GAM ECO | " BIRDS DEFEAT , S : DUKE ELEVEN FOR 2ND WIN Hap Edens Leads Carolina In First Conference Victory FIELD DAY FOR SUBS Gamecock Reserves Tally All Touchdowns For Gamecocks The South Carolina Gamecocks k opened the Southern Conference active season in Durham last Saturday by trouncing Duke's Blue Devils, 22 to 0, and taking an early lead in the Southern Conference standing. After an erratic start, the Birds led by Happy Edens launched an attack that sent the Blue Devils clown to a stunning defeat. Happy sliced, passed, and punted to put the Talmetto combine in a comfortable lead. Coach Billy Laval's substitutes out- / did themselves. They scored all of the = I Carolina points. The first score came ] when Frank Bostick picked tip a blocked Duke punt on the eight-yard marker and carried it over. Boineau then kicked the extra point with Edens holding the ball. The first half ended * with the Gamecocks ahead 7-0. In the early part of the third period ^ the Gamecocks strengthened their lead. The Birds took the ball on the Duke 47-yard line, and then paraded to an- 8 other touchdown. The Gamecock * forward line combined their efforts and 8 opened great holes in the Duke defense * to let Hicks and Edens slip by for six, seven, or eight yards. This continued until the Duke goal line was eight yards away. Then Edens smashed ^ through for the score. He missed the 1 try for the extra point. The Blue Devils were of absolutely s no threat to the Carolina team. When 1 late in the third period the Birds in- 5 tercepted a Duke pass and failed to ^ make the required yardage in three J V downs, Edens promptly fell back and split the Duke uprights with a perfect '< field goal from the 19-yard marker. 1 Incidentally this was the first field goal kicked in the new stadium. After this score South Carolina settled down to a defensive game, but the defensive tactics were short lived as Tom Brantley, another substitute, snagged a Duke pass, running 35 yards behind hastily formed interference to make another touchdown for the Gamecocks. Towards the end of the game, the Blue Devils uncorked a bottle full of trick plays which might have resulted in a score had not the alert South Carolinians continued to break up plays by intercepting passes. While the entire South Carolina aggregation was playing heads up football, Edens' work was outstanding. It was well nigh uncanny the way he spotted even the smallest of holes in the Duke forward wall, and his success in ' (Continued on page Seven) Atlanta Plat Receptio From all indications Carolina's Game- r cocks, win or lose, will be royally treated f during their stay in Atlanta, following r the game with Georgia Tech, Saturday 'j afternoon. t Dr. Foster is in reccipt of a letter from * U C.

Charlie, who used to traverse {rid soil in a big way for P. C., secured he first homer of the series in the third ;ame. fn the sixth game the big blonde, ifter apparently being fanned for the inal out of the inning, delayed his dash 'or first base just long enough for the Louisville fielders, under the impression hat the inning was over, to start for the >cnch. Charlie and the umpire seemed the jnly ones who saw that the catcher had ;cooped the ball on a bounce. Consequenty, when lie stopped running he had second base standing up. When the inning vas over, Rochester had scored two runs md won the ball game 8 to 6. Charlie should mjike a strong bid for i place on the St. Louis Cardinals' team tor next season.

Mr. Early's c( only request is that all alumni send in their applications for tickets early. Communications in regard to the seat p: reservations should be addressed to i sc Dr. R. K. Foster, Director of Student tl Activities, care of the University of g; South Carolina, Columbia. w This move to secure the best seats g, I for the alumni is a very deserving one I L, 1 and Mr. Early and all who arc responsible for it are to be commended for I their action. |o] Commenting on the fact that several I g; people had registered their disapproval I p< to this movement, Secretary Early said: 1 fi "There is no valid reason why mem- 01 bers of the Alumni Association should I c< not have some consideration in the mat- I la I tcr of tickets for the football games. I These former students have manifested their interest in the University and its I I future by joining the Alumni Associa-.l I tion and thereby doing their part I ' I toward carrying out the alumni pro- I ^ gram for the general expansion of the I ^ University during the next few years. In the past, members of the Association have not received this consideration, but with definite sections set aside it ^ should be easier to see that the members s of the Alumni Association arc given P this privilege. "At all of the leading Universities of ^ the United States, this system has been ? in use for many years, and its being * adopted at the University of South Car- f olina is a step forward in binding the ties of the former students to the University. 1 "This courtesy shown to the mem- 0 bers of the Alumni Association is in c no sense a discrimination against those t( alumni who have not joined the a&socia- n tion. The fact that certain sections are p designated takes care of that part of it a and does not make it become necessary tj for an alumnus to join the association ^ in order to get tickets for a football _ game. It is necessary, however, that he i be a member of the association to re- | ccivc seats in the sections mentioned." There was the absent-minded professor who made a rule that the co-eds should not roll their hose, and then forgot to I notice if they obeyed. , Old Pioneer: "Them good ole times when there was stage robbers on the road j air gone forever." Collegian: "No, they're still on the road.
