A crowd of approximately 10,000 saw the game at the State fair ground bowl. Dick Shinn, versatile Carolina quarterback, led the offense with two touchdowns against the upstaters, scoring in the first and third quarters. The first counter was a result of a fumbled punt which Adair recovered on the Hurricane three-yard line. Shinn carried the ball over from there. The second counter was made when the Gaffney- Ghost, Earl Clary, intercepted a Furman pass and ran for 25 yajeds through the entire team for the second touchdown. Chuck Hajek accounted for the third touchdown when he intercepted a pass on the Furman 42 yard line and ran it over for the count. At the half the score stood 200 in favor of Carolina, Hajek having also converted two extra points. Dick Shinn gained six yards on a lateral pass for the last marker in the third period. The Birds completely outplayed the visitors, making 11 first downs to Furman's four, gaining 176 yards from scrimmage against 48 and interceptJUS JONES || "Biggest Little Place in Town'' Central Union Building 'Phone 7000 i^^ y?? ? ? ? ? ? ? - - - ..... cfiaieMk/ktt weMJUrinSt * Welcome St CAROLINA Breakfast 20c "Where Everj 1204 Main St. "The House < THE R.

V " >o Batth tate G Cock-A-Doodles By ALLEN ROLLINS * ALL SMILES Barney Early, efficient.alumni secretary, was all smiles after the Furman game. He had a right to be. It was his birthday, homecoming day, and Carolina had won. It's getting to be a habit, this thing of Carolina's winning a homecoming battle on "Pap's" birthday. Back in 1927 when he became alumni secretary at Carolina, his birthday and the homecoming day game with North Carolina arrived simultaneously. Carolina won, 14 to 7, over a Tarheel team that was doped to beat the Gamecocks somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 points. FOUR OUT OF FIVE Mr. Early inaugurated homecoming day games at the University in 1927 and in the five that have been staged since that year Carolina has been victorious in four. The Gamecocks defeated North Carolina, 14 to 7, in 1927; nosed out Furman, G to 0, in 1928; lost to North Carolina, 42 to 0, in 1929; defeated Scwanee, 14 to 13, last season; and downed Furman, 27 to 0, before the old grads this year. HOW LONG Now that South Carolina has come nto her own in state football circles, :hc big question to the alumnus and to :hose dear to the University is how long will the 1931 grid domination last and what arc the prospects for the immediate future? OUTLOOK GOOD Compared to the immediate outlook for other South Carolina elevens, what the next few seasons hold in store for the University may be described in giltedged terms. And this in the face of the Clemson Tiger's "Crow, little Bantam, crow, for next year you are going to be picked cleaner than if you had been run through a vacuum cleaner backwards." OPTIMIST And by the way, how's that for op;imism? The Tiger predicts a Clem>on victory next year right in the face }f the 17-0 lacing the Biddies handed the Cubs this year, notwithstanding the. 21-0 rout of the Tigers in the varsity ^fray, and in spite of the preponJerance of sophomore material that figured in Carolina's victory. Making predictions like that and betting on them is about as safe as crossing itreets these days reading a newspaper. LOSE FOUR Graduation will take four men from the Carolina varsity this year, Captain Miles Blount, efficient blocking fullback, lAlternate-Captain Curran Hughey, guard, Bryant Adair, tackle, and Buddy Laval, end. Of the seven other members of the varsity, all are sophomores except "Fuzz" Freeman, who is a junior. Dave Meers, Chuck Hajek, and itfolan Raby in the line and Earl Clary, Dick Shinn, andf Fred Hambright in the backfield are all playing their first year on the varsity. RESERVES GOOD Among the reserve backs arc Grayson Wolfe, triple threat quarterback, Bill Barrentine, "Rabbit" Turner, and Bbb Robbins, all sophomores, and As:or Fleming, a junior. Sophomore reserve linesmen include Joe Shinn, 204, ivho played first string center until he suffered a knee injury in the Tech same; Joe Johnson, 205, tackle; BudJy Moorehead, 200, and Nelson Fortson, 190, guards; Louis Kerpec, 178, md Henry Willard, 175, ends; and Henry McManus, 209, tackle. Bill Gillmorc, 160, Tom Brantley, 190, and Ernest Correll, 191, are juniors, and Allen Correll, 185, Frank Bostick, 170,' md Redding DeVaughan, 180, are among the seniors.

Raby, 190-pound Macon -youth, has held down the right end position for the Gamecocks through most of the struggles this year, showing his best form against Louisiana State in Baton Rouge. Raby also put up a splendid exhibition on getting down under punts and stopping end plays against Furman. No Big Upsets Past Saturday Duke's 7-0 Victory Over Kentucky Conference Surprise; Georgia Wins No major upsets were registered on the nation's gridiron as favorites throughout the country breezed through their opponents, ^Saturday. Dnkc's 7-0 win over Kentucky was the biggest Southern Conference upset, the Wildcats having been heavy favorites. Georgia upheld the Soyth's reputation, downing N. Y. U's Violets 7-6 although outplayed most of the game, but the North retaliated with a 27-0 Columbia victory over Virginia. Georgia Tech held a favored North Carolina eleven to a 19-10 tie. Tulane's Greenies whipped a strong Auburn team 21-0 in a hard fought game, and L. S. U. dropped their game with Army, 20-0. Maryland, hitherto undefeated, went down beneath a Vanderbilt barrage 39-12. South Carolina's 27-0 victory over Furman's Purple Hurricane was expected, but Citadel suffered a setback at the hands of Davidson, 14-7.

Carolina Frosh Battle Furman Carolina s undefeated freshman eleven will meet Furman's Baby Hurricane here Friday afternoon in the Biddies' fourth game this season.

Clary stood eighth in the Southern Conference, 20 points behind Nollie Felts, Tulane line smasher, who led with 68 points. ......... ... jMI nrV ?p. TdT~( Title Tenement Grid Teams All Set / Crawford Sees Much Interest In Intramural Season Which Starts Soon By O. H. Skewes -'-'Intramural football will start off with a bang as soon as the varsity plays its last game of the season," said Jack Crawford in the sanctuary of his office yesterday. "I have been besieged with questions about this tournament, and I see that there is a great deal of enthusiasm over it, and we should have a lively affair," he said. Mr. Crawford said that he had some of the equipment ready for the men, but that he could not issue it for practice until the varsity had played its last game as no team will be allowed to practice while the varsity is still out. A great deal of skepticism has been shown by a few men who believe this tournament to be a fizzle. They believe too that they do not derive any benefit from it, but^yet might receive many injuries. Of'course, if oi>e has no interest in?the game it is worse than useless to go out and play, but as for injuries, that is another question. Jack Crawford has made it clear that he is holding this tenement football tournament for those who like to play football, and who have no chance of making the freshman or varsity teams. He also makes it plain that to prevent injuries he requires that every man who plays must have at least seven days of hard practice before he is allowed to go on the field in a game. As has been stated before, the cup that goes to the winning team will be awarded on a percentage basis, so that if a team should be defeated once it is not out of the funning. There will be one team to represent two tenements such as tenements one and two, three a*d four, and so on down the line. There will also be one : [ ' i COLUMBIA i Largest Producers of Grade "j that Good ] 917 Main Street "Home Made fot {. . , . t WE WELCOME CAI ; CAPITOL DRl 1213 Gervais Street ! > * *"*' * * ***"*|,'*?*??>??ii GAMECOCKS B THE COLL] A Shop for Cat College Nov* StationdryToilet A 1008 Sumter Street +...
