The purple?jerseyed warriors of
Furman University outsmarted and
outplayed the University of South
Carolina Gamecocks on Manley Field
before a home-coming crowd of 8,000
persons Saturday to take a long stride
toward the state football championship
with a 14-to-0 triumph over the
I Gamecocks.
The Baptists, coached this year for
the first time by Paul ("Dizzy") McLeod,
promoted from freshman mentor
of last year, sent over a touchdown
early in the second quarter and
then again in the fourth, passes paving
the way for both.
A short while after the second
period opened, Grayson Wolf punted
over the Furman goal line, but the
ball was brought back and awarded to
Furman on the Carolina 52, because
of unnecessary roughness on the part
of the Birds.
Taking advantage of this break and
seeing in it the possibility of a score,
Coach McLeod sent in Lyles Alley,
136-pound speedster from Spartanburg,
who was destined to provide one
of the most thrilling features of the
game in the few brief moments he
was in there.
Bob Smith, dependable Furman fullback,
rifled a pass over Carolina's
right halfback to Bill Hutt which
netted a gain of 35 yards and carried
the ball to the Carolina 14 yard mark.
With the ball off to the left side of
the field, "Spec" Adair, signal-calling
end, on the next play sent the diminutive
Alley flying around right-end behind
a veritable army of interference
and the Purple flyer, after twisting out
of the arms of several tacklers, sped
down the sidelines for the game's
initial score.
The second touchdown came in the
final quarter after several Carolina
threats. Trying a pass from his own
23 yard line in an effort to overtake
the Baptist, Wolf fired short with one
of his passes and it fell into the waiting
hands of Bob Griffin.
Bob Smith, who punts, passes,
bucks a line and tackles with equal
proficiency, shot a pass to Dan Wood,
who took it in on the 7 yard line and
raced across the goal.
Both extra points were added by
"Spec" Adair. On the first he picked
up a bad pass from center and circled
left end for the point and on the last
he place-kicked perfectly.
Joe Shinn and Karl Clary played
excellent games for the Gamecocks,
as did hortson, Morehead, Meers,
Johnson, and the two ends, Willard
and Craig. Little fault was to be
found with the Gamecock forwards,
but their weak pass defense, which
has been traditional since the opening
game with Sewanee, paved the way
for both touchdowns and robbed the
Birds of their second consecutive
state title which before the season
opened had been practically conceded
to them.
Most spectacular in the performance
of Carolina was the kick-off returns
of Earl Clary. There were four kickoffs
during the game with Furman
on the booting end every time and
Clary received them all. He ran back
the opening kick 43 yards and the
others for 35, 10 and 28 yards for a
total of 125.

Stop Auburn
Their record blemished by four defeats,
the Gamecocks' only hope to
make good, seems to be a victory
over Auburn's undefeated Plainsmen,
who meet only Georgia before they
tackle the South Carolina eleven here
December 3. A Gamecock win seems
at the present moment almost impossible,
but football being football, all
we can do is sit tight and pull for
the Lavaliers to redeem themselves.
Should Auburn whip Georgia and
South Carolina, as they arc scheduled
by every expert to do, they will be
undisputed claimants of the Southern
Conference crown, and possible nominees
for the Rose Bowl game New
Year's day in California, although
Brown, Cornell, Pitt, and Colgate in
the East are still undefeated.
All-State Team Possibilities
South (Carolina seems to be the
only state school that might place
a man on the All-Southern Mythical
eleven to be chosen at the end
of the season, and will doubtless
land a number of positions on the
Mythical All-State team. In spite
of their setback by Furman, the
Birds will have more All-State
men, because of their individuality.
It has been lack of teamwork
alone that has held the team back
in its season, and individual stars
are numerous and deserving. Earl
Clary is practically assured of one
half-back post, since he is the
Carolina man most likely to make
the All-Southern.
Wolf or Jennings of the Citadel
will get the quarterback post, with
Wolf favored, because of his showing
against stronger teams. McDougall
is the only other backfield
possibility.
Joe Shinn stands a strong chance
at center, and the whole Varsity
line cannot be overlooked. Willard
and Craig are rated among f
the strongest ends in this section
of the South. Captain Freeman
looks like a sure repeater at guard,
Morehead, McManus, and Fortson
must be considered by every
selector. The Gamecock will announce
its selections for AllSouthern
and All-State in the issue
of December 9.
Former Cadet
Dies In Crash
Lt. Oglesby, former Citadel guard,
was killed during the Army air corps
maneuvers at Kelly Field in Texas
last week.
Oglesby, who graduated from the
Citadel last year was one of the best
football players who ever attended the
Charleston Military school. Many
Carolina and Citadel fans will remember
him from the Citadel game at
the Orangeburg fair last year when he
played an excellent defensive game.
Oglesby was from Columbia, and
left for Texas after his graduation,
upon receiving an appointment to the
Army air service.

Biddie
Giving one of the best exhibitions of
blocking seen on Melton Field this
year the Carolina Biddies defeated the
Furman Freshmen 44 to f> last Friday
afternoon. Practically all the
scoring came on intercepted passes or
long runs.
Reddy Mitchell, with three touchdowns
to his credit, took high scoring
honors. First lie scored on a 10-yard
romp around end, then on a 52-yard
run after intercepting a pass, and, finally,
on a pass from Floyd Evans
good for 44 yards.
Scott, star Furman back, scored the
only touchdowns for Furman by intercepting
a pass and outdistancing
the passer in a mad fchase down the
sidelines and across the goal line.
Other Carolina touchdowns were
made by Clary, Evans, McNair, and
Lyles. Clary ran back a punt 45 yards
across the goal line for probably the
prettiest run of the game. Evans
plunged one yard for a tally, completing
a 17-yard march by the Biddies.
Lyles circled left end for 31 yards and
a score. McNair carried the ball over
from the 1-yard line, where Swygert
had placed it after an intercepted pass
and a 79-yard run. Evans dropkicked
the two extra points.
Practically the whole Biddie squad
saw action in the game. Nevertheless,
I* urnian was held to only one first
down in the entire game.

Their work consisted of Indian

to instruct any men who are interested
in this phase of athletic work, if they
will report to the gym at 4 o'clock
on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
These men will also give an exhibition

Frosh Battle
Florida Final
Coach Norman's freshman football
squad will leave for Gainesville, Florida
next week where they will meet
the University of Florida first year
men on Thanksgiving Day.
The freshmen have won two and
lost one so far this season. Last
week they smothered Fur man under
a barrage of touchdowns and won
44 to 6, and the week before beat the
Bullpups from the Citadel 18 to 0.
In the first game of the year the
Biddies held a heavier and highly
touted Clemson team to a C to 0 score.
Much credit should be given to Coach
"Rock" Norman for molding such a
smoothly working team from so little
experienced material.

ThcoCamecocks will meet The Citadel
in Columbia for the first time in
several years when they clash on Mel- "f|
ton Field this Saturday afternoon at
2:30.
Coach Laval has been running a
new backfield in scrimmages this
week, and has indicated that he will
also start these men in the Citadel
game. The new backfield consists of
Mauney, quarter, Evans and Hamilton
at the halves, and Pot Brown at
full. These men have played in sev- -M
eral games this,year, but have never M
started any, at any rate, they have
shown plenty of pep and speed in this
week's practice.
Perhaps this new combination will
show more of a scoring punch than
the backfield that has been starting ' ;}
the games, in any event, they are
bound to score more points, as the ^
Birds have been held scoreless in
their last three games. There are no
serious injuries among the Birds, $
although McDougall's knee is still stiff
and Captain Fuzz Freeman has not :>)
wholly recovered from his early sea- vJ
son injury.
Columbia football fans will have
a chance to see Larkin Jennings, the
Bulldog quarterback, who is being
| mentioned by many sports writers
for All-State honors. Jennings, as
well as Ogilvie, tackle, and Mitchell, |
center, are from Columbia, and will |
put up a good fight before their home
town crowd. Many Columbia fans
arc looking forward to seeing these *|
men in action as they played for Co- '1
lumhia high school, several years back.
