BIRDS SE1 SOCCER TO BE INAUGURATED AT CAROLINA SOON Jack Crawford Planning Intramural Soccer Football Tournament TO ACT AS STARTER First Call for Candidates to be Issued on December First By O. H. Skewes Soccer football, an up and coining sport that is gaining popularity with each passing year in southern colleges, is soon to be inaugurated at the University, according to Jack Crawford, director of physical education. Around December first, Mr. Craw;H ford is going to call for candidates to represent their various dormitories in a series of intramural soccer football games. This is the first year that or, ganized soccer football has been played ~t?:; at the University of South Carolina, therefore, it is up to the student body to turn out and give this sport their undivided support. The success of soccer at Carolina H depends entirely upon the attitude that H the students take towards the sport. H Jack Crawford has worked diligently I, i in devising careful plans for the introduction of soccer into the realm of < sport at Carolina. He proposes to start the sport as in intramural activity in J order to get the students acquainted with the game, then if enough en thusiasm is shown, plans will be made for a varsity and freshman team in the future. Soccer is by no means an effeminate sport. It is a real he-man game which requires plenty of brawn, speed and skill. It is a sport that is rapidly gain1 inK popularity as a Fall sport to suppleH ment football. Last season fifty leadH ing American colleges had varsity soccer teams which was an increase of eight colleges over the previous year. The schedules also increased as nearly B 1 half of the teams played seven or more P intercollegiate matches. The colleges which placed the outstanding teams on the field last Fall were Yale, Penn. State, U. of Penn., Harvard, Haverford, Dartmouth, Princeton and Springfield. Penn. State was awarded the Intercollegiate Soccer Association championship by virtue of its no defeat record in seven games. It is up to every loyal Carolinian to support Jack Crawford and the candidates for the team in order that Carolina will be up with the leading colleges of the soccer world. A Southern Conference Soccer league is only possible if every student is back of the movement. -?-o. s. c. PURMAN NEXT FOR CAROLINA CHICKS The Carolina Gamechicks will trek up to Greenville November '14 to tackle the Furman freshmen. The Little Wind is reputed as having a strong aggregation this year and it is pointing to beat the powerful Carolina eleven. # With the exception of Campbell and Stoud, fullback and end, the Biddie squad is in excellent shape and Coach Norman is working the chicks hard in preparation for what promises to be a Hard struggle. Last year the Carolina freshman vanquished the Purple and White "rats" by a 13 to 7 scorc, and this year's outfit is seeking to repeat. JAMES LOST TO FROSH SQUAD FOR SEASON The freshman football squad, suffered the loss of one of its most promising halfbacks last week when Joe James dislocated his collar bone. The accident occurred in a fierce scrimmage and "rat" James will not be able to play any more this season. James, although light, is a speedy little back and was <roing good at the time of his injury. He hails from Chester where he starred for several years on the high school team there. ^ ^' ... ..n- -X ; ^ VI ' ? ' AMIBM C, S m B o^B ^-'H.I^^2>!

Week-ends continue to roll aroiind at seven-day intervals and Duke University, keeps on adding football elevens to its casualty list. Other than the defeat handed the Tarheel gridsters on September 27 by the Gamecocks, the Blue Devils have a perfect record with successive victories over Virginia, Davidson, Annapolis, Wofford, and Villa Nova since their opening game with the Birds. Jimmy DeHart's warriors take on Skipper Shipwreck Kelly's Kentucky Wildcats this week and with the odds slightly against them, win or lose, it can not be said that Duke hasn't done its bit for the University of South Carolina. The Football Special has rounded the halfway mark, left enthusiastic alumni with nothing but words to show for their bright predictions of dear old This'n That's chances to cop conference, association, state, or national honors, and only two teams remain undefeated in the Southern Conference and Presbyterian College has the edge on the field in the S. I. A. A. scramble. Alabama weathered Kentucky's threat at Lexington for its fourth victory within the conference, while Florida and Georgia eliminated each | other by ending their argument in a scoreless tic. Tulane, with two confer-1 ence victories, is the other undefeated team. Both Alabama and Tulane have excellent chances to finish the season with perfect records. The Tide has three more 1 conference opponents in Florida, LouisI iana State, and Georgia, while the deI fending champion Green Wave of Tulane has about the same schedule with Auburn, Georgia, and Louisiana State I yet to be played. Two Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association opponents I separate Coach Walter Johnson's Blue I Stockings from an S. I. A. A. crown. I Following the Wake Forest tilt at Asheville Saturday, the Calvinists play Erskine and Newberry to close their play within the association. With new equipment on hand, the University of South Carolina archery team will get down to real work next Monday for its first meet on Thanksgiving day with the Pee Dee Area Council of Darlington. There is a possibility that this match will*be shifted to the Saturday after Thanksgiving, but this has not been definitely decided upon. Beginning I Monday, Marion Yates, who is coaching the team, will conduct practices every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Many new candidates have been added to the squad during the past few days and although the sport is a new one at the University (it was inaugurated last year) much interest is being manifested in the coming meets.

Captain Bob Gressette, of St. Matthews, playing before a near-hometown crowd played an alert and aggressive game throughout and he, with "Bru" Boineau, who with two beautiful runs, placed the ball in scoring position for Carolina's first touchdown, received the honors of the day in the Birds' victory. Giessette smashed a punt off the toe of Gray as he attempted to punt out after the Gamecocks had rushed the Cadets back against their own 7-yard line and trotted across the goal line for the second Carolina touchdown. The Bird captain missed by inches blocking several punts and when he did break through to stop one it was no surprise to the large fair crowd that had gathered to watch the struggle. Carolina's first touchdown came in the second quarter when Boineau leaped high in the air to intercept one of quarterback Wilson's passes and the Bird back was not brought down until he had reached the Cadet 34-yard line. After a line play, Boineau circled his left end for 33 yards to put the ball on the one yard line, and from there Miles Blount carried it over. Boincau's kick was good. In the middle of the fourth quarter Gressette blockcd Gray's punt, picked the ball up on the 3-yard line and carried it over for a touchdown. Other than these two spurts neither the Citadel nor Carolina could do anything with the opposing line and the remainder of the game was spent ir tor with atch . .
