The Bullpups boast a strong aggregation and promise to offer the Biddies plenty of competition. However, the Bird Freshmen, now a smoothly working machine since its 17-0 licking of Clemson, are pointing toward the state freshman championship with only the Bullpup squad and the Furman Little Wind standing in their way. Coach Norman will take about 35 men with him to the Bulldog stronghold. The starting lineup that was used in the Clemson game may be again employed although the backfield that played the second half of that game showed up somewhat better and it is possible that the latter will be used, namely, McDougall, Mc* Crady, Mauney* and Brown. u. s. c.

Clemson was clearly outplayed during the entire game, the only time the Biddies' goal line was in danger loosing when the Clemson team had eight yards to go for a score on a first down. The Carolina line held however and the ball went over. The outstanding star on the Clemson squad was Henry Woodward, former Columbia high star who played against seven of his former teammates iii the game. Carolina's backfield showed up especially well with the starting .backfield, Evans, *Mauney, Brown and Riley fighting in the first touchdown. McCrady and McDougall went in the \second - half, for Evans and Riley completing the Columbia High backfield of lO.'JO^ An intercepted pass was run back 50 yards by McCrady for the second touchdown of the day, after Evans had placed a field goal between the uprights to give the Biddies a 17-0 advantage.

Johnny, you remember, was the scalper-in-chief in the 32-0 victory for Cody's clan that year. MAGIC JERSEYS Cheap, ragged affairs, purchased to be used in hot weather, Carolina's "good luck" red jerseys worked their charm again in the Gamecocks' conquest of Clemson Thursday. The score at the half was 0-0 but a little change of clothing and?presto! Three touchdowns and a 21-0 victory. Duke has been beaten twice and Citadel, Erskine, L. S. U., N. C. State, Sewanee, and Clemson once each in these jerseys. The team has never lost when the cotton outfits were worn. BIRDS BEST In twenty-four games played between Carolina and the Citadel since 1905, the Cadets have been held scoreless thirteen times. On only five occasions have the Bulldogs scored more than ten points while their largest score was 20 points, made in 1915. Carolina has won 10 games, Citadel 5, and 3 have ended in a scoreless tie. FLEET RAMPANT An Erskine alumnus, asked' about his Alma Mater's tie with Furman, is said to have exclaimed: "Why, we weren't even worried about that game. We figured on beating the Hurricane but Jakie Todd became overconfident and sent two of his best players to scout Newberry and?Well, what*s the use? Wonder what team Jakie was scouting Saturday when the Fleet held Davidson to a scoreless tie? % FOR JACOBS AWARD Harry Freeman, who made all-state guard as a sophomore member of the varsity last year and won second place in the William 1'. Jacobs award for the best blocking and interference man in the state, should come in for a great deal of consideration in the awarding of the 1931 Jacobs trophy. Harry has been power in the Carolina line this year. Ilis part in the Hirds' second* half comeback against Clemson was particularly conspicuous. ALL BEATEN Although the 1931 football season has barely reached the halfway mark, not a major team in the two Carolinas remains undefeated. Furman and P. C. were the last to join the list of conquered teams, while Wofford, Carolina, Clemson, Newberry, Erskine, Citadel, North Carolina! N. C. State, Duke, Davidson, and Wake Forest have all been humbled. CHEATED Coach A.vW. Norman was cheated out of some of the pleasure of seeing his Biddies run rampant over the Clemson Cubs Wednesday, 17-0, through loss of his pocketbook at the State fair. U. H. C.

It will mark the first time in years that the Birds and Bulldogs have met with a victory apiece over Clemson. Citadel holds a 0-0 decision over the Tigers while the Gamecocks bested Neeley's crew, 21 to 0. Boasting one of the best, if not the best, fullback in the state in Ed Mcintosh and a scrapping line, which in- r' eludes 306-pound Dclmar "Big-Boy",^ Rivers, the Bulldogs arc hoping to win j their third state victory Thursday and practically eliminate the Birds from further bidding for their first football title. They will have to aid their caused such stars as Larkin Jennings, Mc-?{ Intosh, Quartcrman, League, Captain., Whittington, King and others. Carolina will probably depend chiefly on its running attack for a victory, although Gamecock backers look for a better aerial demonstration than that which the Birds threw againjt Clemson, only one pass being successful and that for a loss of two yards. The Gamecocks would start the same lineup that defeated Clemson last week. Joe Shinn, who was injured io. the L. S. II. game, is still out nursing.1 his knee. Hajek will be at center in ; Shinn's place. CAROLINA | jl tANGEBURG j |1 r headquarters j |S STING ROOM | M Rates iw Hotel \ I pH I e- |l fA-DATA'S || 4 O'CLOCK I
