Associated Press Writer Spec
ializes In Southern Conference
Sees Carolina's Progress
STANDS HIGH IN SOUTH
South Carolina Team Second to
Georgia Tech in Conference
Race
George C. Renegar, the most out
standing sports writer of the Associated
Press, is specializing in the southern
conference teams this year and by close
ly following the various teams has per
haps a more accurate knowledge and un
derstanding of them, than any other
writer. He has followed Carolina's rise
in the football world with an unprejud
iced eye and is qualified to compare them
accurately with other conference elevens.
Renegar reported the Carolina-Virginia
game, therefore he has also seen them
in action and since then has been un
stinted in his praise.
In a recent article sent out to all sec
tions of the country by the Associated
Press he states that Carolina has one of
the best teams in the Southern Confer
ence, particularly praising the flashy
backfield. He classes the first group in
the order named : Georgia Tech, Ala
bama, South Carolina, Florida and Geor
gia as having the most high-powered
backfields in the con ference.
He also says: "For sheer running
power and all arot-nd versatility the
Gamecocks, the Tornado, the Crimson
Tide and Georgia Bull-Dogs seem to
have the decided edge. They each have
several real triple-threat men and a
number of dangerous open field runners
and line plungers-combinations that al
ways carry a team to the front.
"To briefly survey, a turn to the
Gamecocks is not amiss. Billy Laval
has in Eddie Zobei, 150 pout:d half-back,
one of the greatest all-around stars in
the history of the Dixie gridiron. He
can punt well, pass, dropkick, kick from
placement, rt n with great speed and
sidestep and reverse a field as well as
back up a line.
In addition to this phenoninal back,
I,aval has Carlisle lieall, former prepar
atory school star, who is one of the out
stia ding passers of the conference and
also runs and punts.
"Then there is also Wimberly, a run
ning anl ph ngi.g back, and a player that
picks holes quickly, Hei is e'usive on a
broken field andl can also punitt well anc
Of the outstanding teams mentioned
by Renegar, Alabama is the only one de
feated as yet. The tide wyas stopped by
an upset game against Tlennesee Satt r
(lay. Tech cont inue:l her march by a
win over Notre Dame. Georgia nosed
out Furman: by a lone touchdowvn and
the Gators whi-pped Mercer 73 to 0.
Georgia Tech seems to have a slight
edlge on all con ference teams so far with
South Carolina running a close second
Tech should cap)ture the Georgia game
this year, and that leaves Florida the
other udefeated team, if she in turn can
overcome the Btulldogs and Tennesee. If
Carolina does not w.n the southern con
ference title, if it is settled, she will wind
up her season a very close runner uip.

ternoon
Coach Norman's Biddies, after a
week of hard scrimmage work and
sigral drills, are all set to reverse the
Tiger Cubs of Clemson College oni
Melton Field tomorrow afternoon.
The Clemson first year mcn are ex
pected to present a strong aggregation,
having defeated Erskine and the Uni
versity of Georgia pups in consecutive
wins. The Young Gamecocks have
tested their strength but once, trounc
ingg the "Blue Hose" of Presbyterian
Collnee by the "track meet" score of
?6 to 0.
S"veral sh'fts are likely to occur in
the fiddie line-up this week. De.
Vauchn has been moved over to tackle
from his left end post and Hughey has
been transferred to one of the wing
nositions. The backfield remains in
tact and, asi'le from the changes
mentiored, the line-up for the gan
will be practically the same as the one
that started against the Presbyterians.
Biddies. give us a good "preliminary"
to the annual "Gamecock-Tiger" clash

The boxing team, under the direc

fine style and shows promise of hav

Wednesday and Friday, and the other
on Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday
of each week. The squad will prob
ably 'be cut at a later date.
Keels. Pritchard and Hatchett are
howing up splendidly in the light
heavyweight class. The latter now
weighs 169 pounds, but will fight as a
middle weight if he can reduce to 164
pounds. If he can do this, Charl'e
Gorman's place on last year's team
will be satisfactorily filled. Lumian

for the second t'me in the light-weight
class. Craven, who is t)eing depende-l
