LITTLE BREEZE TEARS THROUGH BIDDIES' LINE Chicks Blown Down Field By Ever Increasing Junior Cyclone BY LARGE SCORE OF 39 TO 0 Not able to cope with the whirl win-i Attack of Furman's "Little Breeze," the ->iddies succumbed when the "wind" reached cyclonic proportions to blow the Chicks homeward on the short end of .s 39 to 0 score. Only once. in the third quarter, were he Biddies in scoring distance. A pass md a long run put the ball on the 30 yard line but it never got any farther. After this the birds were on the de fensive. The gaining done by them was usually deep in their own territory. Passes galore were thrown, most of them beirg grounded. The backs and ends seemed unable to get their hands on the elusive pigskin. Take out Pearson, Furman's "long horn" from Texas, who proved poison for the Chicks, and a good game would have been the result. His change of pace and dazzling foot-work was too much of a handicap for the Chicks to overcome. Dukes played his usual pretty game, as did Brigham and Culp. The Birds played to the bitter end but the line could not stand the hard punishment which told on the team as the game wore on. Furman worked 15 first downs to Carolina's 8. Lineup and summary.

Main Drag is Scene Of Parade Saturday The shirt tail paraders, under he lead ership of Cr rtis Brock, took Columbia's Main thoroughfare and painted it "all up" in red Saturday night, after Caro lina's Gamecocks had blown Furman's "little b)reeze" back to Greenville w'th thte small endl of a 6 to 0 score. Tlhe event was the first of its kind since the celebration of the Marylard victory; but, Carolina students made up for "lost time" and showed the people on the streets the art of staging a real parade. L,eaving the University chapel shortly after 7:00 o'cloc', the serenaders made the'r way to Main Street and "employ ing the services" of a rope with which to ward off traffic, continued north as aras Laurel. Here the course wvas re versed, the parade ending at the capitol where cheers were given for the team, after which the crowd dispersed. "BRU" BOINEAU Who was on receiving end of Beall's heave and scored winning touchdown. The Fog REVENGE COMES SWEET after five long years of waiting. Carolina's banners were hoisted to the top rung last Saturday, when the Gamecocks trotted off the field with six golden points to Furman's none. THE WHOLE "DAMN" TEAM play ed excellent football, every member on the squad performing in top-notch style. If stars were to be picked, the entire eleven would be chosen. FURMAN'S WEAVE SHIFT could "weave" fairly well but it wasn't so hot at "shifting"-at least, it couldn't shift well enough to cope with Laval's "crazy quilt." BEALL TO BOINEAU, by the aerial route, for 43 yards did the work. It was the greatest heave seen on Melton Field since the days of Bill Rogers. THE MIGHTY HURR*CANE march ed off the field in a whisper after the final minute had been played. Don't suppose there were many bells rtng in Greenville when the score was received. BRU IOINEAU, who in the North Carolina game illustrated the art of punting a wet and dry football alike, dug his toe into the old pigskin fo big yardage quite a number of times, not to mention the gainis he made in running back punts. CAROLINA DEMONSTRATED her1 superior.'ty by holding the "tiny zepher" just eight times, after the ball had been placed within the Gamecocks' 5-yard line. Boineau's trusty toe sent the b)all out of dar. ger both times the pigskin wvent tt the Birds on downs. COACH LAVAL'S CONFIDENCE in the Ganmecocks, while Ferman had the ball on our I-yard line, was clearly shown by the calmness with which he smoked a cigarette-he never missedl a draw. IN TrHE~ LINlE, Julian Beall, Rogers andl Wolfe p)layed a whale of a game. breaking through repeatedly and tackling the Furman backs for losses behind the line of scrimmage. BIROCK. ABLY ASSISTED by L.eague, andl his proteges have their shi-rts an airing, up the Main hangover, after the great victory. The parade, b)eing the first s'nce the Maryland Pam"e came off in great style. N THE EARLY STAGES of the game between Florida anti Clemson, when By Foggy May Better Pep Meetings Held During Week Students Show Real Spirit And Turn Out In Full Force Beginning Monday night of last week, i series of pep meetings were held in the University chapel in an effort to get the students organized into cheering groups and to help the team eliminate the Furman jinx that, until last Satur day, had the "Indian sign" on Carolina for a period of five long years. The "peppiest" affair of all was pulled off last Friday morning, when the stu dents were aroused from their slumbers, at 6:30 o'clock in the morning, to assem ble for a few yells and show that they could cheer just as well at an early hour as they could any other time. Every body was ousted from his (or hec) bed by the rat-ta-tat of the drum, the noise of a cymbal and the grating sound of a horn that produced anything but a euphonious melody, even to a sound sleeper. Friday night, Brock assisted by Lea gue, with his worthy corps of pep-ar tists, coaxed, plead and begged for more noise, :ntil their efforts produced what turned out to be the biggest pep gath ering of the year.After the overture ade quately supplied by two freshman sing ers, "fresh" from the Metropolitan Op era and now recognized challengers to Gene Austin's monopoly on the latest song hits, the meeting got under way with full force. The cheers, which were more vociferous than at any other time this year, almost rocked the old chapel from its foundation. the latter was leading 6-0, we won dered; but, after reading the final score of 27-6, with Florida on top, we readily understood where "Lucky Tiger" hair tonic got its name. SIX SEN~ORS, Captain Cooper, Wim berly, Rogers, Griff n, Guarino and Wolfe, who made their farewell ap pearance on Melton Field played a great brand of football. The 6-0 score these men helped earn will be a cherished memory in the hearts of Carolina fans for a long, long time. THE BIRDS ARE glad to be ridden on the "ol' jinx" but, at the same time, we hope that the Furman Hcr ricane will pick up enough wind be tween now and T-hanksgving to blow the Tiger off the map, in their "Turkey Day" battle at Greenville. IT'S MIGHTY NICE to win occasion ally, because these "would be" side lights were getting dimmer every week, and ar*ther "tie game" would have just 'bout burned 'em out. N. C. ST-ATE~ WILL, be the opponents in the Birds' next and final game of the season, to be played at Raleigh on "Turkey Day." Let's wind i p the season with a win. eARLISLE BEALL Hurled pass that spelled defeat fo Furman's Purple ur..:~... "BOB" WIMBERLY Played brilliant game in the Game cocks' victory over Furman's Hornets. After the meeting, the crowd went "en masse" to Coach Laval's home on Pendleton Street, to make known their determination to win. The Birds' Direc tor happened to be absent, but the clam orous throng stayed long enough to give a few cheers, including "fifteen for Mrs. Laval," before hostilities were sus pended for the night.

Campi Gym ,Now Undergoing Thorough Cleaning Three Men Kept Busy Putting Building In Good Shape For the past few days, the gymna sium has been undergoing a regular old fashioned spring cleaning. Three negro men have been mopping and scrubbing the floors, as well as rearranging the furniture. All mats have been beaten, and then further cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. The football equipment has been mended and assorted into sizes, in prep aration for issuing it to the various in tra-mural teams. There are enough foot balls on hand to assure each team of getting one. Mr. Crawford, who is in charge of intra-mural athletics, is urging the ten ements to begin organizing, as practice will start immediately after the South Carolina-North Carolina State game Thanksgiving.
