Carolina's Gamecocks, Citadel's Bulldogs, Clemson's Tigers, and Furman's Purple Hurricane form the quartet of teams standing at the top of the procession with one victory each over other and less fortunate state foes. Erskine's gallant band of Seceders and Newberry's Indians with a couple of losses apiece bring up the tail end of the race. Presbyterian College and Wofford have yet to lock horns with ! an intra-state enemy. POWERFUL ATTACK ! Billy Laval's Carolina Gamecocks, 1 dubbed the hermits of the southern 1 conference since way back at the be- 1 ginning of the season when they be- , gan taking their drills behind closed gates and burlap strips, unleashed a powerful first half running attack to crush a brilliant passing Erskine eleven under a 26 to 7 count. Crip Rhame and Bru Boineau, Carolina's two toy express trains, were the big guns of the Rooster offensive while Captain Julian Beall, Buddy Laval and Bob Gresset formed veritable towers of strength in the forward wall. Citadel's snarling Bulldogs tore j madly from their leash in a wave of ( fury to swamp Newberry's lowly Red- ? skins, 59 to 0, in the first game of ( the season for the Charleston Cadets. \ Newberry, loser to Clemson the pre- j vious week end by a top heavy score, was no match for the growling Purps, who ran wild to pile up almost as large a score as the mighty Tigers did a week or so sooner. DRAW EVEN These were the only games that had any bearing on the state race and enabled Carolina and Citadel to draw up even with Clemson and* Furman who had pulled ahead in the race one week sooner. Josh Cody sent his vaunted Clemson Jungaleers to do battle against ! an out of state foe at Charlotte, winning handily from Davidson's rejuve- , nated Wildcats, by a 32 to 14 score. ' Favorites to win hereabouts by at least 30 points, the Tigers found the Davidson eleven anything but an j easy mark and only came out on top after being held at bay for the first three quarters. Furman's Purple Hurricane traveled 1 the farthest of any state team, board- : ing a fast choo choo train to Chattanooga where they lost, 20 to 7, to the Powerful Chattanooga Moccasins, a formidable S. I. A. A. Conference foe. BLUE HOSE WIN Presbyterian's Blue Stockings took i the Mountain Bears of Lenoir Rhyne into camp, 15 to 0, in the feature attraction of the Cleveland County fair at Shelby, North Carolina, although doped by fans locally to lose to the North State eleven. Tommy Scaffe's Wrofford Terriers made it a perfect day for Palmetto teams over their northern neighbors by trampling High Points Purple Panthers, 18 to 6, in the Panther lair.

During the second section of the affray they didn't look quite to torrid, which, of course, can be laid to several various reasons. ONE THING IS certain, the Roosters had an entirely different team to face that second half than they did the first part of the game. Erskine came down here intent on at least .coring on the Lavaliers and what they didn't do during the early moments of the game, they certainly made up during the latter stages. IF LAVAL'S band of warriors can put out the same brand of football against Virginia Saturday that they exhibited during the first two periods of the game against Erskine, this writer has a hunch that the huskies from the Old Dominion will return to their native state with their hunger for revenge still unappeased. THOSE PEOPLE who were out at the game Saturday couldn't help but notice the fine work that Nigel League's recently organized Carolina Cheerios pulled off. Together with the band, they gave the battling Roosters quite a bit of inspirational support from the sidelines that was badly needed. AND MAYBE Cheerleader League doesn't give his Cheerios plenty of yelling to do. After the first ten or fifteen minutes of the game, cries of "have a heart" were common and frequently asked. But for all the good these pleas did, they might never have been uttered. ANOTHER THING that caused quite a bit of comment at the game Saturday was the extreme brilliant hues of both the Carolina and Erskine jerseys. The black and gold of the Seceders and the flaming scarlet of the Gamecocks combined to give a veritable riot of color to the affray. AND COLOR is something that every sport needs for a box office attraction. The tendency nowadays is to make people think you're good even if you're not and this thing of loud uniforms and the like helps the sport out considerably. According to the latest reports from the School of Science, Washington, much more progress is being made in the matrimonial stages than in chemistry. This is mostly because of coeducational institutions admitting more brunettes than blondes. The I. O.

For two long years now, Carolina las snatched victory from the Virginians by last quarter rallies, and the >oys from the Old Dominion arc deermined to change things around somewhat this year. One of the principle backs that Virginia will hurl against the Roosters vill be none other than Gus Kamiler, a native South Carolinian who hose the more northern institution in vhich to gain his education and play lis football. Kaminer is a veteran back from he 1928 varsity and has shown ex:eptional good form so far this year, coring three of Virginia's five touchlowns against Randolph-Macon Satirday.

Five separate teams are running signals each afternoon and according to Coach Norman, the chief of the first year men, competition is so keen that it is yet impossible to make a definite selection and call it the first stringers. HEAVY BACKS There is a galaxy of heavy men in the backfield, according to reports from behind the ultra-secret barriers of Melton Field, but the line cannot place any hope of victory in superfluous weight.

With a neucleus of three or four men back from last year's varsity squad and with several good men coming up from the powerful 1928-29 freshmen five, prospects are exceedingly bright this year at Carolina for a state and conference title. For the next few weeks, drills will be held only three nights a week, and the real intensive training probably won't come off until after the football season is over.
