Gamecocks in Greenville Tomor
row-Expect to Break
Furman "Jinx"
.Carolina and Furman will battle to
morrow at Greenville. Manly field, sit
uated on the high hills overlookirig the
muddy Reedy will be of cynosure of all
South Carolina football eyes for one
day at least. The Gamecock's para
mount mission in the textile center is
to dispell a ubiquitous jinx whose mys
tic witchery has given them three con
iecutive years of defeat against the Pur
ple team.
In 1924, Furman made a short visit
to Columbia and remained just long
enough to carry off a 10 to 0 decision.
The following season, the Birds flew
up to Greenville and a bad pass from
center went over Bill Rogers' head and
the Hornlets recovered for a touchback;
the two points won the game. Last
year 'the old story was repeated save
that Carolina scored a touchdown and
onearly took the game. Tihe score was
ten to seven.
The 'purple paladins romped on the
Deacons of Wake Forest last Saturday,
vanquishing them 53 to 0. Furman has
only one game on the wrong side of the
record, that one being lost to Georgia
University 33 to 0. She ushered in the
present season with a crushing defeat
of the North Carolina State Wolfpack.
Later victories have been won from
Mercer, Oglethorpe, Erskine and others.
The only game by which the strength
of Carolina and Furman can be estimat
ed by direct comparative scores is that
with Erskine. Carolina defeated the
A.R.P.'s 13 to 6 in the opening contest
of the season. Three weeks ago Furman
walloped them 47 to 0.
Furman, minus the dynamic "Red"
Schnieder, who played havoc with the
Carolina defense last year, is neverthe
less considered possibly the strongest
eleven in the Palmetto state. If any
thing, the Hurricane is faster and Laval
has a better team than he did last fall.
"Whitey" Rawl is the most indispen
sable cog in the purple machine. His
position is at quarter and he is one of
the ablest field gewrals in the South.
Rawl kicks, passes, and is a veritable
"ball of fire" when he carries the oval.
Ca'ptain "Bood" Pipkins has been an
all-state man for two gridiron sessions.
He drives the line with great power.
Capps, the third memb)er of the first
string backfield, hammers through for
consisten:t gains in every game. Blount,
also, is a reliable man.
The second string set of hacks is
knowvn as the "pony backfield." Chick
Crawford, Laney, "Dooley" Hurt, and
Clary, a sophomore and a former Gaff
ney High star are the four fast men.
They did excellent work in the Erskine
game, playing almost the full game.
Laval is not so flush wvith good re
serve l:eesmen. "Bull" Perry and Mike
Byrnes, guard and tackle respectively
are being boosted for the all-state eleven.
Tngleberg, end, playing his first year on
the varsity is doing good work. Doroc,
at guard, is a dependable heavy -man.
Carolinia wvill offer most of the first
string lineup in all probability, though
some of the men have beeui hurt recently
and are not in the best of shape.
Monkey Price was limping around
with the aid of a walking cane during
the earlier 'part of the week but he has
chucked the extra support and seems to
he alright row.
Floyd Thomas and Power Rogers
h'ave been unable to participate in prac
tice all week and wi;l niot play. Several
men were sore and bruised from the
V.P.I. fracas.
The newspapers are conceding the
odds to Furman, but the Gamecocks are
goirg into the fight tomorrow to win
and they will have the backing of a fair
part of the student body who are plan
ning to be in Greenville for the game.

AN ITEM in a local paper carried the
following line in referenice to the
snake dance staged Monday uight:
"About 150 men attended, about 90
per cent of them being freshmen."
A story a day later maintains that
there were 145 rals and five upper
classmen. While it is realized that
these statements were uttered in a
satirical mood-were they exactly
fair criticisms? To the best of our
knowledge (and we have the ad
vantage of being intimately affiliated
with the larger part of the stuuents)
more than half of the body was
composed of upper classmen.
-- NEPO -
IT IS TRUE that it was npt a very
large representation. But consider
the time-eleven o'clock. It is not
the easiest thing in the world to
drag men out of bed for a celebra
tion. And this was the first of the
series of late-hour snake-dances
which are to be given during the
week. This meeting was impromp
tu and until the hour at which it
took place few knew about it.

CAROLINA has been supporting a los
ing team rather well all season
Those who have attended small col
ieges where it is easy to assemble
the whole student body, think it
exhibits a poor spirit when a large
school with many co-eds and town
students does not do likewise. Con
structive criticism is welcome if
presented in a manner that does not
allpear to be "knocking."

CAROLINA meets a strong foe tomor
row afternoon at Manly Field-an
enemy who is doped to win. But
Carolina is not out of the running
hy any means. The Gamecocks are
not going to admit they are beaten
until the referee has tooted his little
horn for the last time. Coach
Lightsey probably has something up
his sleeve to aid in taming those
wild Hornets.

LAST YEAR'S track letter men were
the happy recipients the other day
of small gold track shoes wh;ch
were presented as a reward for
their labors. rhey are monogramed
with the varsity C and the wearers
name is engraved on the heel. This
is the first time that such trophies
have beeil given. Sweaters were
awarded before.

A'TLETICS. from a financial standpoint.
are on a firm, substantial basis at
Carolina. The credit to wvhomi this
is largely due is James G. Driver,
Director of Student Activities. Thie
various teams are well equipped and
are we'll cared for on trips. Mr.
Driver has been at Carolina several
years and he has alwvays kept things
running smoothly.

crutches. It is good to see the "race
horse of the gridironi" well again.

ZOBEL PLAYS GOOD GAME
V.P.I. Piles up 35 lo 0 Score on
Carolina Eleven-Many
on Injured List
Virginia Polytechnic Institutes vaunt
ed Pony Express galloped over Caro
lina at Richmond last Saturday and de
feated them by the largest score that
the Garnet and Black eleven has suf
fered in many years. Mattox, Peake.
Rule, and McIver made up the "four
horseman" backfield which ran wild
in the last half.
South Carolina fought stubbornly
during the first half and were only
seven points behind when the inter
mission came. Zobel played brilliant
football dur'ng this period, makintg
many tackles. He was forced from the
field in the third quarter after making
a fierce, driving tackle of Peake on the
seven yard line. Peake was finishing .
48 yard run when the fleet Carolina
half brought him to earth and probab
!y saved a score.
The Gobblers scored early in th,:
game when Mattox shot over righ'.
tackle for 40 yards and a touchdown.
Peake kicked the extra point and the
count was seven to nothing.
In the second half, the Gobbler backs
began a whirlwind offens:ve and scored
five touchdowns. Peake, Tomko, and
McIver altei-nated in advancing the
oval by long clips up the gridiron.
Peake scored twice.
Early in the final quarter, V. P. .
made her last score. Rule and Tomk.
hiammered the line and Tiomko finished
the dIrive wvith a fifteen yard crash
over tackle which was good for the
'vhmole (distanice. South Carolina wasi
offside and the Gobblers acquired the
extra point without further effort. This
w~as the second time that they were
tendleredl a p)oint in fhis manner.
Carolina attempted to score by the
aerial route in the final minutes, Wing
field on the throwing end. McArthur
intercep)tedl one of the passes and ran
60 yards to the goal line but was called
back as the referee dlee-r-ed that he
stepped out of biounds shortly after
catching the pass.
Despite the aspect that the one-sided
score gives, the Gamecocks put up a
good game. They fought hard all dur
ing the contest.
