South Carolina fought the Wolfpack Dowell, who has been going like a house afire against every team th it North Carolina has met this season was turned inside repeatedly on attempted end das,hes and was rushed when he dropped back to pass so quickly that he rarely found his mark. In the last half, however, he was dynamite plus. The Thanksgiving Day game with the Wolfpack marked the end of the grid iron careers of the following Game cock players: Captain Wingfield, quar ter; Floyd Thomas, tackle; Buster Hol combe, end; Monkey Price, guard; and Red Swink, halfback. Swink kicked off to Crum on the 14 yard line to open the game, who re turned 20 yards. Crum and Warren pounded the line for small gains whje all eyes were turned gn the great Mc Dowell. North Carolina was penalized for holding and set back 15 yards. McDowall punted to Wingfield on Ca rolina's 34 yard line. Neither team was able to make much headway during the earlier part of the fracas and both the Carolina and State backs felt stubborn line resistence. The Wolfpack made a dangerous ef fort to score a few minutes after the opening whistle when Wingfield was thrown two yards from his own goal line after a long, rolling kick by Mc Dowall. The Gamecock quarter's punt was partially blocked and North Caro lina State recovered on Carolina's 15 yard line. The Gamecocks were pre pared to make a desperate stand but things looked dark when Warren ac counted for nine yards in two, plays. Billy Cooper knocked Warren for a loss on the third down and a pass on the fourth fell flat. North Carolina scored first on the fukiest of flukes. The visitors had the ball on Carolina's 46 yard line. Mc Dowall took the ball from center an-i the Gamecock tackles chased him far back of the scrimmage line before he could get in position to throwv the oval. It was a magnificent- pass and landed in the miids't of a group of Carolina and State players. They all jumped at it at one time andl when it returned eastward, it fell into the arms of a North Carolina man and he in turn, fell across the goal line. Adams elect ed to pass instead of kick the touch down but it flew wvide. Carolina received the next kickoff and returned to the 35 yard line. Zo bel threw a long pass to Keels who was tackled from behind by Warren, 25 yards from Carolina's goal. The Game cocks lost their best chance of the gan'e to score when Wingfield fumbled and North Carolina recovered on the 24 yard line. The first quarter ended. The second quarter was scoreless andl only marked the beginning of North Carolina State's superb passing attack which was to be the ultimate downfall of the Gamecocks. Crum. and McDowalt The mighty McDowall was not the only finbly back that the Wolf pack could boast. He was the outstanding man but the slippery little Crum vied with him for superior honors and ran a close second. Number '550" was a constant threat on his eel-like around end sprints. Warren also crashed through many times. Crum and McDowall were poison on nmaking first downs in the third and fourth periods and the latter usually PORT E. W. BALLENGER, Editor INKPOT "FINALE" has been written across the dropped curtain closing the gridiron season of 1927. Five men turned ki their football togs for the last time when the North Carolina State game was over. And as the retreating gridiron appa*ritions of today rapid. iy become the ghosts of yesteryear. we beginv to look forward to 1928 prospects. - INKOM ON PAPERr-providing, of course, that the calculated full strength will be on the field next year-prospects are very bright. The team loses heavily in linesmen but gains in its backfield material. -INEOT JACK McDowall played a mighty fine game yesterday even if he didn't make any abnormally long runs as the fans were expecting him to. His work consisted mainly of hurling 'nasses and he did that part nobly. -INKPOT McDOWALL was probably being saved for a bigger game than N. C. State had on her schedule this fail. He is one of the men, who have b,cen picked on the all-conference squad to play Carifornia in a South-West struggle which comes late in De cember.

University to Play Chicago Next Year South Carolina wil; play the Uaiver sity of Chicago, in Chicago, on Septem ber 29, 1928. This was announced rec ently by James G. Driver, director of student activities. Earlier in the present season, Caro lina was offered a game by the Army eleven. It was turned down. This is the first instance in which South Caro lina has ever signed for an intersectional game. Trhe if,earest approach to an in tersectional contest was that with the United States Naval academy which wvas played several years ago. Annapolis, where the Naval academy is located, borders on the Mason and Dixon line, and is really considered a Southerrn i stituttion. Last year, Carolina was offered a game by Chicago, one of Stagg's scouts having been impressed by Carolina's showing against Maryland in last year's game vhich the Gamecocks wor, 12 to 0. A (late could not be arranged and Carolina was forced to let the opportunity slip, 'rhis year the offer wvas renewed and ended by slinging a long pass to finish the dIrive. Evans and Jordon received passed to score touchdowns in the third quarter and it ended 20 to 0 in N. C.'s favor. In the final quarter, North Carolina met dogged opposition, but scored two more touchdowns and also adding the extra points: The courageous Bill Cooper was forc ed from the game in the last quarter when he slid off Jordan after making an unsuccessful effort to tackle. Coop er played a fine game until he was com pelled to retire. 'Emmett Wingfield punted nicely and his kicks rivalled those of McDowell. George Keels played the best defen sive football of the game. He also re ceived Carolina's lngest pass. FLORIDA RATS TRIM BIDDIES IN LAST GAME Carlisle Beall Is Carolina Star in Spectacular Battle at Gainesville TWO TOUCHDOWN MARGIN Red Bethea, Florida Halfback, Runs 70 Yards for Touchdown In the most spectacular and thrilling contest that Gainesville has witnessed this season, the University of Florida freshmen outpointed the Biddies 27 to 12. last Saturday on Fleming field. Before four minutes of the game had passed into history, Red Bethea, steilar Florida halfback intercepted a Game cock pass on his own 30 yard line and sprinted 70 yards for a touchdown. The Biddies rceeived to begin the battle and as usual, managed to get away with the celebrated Beall to Boineau opening pass. It gained 28 yards. Another first down put the Caro!ina team within sight of the goal line but Bethea interposed his bulk between one of Bea's flings and the calculated receiver and made a long run for a touchdown. He added the extra oint also. 'ilhe 'Gators countered again before the initial quarter ended, Sauls, Fiorida back, returned a Carolina punt 45 yardj to the* Biddies' 22-yard mark and four plays were sufficient to take it across. Sauls lugged it over and Bethea kicked goal. Taking the kickoff following the second Fiorida touchdown, Blount gal loped 45 yards. Two first downs put the Carolina team on the 25 yard line. The young 'Gators held for downs. On the second play, Florida fumbled. Car olina recovered on the 'Gators 24 yard mark. In three downs the Biddies lost six yards, but Captain Beall made one of his characteristic spicy end dashes un the fourth and ran fo- 20 yards. With a yard to go on the final down, Edens, en a simp;e fake, skirted right end for a touchdown. After intercepting Bethea's pass in midfield, the Carolina freshmenj pounded !heir way to the 14 yard line but fum hkd. Florida began a march up field and accounted for four consecutive first downs before the half was ended. In the third period, the young 'Gators made a 55 yard drive for their third touchdo'wn. Receiving the kick-off, Beall luwted. Bethea passed on the initial play a ten yard heave to Nolan, and the oid Duval high star galloped down the gridiron for another touch down.

Carolina once more threatened before the game ended b ut was haltedl when a Fhiroda back interceptedl a pass. Reall was the most ontstanding player of the contest from the Riddie's point o)f view. Bethea was the main cog in the 'Gators offense. seed any help, mister? Yeh! Keep the rest of the mnotorists from asking mue if I need any help. CAPT.
