BIDD1E ELEVEN IN SCORELESS TIE WITH P. C. FLASH STRONG DEFENSE Yearlings Threaten Several Times But Unable To Push Ball Over The South Carolina Biddies, opening the season in their own coop last Saturday afternoon, played host to a band of freshmen from Presbyterian College in rather listless fashion and were unable to convert their twelve first downs into anything more than a big goose egg as their share of a disheartening scoreless tie. The two teams lunged at each other for four fruitless quarters in a futile attempt to break the deadlock, but their drives, however successful they were in midfield, met virtual brick walls every time they penetrated into easy shot of the zero lines. Carolina led in the aggressiveness and time after time her backs, led by the plunging of Freeman and the offtackling of Carnes, dented the rugged P. C. defense and advanced to beautiful scoring positions only to be checked by a line that just refused to give any territory beyond the ten yard mark. The game started off resembling a punting contest between the boots of Parrott and Fleming of the Biddies and the toe of Adams, the plucky little quarterback who replaced Stamps ~ in the early stages of the game for P. C. Neither team could go further than midfield and both of them resorted to punting tactics in the hope of stalking around for a break. But the break failed to come. FRESH MEAT To start the second canto Coach Norman sent in an entire team of reserves, and then the Biddies began their drives that went far into the Presbyterian territory but always lacked the t punch to break through for the six points. It was Carnes' running and De- j Vaga's plunging that did most of the ( ground gaining in this quarter, but \ the steady defense of the Clinton lads < magnified at right end by Copeland < and in the backfield by Barrett, staved off every threatening score and managed to hold the South Carolina yearlings to their original score. The half ended with Carolina still plugging away and gaining slowly and surely on the P. C. sixteen yard line. The second half saw a team of rejuvenated regulars back into the game for the Biddies and everything went their way except the coveted touchdowns. Their passing, their running attack, and their defense were all working nicely but it was an ill wind that blew them no good around the goalposts. They knocked at the thin aid beckoning cross bars time after time in that second half but never could they summon sufficient punch to break through a stubborn Blue Sox defense, try as they might. BRIGHT LIGHTS The work of Musselwhite and Bill Gilmore at the pivot position and Jones, Drafts and Atwcll on the ends was particularly outstanding in the defense of the home boys, while Benton, Arenson, Correll and Sligh all made nice work of their Saturday afternoon jobs. The visiting Blue Sox such an evenly knit team that few men were outstanding, but the work of Copeland, Adams, Barret, and Pinson shone slightly above the rest. South Carolina's side of the count cannot at all be reckoned as the caliber of the team because they demonstrated flashes of brilliancy while they were plugging away for twelve first downs Saturday that will be hard to be denied in their remaining games with Georgia Tech, Furman, The Citadel, and Clcmson.

WHILE MARYLAND isn't setting the world on fire this season with her football team, she has the weight and material to give almost any team a great amount of opposition. That the Roosters could hand them such a decisive drubbing in their own back yard certainly bears no greal amount of good for future opponents of the Birds who may be anticipating easy pickings. NORTH CAROLINA'S victo over Georgia Tech, astounding as might have been to the general pub did not come as a surprise to i guys who knew what it was all abo I he name of Georgia Tech, given sort of magical twist by an astoui ing number of great gridiron machii in the past, can't forever be imbuci opponents with the fatal inferior omplex. SHOULD THE LOUI MOUTHED Tarheels get to feel >ng a bit too cocky over theii questionable achievement and be gin to sprain their arms pattinf themselves on the back, they're due to get knocked off their higl horse sooner or later. And i they start their publicity bureau to telling the sports world wha they are going to do to a certaii South Carolina team one brigh day in November, they may fin< that their ballyhoo was a fractioi too premature. IT WAS A PITY that the Bide couldn t open their season with victory over P. C. Saturday, especi; since their bigger brothers were m such whoopee at the expense Maryland. However, the yearlii flashed one of the best defensive tea ever seen on Melton Field and if offensive can be developed to c respond, the baby Gamecocks will i the remainder of their games Vi little trouble.

Clcmson's powerful Bengals, alone of all the Sandlappcr elevens, remains undefeated after four comparatively easy conflicts with three out of state foes and one intrastate enemy. Josh Cody's vaunted band of Jungaleers took things easily against N. C. State at Florence last Saturday and were never extended in piling up a 26 to 0 verdict over the invaders from the old North State. ROOSTERS WIN Billy Laval's trio of flashy backs, Boincau, Zobel and Rhame, ran wild Saturday in an exhibition of plain and fancy football at College Park, turning back the muchly trampled Maryland Terrapins, 26 to 6 in a game that bore future opponents of the Gamecocks plenty of trouble.

Bru Boineau and Eddie Zobel, flashy Rooster halfbacks, formed the two main cogs in a Carolina offensive which featured long runs and more long runs and played the major part in shoving over four touchdowns over the last Maryland barrier. Boineau, as his share toward winning the clash, came through with a couple of touchdowns, including a dash for 85 yards, and two extra points after touchdowns. Zobel intercepted a Maryland pass to dash 60 yards for another Carolina tally and made numerous other runs that kept the Terrapin eleven in a highly nervous state of mind throughout the game. RETURNS PUNT Maryland earned nine first downs to Carolina's eight, but the Roosters converted Maryland plays into their largest gains by returning punts, kick-offs and intercepting passes.
