CAROLINA GAME CLOSER A! ? ..., . .... < 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.

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. U.B.C. BIDDIES READY FOR P. C. RATS 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 (Continued on Page 7) By JULIAN KRAWOHEK IOB WIMBERLY TO GET FUNG IN PRO RANK SIGNS WITH LOUISVILLE ormer Carolina Gridiron Sta Decides To Join Ranks Of Professionals Bob Wimberly, the hip swaying an ie smashing demon of bygone Car< ia football teams, has cast his It the ranks of the profession* 'ldders and has signed a contract t ay with the Louisville, Kentuck even this autumn and winter.

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.
