Zimmerman Scores In First Two

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.

Villanova's Punch
Villanova's Wildcats, after absorbing
their one and 011I3' beating of the
season at the hands of South Carolina,
in Philadelphia, 7-6, have rolled
up a total of 153 points to 16 for
their opponents in their first five
games (South Carolina's 7 being part
of this 1G.) 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.
Louisiana State Beats
Sewanee Tigers Easily
If comparative scores mean anything,
the Carolina Gamecocks are
going to have tough going against the
L. S. U. Tigers Saturday afternoon.
While the Gamecocks were barely able
to eke out a 7 to 3 win over Sewanee

in Carolina's first game of the season,
the L. S. U. team defeated Sewanee
38 to 0 last Saturday night, showing
a world of power in plunging over five
touchdowns and pushing the Sewanee
team back over their own goal line I
for two safeties.

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

Clary took over the last score after
two S-yard penalties had placcd the ball
on the 3-yard line. One of Clary's attempts
to convert the extra pcrint was
blocked. The other two were wide.
For the Biddies the running of Clary
and the aggressive line play of Craft
were outstanding. 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.

Birds Preparing For Bengal
Power Drives; Shinn And <
Freeman To Play
The University Gamecocks will meet
another formidable foe Saturday after- ?
noon at the fair grounds stadium when
they clash with the Louisiana State Uni- ' Jlj
versity Tigers.
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.
Head Coach "Biff" Jones, late of the
Army, and Burt Ingwerson, ex-coach at $
Iowa, Will lead the squad.
