Scoring a touchdown on the Carolina
second string in the second quarter
after tallying a safety in the opening
stanza, the Praying Colonels of
Centre soundly thrashed an indifferent
Gamecock team Saturday, 9-7 in a
game on Melton Field played for
charity.
The Colonels played a surprising
' game from the outset and had the
I Birds on the run the entire game, except
for a 30-yard drive down the field
I by the Birds in the third quarter which
accounted for the lone Carolina touch
down.
Approximately 3,000 spectators paid
H $2,278 to see the game and the OrI
phanage received approximately $700
of this. Expenses amounted to $1,600.
! Two fumbles by Shinn and HamI
bright gave the Centre team its safety
I in the first period. Centre's passing
/ attack began functioning in the second
I period and the Colonels brought the
ball from their own 40-yard line to
I Carolina's 4-yard stripe where Noe,
Centre back carried it over. BarksI

Cock-A-Doodles I
By ALLEN ROLLINS
Carolina played ten games before
approximately 100,000 spectators this
season, probably the largest season attendance
in the history of football at
the University. About 15,000 persons
witnessed the Gamecocks' victory over
Duke at the fair grounds; 15,000 saw
Georgia Tech score twice in the second
half to beat the Birds two touchdowns
in Atlanta; 12,000 saw L. S. U.
nose out Carolina at Baton Rouge;
12,000 were present when Clemson's
Tigers were beaten at the fair grounds;
8,000 saw the Birds vanquish Citadel
at Orangeburg; 11,000 saw the Furman
game at the fair grounds, 12,000
the Florida game at Tampa, 6,000 the
N. C. State game on Melton Field,
7,000 the Au|>urn game in Montgomery,
and 3,000 the Centre game on
Melton Field.
STOLEN?A WORD
The less said about the loss ,
to Centre last week the better.
But something was evident during
that game that won't go
down in the records. The word
made famous by Ted Husing, radio
announcer, in describing the
play in one particular game of
Harvard's Barry Wood could be
applied to the Gamecocks' performance
against the Praying Colonels
without any fear of censure
from even the players themselves.
Putrid is the word and
putrid it be. True Centre had a
good team and beyond any doubt
deserved .to win. Carolina was
plainly stale from a hard season
and an exacting game with Auburn
ten days previous. It would
have taken a super coach at his
best under similar conditions to
keep the squad at any high degree
of efficiency in the fundamentals
or maintain anything approaching
the desired mental attitude
for a team to perform as it
is capable of performing.
dale converted and the score was Centre
9-Carolina 0.
In the third quarter Adair blocked a
Centre punt on the Kentuckians' 40yard
line and a series of runs by Clary
and Shinn put the ball on Centre's
3-yard line where the GafTney ghost
carried it over in two tries. Hajek
converted.

TWO TO ONE
Saturday's visit of the Praying Colonels
to Columbia marked the third
gridiron clash between Carolina and
Centre. In 1922, Centre drubbed the
Gamecocks, 40 to 0; in 1925, the Colonels
took a 20-0 beating; and the odd
game went to the Kentuckians Saturday,
9 to 7.
NO BAD DEFEATS
Carolina has finished probably
its most successful season. Only
the 1921, 1925, and 1926 season
records can approach the work
of the 1931 team. Forgetting the
Centre game for the moment, the
1931 season recorded five victories,
three defeats and one tie.
The victories were won over
Duke, Clemson, Citadel, Furman,
and N. C. State; the losses were
suffered at the hands of Georgia
Tech, L. S. U., and Auburn; and
the tie game was played with Florida.
Two of the three season
defeats were by one-touchdown
margins and Tech was victorious
by a brace of touchdowns.
4 GOOD SEASONS
In 1921, 1925, and 1920, the exceptional
seasons mentioned above, Carolina's
worst defeats were by one touchdown.
However, 1920 recorded a 630
rout by the Naval Academy, 1922 a
12-0 defeat by Centre, 1923 a 23-3
set-back by Furman, and as late as
1929 North Carolina whipped the
Gamecocks, 40-0. With the exception
of four years, Carolina, since football
first was played at the University,
has suffered at least one crushing
defeat every season, the average
worst-defeat score per season easily
amounting to a 30-point margin.
SUCH A PIKER
A recent article in the Greenville
Observer urging the removal
of Dad Amis aB head coach at
Furman and supporting "Dizzy"
McLeod, now freshman coach at
the Baptist school, as Amis' successor,
states that the "'fortythousand-dollar'
freshman teams
at Carolina have been able to do
nothing with the McLeod coached
ORDINARY freshman teams at
Furman." Well, Mr- Radical
County Weekly, far be it from the
Gamecock to attempt to'explain a
football team. It's just not done

Senior End And Sophomore Quarterback
Mentioned By Associated
Press
Buddy Laval, playing his final year
of football at Carolina and Grayson
Wolfe, stellar sophomore quarterback
were named on the list of players receiving
honorable mention on the 1931
Associated Press Ail-American Football
team.
Laval played his best year at end
this season. He played his best games
against L. S. U. and N. C. State.
Wolfe's remarkable triple threat performance
all season earned him his
mention. His passing and kicking
"ere outstanding and he gained ground
consistently as a ball carrier. His
best games were against Georgia
Tech and Florida.

Hanley Gives
Birds Praise
Backfield Coach Lauds Work Of
Gamecocks; Would Return
For 1932 Season
Lee Hanley, backfield coach at
Carolina this year wrote last week a
series of articles on football at the
school for The Columbia Record in
which he praised the fighting spirit
of the entire Carolina squad. '
, He recounted the entire football
season, naming the Furman and N. C.
State games the ones in which the
team functioned at its highest point
of efficiency. He also pointed to the
Duke victory with pride and called
the 6-6 tie with Florida a moral victory
as the Gamecocks scored in the
last minute of play.
Hanley will go to New York City
soon to meet his brother Dick, head
coach at Northwestern University. He
expressed a keen desire to return to
the University as backfield coach next
season.

.these days. But, frankly, "fortythousand"
seems very much of a
piker's figure compared to the exhibition
those sophomores (graduates
of one of the freshman
teams to which the Observer refers)
put up against the Hurricane
this year. The phrase "million-dollar"
would have been
much more appropriate. Also the
"McLeodKcoached ORDINARY
freshman teams at Furman" have
had to perform on them such men
as Williams, Ohlsen, Kearns,
Wells, Pearson, Stewart, Smith,
Robeson, Burnett, and Galiga who
hail from North Carolina, Texas,
Oklahoma, Virginia, Georgia, and
other states, which should remove
them from the ORDINARY
class.

Reduces Squad
Cage Candidates Cut To Fifteen;
Gridders Expected To Report
Next Week
Coach A. W.. Norman is rapidly
whipping the varsity basketball teams
into shape for the first game. Rounding
out the third week of practise, he
cut the squad to fifteen meii in anticipation
of the turn out * of football
players who are expected to report

Shinn.
Coach Norman is trying to. arrange
practise games for the Bird basketeers
during the Christmas holidays to put
them in top form for their opening
game. He expressed his belief that
the Birds will have a successful season
due to the influx of much new
promising material from last year s

U. 8. O.
Observer Wars
On "Dad" Amis
A new angle on the Furman-Clem"son
scoreless tie played recently in
Greenville is offered by the Greenville
Observer in an article which backs
Dizzy McLeod to succeed Dad Amis
as head coach at Furman.
"The story that is going the rounds
as the alibi," says the Observer, "is
that the Furman team could have won
had it wanted to do so but did not
want to win as it believed that a victory
over Clemson in the Turkey Day
classic would have meant a new contract
for "Dad" Amis as coach at Furman
and the boys arc alleged not to
want a continuance of his reign. . . .
"There is feeling in the air that there
will be a new.coach at Furman. Who
will he be? If a prophet were not
without honor save in his own country,
the general guess would be that
"Dizzy" McLeod would be the successor
of Amis. He is the best basketball
Coach in the state. He is the best
freshman coach in the state. . . .
He knows all the players that will be
used next year and they know and
trust him. The sophomore recruits of
next, year's varsity will be the men
