BIRDS PRIMED FOR CLASH WITH TARHEELS SAT FEATURE EVENT OF HOME COMING North Carolina Brings Down Powerful Eleven For Big Game Having exhibited their best form o the season to hand the Citadel Bull dogs a man sized walloping a Orangeburg last Thursday, Bill] Laval's Carolina Gamecocks will de vote the few remaining days of this week in the highly important task o preparing themselves for the invasioi of the powerful North Carolina Tar heels here Saturday. The game has been scheduled a; the feature attraction of Carolina'! annual homecoming clay and will b< A witnessed by hundreds of old gradi who will return to their old colleg< haunts for a day of handshaking aiu I good cheer. Already, the demand for tickets tc the game has been so heavy, tha I there has been some talk of chang ling the game from Melton field to tin more spacious stands at the state fai grounds. About '.),(><>() fans are ex H Ipcctcd to witness the contest. TARHEELS STRONG The North Staters, who have be m I come famous throughout the Soutl las one of the foremost exponents o I the ballyhoo art, appear to have a I last formed a football eleven that i m I capable of giving the strongest a rut I for their money. Beginning the season with over I whelming victories over Wake Fores fifH I and Maryland, the Tarheels hande< I the old dope bucket a sizeable boo I when she took the vaunted Engineer I of Georgia Tech into camp. The fol I lowing week end, just when she wa I being press agented as the cominj I Southern champions, North Carolin I dropped a close affair to the Univer B I sity of Georgia, at Chapel Hill. Just to show that she wasn't dis couraged, the North Staters cam I back last week and turned back th m V. P. I. Gobblers easily in an impres I sive display of powerful backs. Thi I week she should be at her stronges I and all ready for the clash with th I Birds. ROOSTERS READY BjBp The Roosters too, should be a their very best when they lock horn with the garrulous Tarheels. Cominj along slowly since the opening of th season, Billy Laval has developed hi team into a likely looking team tha is a menace for any football tean anywhere. Their victory over Citadel last weel shows that she is iapidly hitting lie stride and with Boineau, Stoddard and Rhame up to their old tricks should be able to make things quit interesting for the North Carolinans. Carolina's forward wall is still lack ing in a close defensive and coache will work on this phase of the elevei this week in order to strengthen i for the mighty thrusts that th doughty Tarheel backs are certain t< hurl against it. The Birds will enter this game con siderablv outweighed in both back field and line. North Carolina's lin is understood to be about as heavy a Clemson's and she has several set of husky backs, one about as good a the other. All in all, the Gamecock will be outweighed about eigh pounds to the man. U.B.O. HICKS RETURNS N. B. Hicks, plunging Gamecock fullback, returned to practice yesterday after having been out for a month with a broken collar bone. He was injured on the first play of the CarolinaVirginia game and had to be carried from the field. At first his injury was not thought to be serious but upon examination his collar bone was shown to be broken. When he was injured, it was thought that he would be lost for the entire season, but now it appears that he will soon see action. Hicks is not only a great line crusher but also an excellent defensive back. His return will greatly strengthen the Carolina backfield which has been somewhat weakened by the absence of a dependable line plunger.

I UK BOASTFUL North Carolina Tarheels, more loquacious than ever, 5 invade Gamecock territory Saturday J for what promises to be the Birds' hardest clash of the season, Clemson e included. Fresh from victories over 3 Ga. Tech and V. P. I., the North Staters are in just the frame of mind - that bodes ill for Billy Laval and his - husky gridders. e s THERE IS A little rumor s going the rounds just now that s North Carolina wants to beat us s decisively this year so they can t have an excuse for dropping us from their schedule. If memory serves correct, they had this little plan in mind on two or three other occasions in tJhe past ten years, but they've always had their pet schemes knocked into a cocked hat. SOl'TH CAROLINA doesn't play North Carolina just because she thinks it is an asset to have her on her schedule. Far be it from that. The Gamecocks play the Tarheels simply because it is an old traditional clash and they want to see it built tip eventually into one of the South'* foremost grid classics. And there is no reason why it can't be so. POOR OLD CLEMSON, may their souls rest in peace. What a pity their funeral couldn't have been right here in South Carolina where it belonged rather than up in the mountains of Kentucky. Anyway, that's the furtherest point west a Clemson leam has reached on its way to California in a decade or so. Maybe if they keep on trying hard enough, they might get there some day.

Nash, a Charleston boy, is the star in the North Carolina backfield and is extremely fast and shifty. AS BOINEAU ID MAKE MERRY BACKS RUN WILD TO BEAT CADETS Carolina Eleven Flashes Best Form Of Season To Down Citadel, 27 To 14 With the thudding hoofs of Bru Boineau and Hugh Stoddard leading the procession, South Carolina's larruping Gamecocks gained a thrilling 27 to 14 victory over the Citadel Bulldogs at Orangeburg last Thursday in the 24th renewal of gridiron hostilities between the age old rivals. A colorful gallery, estimated at almost 10,000 spectators, were treated to thrill after thrill as tli e bronzed charges of Billy Laval came from behind to overcome a 7 to 0 lead and give tlu* Cadets from the Ashley a man sized drubbing. _ Boineau, as his share toward winning the game, made two long and sensational runs that resulted in touchdowns for the Rirds and in addition to this circled right end for about (50 yards on another jaunt across the goal line that was called back because of an offside. STODDARD STARS Stoddard, playing one of bis best games of the year, grabbed one pass that netted a touchdown and then shagged another faulty flip to put the pigskin in position for another Carolina score. During the entire game. Stoddard's defensive work and blocking made him one of the most valuable men on the field. Pop Wilson, Citadel's nice running back, was easily the outstanding man in the Cadet backfield, being a menace to Carolina hopes from the very opening of the game when his gallop of some 50 odd yards placed the ball in position for the first Bulldog score.
