Gibbes Gives r. To Unrv World Record Football And Histoi To School Library B Most Distingu A world record football . and an historic baseball have been presented to the University library by Dr. J. Hcyward Gibbes, class of 1908, one of Carolina's most famous alumni. The football was used in the CarolinaCitadel game on Thanksgiving, 1Q07, when Carolina won the score of 12-0. The 12 points were made by three field goals?the first time in the history of football that such a score had been piled up by drop kicks alone. All three of the kicks were made by Dr. Gibbes. In the fall of 1909, the Carlisle Indians repeated this feat and the fact was published all over the United States as a world record?but Carolina had beat them to the record by two years. Intercollegiate football had been forbidden at the South Carolina College by the board of trustees at the end of the 1905 season and in 1906 only intramural sports were allowed but not much interest was aroused by these. After schedules had been made out in 1907 football was reinstated here with Reed Smith as coach. The team that was organized was composed of menf> only a few of whom had ever seen a football before. The captain was L. W. (Buchy) Perrin, who is now a lawyer in Spartanburg and some of those on the team were: Dorsey Sligh, Irving Belser, Robert Gonzales (center), and J. Hey ward Gibbes. Mr. Perrin and Dr. Gibbes were the only experienced players on the team and Mr. Perrin was hit in the head at the first of the season so that he could not play for the rest of that fall. Somehow the manager scheduled three games: College of Charleston, University of Georgia Medical School, and Citadel. They won all three of the games with field goals, scoring only one touchdown during the season. The value of this method of scoring has been minimized now. In the early history of the game a field goal counted five points, later four, and now it has been reduced Weary, Irked Editor Bewails Loss Of Ruler "If I have furnished the means by which some student is enabled to walk the straight and narrow path then I am pleased indeed. However, if my ruler was forccably removed from The Gamecock office (I say forccably because I am positive that it wouldn't go peaceably) I hereby serve notice that I shall make it my life work to bring the kidnaper to justice," declared Frank Haskell, managing editor. The ruler in question, a dark brown, 18 inch straight-edge was removed from The Gamecock office last Wednesday night. . The office was immediately thrown into an uproar for the ruler was not just a stick of wood. "It bore honorable scars," said Haskell. "On one end was the clearly discernable thumb print of Jack Giles, former managing editor. And, about the four inch mark, there is an unmistakable print of Frank NVardlaw's teeth. That ruler has been used in making up The Gamecock for the past live years. Why," Haskell continued, "I thought more cf that ruler than many of the students here at this University. I am desolated." u. s. c.

But in the earlier par, of the 20 " century held g?aIs madc ? ^,1 a weak team to win over a stronger team by tins means alone. Hie Citadel game was one series~of almost-touchdowns for Citadel after another. Citadel would bring the ball down to Carol,na s 5 or 10 yard line and Carolina would punt it out of the danger zone. Only three times did Carolina manage to get it near the Citadel goal posts and all three times Doctor Gibbes scored field goals, the last one being from the 47 yard line. The baseball which has been presented to the University was used in the game against Clcmson in Columbia which reopened .athletic relations between the two schools after a period of four years hollowing the Carolina-Clcmson game in 1903, when Carolina won for the first time in years, a fight occurred between the two Student Bodies which caused the schools to break off relations. In the fall of 1904 Dr. Gibbes attended Clcmson College and after leaving that school entered Carolina. In 1906, his junior year, he went to I)r. Benjamin Sloan, president of Carolina with the request that athletic relations be taken up again with Clemson, telling him that during his stay at Clemson he had noticed that there was no feeling among the students about the affair of 1903. This request was granted and two baseball games were scheduled, the first at Clemson and the second at Columbia. Clemson won the game played at that college and Carolina won the game here, Dr. Gibbes being the captain of the team. The baseball now in the possession of the University was used in the second game.
