ONLY CONFERENCE GAlVfE
Duke Favors Sophomores In
Line-up; Birds May Spring
Air Attack
After a week of secret practice following
their opening season set-to with
Erskine last week, Coach Billy Laval's
South Carolina Gamecocks departed
I from the city early this morning for
Durham, N. C., resolute in their one
purpose?to reduce Duke's terrible
Blue Devils to a placid, angellic flock
of spiritual attendants.
Coach Laval was robbed of a wonderful
chance to size up his men last
week when clouds wept bitter tears on
the Birds while attempting to get a
jump 011 the Dukesters in an early season
opener. At any rate the Birds will
reign favorites should a wet field complicate
matters.
However, the great uncertainty regarding
Duke's starting eleven indicates
that Coach DeHart is having
problems of his own with his untried
warriors. Beginning his last year at
the Durham institution, DeHart will
send an eleven against Carolina which
in 1929 suffered a disastrous graduation
year. Seventeen regulars have
migrated, so, with raw material forming
the bulk of Duke's hopes, prospects
are bright for Carolina to hop off with
a conference victory right at the start.
As the Birds and Blue Devils mix
in the only game which has a bearing
on the conference title, conference-wide
attention will be focused on the
Durham stadium tomorrow.
In the past few days the Gamecock
mentor has directed his charges intensively
toward the perfecting of an
offensive threat that will carry the Birds
to their first conference victory. Bill
Brigham has returned to the squad
after a short stay 011 the injury list, and
the others from Captain Gressette 011
down are intent on spoiling Duke's
initial grid festival of the season.
An idea of the sort of team which
the Birds go up against tomorrow
may be had from the following players,
who in all probability will be
starters, and their respective weights:
left end, Rosky, 180; left tackle, Taylor,
200; left guard, Werner, 188; center,
Adkins, 184, or Rupp, 182; right
I guard, Carpenter, 200; right tackle,
Bryan, 205, or Harton, 215; right end,
Hayes, 180, or Hyatt, 180; quarter
back, Mullen, 168; half back, Abbot,
146; half hack, Murray, 175, or Rciber,
180; full back, Brewer, 185.
As evidenced from recent practice
scrimmages with the tfreshmen, -the '
Birds will probably spring an overhead
attack on the Blue Devils should
their line refuse to be dented. First,
however, the Duke forward wall will 1
have to stop the powerful line plunging
tactics employed by Swetto Hicks and
Heyward Culp and overhaul the fleet
Bru Boineau, Hap Edcns, Miles Blount
and other Bird backs.
A large number of Columbians as
well as a few Carolina students are
making the trip to Durham to witness
the Gamecocks' coming out party in "
Southern Conference 1930 play.

UNIVERSITY GYM
ADDS NEW GAMES
Equipment for two new sports has 1
been made available for the University |
students, according to Jack Crawford, J
men's physical director. Handball
courts have been constructed on the
gymnasium floor and every day are
gaining in popularity, especially with
members of the boxing team. Mr.
Crawford also stated that instead of (
intra-mural football which in past '
years has held sway on the campus
toward the close of the regular grid
season there would be this year intra- 1
mural soccer football. It is planned to 1
hold several tenement soccer football 1
tournaments in the near future. 5

Gamecocks Victors Over
Erskine in Hard
Downpour
BOINEAU AND EDENS STAR
Toddmen, With Lone First Down,
Prove No M&tch For Birds
?? I
Outclassing their opponents at every
turn, the South Carolina Gamecocks
ploughed through the slush and mire of
a last halt to score an easy 19 to 0 victory.
last Saturday on Melton Field, over
Erskine's 1930 Flying Fleet in the opening
tilt of the grid season for both institutions.
A terrific downpour, interrupting the
opening half of the contest with only a
few moments to play, sent the packed
stands as well as both elevens scurrying
to shelter. By common consent of the
coaches and officials, the first half was
declared completed when the shower had
slacked up a bit and play was resumed
on the second period. A steady drizzle
kept up during the remainder of the
game, and undoubtedly, kept the scoring
as low as it was.
During the antediluvian portion of the
game, the Seceders were never allowed
to get started. The Bird's first team
strength completely subdued every movement
of the Toddmen, and although
twenty men saw service for the Gamecocks,
Erskine was able to chalk up only
a single first down, this coming as A result
of a gain and a penalty. Carolina
registered eleven first downs.
-Bru Boineau, who made a strong bid
for all-southern honors on last year's
eleven, touched off the Gamecock scoring
for 1930 in the opening quarter when he
climaxed a march from Erskine s v38yard
line with a dash through the line for
Carolina's first six points of the season.
Bru's attempt for the extra point was low
by inches.
Carolina's second touchdown came in
the middle of the next quarter, when
Boineau tore loose to cross the last
chalked line on the field for the second
time. It was a pretty, cut-back play on
which the Bird quarter was able to employ
some nifty 'side-stepping. He first
directed his course to the right, reversed
his steps and then headed toward the
left, leaving tacklers sprawling on all
sides. Boineau was hurt on the play, and,
Edens, substituting, kicked the extra
point.
After being held scoreless during the
third quarter, Hap Edens added the
Gamecocks' final touchdown with a
beautiful 30-yard gallop shortly after the
fourth period began. The pass from center
was fumbled in the attempt for the
extra point.

BIDDIES OPEN UP I
SEASON WITH P. C.
\
Heavy Line And Fast Backfield
To Mark Freshman Team I
With one of the largest and likeliest j
looking turnouts in recent years on
hand following the call for the University
freshmen team, the Biddies
should loom heavily over the race for
the Palmetto frosh championship this
year. j
About seventy-five candidates poured
into the field house as a response to
Coach Norman's first call, and although
the squad has been considerably
reduced since, a heavy, hard
charging line and a light, fast quartet
of backs should step out on the field
on October 4 when the Biddies meet
the Presbyterian College freshmen.
In the few scrimmages among themselves
and one or two with the varsity,
a few of the freshmen candidates have
shown some great stuff, but although
the first game is only a week off it is
difficult at this time to say just how
the freshmen will line up against the
first year Blue Stockings.
Earl Clary, of Gaffney, who gained
much notoriety over his many and
lengthy gallops over high school
gridirons, is practically a sure-shot as
a starter in the backfield. He weighs
160 pounds and appears to be in splendid
shape. Shinn, 180 pound pivot man,
has shown up well at the center position
while Fortson and Morehead, the
former weighing 190 pounds and the
latter 235 pounds, appear to have an
edge over the field for the guard posts.
Johnson, 230, and McManus, 195,
should make Coach Norman a good
pair of tackles. Williard and Raby have
been used regularly as first string
flankmen, while Cason, Ballcntine, and
Hambright have been pressed into much
service in the backfield assisting Clary.
Using this dearth of material to full
advantage, Coach Norman in scrimmaging
the Biddies against the varsity
has presented a powerful front wall.
Although they scored almost at will
through the air, the Birds encountered
much difficulty in opening up the
Biddie line.
The Carolina freshmen are scheduled
to meet five opponents this year. They
open with the Presbyterian freshmen
on next Saturday, and then rest until
the 22nd when they take on the Clemson
Cubs as a prelude to the CarolinaClemson
state fair classic. Both these
games will be played in Columbia. On
October 30 the Citadel yearlings will
be played at the Orangeburg fairgrounds
and on November 8, the Biddies
will journey to Athens where
they meet the University of Georgia
Bull Pups. The season will close with
the Furman freshmen at Greenville on
November 14.

As a result of the maritime football
game between the Birds and Erskine
last week statisticians declare Boineau
stepped off one particular run at the
rate of 16 knots per hour.
With the exception of Georgia Tech
and Kentucky, every member of the
Southern Conference will thunder into
action tomorrow, although the South
Carolina-Duke game is th? only interconference
tilt.
Louisiana State University, Carolina's
opponent on October 11, opened
the season impressively last week by
scoring early and often to defeat South
Dakota Wcsleyan 76 to 0 in an in'ersectional
battle.
Furman's Purple Hurricane will
make probably its greatest bid for
gridiron fame this year. In addition to
many state battles, the Big Wind will
swap tackles with the powerful DavisElkins
of West Virginia, Army and
Oglethrope.
I
Word comes from the ^Tennessee
camp that Gene McEver, all-southern
back in 1929, is out for the season due
to a knee injury suffered in a baseball
game during the summer?a tough
break for the Vols but a great one for
Major Neyland's opponents.
Beating Newberry is nothing over
which to halloo for relief measures
from thp executive office in Washington
to stop the cheering, but the 43
points which Wofford scored against
the Indians last Saturday indicate the
Terriers will offer quite a greater problem
in the state race this year than last.
Here's hoping the Biwls are hungry
for Tiger meat this season. The Louisiana
State University Tigers, Auburn
Tigers, Sewanee Tigers, and Clemson
Tigers meet the Gamecocks in games
this year.
The South Carolina freshmen are
expected to make a strong bid for state
honors. Freshmen teams from Presbyterian
College, Clemson, Citadel, Georgia,
and Furman will oppose the
Biddies.
t #
The Gamecocks entrained this morning
at 6:40 o'clock for Durham where
they oppose Duke's Blue Devils tomorrow.
The winner of this game will
rest on the pinnacle of the Southern
Conference standing for the coming
week as no other games are scheduled
between conference opponents.
If Duke University doesn't get off to
a flying start it can't be blamed on
tough breaks from its schedule. The
first, second, and third games are
played right at home with the Gamecocks,
Virginia's Cavaliers, and the
Davidson Wildcats in the order mentioned.
GAMECOCKSMEET
FIVE NEW TEAMS
The South Carolina Gamecocks will
meet five new teams in 1930, all of whom
are members of the Southern Conference,
Georgia Tech, Duke, Louisiana State,
Sewanee, and Auburn are the new teams
added. Three of these will be met away
from home and two on Melton Field.
Tennessee, Maryland, Virginia, Florida
and North Carolina, conference opponents,
and Presbyterian College, an S. I.
A. A. school, were all stricken from the
Bird schedule.
With a victory over Erskine already
chalked up, the remaining games scheduled
for the Birds are as follows:
Sept. 27?Duke at Durham.
Oct. 4?Georgia Tech at Atlanta.
Oct. 11?L. S. U. at Columbia.
Oct. 23?Clemson at Columbia (State

Former Gamecocks Engaged
Throughout Carolinas As
Athletic Heads 1
The Laval system of coaching will
be spread even further through the
Carolinas than the parts where the
Gamecocks play. In the persons of
Julian Beall, Barney Smith, and Hugh
Stoddard, three more Laval-trained
men were added to the list of football
coaches when the football cohorts were
gathered together during early September.
Julian Beall, captain of the team of
1929, is now head coach at High Point
College, a member of North Carolina's
Little Six. Bcalt's charges are
said to be making rapid headway by
sport observers, and will be seen in
action in South Carolina twice during
the coming season. ?
Hugh Stoddard, also a Columbia boy
and the fleet halfback who was
awarded the Jacobs Trophy for giving
the best interference of any back in
the state, is now head mentor at
Sumter High School. Sumter may possibly
play Columbia High, which
would give local fairs an opportunity
to see Hugh's boys against first-class
opposition.
Barney Smith, football and baseball
player here for several seasons, is
i coaching at New Brookland High.
Barney did well in college competition
and his friends are expecting great
work from his team.
Carl Wingard, a swell little back for
i the Birds in 1929, is directing athletics
at Swansea High School.

The South Carolina Gamecocks will
not be without friends when they invade
Graht Field on October 4 to swap jolts '
with the Georgia Tech eleven.
Plans have been under way for well
nigh onto a month by active Carolina
alumni in Atlanta to organize an Atlanta

Association. Alumni are reported as re- |
sponding enthusiastically and it is be- f
lieved that a live, enterprising club will be
the result.
Meetings are planned to be held at intervals

The Stetson Hatters, fresh from the
palms of sunny Florida, threw a considerable

in the opening game for the "Keydets."
A forward pass in the last five
minutes of play, which bounced off a

then nestled into the arms of a Bulldog
