o# J Birds I * * * Tulane Birds Hold Tulane 6-0 Zimmerman Scores In First Two Minutes For Only Counter Of Game A scrapping bunch of Gamecocks journeyed to New Orleans last Saturday and held the highly tutored Green Wave of Tulane to a 6 to 0 score. The Greenies piled up a tremendous amount of yardage against the Birds, but were able only to score 6 points against the strong defense of the Lavalmen. The vicious tackling of Allie McDougall, fullback, and the Bird linesmen, caused the Tulane backfield to fumble five different times, and four of these miscues were recovered by alert GameIcock men. McManus covered two of these within the ten-yard line; Willard and D. Shinn recovered the other two. The fumbles were distributed among the entire Tulane backfield, as no one man fumbled more than once. The Carolina offense failed to get started against the fast charging Tulane linemen and the total yardage gained by the Gamecocks for the afternoon was only 58 yards, but the Birds threatened seriously by recovering a fumble of Don Zimmerman, deep in his own territory, and then advanced to the 11-yard line, only to be thrown for two losses and lose the ball on downs. Wolf was instrumental in keeping the Wave from crossing the Carolina goal line, as he consistently out-punted Zimmerman and drove the Greenies back into their own territory with long, high spirals. Wolf's punts averaged 46 yards apiece for the day, while Zimmerman's averaged only 35. S. C. Tulane Willard LE , Westfcldt Johnson LT R. Tessicr Fortson LG G. Tessier Shinn, J.

Call it what you want, it goes to show the man-power that forms the Carolina defense. Tulane?No Alibi South Carolina supporters have no alibi to offer for the six-nothing licking the Birds took at the hands of the Green Wave. Carolina was completely outplayed, and they know i,t but what amazes Gamecock backers is the herculean stand the team made after Zimmerman's first-two-minute touchdown. After hearing the score in so short a time, Carolina students expected a four or five touchdown licking, but the Birds braced it and it never came. Rather dissappointing was the pass that Shack McCrady missed in the third quarter, since it would hive meant at least a tie and possibly victory, but Tulane got the break and backed by superior playing, held its slim margin and swept to victory. Still, all South Carolinians were heartened by the showing of the Lavaliers. Furman's Giddy Race A clipping from this weeks Intercollegiate Sports has this to say concerning Furman's showing under their new coach, Dizzy McLeod?"Down in South Carolina, the watchword is "Watch Furman"?and with plenty of justification. McLeod has continued where Amis left off, with the result that Army had the scare of its young life on the afternoon of October 1, and just did manage to squeeze out on top by a score of 13-0. And now that Davis-Elkins has bowed 19-0, and Mercer, 2-0, it is quite possible that even with South Carolina, Citadel and Clemson around the corner there will be no more defeats chalked up against McLeod's gamesters." "SEZ YOU." Stop Those Plainsmen Auburn, undefeated, faces only Georgia and Florida before their final game here December 3 with the Gamecocks. Georgia and Florida both appear particularly weak this season' and it is clearly up to the Birds to stop the Alabama Poly boys in their march , to a Conference crown. Bird followers will bitterly recall how Auburn won its first conference victory in four years in 1930 over Laval's warriors, by 25-0 down in Georgia. Revenge this year would be especially sweet. McDougall Tex Cox, Tulane coach, who said last week before the Carolina-Tulanc game that "He would try to run up as large a score as possible against South Carolina for his homecoming day crowd," after the game he said that Allie McDougall was the best fullback that had faced his team this year....That puts him better than the full-backs of Auburn, Vanderbilt, Texas Aggies, and Georgia.

Freshmen Den First 1 In a rather listless game of football, the Carolina freshmen defeated the Citadel first year men 18 to 0 on Melton field Saturday afternoon. The game was marred hy numerous fumbles, Carolina fumbling eight times and the Citadel three. The first Biddie touchdown came in the second quarter when Fred Craft blocked one of Ward's punts, the ball falling into the arms of Evans, who ran the 10 yards to the goal line. Immediately after this, Citadel made its greatest threat, carrying the ball to the 10line, only to lose it on downs. In the third quarter, George Blewer recovered Ferguson's dropped punt on the 17-yard line. Clary circled left end ICARC STATE C G-REE Tickets sold for all FOOTBALL S!

Craft rushed punters and blocked one for the first score. Porcher Hopkins runs with the ball very little, but his blocking and tackling was very good. Alexander and Evans both did some good running Saturday. Hair and Ferguson were outstanding for Citadel by their hard running. ?LINA vs. FU1 HAMPION FOOTBALL INVILLE, S. C.

Coach Laval has been drilling his charges against the L. S. U. plays as. M taught the Scrubs by Coach and Scout Whitey Rawl. The Tigers used nothing but power plays against Sewanee last Saturday and overwhelmed them by a score of 38 to 0. The Bird squad is'in good shape, despite their gruelling fight against Tulane last Saturday, the only injuries be- ? ing to Captain "Fuzz" Freeman, who is still troubled by a knee injury, and J Dick Shinn, who hurt his knee in practice Tuesday. Both these men are ex- ' pccted to be in shape for this week's ,<| game. This is the second time that L. S. U. wjll come to Columbia undefeated. In 1930, the Tigers came to Columbia as | the nation's leading scorers and went home on the short end of a 7-6 score. ;i' This year the Tigers are again undefeated but it is thought they will come a cropper when they hit the tight Bird defense. The L. S. U. team will arrive in Co- $ Iumbia Thursday, and will hold a practice that afternoon on a field to be selected. The roster will include four coaches, two trainers, one manager, and ^ forty-four men. Headquarters for the squad will be at the Columbia Hotel.
