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.

that the Tiger will not be in the mood
to lift the goal posts from their po1

Thursday. A Clemson Tiger will be

parade, which, if present plan^ materialize,

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.
