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.

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

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.
