CAPTAIN BILL COOPER Who directed the Gamecocks in victories over Chicago and Furman. FRESHMAN TIE FLORIDA 6 TO 6 ON TURKEY DAY Many Passes Tried By Both Sides In Exciting Game DOPE GETS BIG UPSET Pass Over Goal Dukes to Rich ards Evens Score For Biddies Battling the muchly tooted Florida Baby 'Gators on even terms for four periods, the Carolina Biddies kicked over the dope bucket and emerged from the contest with a 6-6 tie on Melton Field at noon last Thursday. The Gainechicks entered the fray with the odds greatly against them, but the first few plays of the game indicated that the Young Alligators would have no walkaway. Immediately, after the opening whistle, passes were being toss ed consistently by both sides, each team choosing the aerial route when line plays failed. Florida made the opening threat, when a pass from Dorsett to Hirsch placed the ball on the Biddies' 18-yard line, but two consecutive offside penalties set the 'Gators back 10 yards. A failure at the line and 'three passes, one that netted no gain and the other two incomplete, gave the ball to Carolina on downs. Again, in the second quarter, another heave from Dorsett to White put the ball on the Chicks' 12-yard line and an offside penalty placed the pigskin 5 yards nearer Carolina's goal posts. This time, Brigham saved the day by intercepting one of "Million Dollar Monk's" short passes and running the ball back to the 15-yard line. A few minutes after the start of the third quarter, Luke Dorsett, in one of the prettiest runs of the game, dashed 43 yards from his own 30-yard stripe to Carolina's 27-yard marker. Brennan gained 4 yards and, on the next pla;y, a beautifully thrown pass from the Florida captain to White netted a touch down. The try for extra point failed. Florida 6, Carolina, 0. The Biddies retaliated near the start of the fourth stanza, when successive first downs made possible by line plung ing of Dukes, Hicks and Culp placed the ball on Florida's 14 yard line. Two more line plays failed, but a nice toss from Dukes to Richards over the goal line was good for a touchdown. Dukes' try at goal failed, making the score, Florida 6, Carolina 6. After that, neither team made any serious threat, and attempts to score by the aerial route were cut short by the final whIstle. In the line, Richards, W. Skinner, and Powell did good wvork, while the whole backfield of Dukes, Hicks, lth, Brig ham sinud Cats perormed in exellent The Fog THE STANDING for the North Caro lina teams against South Carolina opponents now shows "two games won and one tied," which is not a bad average at that for teams from the Old North' State. THE CONTEST with the Wolfpack brought to a close one of the most "unusual" seasons that a aroliina team could have experienced. THE GAMECOCKS in trouncing three big foes in early season contests, seemed destined for a clear goal, but the string of de feats. suffered at the hands of the Tiger, no doubt, disheartened the Birds in games that followed. THE RESULTS of the contest with Citadel and North Carolina were nothing more than after-maths to the Clemson affair, which proved to be the indent to further disap pointments that were to climax the latter half of the season. INJURIES PLAYED havoc with the Gamecock machine. If Zobell had been able to play the year through, uninterrupted by physi cal reverses, there would have been a different story. JULIAN BEALL, Carolina's iron man at the pivot position, should make a good leader for the Birds in next fall's gridiron menu. In other words, he looks like the "right man for the job." THE BIDDIES did a neat job in low ering the pride of the muchly tooted 'Gator team, by battling the Florida Yearlings on even terms in their Turkey Day battle. DORSETT, ASIDE from one lucky toss, didn't run wild as was an ticipated. Brigham and W. Skin ner, with their fierce tackling be hind the line of scrimmage, made "Million Dollar Monk" look like a perforated "two-cent" piece, at times. TrHE WHOLE FRESHMAN team deserves much credit. It was not just a "big day" for the Biddies -for the breaks favored the Flor ida outfit. The score seems to indicate that there were eleven fighting chicks on the field. IN THE LINE-for the Gamechicks, Richards, W. Skinner and Pow ell scintillated while the backfield material presented a quintet of stars in Dukes, Brigham, Fath, Hicks and Culp. . TENEMENT FOOTBALL gets unde: way nlext week, which'll give all the "neglected" stars a chance~ t'o dlash 65 yards offtackle without a speck of interference, recover a fumble for a neat gain and invent a formation that will work with more effectiveness than the "crazy quilt."
