BIRDS PRAISED FOR CONDUCT AT WINDY CITY Many Letters Show Favorable Impression Made on Chicago Spectators MANY MESSAGES SENT Wilds and Evans Were Joint Hosts at Dinner Party For Carolina Players The trip to Chicago by the Game cock team did something else other than win a very important intersectional clash over a much larger school. It ad vertised the University of South Car olina as represented by the squad that made the trip and the advertising was of the highest possible order, as wit nessed by the letters received since then. The letters addressed to Jimmy Driver from d?fferent firms and individuals of Chicago, give the Carolina boys sincere compliments on their being the most perfect of gentlemen. On the train going up the porter of the Gamecock car told a reporter in Wash ington that he had never, in all his ca reer, portered for a finer crew. of gen tlemen. Other people who came in con tact with them passed many complimen tary remarks on their behavior all along the trip. After returning to Columbia, several voluntary letters were received, adding to the credit of Carolina. Among the most outstanding is one from F. H. Sweeney, who is manager of the Coop er-Carlton Hotel, in which the team stopped while in Chicago. He con gratulated the Gamecocks on their vic tory and makes this statement in addi tion: "It was indeed a pleasure to us to have your team with us, especially young men of the caliber such as they were. I only hope that our future experience with athletic teams will be as wonder ful and high class as otir dealings have been with you." Another letter from an alumnus, J. L. Wilds, now of Chicago, who played on the team with those great ends, Ralph Foster and "Doug" McKay several years back, says: "You certainly have a crowd, of gen tlemanly boys on the team and they are a credit to any institution." .+ir. Wilds and Mr. Evans, a Citadel graduate, were joint hosts to the team at a dinner party at the exclusive Union Leage Club, followed by a theatre party. Shirt Tail Paraders Celebrate Va. Game The student body turned out in full force for the shirt tail parade, Saturday night, in celebration of the thrilling vic tory over the Virginia Cavaliers. Traffic wvas stopped for probably two hours wvhile the students did their stuff on the main thoroughfare of the city of Colum bia. Assembling about seven o'clock in front of the chapel, the Gamecock sep p)orters marchied up Sumter street, cut through at Gervais and continued north on Main. Extra precaution was takeni by the stu.. dents to p)revent antagonistic annoyances from the cops, so a rope was used to frus'trate wvhat "might have been" an at tempt to break the li-ne. Quite dismay cd, the police placed the "billies" by their sidles and, in meek observation, reclined pecacefutlly against the corner ash cans, while the parade contimved uninterrupt ed. Led by Nigel League, the Gamecocks, joined by students from the High School gave cheers for both daily newspapers, Coach Laval, the team, Edwin Zobel,.and Dr. D. M. Douglas, president of the Uni versity PORT Gamecocks Acclaim | Returning Players League Leads March of Victory 2 Back to Historic Campus Shaking off the effects of a hectic night of victory-celebration, about three hundred and fifty students braved the "early Sunday hours" to greet the triumphant Gamecocks from their sut cessful invasion of Virginia, as they alighted from the train in Union station at 9145 a. m. The occasion marked the' second glor ious return within eight days, of Caro lina's great eleven, from conquered enemy territory. The gallant Gamecocks who snatched victory fro .. defeat' were greeted with tumultous cheers as they made their exit from the train. Coach Billy Lavall made a hasty disappearance when the crowd closed ;n to get a glimpse of the mentor who uirected his team to a wonderful triumph. As each player was given a "big hand" Cheerleader League led the crowd in cheers for the gridiron stalwarts, af ter which the Birds came up the hill in the "victory-march" back to the "ol' campus." + Usc 'GA MECOCKS NOW LOOK TO GAME WITH MARYLAND Wait for Old Liners After Tuck ing Away Victories Over Chicago, Erskine and Virginia WHIPPED LAST SATURDAA U.N.C. Delivers KnockrOut Punch to Coach Byrd's With the University of Virginia Cav aliers added to their list of victims, now numbering three-Chicago, Erskine and1 Virginia-the University of South Caro lina Gamecocks today turned their thoughts to next Saturday's battle with the University of Maryland, which will be staged here. The victory over Virginia clearly demonstrated to the 8,000 people who saw the game and to the countless num ber of others who followed the play that the Gamecocks have a wonderful football team-one that cannot be counted as whipped until the game is over. Thrice the team came from behind in the Vir ginia game and finally in the fourth quarter demonstrated its superiority in no uncertain terms. The game with the Old Liners from Maryiand on Saturday is expected to draw the largest crowd to Melton Field that has ever yet witnessed a game there. The wonderful showing of the Game cocks has whetted the enthusiasm of the football fans of South Carolina and a midtitude of fanis will undoubtedly see the clash with Maryland. It is generally recognized that any football team is liable to suffer a "let down ;" in other words it cannot go at top speed all of the time. There were fears on the part of many Carolina supporters that this "let-down" would come last Saturday following the Chi cargo game. But it did not. Now thev are feai-ful lest it come next Saturday' against Maryland. On paper the Gamecocks appear to be the favorites. The defeat which North Carolina handed Maryland may, how ever, serve to make the Old Liners an even more dangerous foe and then it is geInerally recognized that North Carolina also has a great team this year. Fur thermore the Tar Heels did not have any too impressive margin of victory as the score of 26 to 19 disclosed. The Gatnecooks came through the Vir ginia game in fair shape. Capt. Cooper was qui;te gainf-ully injured but. will probably be in sape fo.. Sa.turda' BIDDIES OPEN SEASON WITH P. C. FRESHMEN Will Meet "Miniature Hose" o Clinton Field For First Game Friday NO LINE-UP ANNOUNCEE Coach Norman Sees Bright Pros. pects With Plenty Material at Hand With the opening game scarcely week away, the Freshman football ma terial is rapidly being whipped int shape under the tutelage of Coach Nor man. Although no predictions are in th< air the freshman mentor states that he doesn't see why the "Young Game. cocks" can't develop into a "fighting ma chine" with the material at hand. The prospects this year appear brightei than usual and it seems that the tean bids fair to furnish tough going for th< opponents listed on the schedule. Num erous of the former high school stars with ambition in their veins, are mak. ing strencous efforts to see that their scintillating careers will not lie burie< in days of yore but continue up<n the gridirons in the collegiate ranks. Under Coach Norman the "Young Birds" have an excellent opportunity to get started on the path to stardom, for the sport fans are quite familiar with the successful record hung up at Furman By the Biddies present tutor. Such well known "pig-skin toters" as "White. Rawl and "Red" Schneider got their be ginning under Norman,during the latter's five year coaching career at the Baptist instituption. The Freshman prospects are beinm initiated into the Laval tactics" and, al though some are finding the "shift' quite difficult to master, it's a certain fa that when the season ends and the Bid. dies find themselves graduated to the varsity that, by that time, they will no have gotten into the habit of mistak ing the "crazy quilt" for an orienta blanket. The P. C. "Miniature Hose" loom th< tirst opposition and the young Chicks wi.I imvade Clinton with the intention of "rolling 'em down a knotch," next Fri day, in the race for the old State rag. As yet to line-up has been given out as there are a number of good men foi each position, which makes it difficult t, pick the squad that will start the open ng game. However, it is expected tha the .ine-up) will be chosen from the fol owmng men: L. E. DeVarghn, Richards Cohen, L. T. Skinner, Hughey, Bostick L. G. Eaddy, Taylor, Sikes, Morgan, C Correll, Brigham, Bomnar, R. G. Rowlard Smith, Calahan, Cunningham, R. T e'kinn~er, Adair, Watson, R. E. Powel' Stork and Douglas. Tffhe backs for th openirg whistie will likely be foun. among these men: Fath, Jeffords, Brails ford, Quattlebaum at Quarter; Hicks Wylie, Vinning, Cliffords at left half Parker, Vaughn at right half ; Morriso, Culp and Blount at the full back position On to Clinton, Biddies, and brinig home 1 souvenir pair of "Threadbare BIu, Sox I game.
