P. C. Frosh
, Opening Lineup Given
Light Freshman Team Will Face
First Opponent. Squad Out
To 35 Men
With their power and ability as yet
an unknown quantity, the Carolina
freshman eleven opens their five game
season here tomorrow against the
heavy Presbyterian freshman squad.
The squad, cut from approximately
70 to 35 men, will face one of the best
freshman teams that P.C. has ever
sent out and will be lucky to come out
ahead of the little team. Carolina's
team will be mainly a light fast-working
machine and will have nowhere
near the weight of last year's frosh
eleven. According to Coach Norman
the squad will not average more than
150 pounds, but a heavier team will be
out against the Blue Socklets.
In the backfield, the most prominent
candidates are Allie McDougall, Shack
McCrady, A. T. Pott Brown,' Harold
Mauney, Younce, Taylor, Hindman
and Roberts. On the line Odell, Ray,
Rowland, Bloom, McAbee, Freeman,
Belser and Watson. At least seven
former Columbia high men are out for
practice and several of them should
see action tomorrow. There are other
outstanding prospects from all over
the state and from other states.
The probable starting lineup tomorrow
will be: Munn and Roland,
ends; Becker and McAbee, tackles;
Sullivan and O'dell, guards; Mauney,
quarter; Brown and McDougall, halves
and McCrady fullback.
Bloom, Brown, Freeman, Belser,
Barnham, Ferguson and others will
probably see service during the afternoon.

Opening Week
Brings Upsets
With the Carolina-Duke contest the
worst upset of the week-end football
teams all over the South and the whole
country swung into action Saturday
and the remainder will get their baptism
of fire tomorrow.
In the state probably the most unexpected
upset was the 0-0 tie between
P. C. and Clemson. The valiant Blue
Stdcking team held the Tigers once
with the ball on the one inch line. The
S. I. A. A. champs should go far in
southern football circles this fall after
this showing.
Citadel showed early season weakness
and was trampled under a 26-0
score by the hard fighting Mercer
eleven. The cadets were clearly outclassed
throughout the game.
The only Southern conference team
to lose to*an outsider was the L. S. U.
squad which bowed to Texas Christian,
3-0.
N. C. State whipped the Davidson
wildcats 18-7 and the great North
Carolina eleven crushed Wake Forest
37-0.
The Alabama juggernaut trampled
Howard 42-0 in a runover while Tulane
conquered Ole Miss, 31-0. Tennessee,
led by the veteran Gene McEver
thrashed Maryville 33-0, but SeVvanee
took the measure of Tennessee
Tech, 24-7. In the east, Army crushed
Northern Ohio, 60-0, and N. Y. U.
beat Hobart, 65-0. In an upset, Penn
State lost, to little Waynesburg, 7-0.
Rhode Island whipped Maine, 8-7 in
a thriller.
In the mid-west, Indiana beat Ohio,
7-6, Nebraska licked S. Dakota, 44-6,
Chicago bowed to Hillsdale, 7-0.
The biggest upset on the west coast
was the 13-7 licking administered
Southern California by the sturdy St.
Mary's eleven. Washington beat Utah,
7-6.
U. 8. C.
The fighting between North and
South ended in '65 at Appomattox,
but it broke out again as soon as they
became bridge partners against East
and West.

STILL SOPHS
The question mark surrounding
South Carolina's much-heralded
Sophomores was partly settled in
the Birds' defeat of Duke last
week. But, as Mr. Hanley says,
they're still Sophomores.
ABOUT BALLYHOO
Gamecock boosters arc particularly
happy over Coach Laval's triumph over
the celebrated Mr. Wade's first team
at Duke because of the different ways
in which the two coaches treated inquiries
of sports writers concerning
the 1931 prospects. Laval frankly
admitted that he expected to have a
good team, that it would be composed
largely of sophomores, but good sophomores,
and that he thought the season
would be marked by wins and
losses alike.
Bemoaning Mr. Wade and the
Duke publicity bureau, on the
other hand, joined in setting up
a crying symphony. One article
sent out from the Durham office 1
had it that for every single thing
right there were three things
wrong. Bill Munday, poted sports
writer and radio v announcer,
visited the camps of the Devils
and Birds within a week's time
and the written product of his trip
to Columbia compared to that resulting
from his peep into the
home of the Devils and chat with
Mr. Wade makes it appear quite
ridiculous, especially after seeing
the Duke team in action, that
there could possibly exist so much
difference in the two teams.
HANLEY O. K.
Lee Hanley is doing a great work
with the Carolina backfield. Many
believe that the utterances of the
former great Northwestern quarterback
about a football renaissance at
Carolina are not idle talk.
KICKING GOOD
One of the many gratifying things in
Carolina's victory last week was the
kicking. On the only Gamecock kickoff,
Chuck Hajek booted the ball over
the goal line and then split the uprights
with the try for extra point
after .Clary had done his touchdown
act. Fred Hambright and Grayson
Wolfe indicated with several long
spirals that the punting department
would not go wanting for a capable
kicker.
WHAT-A-MAN
Barney Earl Clary, Gaffney
powerhouse, had the ball flipped
to him from center exactly 27
times in the Duke game. On all
but three occasions he registered
a gain. Altogether he gained 103
yards through the line and tossed
one pass for a gain of 20 yards.
WHATAMANI
TIGERS- STRONG
With 21 letterincn and a hefty group
of Sophomores including a six-foot,
five-inch, 250-pound tackle, returning,
supporters of L. S. U., Carolina's opponent
after the Tech game Saturday,
are expecting a good season despite
a 3-0 defeat suffered by the Tigers at
the hands of Texas Christian.

Varsity Licks
Duke Gridders
With a line-smashing, daredevil half,
in the person of Earl Clary, and a line
showing mid-season form in spite of
the great heat, the highly touted Carolina
Gamecocks came through expected
style and crushed the Duke
Blue Devils under a 7-0 score, before
a crowd of 13,000 at the state fair
grounds Saturday.
Breaking through the Duke team
early in the second quarter for a
touchdown, the Birds played heads-up
ball throughout the game and only
once was the Blue machine in scoring
distance. This was late in the fourth
quarter when a long pass was completed
from Laney to James, but was
called back because it was out of
bounds. James had but five yards to
go and an open field in front of him.
Earl Clary, the Gaffney flash, was
undoubtedly the star of the day, making
the only marker of the day and
gaining on every play except three.
He made a total of 103 yards during
the afternoon and was out of the game
part of the second quarter when Coach
Laval sent in the second string men.
Chuck Hajek place kicked the extra
point behind an impregnable line.
Carolina's second string men held
as rigidly as the first line men and
Grayson Wolfe and Hambright
showed up well as punters. Hambright
was the most consistent ground
gainer besides Clary and Captain
Blount played a remarkably well balanced
game. Blount was injured
slightly in the third quarter but will !
be ready for the Tech game.
Carolina received 55 yards by pen- |
altics while the Devils lost 35 in the |
same manner. Wallace Wade caused t
the Devils to lose 15 yards when he
stepped on the field to protest a decision.
The 60 piece Duke band was a feature
of the afternoon.

In a recent edition of "Believe

Coach Billy Laval appeared
with the following caption :
"Billy Laval, Univ. of S.
Carolina has been a football
coach for 16 years but has
never played in a game."

Birds Take Workout
Carolina Given Even Chance To
Stop Tornado; Game Will Be
Called At 3 O'Clock
By ALAN SCHAFER
With their lineup unchanged from
that of *he Duke game, the Carolina
Gamecocks will clash with the Yellow
Jackets of Georgia Tech tomorrow at
2 o'clock, Atlanta time (3 o'clock, Columbia
time). The varsity left thirty
strong this morning for Grant field,
Atlanta.
A light work out was taken this;
afternoon to oil and smooth the func
tions of the Gamecock machine. The
45 piece Carolina band will arrive in
Atlanta this afternoon and several
hundred Carolina students and alumni
will be in Atlahta for the game tomorrow.
*
The loss of Tom Cain, fullback last
season, now playing tackle will set
back the Jacket hopes quite a bit.
However, Coach Jack Cannon has a
second string team with everything
that the first liners can boast of, and
substitutions will not weaken the Tech
team in any department. Although
Coach Cannon has announced no
starting lineup, a, Tc'ch starter will
come from the following men:
Ray Isaacs, Jerry Goldsmith, Sid
Williams and Tarzan Lackay, ends;
Captain " Monk" Neblett will be a
certainty at center and in the backfield
a veteran lineup is the probability,
consisting of Roy McArthur at quarter
and Barron and Hart at the halves and
Ben Cherry, .full. However, Davis,
Galloway, Black, Peeler and Peterson
may break into the box. The oth>r
linesmen will come from Ezell, Farmer,
Brady, Jones, Tharpe, Gardener,
Clingan and Mortan. Outstanding
here are Jones, Tharpe, Ezell and
Farmer.
Carolina doubtless will send in the
same team as last Saturday, namely,
Laval, Hajek, ends; Adair and Meers,
tackles; Hughey and Freeitian, guards;
Joe Shinn, center; Clary and Hambright
at the halves, Dick Shinn at
quarter and Captain Miles Blount at
fullback.
This is Carolina's sccond conference
game and a victory will put them in
the lead of the southern parade for
honors. Most of the outstanding
sports writers are giving Carolina an
even chance in this game while Ed
Danforth, sports editor of the Atlanta
Georgian has picked the Gamecocks to
trample the Yellow Jackets.
