PAXECOCKS TO MEET UNIV. MD. ELEVEN AGAIN Qpposing Team Seeks Vengeance Carolina Bent on Second Victory MARYLA4D N GOOD SWS?E Gamecock Eleven, Though Bad ly Crippled Is Feared by Old Liners After the hardest practice week of the season, twenty-five members of the Gamecock varsity squad left Wednes day afternoon at 6:30 for College Park, Maryland, where they are to meet the University of Maryland "Old Liners" tomorrow in what promises to be one of the most desperate of battles be tween 'Southern Conference conten ders. Maryland is intent upon avenging themselves of a terrific drubbing ad ministered by the Carolina eleven in the Bird's roost last year. Lightsey's men are equally determined to make it two straight, in spite of the fact that the Carolinians are unable to put their full strenght on the field. Harry Lightsey, head coach, and "Si" Seideman, boss of the reserves will be in charge of the team on the trip. James G. Driver, director of stident activities, and James Cogge shall, manager of the team will also ac company them in their private pullmar. Probable Line-Up Capt. Wingfield is almost certain toa be the starting choice at quarter. Melton is also making the trip and may take part. Ed. Zobel's showing in the opening game was nothing short of spectacular and he will hold one of the halfback places. Bill Cooper is now in condi tion to play, and he will probably take the other -half. Tom Magill and Hiza are to alternate with the two above men. The "Big Train" ripped the Erskine line to pieces last Saturday and Carolina fans have big hopes for him. Hiza alfo did some flashy work. "Red" Swink is the outstanding can didate for fullback, with Drufus Grif fin being held in reserve. Julian Beall and Fulmer are both making the trip. Beall will probably begin the fracas at center. Price and Guarino will likely hold their regular center-flank places. Joye and Watson may get in the fight. Thomas will hold one tackle and Harry Wolfe the other. Power Rogers has been shifted to fullback but may be called back to one of the tackles. Casey Derrick will probably have an opportunity to show his wares. "Buster" Holconbe and Keels will be on the ends, with Farr in reserve. Mike Windus has a chance of sub stituting at quarter. Advance "Dope" From press accounts it appears that the Maryland mentor, Curley Byrd, greatly fears the Gamecocks. Coach Shipley, of Maryland, scouted the Ganmecocks last Saturday and reporte I one of the strongest teams in Caro lina's history. The "Old Liners" worked against the Quantico Marines in a hard prac tice Tuesday and seem to be in tip-top shape to meet the Birds. ---USC Banquet for Co-ned Freshmen Monday Tickets May Be Secured From Miss Rosalie Turner, Chair man of Comamittee Extensive plans for the annual co-ed freshman banquet are being carried on. This affair, sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. is given solely for the freshmen co-eds. No other students are eligible for invita tions except the Y.W.C.A. cabinet memi bers. A most interesting program is being arranged, and the Woman's Cafeteria, where the banquet is to be held, prom ises to be a scene of charm and merri ment on Monday night, October 3. The faanquet is one of the really big social events among the co-eds and every freshman girl is urged to be present. The tickets are free; any freshman who did not get her tiebcet in chapel can do so by seeing Miss Rosalie TIur'ner, chair man of the Freshman Committee, at her room, 120 Woman's Building. Don't forget the time and place-and don't forget your ticket which is most I NKPOT FANS A. cautiomd to remind them selves that the showing of the Game cocks in the opening kame can hard ly be accepted as a criterion by which one may measure the absolute strength of the team this year. There is much potential power in the squad and if anyone can bring it to the surface-Lightsey can. - INKPOt - ERSKINE'S touchdown was not sche duled to take place. It happened because of loose and rather careless playing on the part of the Carolina team. In a more important battle and at a more critical time it would not have occurred as it did. -INEPO TO THE credit of the Seceders, be it said that their whole eleven played corking good football. Dode Phill ips has a real team on the field this year and it argues well for Erskine victories in years to come. -INKPOT WHILE the Gamecocks, 25 strong, jour ney up to Maryland for the second contest and the first big test of the season, Bob Wimberly remains in his hosNital cot, unable to be about as a result of a broken ankle sustained in practice. It would be good to have the "racehorse" clipping the 'Old Liner" ends Saturday. Wim berly played his best game last year against Maryland. GRESSETTE NOW COACHING A.R.C. FOOTBALL TEAM COACHED IN LAGRANGE, GA. Won Thirty Consecutive Games, Scoring 1,054 Points to 93 by Opponents Tatum Gressette, who graduated from the University of South Carolinp, a famous athlete, in 1922, and whose success as a football coach for La Grange (Ga.) high school is probably unsurpassed, has this year assumed duties as coach for the Academy of Richmond County in Augusta, Ga. Gressette was captain of Carolina's football team in 1921. He was noted for his ability to get away with long runs and for his enlightened toe. He was given credit for winniig several games for Carolina, including one not able victory over Clemson. Nor did Gressette's activities stop with football. He starred in baseball, wrestling, and among other things took active part in social activities of the campus. On arriving at LaGrange in - 1923 coach Gressette found the athletic as sociation there stranded without funds. With inadequate equipment he took 24 boys who reported to the first prac tice and organized a team that went through the season with only two -le feats, both by one-point margins. Since the defeat by Columbus (Ga.) high school, LaGrange has won every game on schedule. Coach Gressette's team was victorious in 30 consecutive games, scoring 1,054 points to 93 points mnade by the opponents. The record of LaGrange is somewhat similiar to that of Columbia high school. And it so happened that Gressette and Lightsey, former coach for Columbia, now coaching at Carolina, played on the same team while they were at the University. Followving are the games and their re suilts played by Gressette's men since they were dlefeatedl by Columbus in 1923: 1923 LaGrange 12}-Roanoke 9 LaGrange 34-Fourth A. & M. 0 LaGrange 54-Greenville 0 LaGrange, 13-Newton, 6 LaGrange 34-Carrollton 0 1@34 LaGrange 69-West Point 0 LaGrange 86-Carrollton 0 LaGrange 40--Newman 0 LaGrange 60-Griffin 3 LaGrange 14-Boy's High 0 LaGrange 70-Hartwell 6 LaGrange 28--Moultrie 13 1925 ILaGrange 34-Carrollton 0 ILaGrange 21-Beth.

MARGIN Pbi9' MN Exse QVr To1uch down in Last Minute FINAL SCORE IS 13 TO 6 Carolina Offense Shows Up Well in the Opening Contest of Season Dode Phillips brought his Erskine Se ceders to Columbia for the first game of the season last Saturday, and though his men did not succeed in *carrying off the bacon," they did score on the Game cocks and thereby had something to be proud of, as it has been several years since the trick has been turned. Erskine has a well coached and 'ow erful eleven this year and each man played a wonderful game. Aside from a slight difficulty of the ends and backs in holding passes in the early stages of the contest, the team functioned per fectly. The Carolina offense showed up better than was expected. Ed Zobel especilly did some mighty nice ground gaining. The first team defense held in fine style. Carolina's First Touchdown Swink kicked off to Erskine's 30-yard line to start the battle. Reid and Phill ips, to the consternation of the Carolina fans rapidly advanced the ball for a first down. Two more attempts almost net ted another, but the Carolina line held, and Wingfield brought the punt back to mid-field. Zobel hurled a beautiful 25 yard pass to Hiza, and the Newbetsey boy was thrown-' before he could get well under way. Hiza and Swink battered the op posing line and took the oval to the 15 yard line. Three pjays took it to the three yard line, and Zobel swept around left end behind excellent intereference for The Gamecocks' initial score of the season. Sw;nk booted the pigskin thru the uprights set 10 yards back of the goal line to increase the score by one point. Carolina's Second Touchdown In the second period after an exchange of punts, Carolina began a sustained drive which landed the ball on the 30 yard line. Zobel started on a left end run, reversed his field and raced for a second toucdown. Swink's try for point faled. Following this score the game legan to drag fearfully. The Birds seemed to be in scoring'dist:asce several times but did not pl!t forth the necessary drive. One af the prettiest parts of t4.e ;on test came late in the third quarer, w en one of Wingfield's punts was blocked and recovered by an Erskine man on Carolina's ei4ht yard mark. The firs line plunge teoc the oval half the dis-, tance to the goal. But the next three attempts netted exactly nothing, and Carolina's envied reputation for holding in the last few yards was sustained. Ersigne Fans Jubilant With a goad part of the second team in the Bird line-ui?, the Seceders were trying desperately "for a score and in the last minite suicceeded. i p pass Reid to Par4inson ca'ised1 a gam o'f' 46 yards and the long lanky boy eafdc his' way over the' Garnet and Black gpa? line' for a touchdgwn.
