FURMA WINS ANNUAL GAME DECISIVELY Purple Hurricane Machine Blows Over Gamecocks for Big Victory SIX TOUCHDOWNS MADE Carolina Puts Up Hard Fight but Fails to Stem the Purple Tide Furman's crashing "eight cylinder backfield" was too much for the Game cocks last Saturday and piled up the largest score on the Birds since the an nual Furmat-Carolina series was begun in 1919. Carolina 'ppt up a dogged de fense and the Purple team was forced to carry the ball by slow degrees to make nearly every touchdown. Six men scor ed to make the final count 34 to 0. The glittering Rawl ebbed through the alert Gamecock defensive line time and again. In the second quarter the verulent Yates Laney supplanted Cap tain Pipkins and he vied with the fast twisting quarter in snaking over tacide and around the erids. Carolina got the first break and took it. It was halted on Carolina's 37 yard line when Blount fumbled. Wingfield showed rare generalship by dropping back to quickly to purt when Rawl was out of place, evidently expecting a pass. The oval rolled out of bounds on Fur man's 22 yard mark, Capas and Blount hit the line for steady gains and regis tered two first downs. Rawl was thrown for a 9 yard loss when, he attempted to pass. On the next play he twisted off tackle and was down the field for 35 yards before being caught from behind by Zobel. The Purple Hurricane became a stiffer breeze than ever at this point and started their initial successful touchdown march. A triple pass-Pipkins to Capps to Rawl netted a couple of yards and put Furman six yards from the coveted goal. Ptakins could not even make a dent in the big red line on the next play. Blount crashed over guard for six yards and on the next play made the touch down. Emmett Wingfield, determined to avenge the first Hornet score nearly succeeded in scoring himself shortly af ter the next kickoff. He received Rawl's punt in midfield and glided around most of the Furman team. He had travelled 33 yards when a purple-jersied tackle at last brought him to earth. This put the Gamecocks in a position to score and the Furman stands were getting figity. A lateral pass with Wingfield ora the final receiving end took the Garnet and Black eleven three yards nearer the goal. Two passes. were grounded and the referee paced off a five yard penalty. Wingfield kicked a high pun,t and it drojtped outside fifteen yards down the field and very near the Furman goal line. Three more plays were tried by the Hornets for unimportant gains be fore RawI kicked out of danger. The Purp'e Hurricane opened a drive in full fury before the half ended. Capps was the only member of the backfield who was unable to gain. Billy Laval in jected Laney and the white haired, hard hitting Florence boy tootk a seat on the bench. Blounit, Laney and Pipkins rip ped off long gains and in short order made another touchdown. Mike Byrnes kicked a perfect goal and the score was 14 to 0. Furman made a third strong effort to score after this but the half saved Carolina. Laval substituted second and third string backs in the final quarter but they were not able to make very much head Way. During this period Carolina had her best chanee to scate'when IHiza took a 25 yard pass and only the safety man anid an interference runner were In his Way to the goal. Crawford dived over the interference mnap uoFever ,and caught liza.

BALLENGER, Editor I NKPOT ONLY two more games are on the foot ball menu for the remainder of the 1927 series. One of these is the freshman fracas at Gainesville, Flor ida, with the Uriversity of Florida, tomorrow. 'lihe other is the varsity North Carolina State game here or Turkey day. -INKOT - NINETEEN hundred and twenty-seven has not been a successful season for the Gamecocks from a standpoint of games won. But it has rtot been a failure. If every man does his best and the team fights to the last ditch, victory is not the main thing. The Carolina Gamecocks never laid down --they did their best every time. -INKPO HARRY LIGHTSEY, in his first year of college coaching experiene, had a difficult problem on his hands. Smit ten by adverses from the time before the regular season began, the varsity rarely experienced a game when less than two or three first string men were either out entirely or not able to play more than a part, of the game. The student body has been behind Coach Lightsey from the be ginning and still is. - INAO - THE GAME with N. C. State is a con ference struggle. The Wolfpack has an old score to wipe out (at least they will try to erase it.) Car olina trampled them last year the Saturday before Thanksgiving but not before a good hard battle. The contest consisted mostly of an aerial duel between Bill Rogers and Jack MacDowell-two of the finest 'ass ers in the South. - INEOT BY THE WAY-this same Jack Mc Dowell will exhibit his wares here again Thanksgiving. He is a speed merchant of the rarest variety and he hurls passes of amazing length with deadly accuracy. Jack has been burning the Southern pines up all season and is headed in the di rection of the All-Southern eleven. -INKPO CAPTAIN Emmett Wingfield did some mighty fine work in the Furman fra cas. He returned a punt for a long gain after the two teams lined up following the Hornet's initial touch down. It was the longest run made by a Caorlina player during the contest. - INEPOT GEORGE Keels and Bill Cooper were Carolina's chief defensive bulwarks. Keels was hard for the Hurricane interference to knock out of the way and he Beeped through many times Sto make hard, driving tackles. Coop Will Be at the IMP Monday and Tude STETSON D.

Invite Yc To: . ---E YOUR SMALL B1 Carolina Rats to Play Florida Frosh Stoney's Men Close Season at Gainesvile Tomoww Afternoon The Carolina freshman eleven en trained last night for Gainesville, Fla., where they will meet the rat team of the University of Florida tomorrow afternoon. A hectic season has been the lot of the Biddies. They have played only state teams so far and have a percen tage of .500, having won from Wofford and the Citadel, and losing to the Clem son Tiger Cubs and the Little Wind from Furman. Coach Stoney and Manager "Swat'' Cowan were in charge of the squad.

Davis, and J. Davis. usc Furman Men Take Cross Country Meet Furman kept up her record no de feats for last week-end when her var sity cross-country runners beat out the Carolina men by a score of 11 to 4. Vincent of Furman was the first mab to cross the finish line, being only a few steps ahead of Gene Keels, captain of the Garnet and Black track team. Dean Garrison and Bristow, all of Fur man followed in ordel. The Carolina cross-country squad will probably not engage in any more meets this fall but will continue train ing for the spring track season. er, not in the best of condition, was still hitting the line and tackling with full fury through the final quarter. -- INM - THE CROSS-country meet was not handled as well as it might have ben. 'here was no one on hand to give the runners an official start and a bystander had to be drafted for tI purpose. When the first men entered the gate they had trouble getting through the crowd. -INEPo - THE BIDDIES played loose football in the closing minutes of the Furman game and allowed victory to, slip away on the wings of the long Hur ricane passes. They are going to make that up in the game with the Florida Rats tomorrow. -usc "Why do you call your girl Dan druff?" "'Cause she is always falling on my neck."
