THANKS PROM LAVAL The following communication .was received by this department a few days ago from Coach Billy Laval, Carolina's head football mentor: Sports Editor, The Gamecock: Please permit me to take this opportunity through your publication to express not only my appreciation but the appreciation of my entire football squad for the interest and pep that is being shown by the Carolina student body. This, in itself, is doing a great amount of good in helping us to develop athletics here as they should be. I was greatly impressed with the fine spirit shown in the Virginia game and especially after we were defeated. Any one can be a true sport when they are winning, but it takes real manhood to support and show interest in something that is lost. The spirit on the football squad is the best, and I am sure that the students have played a great part in helping to develop this. If we are successful during this season the students will and should receive their share of the spoils. If we fail, let's all go down fighting together. We need your unlimited support and in return expect to give you all that we have regardless of the outcome of the contest. In closing I want to especially thank the untiring work of the cheer leaders and the band. W. L. Laval, Coach. GAMECOCKS DOWN MARYLAND TEAM (Continued from Page 6) apparently heading for a touchdowi when two men snagged him. The Birds tallied soon after th< opening of the first quarter after th< Old Liners had hammered vainly ai their goal line for several minute! after the opening kick-offs. Bru Boineau, catching the Terrapins off guard punted on first down from his owr ten yard line to Maryland's fifteer yard stripe. Evans got off a bad kick for Mary land and Boineau returned the pum to within 80 yards of the goal line Punts were exchanged again anc Boineau again made a flashy return o: twenty yards, placing the ball on th< Old Liners 8 yard line. Maryland was penalized five yards and after two plays through the lin< failed to gain, Crip Rhame dartec through right tackle for the tally. KNOT SCORE The Old Liners came back fighting furiously and a 27 yard pass fron Dodson to Chalmers, together with ? 12 yard sprint by Dodson were th< factors of the tieing touchdown in th< opening period ? f the game. The ball see sawed back and fortl through the opening minutes of th< second period until Zobel interceptec a Maryland pass on his own 35 yarc (Continued on Page 8) U.S. c. PALMETTO TEAMS WIN FOUR GAMES (Continued from Page 6) pair of touchdowns and two dropkicki for extra points while Rhame anc Zobel contributed one touchdowr apiece to the Gamecock cause. Boineau had an 85 yard run to his credit, Zobel a 65 yard sprint, and Rhame one that totaled 55 yards, in what appeared to be a perfect orgy of reckless ball toting. Furman's Purple Hurricane, held tc a gentle breeze by Presbyterian College in the first two periods, blew intc a raging zephyr in the third period tc score two touchdowns and chalk up a 12 to 0 count over the Calvinists. FLYING PASSES Erskine's band of football aviators tossed and caught passes from one side of the field to the other at Spartanburg Saturday to eke out a close 18 to 14 victory over the Wofford Methodists, in another one of those games that saw Parkinson, Reid, and Hambright strut their stuff like nobody's business. Citadel's Bulldogs, fresh from a couple of early season victories, found the going a bit too tough against the V. M. I. Cadets, and dropped a close 13 to 7 decision to the Virginia eleven, despite a rousing late period rally thai scored one touchdown for the South Carolinians and came precariously near counting another. Newberry'# lowly Redskins, played a heavier High Point eleven to a standstill for three quarters at High Point Saturday but weakened toward the last and permitted the High Pointers to score a safety and win the game, 2 to 0. v.a.o. Carolina's schedule of seven conference games with Clemson, N. C. State, North Carolina, Tennessee, Maryland, Virginia, and Florida, is one of the hardest in the south. NEW EQUIPMENT AT GYMNASIUM .
