Final Score is 19 to 0-Rogers,
Burke and Price Star in
Brilliant Game
"And the throng that came to jeer,
remained to cheer," says Pete Dun
ford, sporting scribe of the Richmond
News-Leader, as he chronicles the re
ports of the impressive 19 to 0 victory
of the Gamecocks of South Carolina
over the V. P. I. Gobblers.
Yes, the Birds have again become the
"fighting Gamecocks." The long
awaited comeback has been realized.
The spirit of victory is in the air.
Furman can never stop the "fighting
Gamecocks." The "underdog" turned
completely over in Richmond Saturday
to the complete discomforture of the
many V. P. 1. supporters who gathered
at Tate field, to witness the beating of
a once crestfallen Gamecock by an
undefeated Gobbler.
Cooper's headwork paved the way
for the first bombshell to be hurled in
the Gobbler ranks. Wimberly punted
57 yards, to the three yard .line, and
Cooper was there ready to 'drop on it.
Wingfield returned Peake's punt six
yards to V. P. I's 39 yard line. Burke
took a ten yard pass. Rogers made
two and a half yards. The first quar
ter ended, at this point, with the ball
on Tech's four yard line.
On the opening of the second per
iod, Rogers passed three yards to
Cooper. On the next play he took it
over himself for the touchdown.
Shortly after the next kick-off, Burke
tbok a pass and raced 40 yards for an
other touchdown. The half ended with
no further scoring. Neither team tal
lied in the third quarter. But Caro
lina's day was not yet done, as another
touchdown was forthcoming. Bill
Rogers intercepted a pass three min
utes after the last period began, and
ran 22 yards before a Tech man threw
him on the Virginian's 49 yard line.
Rogers flipped a pass to Wingfield,
who sprinted for the final South Caro
lina score.
Students were jubilant over the un
expected win. There was rejoicing in
Columbia when the reports for the first
half came in, and when the final score
was flashed on the bulletin board,
cheer after cheer broke loose. A riot
ous display of "shirt-tails" was the
culma nation of the celebration.

THE GAME TOMORROW is the
most important on our schedule. It
is true that it has not the color
which the Fair Classic has, nor is
the Furman as strong as some elev
ens that we play. But in the past
few years, Furman and Caroiia
have come to look, upon each other
as the only barriers to the state
championship. In 1924, ' Furman
caused a triple tie by lefeating Car
olina after she had already been
beaten by the Citadel. Last year,
Furman wci 2 to 0 and ciinched the
state rag. This time it is impossi
ble for the Gamecocks to win the
championship but we chance a tie
if we heat Furman, and the Baptists
in turn defeat the Citadel. And it
isn't such a bare prospect that the
Bulldogs wll beat both Furman and
P. C.

ONE OF THE MOST ioyal of all
Carolinians is "Sammy," mascot o1
the varsity. "Sammy," and a cer
tain freshman, Paderewski by name
(no relation to the Baby Grand
tickier), hid uner the seats of the
football players' train on the way
to Richmond. It took 15 hours to ho
there, but they stood it. On the
way home, an over-curious con
ductor happened to investigate and
chucked them out in Raleigh. Sam
my drifted in Monday night, and
the other member of the party has
finally concluded his "delightful
trip.'"
- BEAT FURMAN -
TO AVENGE three successive years of
defeat ! That is what the Game
cocks are going to "fight like hel1"
to do tomorrow! "Beat Furman"
is the motto. It is everywhere. On
automobiles, on the sides of build
ings, in the classrooms, and the dor
mitories the magic worls are print
ed. There is nothing like the spirit
that the men of Carolina are show
iug now. Keep it up Gamecocks.
We need it a,l!

NEW BUILDING h
FOR ATHLETICS
d
HALF FINISHED
Lack of Steel Girders Halts the
Work for a Short Period
of Time
TO SEAT FIVE THOUSAND
Will Be Completed By the First
of March-Largest Seating
Capacity in Columbia
Work oii the University Field House,
which is just about half completed, is
being held up at present by the failure
of the steel girders, necessary for the
construction of the building to arrive
on time. These steel supports were
shipped to the contractors this week
and they expect them to arrive within
the next few days.
All of the foundation work for the
new building has been completed, with
the exception of the flooring. The con
crete beds that will support the steel
.up-rights have been set a.;d everything
is in readiness to rush the building to
completion as the material arrives.
It is expected that this unforseen de
lay wil"1 prevent the contractor from
completing the building in the time lim.
it set in the contract, although the fore
,man of the job, states that the build
ing will, in all probabi.ity, be com
pleted by the first of March. The
Cencrete Construction Company is in
charge of the construction of the build
ing, while the plans were drawn up
by Carrill Johnson, Columbia architect.
The seating capacity of the new
building will be about five thousand.
with room to put in extra seats in case
of an emergency. The seats will be ar
ranged in a circle around the edge of
the building. Inside the circle will be
a basketball court for inter-collegiate
games. There wil also be several prac
t'ce courts so that all teams may work
out at once rather than be champed for
space. ,
Underneath the circle of seats will be
lockers for various athletic teams,
Gamecocks and visitors. The visiting
teams will have a place to sleep. Shower
baths wi;l also be provided. This will
mean a great saving in the expense of
inter-collegiate games. as they demand
a large expenditure.
It is planned to utilize any extra
space as club rooms for the clubs fun
ctioning on the campus. The "Block
C" club wil.l, in particular, be cared for.
These wearers of the coveted letter will
be given first preference in the event
that $pace can he provided for them.
This building will also be a great
addition to the public buildings of Co
lumbia.. At present there is no build
ing here that can seat as many people as
the new Field House will seat when
completed. , ,
