GAM ECO L SU. TIGERS REPELLED BY S.C. BIRDS I' Gamecocks Put Up Formidable Defensive To Whip Cohen's Bengals |, MILES BLOUNT SCORES Placement of Bru Boineau Provides Margin; Birds Play Best Game of .Year A twisting figure that darted through I the line and slipped successfully past the secondary defense, a straight, true placement that sped directly through the uprights, and a brilliant defense . put upt>y;in the neighborhood of eleven South Carolina Gamecocks spoiled the invasion of the high and mighty "Louisiana State Bengals on Melton Field last week and gave Carolina a 7 to 6 victory over the Tigers, sending the nation's leading scorers back to Baton Rouge still on the top of the J heap which classifies total points garnered first, but a more subdued aggregation than the one which had compiled 232 points in three previous games. A place-kick that strayed a few feet wide of the goal posts sent from the toe of Joe Almokary, Southern Conference leading individual scorer, gave the ~ Gamecocks a 7 to 6 advantage in the second quarter and every fan on the field and probably both coaches sa? back and began to wonder if the Carolinians could pace the Louisianans in scoring power during the remainder of the game. But there was to be no .more scoring. The Birds put up one of the most valiant defenses ever displayed on Melton Field, especially during the second half, and while Louisiana was n leveling line barrages from the dynamo of Reeves and Bowman at Carolina's line and heaving passes, sometimes for 40 and SO yards, the Birds retaliated with their great defensive work and at times had the Tigers backed up against their own goal line. Miles Blount, who elusively slipped through the Louisiana team for the v Biras' touchdown, was the main ground gainer of the day, running with the ball 12 times, gaining on nine for a total of 51 yards, and being held for no gain three times. Bru Boineau added the extra point after touchdown with a placement and was second in yardage gained for Carolina with 37 on four tries at ball toting. Hap Edens contributed a most important part in Carolina's victory with his sensational punting. Happy averaged 40.3 yards on fourteen punts. Several of his sailers were grounded by Bird linemen within the Louisiana 5yard line. Captain Bob Gres'sette played his usual smashing game, nipping ball luggers and spoiling L. S. U. plays on practically Wery occasion offered him. Allen Correll, Buddy Laval, Monk Shand, Harry Freeman, Bryant Adair, , and Curran Hughey, all put up great battles in the line, especially as they were pitted against one of the heaviest * lines in the Southern Conference. "Swetto" Hicks played a fine defensive game at his fullback post. Sid Bowman and Powell played splendid ball for the Tigers. Bowman 'Contributed a 55-yard return of a punt for the longest run of the day, while Powell featured in the line play of the | -visitors. 'The line up: CAROLINA L. S. U.

' ^ 1 rORK IS 1 BY LAVAL I RDS GET SET! Gamecocks Expected To 1 Be In Good Shape To ' | Meet Men of-Cody 1 28TH ANNUAL MEETING f| Bird Defense Clicking In Great Jl Fashion; Secret Practice Held By Laval i ^ Following their sensational victory % over the Louisiana State University Tigers last week, the Sotith Carolina -U Gamecocks have been sent through practice sessions this week behind re-.JH inforced blinds to the public. The Birds have no game scheduled for Saturday, JOw but have been directing their efforts. $j| exclusively toward the Clemson game ^i| next Thursday at the state fair grounds, Miles Blount who crossed the h. S. U. goal line for the first time this year^l last Saturday and was the Birds' best ground gainer, received a knee injury -'J|| as Carolina defeated the first of the W ! four Tiger teams on its schedule thii i'J year but he has been attending recent practices and is expected to take over his halfback post when the Gamecocksj|| lineup against the Tigers next Thurs- |1 Thursday's will be the 28th claiHl between the Tiger and the Gamecock, the two schools opening ahtletic re- H lations on the gridiron 34 yeard ago in ; j 1896. Since that date the Tigers have | been victorious in 18 of these contests | and the Birds in eight, and one game v! terminated in a scoreless tie. The defensive merits of the Birds met < a great test last Saturday in the L. S. ; U. game. The heavy Tiger linemen v|| were able to do nothing with the Game- J cock wall in spite of the desperate thrusts of the Louisianians in the clos- Jj ing quarter. Only the offensive play of the Gamecocks is in question. Carolina I has engaged in four games this year? and in the three victories which it has won, the defensive play of the Birds ; has been mainly responsible with oply an occasional necessity for offensive M spurts. The long practice period behind closed gates, however, is expected to prime the Birds for varied display of offensive talent, and it is hoped by I Gamecock supporters that Coach Laval's crew will continue its fine de- il fensive work and at the same time de- || velop an attack by next Thursday that will bewilder the Clemson Tiger and add a ninth victory for the Gamecocks over their arch rival.
