CITADEL CADE TOPPLES B Zobel Hurls Long Pass to Cap tain Wingfield for the Only Score of Contest CAROLINA 6 - CADETS 0 Wingfield Stars for Carolina - Hutchison Makes Sensa tional Runs A Citadel Bulldog which snarled furiously in the first half of the Orangeburg classics Thursday grovell ed at the feet of a high flying Game cock in the final period and was sum marily dismissed from the gridiron at the close of the thrilling contest car rying an adverse 6 to 0 decision. Zo bel's long heave in the third quarter, coupled with Emmett Wingfield's per fect catch and run put across a lone counter that was suffcient for the Caro lina victory. Citadel's passing game was a con stant threat. Never were the Game cocks allowed to sit by and take things easy. On three different instances the Soldiers carried the oval to within si?iking distance of the South Carolina goal but were never able to supply the final and necessary puncch. Birds Get Bad Start Blanding kicked off to Power Rod gers ,who returned tto the 12 yard line. Wingfield's boot was high and short, and the Citadel lined up for the next play on Carolina's 20 yard mark. Blanding fumbled on a bad center pass and taking no chances dived on the oval for a six yard loss. A line play gained little, Blanding, quarter, crash ed through center for ten yards. A pass fell on unrich soil and Carolina was again in possession 12 short yards from their own goal Bline. Swink lost seven. The punt bounded back to the Bird's 15 yard line. Howie and Bland ing accounted for eight yards between them in three plays and on the fourth, Hutchinson lost three on a fake left end run. Capt. Wingfield kicked out to the 45 yard mark and Carolina sup porters united in a great sigh of relief. The Cadets continued to thrust their way into Gamecock territory but al ways had to give over the ball on downs. The first period ended with Carolina's ball on her own 20 yard tape. Early in the second quarter Citadel had the ball on Carolina's 13 yard mark. Hutchinson essayed a drop kick which was directed straight but was yards short. Teddie Sidesteps Throuk Teddy Hutchinson's beautiful exhi bition of broken field running was the sensation of the fracas. Shortly after the opening of the second period he re.ceived a kick in midfield and dodded, twisted, and squirmed through the Garnet and Black defense and all but reached his goal. Cooper toppled him on the 17 yard line. Zobel to Wingleld Ed Zobel was sent in for Swink but the first half ended before a play could be started. Wingfield, Rodgers. Zobel and Hiza comprised the backfield as the two elevens trotted on the field for the sicond half gong. A barrage of passes was in order and the cadets knew it. Hiza took the kickoff and was thrown on the 34 yard line. Zobel went back 66 punt formation, and Stoddard was wide open for the pass. He took it and the gain was for 11 yards. Rodgers made six off tackle and Zobel lost one on an end run. Wingfield kicked to the 12 yard mark. Wingfield failed. Zo bel gained eight yards on a long end rtin. Wingnield punted and Windus picked the ball tir on Citadel's one yard line. Blanding made a fine kick and the oval belonged to the Gamecocks o,n their own 34 yard line. A pass was knocked down. Zobel went back. The ball did not come to him exactly right and the Citadel linesmen forced him far back before he could get in a posi tion to release it. He put all his pow er behind a perfectly spiralling toss and It fell Into the arms of the waiting Em PORT E. W.:BALLENGER, Editor T ELEVEN EFORE BIRDS INKPOT THE CI'lADEL game vyas not expect ed to be a soft shot and the Cadets turned out to be tartars. Thank, to Zobel's toss and Wingfield's catch, Carolina reversed the first half in dications and put the game on ice which we admit at several times became so hot from Citadel passes was in; danger of melting. SIX OR SEVEN thousand persons crowded into the Orangeburg fair grounds stadium for the "little clas sic". It was a colorful setting for a thrilling battl'e of football brains, brawn and speed. BILL COOPER was supported by play ers when he walked in and off the field during the half. Bill was not in condition to play but went in regardless of cost and showed a wonderful display of nerve and fine playing. CAROLINA FANS are stilI shivering from the remembrance of Teddy Hutchison's spectacular open-field running. Ugh l He almost scored after intercepting that pass. JOSH CODY has a hard hitting foot ball club up at Tigertown this year. Carolina does not begrude them the victory. FIGHTS GALORE have been the fea ture -of both fair games. It was unsafe for one to express an opin ..n on the relative merits of either team for fea rof being immediately annihilated. LIGHTSEY juggled his line-up a little; for the game with the soldiers. Rod gers went to the backfield. Windus, Stoddard and Fulmer took turns at end at the opening of the second half but the two regulars. Holcombe and Keels usurped them. ZOBEL crashed into the Citadel players berch trying to dodge a whole army of cadets. A spectator sitting near by was siightly hurt. Tlime had to be called another time to remove a worshipper at the shrine of Bac chus from the gridiron. mett Wingfield, who had been allowed by the Citadel half to get a fiive yard lead. The Carolina captain sprinted the remaining 34 yards to the goal line un molested. Zobel's placement was de flected. Buldogs Pass Desperately By a series of passes the Bulldogs managed to ease their way to Carolina's eight yard line. Blanding made three on the first attempt but gained nothing on the second. He crashed through to the two yard mark, fumbled, and Ferguson recovered. The Carolina stands prayed or their line-famed fo: holding inside the ten yard whitewash streak-to withstand just one more thrust. Cheer ater cheer went up as the next attempt netted only half a yard. Wingfield punted to his own 30 yard line. The Soldiers came within a hair of scoring near the end of the first half, when the slIppery Hutchinson inter cepted a pass on his own 30 yard mark and ran 63 yards down the field. For a time it looked as if nothing could pre vent him from reaching his goal but a Carolina man brought him to terra firma 23 yards short of the promised land.' Wlngfield's Great Day Captain Emmett Wingfield was in top notch form and played a cracking good game. He had the opportunity to account for the only score of the battle and came through. He handled every punt in exellent style and invari ably stepped off for substantial yard age after receiving the kicks. Ed Zobel was on the sending end of the aerial attack which let to a touch down in the third period and made connections almost every time he hurled the elusive spehrold. Zobel was car ried from the grIdiron In the last quar ter and Swink took his place. S BIRDS TRAMPLE TARHEEL TEAM IN HARD GAME Camecocks Trip Dopebucket and Thoroughly Trounce the Univ. of N. C. WIN BY TOUCHDOWN 14-6 Magill Plunges Over Tackle for First Counter-Swink Intercepts Paw Revenge is often sweet. But never has it seemed so sugary to Carolina men as when a short two weeks ago today, the Tarheels of North Carolina Univer sity swooped down on the Palmetto capital with a highly rated eleven and were utterly rubbed in the dust of Mel ton Field by the Gamecocks. The score was 14 to 6. Last year a smali army of Carolinians journeyed by devious routes to Chapel Hill for the sole purpose of witnessing a big score Gamecock victory over the Tarheeliani. The tale of that game is short and dark and needs not to be recorded here. Three years ago South Carolina won 10 to 7 on a touchdown by Marion Swing and a field goal from the trusty toe of P. J. Boatwright. That was the first time that the Gamecocks have ever won. On. Saturday, October 15th the historic South-State institution increased their "won" column to two victories. From the beginning, the game was des tined to be a gruelling defensive battle. South Carolina had the advantage from the start. Repeated long runs turned to naught however and it looked as if the Gamecocks could never get in scor ing distance without losing their oppor tunity. The counter came shortly after Witigfield skidded through over the field and all but ran across the line after re ceiving a punt in mid-field. The ball vacillated between the two elevens, Car olina never quite getting the scoring puth in tune. Finally it was Carolina's ball on the 15 yard line. The stands rose to a man when Tom Magill, the 'OBig Train," as he has been correctly dubbed, trotted on the ridiron. Zobei went out. Magill went over tackle for three yards. On the next play the linesmen opened a hole, the secondary defense was brushed aside by the powerful half back as feathers before a strong wind. The Tarheel safety man tackled him perfectly on the two yard line but Ma gill's tremendous force carried them both across the line. Swink kicked a field goal exactly through the center of the uprights. The half ended a few minutes later. North Carolina tried desperately to score. Three times the Blue and White paladins thrust their way unceremonious ly to within a shadowy, infinitsimally short distance of their goal. Three times they were met by an uncompromising red-shirted wall which would allow noth ing to pass. On the fourth attempt they took the oval to the two yard line. The fourth play resulted in a touchdown. The two elevens lined up tensely waiting for the try-for-noint kick and the North state supporters groaned as the kick travelled far from its scheduled destina tion. In the final quarter, Red Swink inter cepted a pass on North Carolina's 45 yard line and reversed his .field behind good interference .for another touch downi. His kick made the score 14-6. South Carolina's teamwork won the game. The boys pulled together all through the contest. Keels and Wolfe rushed Whisnant so effectively on punts that he resorted to the safer fair catch method entirely. Captain Wingfield played his best game of the year so far. Floyd Thomas and Wolfe flashed bril lintly. Bealu outplayed the highly touted Schwartz. Bill Cooper, injured in several places from the North Carolina game, put up a courageous battle. Cooper saved a touchdown when he threw Hutchinson who had returned a punt from midfield near the goal line. Buster Holconmbe playing against hi'. hometown coll.ege made several nice tackles. Power Rodgers drove the Blue line cnsistently.
