MATERIAL FOR FRESHMAN TEAM BEST IN YEARS The Best Athletes From Various Academies All Over South PRACTICES STRENUOUS Coach Norman Scrimmages Frosh First Day Without Shoul der Pads Billy Laval's reputation as a coach and a campaign by alumni has brought to Carolina some of the best football material in the South. These freshmen are men recognized as exceptional play ers in their respective communities. Most of them are from the most prom inent preparatory and high schools and many were all-state or all southern. At the first of the season about 85 candidates were out for practice. In the weeding out process about 35 or 40 re main and these are put through hard daily practice and probably a few more will be dropped. There is the very keen est rivalry for a berth on the freshman team as it appears, with one or two ex ceptions, that every man now on the squad is a first class player. With this bright outlook for a championship team of freshmen, our prospects for an even greater varsity next year are certain. The best looking thing that has hit the Carolina campus in the way of fresh men athletes are the two Skinner boys. Both of these boys played on the 1927 Oak Ridge (N.C.) Preparatory team. This team was unbeaten last year and this pair of 210 pound tackles stopped everything they went qp against. They also were letter men in two other sports. Powell, weighing 190 pounds is a triple threat quarterback from the Woodrow Wilson High School at Portsmouth, Va. In practice he does everything that can be done with a football. His passing is good for distance and accuracy. A receiver for Powell's passes is De Vaughn. He not only can receive them but is a fine defensive man as well. Stockily built and weighing 190 pounds, he has all the speed necessary to make good varsity material next year and all he needs is a chance at that vacant end. lRichardson, a Columbia High product, will have a chance at the other end. Among the backs that are above fresh man average is Viniang. This fast back is from the Fort Valley, Ga., high school. Weighing 172 pounds, he specializes in end runs. Larry Faith, of Riverside Academy, i-s perhaps the flashiest back the freshmen boast. At Riverside he starred as a powverful line driver and a crack defen a eman. Quattlebaum, another Colum Sboy, showed his speed last spring <*pturing the 440, 220 and 100 yard dashes in the State High School track haiet. He is out for one of the back pos itions. Culp, from the crack Lancaster high schoool, is showing up well in the ds#1y practices. Duke, of Orangeburg, was mentioned on the all-southern team HARRY WOLF Wolf'proved a good mant in the big game by continually battering the op ponent, line fromn end to end. PORT ED ZOBEL Ed needs no identification. Everyone remembers him as the only scorer of the Chicago game, as well as his ex ceptional good' playing throughout. Gamecocks Will Use Chicago Line-up Sat. Birds Will Attempt To Get Vic tory Over Virginia By Us ing Same Men The same line-up which started the game against the University of Chicago last Saturday which resulted in a notable victory for the University of South Car olina Gamecocks, will start against the University of Virginia Cavaliers At Charlottesville, Va., next Saturday af ternoon, October 6, Coach Billy Laval announced today. Only two substitutions were made dur ing the Chicago game by Coach Laval and the team came through the grueling battle with the westerners in great shape. Zobel, the fleet halfback who scored the winning touchdown, was slightly hurt during the game but will be able to start against Virginia Saturday. Carlisle Beall, big fullback who is playing his first year on the varsity, came through in great shape Saturday. Beall, who was ranked as one of the greatest prep school players ever pro duced in the stated is expedted to be a power on both offense and defense in all games played by the Gamecocke. His brother, Julian Beall, also played a whale of a game at center Saturday. The Gamecocks took the Virginians into camp last year in Charlottesville, so that the sons of the Old Dominion will be out to get revenge this year. "Let them try and get it" is the feeling of the average supporter of the Gamecocks. As for Coach Laval, he is as mute as last year. His former record speaks for .tself. Morrison, an all-state half from New port News is making a bid for his ac eustom position that can't be taken awvay from him. Swartz, an all-Jersey tackle, weighs '90 pounds, and is plenty fast for his il2e. Bill Brigham another Riverside star is trying for the center position. Bomar * nd Corrall are his chief opposition. V.add(y and Rowland are the strongest contenders for guards. lEddy was cap lain of the Florence high school eleven *ast year. licks is a pluniging fullback carrying 175 pounds against a line. Coach Norman has put these fre'shmen .hrough a toughening process that will make iron men out of them. iIe had a wchimmage the first (lay of practice and( *ias continued dloing so nearly every day. I'he. scrimmages wvere done without any ulhoulder p)ads, as they were only givena .dt Fridlay. T~he freshmen state that they like the zoaches, the officials. and the students. l'hey say they hav'e been given the v'ery tbest of treatment andl think that the Uni versity is the only school in the wvorld. 'Watch that freshman team win th .state championship. Carolina Rivals Look Good In Last Games Clemson And Furman Win Their Games By Superior Foot Ball The next team on schedule is the Un iversity of Virginia next Saturday. Vir ginia ran over Randolph-Macon to the tune of 50-0, and made 25 first downs. Virginia is featuring a 128-poruid half back named Hayden, who is a broken field artist that is hard to catch. Furman, another one of our rivals, upset the dope bucket and scored the only tally in a game against the Duke University Blue Devils. Duke was dop ed to win by two touchdowns but the fast charging Furman line kept the backs from getting started. Fur man's score was the result of a forward pass, since they were nat able to go through the line. The Furman fans are pleased with the showing of the Purple Hurricane and it seems that they may have some other surprises before the sea son is over. Clemson is perhaps the strongest team the Gamecocks will have to go up against this year. They defeated the strong Davidson team 6-0 Saturday on Riggs field after meeting with the most stub born resistance. Asbill made the only score by receiving a pass while standing behind his own goal line. There was no doubt of Clemson's superiority over the Wildcats and they were never in danger of being scored on. Bob McCarley, last years' stellar back, and his running mate McMillan tore through the opposing line for good gains. '1he meeting of Clem son and the DEFEATERS OF CHI CAGO will take place on October 25th, at Columbia. P.C. lost her opening game to Mercer Friday but she should have won. P. C. has a fast aggregation and will furnish tough resistance to the Gamecocks. The Citadel has not yet opened her season and there is much speculation as to her strength. Reports from the Bull dog camp give them the best team they have had in many years. ever when it comes to talking about what .the team is going to do. The only pre diction he will ever make about a game is that his team will be in there fighting to the last. That was all that he said about the Chicago game in advance nd that is all he will say about-the Virginia game. CARLISLE iBEALL This Gamecock did his part in pav ing the way for the only touchdown of the game, which brought his team, victory. MOTIOR CUACH- Si'A(vJCis COL,UMBIA TO (RIEENV'ILL.iC Lv.
