Hatfield and Hitchock were the power of the Auburn attack. Between " them they accounted for the Plainsmen's points. Hatfield raced 36 yards t to a score. Then a while later Hitch- ( cock galloped 66 yards to another six t points. In the third period Hitchock plunged 38 yards through the Game- t cock line to another tally after Hat- , field had advanced the ball to the < Carolina 38-yard line in three plays from midfield. The last touchdown was made by ! Hatfield in the last period after the t ball was placed in scoring position by j Hitchock on a pass from Hatfield. i Gressette and Boineau turned in ? noteworthy performances in their s . farewell games for the Garnet and ( Black. j With this game the Birds closed t their season with a record of four victories and three defeats within the conference.

Various combinations of all-state earns have been suggested, all doing ustice to some of the great players of he state, but none bestowing just tonor and credit on all the so-called est of the state. As long as football lolds the public's eye as it now does, ports writers will probably continue 0 select, or attempt to select, an alltar team for a particular section; but ust as long as sports writers name alltar teams, that profession will be inged with the color of unjustness. Should there be mapped out some ;ystematic method of selecting an alliectional team in a sport, the naming >f some committee or group that vould pay close and thorough attenion to the exhibitions of the many :ontcs^ants, then the selecting of these earns would not fall through so completely in the minds of the fairninded. Under the present system, the iverage sports writer makes his :hoices equipped only with knowledge gathered in seeing exhibitions of ihtletes of one school, usually the lome town one, probably several imes and of other institutions only ibout once. He is forced to supplenent his knowledge with accounts of fames by other sports writers, which, iccording to time-honored criticisms, five the bulk of the credit to the backs ind afford very little information on he performance of the linesmen. In a small commonwealth such as South Carolina, the task of selecting in all-state team probably isn't as aulty as in larger states, but the very houghts of naming an all-Southern earn seems to us beyond reason, while he idea of selecting the eleven best ootball players in the United States s out of all proportions to a sanehinking mind. Coach Laval and ithers who refused to pick all-secional teams are to be commended for heir actions. Although the big gridiron scramble if 1930 in this state has passed on, riany interesting battles are on tap or neighboring states this week. One 1 the bitterest of all pigskin feuds /ill take place at Chapel Hill tonorrow when the University of North Carolina tackles the fast-stepping )uke eleven.

He gave his best performam played consistently all year. He is also SOPHOMORES SI BIRDS DOWN N IN FINAL HOM The Gamecocks closed their hotru gridiron season two weeks ago Saturday by decisively trouncing the Nortl" Carolina State Wolfpack on Meltor field by the score of 19-0. The Birds devoted the entire first half to wearing down the stubborr State defense, but they stopped tc score a few points, for the cause, along the route. The first score came wher Captain Gressette fell on a State puni blocked by DeVaughn. At this poinl the crippled but dangerous Boineai was inserted to convert the extra point. Reynolds, a sophomore, and Blount a victory song?and maybe Chuck Collins of North Carolina is beginning to believe that same thing. The University of Georgia and Georgia Tech wind up the grid season for Crackerland in a game at Atlanta, while Tennessee and Florida match tackles at Jacksonville. These games will bring to a close the Southern Conference schedule with the nexf fireworks to be shot off in the Rose Bowl struggle between Alabama and the undefeated Washington State team on New Year's day. The S. I. A. A. season is brought to an end with the Miami-Western Teachers Kentucky night engagement and the lone and final intersectional tilt will be offered by Loyola and Detroit at New Orleans. Critics say this year that Wallace Wade has molded the greatest team he has put in Southern competition since he became football coach at Alabama eight years ngo?and that's saying something, for the Tide has twice made trips during the Wade regime to the Pacific coast to contest for the national championship in the annual Bowl of Roses tournament. Next year Wade moves his office to Durham where he will become head coach at Duke University, and Duke supporters are hoping that it will mean merely the shifting of scenes for his football achievements. After this season's record performance of the Duke team, alumni of the Durham | institution probably won't be satisfied with anything less than a national or , international championship next year anyway. I The Bowl of Roses game this year will be all the more interesting, due to the fact that Babe Hollingbery, coach of the Washington State Cougars who have been systematically mauling everything in the way of a football team along the Pacific Coast, is only a high school graduate.

RUT STUFF AS . C. STATE PACK IE PERFORMANCE : dashed in and out of the State line behind perfect interference for geni crous gains. It was Blount's 44-yard i dash that paved the way for Reynolds to score the - second touchdown. t Boineau was once again sent into the , battle, but this time his try for extra , point was wide. \ The next score resulted in the fourth i period after Blount and Reynolds had t alternated in carrying the ball down t from the Bird 41-yard line. Blount did i the actual scoring. i The ball carrying was faultless on the part of the Gamecocks, and the t exhibitions of the undergraduates . brought dreams of powerful Garnet . and Black elevens of the near future. ; The line functioned smoothly and was impregnable to the Wolfpack's thrusts. Gurneau was the outstanding player | for State. He thrilled the stands by his i bullet like passes to all parts of the , field. Coach Laval took advantage of i the opportunity in this game to work i many of his Sophomore players and ! they all came through in good fashion. The line up: Carolina (19) N. C.

Here's a short dispatch that a United Press operator sent out Saturday night for Sunday morning papers: "Columbia, S. C., Nov. 29/ ?(UP)?Miss Miles Blount, junior, a halfback of Mullins, S. C., has been elected captain of the University of South Carolina football team for 1931." ? | soccer-football tourney begun The intramural sgccer-football tournament will get under way next Wednesday afternoon at Melton field. The tournament will be played between the various tenements and fraternities for the championship of the University. The winning team ,will I receive a silver cup, and every member of said team will be awarded an individual medal. This will be the first time that I soccer has been played at the University of South Carolina, and it is hoped I that there will be a great deal of en- I thusiasm shown in order that the athletic authorities will i.feel justified in attempting to organize a varsity team to represent the University in the near future. u.
