Carolina has real work cut out fo;
her Saturday. The University o
Maryland comes south with a strong
team. This is the first time Marylan<
has been on the Carolina schedule, an<
as neifher of the teams have playet
gamr.s this season by w tich they cou!

i" ti- te? ras began th_ 1926 sessi.
h< t Saturday, wich comparativel:
easy games. Maryland swept with th<
force of a tidal wave to overwheln
the light Washington college eleven
They ran up a 63 to 0 score, before tin
game ended. Coach Curley Byrd has a
sparkling array of backfield material
but the line is considered to be weak
The Washington contest was not a
true test of the Maryland steel-bul
the Gamecocks must have a pretty stifl
defense to keep the northerners froir
piercing their line.
Carolina offered a fairly well-oiled
machine in the Erskine game. There
were a few kinks however, that will
have to be ironed out before the birds
step out in faster company. As a
whole the backfield worked well. but
numerous fumbles were made. Twice
they were on the verge of scoring, and
bad handling of the pigskin ruined the
play. The Gamecock squad is in goo-]
shape with the exception of Seideman
and Abel. Seideman, a pillar of de
fense at tackle was injured early in the
Erskine game. He was taken to the
Columbia hospital on Monday morning.
His hurt consists of a torn cartilage in
the knee, and was the result of a severe
twist of the leg. Loss of the strong
est man in the line will weaken Caro
lina's chances.
Bill Rogers threw some mighty nifty
passes in the game. Only one of them
went badly wrong, and that was not so
thuch his fault as it was a couple of
other players. Passes were not needed
very much against the Seceders, but
th Gamecocks will probably open up a
barrage of them. tomorrow. Perhaps
the long, slender Buster Holcombe will
get a real chance to show his stuff on
the receiving end. Those long arm
are just naturally made for a football
to nestle in.
If the first teamt shouldl chance tc
falter, Coach Bocock has a group oi
second string men whom he can count
on. T'he sertibs cut loose an offensivc
last Sat urday, that virtually stood thc
Secedlers on thieir heads. "Redl" Ful
mer is going to push someone fora
lace in the line. He' is already being
groomed to fill Bill Boyd's shoes next
year. Red is light for a center, but he
is good enough to stay with the best
of them. Wingfield put up a battle
that was unrivalled in fighting spirit.
Stackhouse ran the team like a veteran.
Samu Burke p)roved his "brain in the
right place" with that snappy play hc
pulled in snatching up the ball, and
heading for the goal line. It seems tc
us that the Gamecock's have just about
as goodl a chance in tomorrow's game
as anyone else.

St. Matthews Boy Makes Bril

- -Rogers Swink and
Boyd Star
The Gamecock's spurs fairly ripped,
and tore the turf of the new athletic
field Saturday afternoon. Erskine was
.forced to give way and Carolina tri
umphed 41 to 0. The first test of the
year came, and the Gamecocks were
not found wanting.
Erskine put up a stubborn, but losing
fight and the outcome of the battle was
never in doubt. The Garnet and Black
warriors started with a mighty rush,
and shoved over a counter two minutes
after the game began, Wimberly rac
ing the final ten yards around right
end to make the touchdown. Shortly
afterward Swink plunged through for a
anoth . i the ' .xt kIc:u'i thv ba'l
was played toward the center of the
field. After a few futile attempts at
bucking the line, Wimberly made a
beautiful end run, going half the dis
tance of the field for a touchdown.
Swink made a nice play when he cut
the Ersk'ne safety man out of the path
of the St. Matthews boy, thereby al
lowing him to continue.
Perhaps, four thousand people wit
- nessed the contest. The brand new
steel bleachers were not entirely devoid
of building tar, but strips of cloth
placed at intervals along the rows of
seats, allayed this slight discomfort.
Old Sol poured down his effulgence un
mercifully on the unprotected heads of
spectators. A thin golden-colored veil
of dust enveloped the two elevens as
el they struggled on the gridiron. The
ms Gamecock cheering section burst into
the repeated yells as their team would gain
od the advantages. The Seceders' cohorts
an were few, but they well made ~n fnr
ck numbers in the din they created. As
)u the Erskine team entered the playing
as field, the name of Coach "Dode" Phil
e lips-All-Southern fullback, and the
greatest player South Carolina ever
produced--was on every lip. The
great Dode's brother participated in
i the contest, and he kept up the family
or rep.
EIrskine's chief stars were the red
haired, hard fighting fullliack, Derril
d.Pratt, and their giant leader, Captain
Williams. One cannot give too much
credlit to this scrapp'ng little team. Far
10o light to compete on equal terms
en withI the Carclina eleven, they fought

ne. Gamecock stars are numerous as
