ROOSTERS DROP
IMPORTANT TILT
CAVALIERS SCORE EARLY
Birds Threaten Often But Lack
Final Punch As Virginians
Win Contest, 6-0
A big blue eleven of Virginia huskies
came from the confines of the
Old Dominion to invade Columbia
Saturday and administer a 6 to 0 defeat
to Billy Laval's flock of scarlet
jersied Carolina Gamecocks in the
first southern conference tilt of the
season for both teams.
With brittle forward walls able to
hold consistently only at moments
few and far between, the battle early
resolved into a clash of brilliant running
backs who piled up a total of
thirty first downs, cxactly fifteen for
each eleven.
The Cavaliers, intent on breaking
a two year winning streak by the
Birds, lost no time in getting their
offensive under way and tallied the
first and only touchdown of the game
in the first period.
INTERCEPTS PASS
After Bob Grcssette had intercepted
a Virginia pass on his own eight yard
line to temporarily halt a touchdown
drive, the Cavaliers shortly after took
possession of the pigskin again and
were long gone for a tally.
Two long gains through the lines
and a beautifully executed forward
pass advanced the ball to Carolina's
four yard line in jig time. Capt. Sloan
rammed the line for three yards and
Bryant smashed it over on the next
PlayThe
try for extra point went wide
and the score favored Virginia 6 to 0.
No sooner had the Cavaliers scored
than the Roosters took possession of
the ball and were apparently headed
v for a certain touchdown.
PENALTY HURTS
Rhame, Zobel and Culp alternated
at carrying the ball down the field
until the pigskin rested on the Vir-1
ginian's nine yard line. Here the Birds
wt?*e penalized fifteen yards and on
a play a moment or so later, Kaminer
intercepted a Carolina pass on his own
twelve yard line to halt the Carolina
drive.
Both sides made several concerted
drives during the second and third
quarters that chalked up first down
after first down but when the necessary
drive was wanted to push the
ball across the last white stripe, it
was always lacking.
The Gamecocks made their final
serious threat to score in the final
quarter. Taking possession of the ball
in mid field, two pretty passes and
several gains through the line placed
the ball on the thirteen yard line.
LOSE HOPE
Boineau went through the line for
four yards on the first play, buf the
next two plays failed to gain. A pass
on the fourth down was grounded and
Carolina hopes went down.
A few moments later Laval injected
Bill Brigham, a center, into the
lineup in a desperate effort to score.
Brigham, playing in the backfield,
flipped a neat pass to Happy Edens
that netted 33 yards and once more
lifted Gamecock hopes. Another pass
was intercepted on the six yard line
by Thomas and the game ended shortly
after.

WHILE VIRGINIA'S victory over j"
Billy Laval's Carolina Gamecocks rj
Saturday came in the nature of a mild
upset, supporters of the old frarnet and
black can't complain too much over
losing a game to an eleven of the
caliber that the Virginians exhibited
on Melton field.
ye
IT CERTAINLY isn't a disgrace
to lose to a team that dis- so
played the form that the Cavaliers
did Saturday. They may never va
attain that form again this season 19
?they may lose all the remainder ca
of their games this ceason, but so
the eleven that faced the Roosters nc
here had power and plenty of it. pi
vi
BESIDES, WITH a schedule as j?:
tough as the one carded for the Game- *a
cocks, it is only natural that they lose
three or four games before the season
is over. It would take a super gridiron pc
machine to go through that schedule in
undefeated and Carolina, unfortu- ra
nately, doesn't possess a super grid- E:
iron machine. th
st;
JUST ANOTHER word or so
about Cheerleader Nigel League's gr
ban of rah, rah boys, commonly ba
known as the Carolina Cheerios. A
Those boys made a hit at the lei
opening game of the season with
Erskine and a still bigger hit dur- or
ing the game with the Old Do- ca
minion eleven Saturday. ac
N
IF THEY KEEP up the good work, Ip
they'll soon earn a name for themselves
over the entire southland. When
three hundred college freshmen get
together and decide they want to
whoop things up a bit, they can do it
like nobody's business as any little
boy can tell you readily.
THE WORK OF Capt. Julian
Beall at center in both the Erskine
and Virginia games has
been of the outstanding type. If
he keeps up the same type of play
in later and more important
games with Clemson, Florida and
Tennessee and doesn't make all
southern center, President Hoover
should order a senate investigation.
CAROLINA'S BIDDIES, a complete
mystery to local football fans,
will officially pry the lid off their
schedule Saturday when they meet the
fast yearling eleven from Presbyterian
College 011 Melton field in a game that
will have an important bearing on the
state freshmen gridiron race.
TO THE CASUAL observer, it
would appear that the yearlings
?re blessed with a wealth of good,
heavy backs and a light but charging
line. With such formci high
school and prep school stars as
Musselwhite, Fleming, Freeman,
Arenson, Atwell, Benton, DeVaga
and others on the squad, its
a cinch they are going to cause
trouble for somebody.

Yearlings Have Imposing Array
Of Potential Stars To
Hurl Into Fray
With a mere three days remaining
before Coach A. W. Norman sends
his Biddies into their initial battle of
the season against the P. C. freshmen,
he is sparing no effort in the gruelling
afternoon workouts to whip them into
tip-top shape for the long-awaited
debut.
The Carolina freshmen, working out
day after day behind the veil of burlap
that was furled around Melton
field in early season to conceal the
operations of their co-workers, the
mysterious Gamecocks, have also developed
into an eleven whose potentialities
arc wholly unknown to the
public.
It has leaked out, however, that
there is a horde of former prep school I

South Carolina Teams Win Four,

During Week End
Another week of rip snorting football
activities drew to a close on the
South Carolina battle front Saturday
night and revealed a sum total of four
victories, three defeats, and one no
decision contest for Palmetto pigskin
machines from a total of eight gridiron
conflicts with as many out of
state foes during the week end.
Clemson, Citadel, Erskine and Presbyterian
College make up the quartet
of victorious elevens while Carolina,
Wofford, and Furman form the trio
of losers. Newberry came through
with a scoreless tie.
Playing their first real important
game of the season, Josh Cody's
vaunted band of Clemson Jungaleers
met and defeated an array of brother
Bengals from Auburn, 26 to 7, in a
game that had an important bearing
on the conference football race.
TOUGH BATTLE
Hatfield, a diminutive Auburn back,
matched performances with Goat McMillan,
stellar Tiger back, in an exhibition
of brilliant ball carrying,
Clemson finally winning after being
given a stiffer battle than they had
anticipated.
