YEARLINGS DROP CLOSE CLASH TO TIGER CUBS, 3-0 FIELD GOAL WINS GAME Biddies Battle Clemson Rats On Even Terms Most Of Game But Lose In Last Period A field goal, kicked in the opening moments of the final quarter, by the educated toe of Quarterback Miller, enabled the Clemson freshmen to defeat the Carolina Biddies, 3 to 0, on Melton Field last Wednesday. The two teams battled on even terms for the first three quarters and until the Cubs chalked up their lone score in the last period, there were 1 few serious threats to score. ( Ayers, flashy Biddie back, got off several times for good gains but the Clemson Yearlings always managed J to hold in the vicinity of the goal line to keep Carolina from scoring. MAKE THREAT I Carolina made one serious threat to score just before the first half ended. Ayers galloped through the entire Clemson eleven for 25 yards and Fleming flipped a pass to Jones pn the next play that netted 10 yards and a first down. Another long pass looked as if it would land in the hands of a Biddie receiver but Voight, a Cub back, lumped up to intercept it and the half gun sounded after another play. | The Biddie flashed still another short lived threat directly after operations were resumed in the final half. LAyers returned the Clemson kickoff 31 yards and on the next play skipped around left end for 22 yards and a first down. Carolina was unable to gain and was forced to punt here, giving the ball to Clemson. CUBS SCORE Soon alter the last period began, Clemson got into scoring position on Carolina's 30 yard line, but they were unable to penetrate the Biddie line. On the third down. Miller elected to try a drop kick and sent the ball flying between the goal posts. Linky Rivers, a former Columbia high school player, played a nice game at end for Clemson, getting down under almost every punt to down the Biddie receiver in his tracks. Fleming and Ayers featured in the Carolina backficld while Jones and Gilmore were the line luminaries. BEALL TO MAKE BID FOR BERTH Carolina Captain Stands Good Chance Of Landing Big Honor This Year The gridiron warriors of South Carolina may not set the world on fire with their number of titles won this season, but they have at least one prominent candidate for an all Southern berth in the person of Capt. Julian Beall, center. It was generally conceded last season that had it not been for Peter Pund, Harry Schwartz and O. IC. Pressley, pivot men on more powerful teams, to block his path, Heal 1 would have been named as all Southern center last year. LOGICAL CHOICE W ith these three men out of school this year and no other serious obstacle in his path this year, with the possible exception of Capt. Joe Boland, of Georgia, the natural choice should be Beall. A 185 pounder, Beall is a demon on both defense and offense, starring brilliantly in every game the Birds have played yet this season, none of the sports writers having failed to make note of his superb work in the line. Carolina landed an all-Southern center in 1920, Capt. Hill Boyd getting the call then in his senior year. Boyd attained fame throughout the nation by kicking a field goal once from the 49 yard line with the pigskin resting only a few feet from the sidelines. "So he said he knew me when I was a little girl?" "No, he didn't." "Then what did lie say?" "He said he knew you when he was a little boy."?Kxchangc. First Drunk: "A street car just pashed by." Second Drunk: "Ilowya know?" First Drunk: "I shcc its tracks." BIRDS BOW TO R BENGAL 01 ] Sport Chants BY JULIAN KRAWCHEK ? ? ( SOUTH CAROLINA football fans who became so engrossed over the Carolina-Clemson clash at the fair grounds last week are reminded not to forget future important gridiron engagements that the Birds have hooked with the Universities of North , Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee, three of the most potentially powerful elevens in the Southern confcrence this year. y ti TWO OF THESE games in particular, that pigskin enthusiasts s of this section would do well to li chalk up in their date books as y things not to be missed, are the e games with Florida and North p Carolina, both scheduled to be v played on Melton Field but which, o in all probability, may have to be d moved to the more spacious stadium at the state fair grounds. 0 t ' f THE LOQUACIOUS TAR- c HEELS, who usually do more talking I than playing, appear to have at last f built lip a real formidable football team this year. With decisive vie- c tories over Ga. Tech and V. P. 1. to I their credit, they are being press a agented to the skies by an entcrpris- I ing news bureau and at least two of I their mainstays, Branch and Farris, a seem destined for all Southern berths this year. , ( CAROLINA HAS NEVER * taken this battle with her Northern sister seriously and it has never had the prominence that it should have had. This year things ( appear to be vastly different. The * Gamecocks had, perhaps, rather down the North staters more than any other team remaining on their \ schedule with the possible exception of Florida and Furman. ] XO ONE NEED BE told what \ Florida's Alligators possess in the j way of big, fierce linesmen and fast ' and shifty backs. With Brumbaugh, ] Bethea, Cawthon, Crabtree and Van Sickle on a football team, what more could a gridiron contest have to in- J duce spectators to lay down their hard earned shekels with box office 1 ticket agents? j WHILE THE ALLIGATORS were comparatively unimpressive < in early season games with V. M. i I. and Ga. Tech, she has come i along rapidly and her defeat of < the powerful Georgia Bulldogs : last week shows that she has hit her stride at last. This week she journeys up to Cambridge for a battle with Harvard and this I writer is picking her to win i handily. j IT.B.C. BOXING OUTLOOK GOOD THIS YEAR ' i The return of Bob Lumiansky and ' Patsy Leardo, members of last year's varsity boxing team, to the University " this fall, has greatly enhanced the prospects of Carolina's boxing team . this winter. Lumiansky, a light-weight from Massachusetts, is one of the cleverest boxers that has ever graced a Southern college team, and should make a strong bid for all Southern this year. Eeardo, a fair boxer and punishing hitter, made a great start last year as a sophomore and should be vastly improved this season. He fought Capt. Charlie Brown, Southern middle-weight champion at the University of North Carolina, to a stand still for three rounds in their meet here last year and only lost after a great stand in the extra round. These men, together with West, Wilson and one or two others from last year, form a nice neucleus for this years' team. Several promising men from the freshmen team of last year, including Brailsford, Parker, Petite, Watts, and others are coming up this year and should add materially to the strength of the squad. By JULIAN KRAWCHEK ELENTLESS TENSIVE, 21-14 EtHAME, BOINEAU, RUN BRILLIANTLY TIGERS DISPLAY POWER iamecocks Intercept Two Passes For Scores As Bengals Fill Air With Flips Displaying a powerful offensive that nabled them to sweep relentlessly hrough a lighter Gamecock forward /all, the vaunted Tigers of Clemson ollege scored their third victory in as lany years over a gallant South Carona football eleven last Thursday, 21 0 14. Approximately fifteen thousand pectators braved a long automobile inc and laid down their shekels for rhat proved to he the most thrilling xhibition of circus football ever layed in Columbia. Among them ras Gov. John G. Richards and many ither notables including the presients of the two schools. The Jungalcers tallied first in the ipening quarter when Johnny Justus ook the ball after a Clemson drive rom midficld and went around left nd for 15 yards and a touchdown. Cxtra point was kicked and the score avorcd Clemson, 7 to 0. Another drive in the second period ulminated in a touchdown for the Sengals when Goat McMillan flipped short pass behind the goal line to Job Jones, Clemson's alert right end. Dxtra point was kicked a second time ind the Aggies lead, 14 to 0. Strangely enough, South Carolina nade both of its touchdowns also on Clemson passes that were intercepted ind run back for Carolina markers. CAROLINA SCORES Crip Rhame, leaped -high in the air mi his own 20 yard line in the second luarter to grab a Clemson pass and '.ig zag his way through an entire 1 iger eleven for Carolina's first touchlown. Boineau added cxtra point ind the score at the half favored Clemson, 14 to 7. Just before the half gun sounded, Hugh Stoddard, another Carolina sack, got away from a long 52 yard jaunt in Tiger territory and was apparently headed for a touchdown vhen downed from the rear by Reuben Siegel, giant Clemson guard. Neither side was able to score in lie third quarter although Clemson <ept hammering right at the Carolina Ljoal posts throughout the period. The [iamecocks held at critical moments lowever and always managed to kick aut of danger. Soon after the fourth quarter opened, the Birds made their final touchdown to tie tlie score. Clemson look the hall in midficld and drove steadily down the field to Carolina's 25 yard line. BOINEAU GALLOPS The Clemson quarter essayed a pass for a touchdown but Bru Boineau made a flying leap for the ball and gathered it under his arms. Aided by perfect blocking, this fleet Carolina back shot down the sidelines like a streak and crossed the Clemson goal line after a short little strut of 75 yards. He kicked goal a moment later and the Carolina game stands went wild as the score stood in a tie 14 to 14.

Tech STATE ELEVENS WIN FOUR, LOSE THREE IN WEEK ONLY SEVEN TEAMS PLAY Carolina Loses To Clemson Ir Major Game Of Week In South Carolina With the annual gridiron clash be tween Clemson college and the Uni versity of South Carolina furnishing most of the fire works, another weel of inter-collegiate football competitior rang down on the Palmetto State Sat urday night disclosing a total of foui wins and three losses for seven Soutl Carolina teams. Most of the elevens engaged it intra-state games, only one team, Ers kinc collcge, going out of the state foi an engagement. One team, Newberrj college, took a clay off to recuperat< from severe buffetings in early seasot contests. The game between the powcrfu Tigers of Clemson and Carolina': Gamecocks drew most of the intcrcs during the week, Josh Cody's Junga leers flashing a powerful offensive tt win, 21 to 14, after the Birds hac come from behind to knot the coun in the third quarter. GAIN CONSISTENTLY Johnny Justus, Goat McMillan an< Bob McCarlcy gained consistent!; through a light Carolina forward wai that was entirely unable to cope sue cessfully with the powerful forward of Clemson.' Crip Rhame and Bru Boineau, Caro Una's two Pony Express backs, botl intercepted forward passes and re turned them for touchdowns for Caro lina, Rhame trotting 75 yards whil Boineau galloped about the same dis tance, aided by perfect interference. In the second most important gain of the week, Fnrman downed WolTon at Spartanburg, 25 to 6, in a tradi tional clash that saw both teams hi their top form for the first time thi year. Having rallied in the first half t score a touchdown and tic the scor< the Terriers weakened in the latte stages of the game permitted th Hurricane to shove over three mor touchdowns and win for the secon year in succession. CITADEL UNIMPRESSIVE Citadel's recently dubbed Bin Squall, was unimpressive in its 12 t 0 victory over Presbyterian college, team that suffered a crushing defen at the hands of Carolina the wee previous. For the first time this year, the Bull dogs crack forward wall was oul charged and outfought by a lighte Calvinist line and the Cadets had a extremely tough proposition of it t finally win. _ Jakie 1 odd s Erskine Scceders cor tinned their sensational play of th past few weeks by smothering Gui ford with a deluge of plain and fane forward passes to win, 45 to G, froi the larhcel eleven. DEVELOP ATTACK Erskine has developed what is pei haps the best passing attack in th state this year, enabling to score ; east one time on every opponent sli has faced this season. Newberry's muchly battered Rec skins, rested up Saturday and too time out to paint up a little aft< being battered from pillar post sine the opening of the season. CROSS COUNTRY MEN TO REPORT Aspirants for positions on Care hna s cross country team will begi their period of training today whe they report to Coach A. W. Norma this afternoon at 3:30 for equipmei and initial instructions. The meetin will be held at the field house.

Although it was nothing less than r heart breaking to suffer defeat in the 7 final quarter after they had gallantly : come from behind to tie the scorc, the i Birds are far from discouraged and are determined to give the remaining 1 opponents on their schedule some3 thing to think about and worry over, t NOT OVER YET The season isn't half over for the j Roosters yet. In fact, their most important out of state games with North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee and N. C. State are yet to come, in addition to another formidable Palmetto foe, Fur, man University, which is far from a set up for any man's football eleven. v. However, the Lavaliers have a certain Bulldog -on their minds right now, " and they know that they will have to s put out every thing they've got in order to down the powerful canines - from the city by the sea. ti Citadel appears to have one of the - best lines in the South this year in - addition to a host of fast stepping e backs. Skelton, Morgan, Oglesby and - Carlisle are the line stalwarts while Gray, Wilson, Brasington, Whittinge ton, Mcintosh and others form cond stant backfield threats. LINE CAUSES WORRY 1 Billy Laval, in all probability, isn't * worrying overly much on his hacks 1 but his line is giving him plenty of ? trouble. Julian Beall, Bob Grcssette fl and Monk Shand are the only line I r veterans back and the other four posi- I c tions compose a constant source of I c worry for the head Gamecock mentor. I d The shifty Clemson ball toters ran I wild through the Carolina forward I wall last week and this part of the fl eleven will bear considerable strength- I c ening before being pitted against the I o vaunted Citadel forwards. 2 BIRDS?BULLDOGS RENEW RIVALRY I r Carolina Has Won Fifteen Games I " And Citadel Four Since Series Began 1? Having taken on one old traditional 1 foe at the state fair grounds last week, H * the Gamecocks of South Carolina will I lock horns with still another one H Thursday at Orangeburg when they I match gridiron wits with the Citadel I r Blue Squall. e Carolina-Citadel rivalry dates hack II to 1905 and of the twenty-three games I |C played since that time, Carolina has B won 15, Citadel four, and four were I ties. The game last year resulted in I J a scor^css deadlock, while the Roos- flj * ters triumphed, 0 tu 0, in 1027. e BULLDOGS STRONG Gridiron activities at the Cadet in* fl stitution have been more or less on & the down slide since Teddy Weeks? ceased his strutting for the Bulldogs. H P but Carl Prause has developed a likely looking eleven this year which gjg promises to give the Lavaliers about ^ )- all they can handle and perhaps n little more. n The Birds, on the other hand, haveM n come along rapidly since unimpre* it sive early season starts with Erskliw g and Virginia and should be in the belt of condition for the Citadel scrap While losing a tough 21 to 14 count H it to Clemson last week, there were o?
