CAROLINA TAKES
VICTORY FROM
FURMAN TEAM
Long Pass Results in Single
Touchdown of Game Giving
Close Victory
HUGE CROWD SEES GAME
Many Old Grads Witness Game
Which Brings Success Af
ter Six Years
In a game replete with thrills front
the opening minute of play to the
final whistle the Carolina Gamecocks
minimized greatly the blow of Fur
man's famous Hurricane on Melton
Field last Saturday 6 to 0.
Carolina, completely ridding herself
of old "Purple and White" jinx
that has been hovering around the
Gamecock camp for five long years,
wvent into the fray to put up a nasty
strap and not only "to fight but to
win."When the final shrill note of the
referee's whistle had rung out throtugh
the tense moments of silence, that en
thralled the crowd in the last few
minutes of play, a burst of cheers went
up from the Carolina stands, which
indicated that 'Carolina banners were
floating in victory.
The Furman team which had re
versed the Birds in five consecutive
games, trotted off the field a loser but
glorious-in defeat.
The touchdown margin came early
in the second quarter when, witl the
ball in the Birds' possession on their
own 27 yard line, Carlisle Beall step
ped back and tossed a pass to Boineau
for 43 yards, the latter receiving the
ball on Furman's 30 yard line and
dashing the remainder of the disiance
to the goal line.
After this, neither team mad' any
serious threat until the fourth quarter,
when Furman obtained the ball on her
own 45 yard line on downs. This hap
pened when Carolina failed to g. nff
a kick and the tack, attempting the
punt, was downed before he had a
chance to put his toe in it.
With the ball in Furman's posses
sion, a neat triple pass around rigjtt
end gained 18 yards, placing the ball
on the Birds' 39 yard marker. Capps
made 8 yards and Clary added first
down, moving the ball up to the 18
yard stripe. On the ne::t first and
ten, a gain by Clary and a five yard

Break Jinx
The Furman-Carolina game Saturday
was an attraction which drew large
crowds of alumni to Melton Field. Prom
inent among the old grads who witnessed
the contest were several men who had
been the centers of attraction on similar
occasions not so long ago. Many of
them were playing for the University
during the six years that the Hurricane
held the Gamecocks from victory an'l
so were doubly able to appreciate the
worth of Saturday's victory.
Bill Boyd, of Greenwood. who was
the captain of the 1926 team and all
state selection for center in that year,
watched the present edition of Carolina's
varsity march off Melton Fi-eld in tri
umph.
Frankie Meyer. of Charleston, who is
st'll remembered by the older students
of the camprs as all-state end and cap
tain in 1923, saw the team break the Fur
man jinx.
Bill Rogers, who played a stellar gam
at quarter when Boyd was captain. was
also present. He rated all state and by
some writer, all-American, in his day.
Tatum Gressette, of St. Matthews,
who is now coaching at Richmond Acad

R. E. Gressette ruin several Furman
plays. The elder Gressette once cap
tained the Gamecock team and played
