GAMECOCI CAROLINA WI1 VICTORY OVI Dope Bucket Turned Over ByGamecocks TWO TOUCHDOWNS MADE Rogers, Wimberly, and Boyd Do Yeomen Service--Big Upset Staged The trumpets sounded, the cym bals crashed, the world turned topsy turvey, and Carolina won over the Uni versity of Maryland. Last Saturday was the day of upsets, the big teams of the country, doped to win by large scores were trampled on by supposedly mediocre elevens. The "Old Liners" were figured to win over Carolina by at least two touchdowns. The (lope was exactly reversed at the finish of the contest. Maryland kicked-off and the Caro lina backs were unable to gain. When the Northerners took the sphere they began a drive that threatened to sweep the light and seemingly "boyish" looking Gamecock team from the field of play. With only one yard to go for I first down, Kessler, the Maryland quarter elected to kick. In the twink ling of an eye the tide of the battle changed, never to swing back. Before the visitor's punter got the pigskin oft his foot when it struck with a resound ing thud against the broad breast of Floyd Thomas. Guarino recovered the ball after it had gone out of bounds. Then while bedlam reigned in the stands the Mighty Bob Wimberly took the ball on one of those stirring end runs for which he is famous. He lit erally outran the "Old Liners," going twenty-seven yards before reaching the goal line. Thus the fighting Game cocks began their great victory. The praises of Bill Rogers have been sung throughout the length of Dixie. On this occasion it is impos sible to refrain from shouting the glory of his wonderful playing again. Against Maryland, Rogers proved him self one of the greatest field generals in football. No one could have imi proved on his game Saturday. Stand ing out ahead of the pack at the s'de of Rogers is the hard-fighting Game cock captain, Bill Boyd. Coach Curley Byrd, of the Maryland contingent, in speaking of Boyd's playing, spoke of him as the greatest center hie had ever seen and that he could make any team in America. He ratedl Wi-uberly as one of the greatest backs he had ever watched perform on the gridiron. Maryland' had the most deceptive andl the most smoothly worked criss cross and( dloub)le-pass formations yet seen in these parts. Dur'ng the fir.st part of the game the Carolina men were bewilderedl by the flashy criss cross that Maryland usedl invariably throughout the contest. In fact the visitors worked their plays successfully even in the latter stages. About the easiest way to explain the Carolina victory is to simply say that "Mary land could'nt heat Carolina for Caro lina beating them." Carol'na scoredl its second touch down by a well trained passing attack. Witni the ball in midfield, Wingfield passedl twenty yards to Bill Rogers. Power Rogers advanced the ball to within ten yardls of the line with a series of line bucks. Another pass, Rogers to Windus made the counte:-. Swink missed the try for point. The third quarter went to Maryland. Twice they made overwhelm'ng bids to score, but the Gamecocks playing wivh their heads uip and with eyes open took advaritage of every break, and took the ball out of (danger. 'rhe "Old Liner3'" pulled several nice plays to work the ball to the twenty yard line where a fumble gave the spheroid to the otherI side.

[ARYLAND BIRDS TO-MEET TARHEEL TEAM IN CHAPEL HILL Squad Left for Chapel Hill Last Night Accompanied by Driver HARD FIGHT EXPECTED Many Students Follow Team to Chapel Hill-Game Is Annual Affair Fresh from a brilliant victory over the Maryland "Oid Liners", the Game cocks are ready to tackle the Tarheels of the University of North Carolina. For the first time in many years South Carolina is doped to win over her sister state institution. The Tarheels lost to Tenessee last week by an overwhelming score. Many of their men were injured. Coach Bob Fetzer has a stiff proposition to groom his men right for such a bat.. tie. Fraud, halfback, had the muscles torn loose in the Volunteer contest, and is unable to play. .Josephs and Supple cannot plays. Faulkner, left guard, has left school. TThe Garnet, and Black eleven came through their fracas in fairly good shape. Abel. guard, is in condition to play again. The annual "hard luck" streak of the Gamecocks has already begun w'th the injury of Seideman. With the need Carolina has at present for experienced linesmcn, worse luck could hart'ly be imanined. Howe%er, if the line holds up against the Tarheels as it did in the Maryland struggle, no one will have a kick coming. A goodly representation of the stu dent body have arranged to see the gane. A general migration is assured. Some are so flushed as to be able to journey in "style" wlh'le others will be compelled to "bum" their way. All that has been heard on the campus, the past week was the question "Are y'.u going to Chapel Hill? By Charlotte or straight through to Raleigh?" For the time being the "loyal sons of Carolina" will turn to "loyal sons of the rough road." The game with North Carolina has come to be an annual affair. Time was when South Carolina was counted as -i "set tip" by our Northern state friends. How times have changed I A terrible battle is expected although South Caro lina seemingly has the advantage. Year before last the Gamecocks journeyed up to Chapel Hill and won a great victory 10 to 7. Last year the Tarheels came south and carried home the bacon of a 7 to 0 score. A blocked punt de cided the game. The South Carolina teams are rapid;y gaining supremacy over their north state rivals. Furman crushed N. C. State 41 to 0 last Saturday. Carolina has decisively beaten State team twvo years in succission. If the Birds win Saturdlay it wvill mean that they have a mighty good chanice to make a clean co'nference recordl. The other confer ence games are wvith Clemson, Virginia, and V. P. 1. We shiouldl win from C'lemson. Virginia dloes not have a very strong eleven. Georgia whipped lhe "0O(1 Dominion" team badly, Satur day, but the Buildogs have a champion ship team. Virginia Polytechnic, like Mfarylandc is somewhat of an "unknown Iuantity.'" The Gobblers are bounid to nave a strong bunch of men. This game (besides Furman) is consideredl lie hardest of the season.
