TIGERS TAKE ANNUAL GAME Before a mighty throng of 15,000 souls, Clemson's powerful Tigers throttled practically every South Carolina offensive move and annexed for the fourth straight year the annual state fair battle between South Carolina's two Southern Conference foes last. Thursday by the score of 20 to 7. Gamecock hopes for a victory over their traditional rivals were skyrocketed before five minutes of play had been clocked when "Bru" Boineau eased through the Clemson line, pointed to the middle of the field to gallop 64 yards for the first touchdown. Boineau added the extra point. But from this point on the Aggies CIMEK FOR ATHLETIC FOOT I ECZEMA?ITCH?PIMPLES, ETC.

Clemson successfully got by South Carolina in the state fair ' battle, and Furman was engaged outside ' of the state, first place being left to these two teams with five victories, no defeats, and two victories, no defeats > respectively.

Captain Justus, Welch, Jones, Woodruff, Davis, Yarborough, and the rest of the Tigers turned in a bitand of play that was far superior to that which I the Birds put up and Clemson's victory was a deserving one. Entering the battle a slight favorite, the Codymcn tied the score and forged into the lead only a short while after the second period got under way. Welch, receiving the ball from center I in midfield, punted and the ball was downed by a Clemson man on Carolina's one-yard marker. The ball was 1 punted out and here the Tigers pulled I a smart passing play on the Birds, sending the ends to the sidelines to draw out the Carolina backs and set the stage for a pass from Welch directly over center, which, after* being partially broken up, fell into the arms of Jones for a touchdown. Harvin placekicked the extra point and the score was tied at 7-7. Following the kickoff, Carolina resorted to the air but the attack was cut short when Justus intercepted a pass and ran h back to Carolina's 37yard line.

Clemson defeated the Gamecocks and we'll have to wait a whole year for another one of these "classics." Time honored declarations of "wait until next year" are now in order, as loyal Carolina supporters seek to explain the Clemson victory. There is really no explanation, except that Clemson clearly demonstrated her superiority on the gridiron. However, let it be said here, that those cries of "wait" are well founded for on the yearling farm the Gamecocks have a sweet looking flock of chicks hatching. Another hurricane hit Florida last week and left in its wake a humbled, crushed University of Florida eleven. Furman's Big Wind, filling its first engagement with the 'Gators since 1922 when the textile city collegiates trimmed the Floridians in a great upset by the same margin of one point, 7 to 6, scored two touchdowns and kicked both extra points while Red Bethea and his mates I made two touchdowns but converted only one extra point, giving the South Caro-1 linians a 14 to 13 victory. With the halfway mark in the football season reached, the race for 1930 Southern Conference football honors has narrowed down to four outstanding teams. Georgia, Kentucky, Tulane, and Alabama are regarded as the most dangerous teams I with championship punches. Following I their victory last week over Virginia, tlie Kentucky Wildcats, Shipwreck Kelly and all, are now priming for successive games with Alabama, Duke, V. M. I. and Tennessee while Tulane, defending J champion, successfully past Georgia Tech, is prepping for the Mississippi Aggies Saturday at New Orleans. Probably the most interesting battle listed for the week is the Kentucky-Alabama tilt at Lexington. I Georgia's Bulldogs shouldn't have much I trouble weathering the invasion of Florida's 'Gators at Athens. The announcement made a few days before the Carolina-Clemson game by h South Carolina athletic authorities barring press association wires for the purpose of reporting a play-by-play account of the game stirred up a storm of protest and comment both in and out of the 1 state. Althou&h Dr. Foster and the com- ! mittee responsible for the statement deny- J < ing press rights doubtless meant well, j the violent protests resulting were easy to understand. Had the newspaper ban I been insisted upon by the committee it , would indeed have been a situation with- < put precedent, and this with the high , interest felt annually in the Carolina- < Clemson game explains the vigorous pro-1' tests. At this time it seems that the Carolina- J Clemson game will be played again next I year at the State fair as usual, which is contrary to previous announcements to the effect that the 1930 game would be J! the last of the fair week battles between ' these two schools. Very naturally Coaches J Laval and Cody desire the game at a I' later date in the season because the game, ' coming as early as it does, works the 1 student bodies and alumni of the two ' schools up to such a point that games ' scheduled after the Carolina-Clemson game are considered of minor impor- ' tance. The important result is that there ' is a serious let-up in the play of the ] teams. Every effort and hope to stage the J game at a later date is blocked because p South Carolina has no stadium to satisfy < the demand for tickets. j TURNER'S DRY CI Same Block wit! ORANGI W?

Biddies Swamp Cubs By In a splendid exhibition of running, blocking, and tackling the University qf South Carolina freshmen swamped the olemson Cubs last Wednesday in the prelude to the Carolina-Clemson state fair game by the score of 26 to 7. Smoothness and coordination were loticeable factors in the Biddie victory, Coach A. W. Norman's boys putting an a show whose equal is rarely seen in Columbia in the way of freshmen games. The Biddies were probably even stronger than the score indicates but fumbles at 1 ^ritical times and the scrappy Clemson Cubs who put up a gallant fight held the score down. Earl Clary was the sensation of the Jay, leading the offensive play of the Birds with sweeping end runs. He gave i finished demonstration of how to follow interference as he used his mates handily to dash into the open where his Heetness and elusiveness did the rest. Grayson Wolfe ran the team and also broke loose for some long gains. Hejek, stocky Biddic center, was acting captain and he with the powerful rushing tactics of his heavyweight mates, EI us key, Fortson, Moorehcad, and McManus and the two flankmen, Raby and 'Ulp, never allowed the lighter Cub eleven to launch any sustained drive.

The game will take place at the Orangeburg county fair. The Biddies have displayed tremen-, dous driving power in their two victories, Earl Clary leading the way in the backfield and seven linemen who will mash anybody's scales for an average weight of 195 pounds blazing the trail out in front. Grayson Wolfe, who ran the team in the Clemson freshmen game in excellent style will quarterback the Biddies Thursday while Casen, Barentine, and Clary will round out the four backs. Hejek will in all probability hold down the center position and Fortson and Moorehead, the guards; Huskey and McManus should start at the tackles with Culp and Raby on the ends. Williard, Johnson, Marion, Shinn, Stoddard, Meers, Stroud, Hambright, Robbins, Joe and Dick Shinn, Campbell, and several others will undoubtedly see much service before the final whistle.
