. Bill punt ed in a good many gan,es last year, and he is practically a triple-ithreat star. - U.S.C. - I~mbued With Spirit All Frosh Co-eds The freshmen co-eds have already shown ,their college spirit by wearing green ribbon.
