Clemsor Heavy Ti Cops_Cole From Fighting Roosters Light Carolina Squad Is Defeated By Second Largest Score In History Behind the interference of a strong and fast-charging forward wall, the Clemson Tiger's backfield aces went on a rampage Thursday afternoon at the local stadium when they defeated the fighting Game cocks 44-0. With the weather conditions reducing the crowd to 16,000 patrons, the game was played under leaden skies with a sharp northern wind whipping around the stadium but it did not dampen the spirits of those attending in the least. The large margin of victory was the second largest score in the history of the meetings of these two institutions. Only in 1900 when the Bengal Tiger defeated the Birds 51 to 0, has this score been ex ceted. The Tigers used every member of the squad in this crushing defeat and served notice they were intending to re tain the state title they won last year. The first half was a close battle and the Tiger found himself setting back on his heels before the game was two minutes old. The Clemson team then came back strong and with two safeties and one touchdown, brought the score of the first P half to 11-0. The second half 'was all I Clemson, the Birds being completely sub- 1 merged under the fast attack of the Bengalites. Led by "General" Lee, Berry, Folger, and Lawton, the Clemson runners tore up the sod from one end of the field to the other in hard-charging drives that only relented when the goal line was crossed. 1 Clemson made 18 first downs to 2 for the Birds and gained 283 more yards by the rushing attack than Carolina. Carolina completed two long passes but on both occasions were called back as the receiver of one was out of bounds and the line was off-s'ides on the other trv. The total of 15 passes were thrown by the Birds. Four were intercepted and none were completed. The strength of the Clemson forward wall can be seen by the four Carolina punts they blocked and the two safeties scored behind the Bird's goal line. When the final whistle was blown on this 39th meeting of these two schools. Clemson had scored 6 touchdowns, 2 safe ties, and 4 extra points. The stalwarts of defense for the Caro lina team were Ernest Stokes, little but loud center, "Bud" Alexander, captain and star back, and Curry Farnham, an other star player in the secondary. Chief among the many Clemson stars on defense were their two tackles, Brown and Black, and Inabinet, powerful gItard. All three of these players made the all state team last year and judging by their performance Tfhursday, bid fair to re-1 peat again this year. The battle between the tw~o cap)tains turnedl out as exp)ected wtih both men leading their teams in a tiee struggle. These two players were among the out standlig stars for their respective oultfits.

The two eams from North Carolina are natural ivals and their undefeated records in the outhern Conference will be at stake. otre Dame and Ohio State are among he rapidly dwindling members of the un efeated teams in the nation and this ame has a great bearing on the national hampionship. Despite the fact that )hio State is the favorite, we are taking long chance and are picking Notre )ame as the winier. For this week, this what we think: South Carolina-V. P. .-The Game ocks are not conceded an even chance of eating Virginia Poly but we predict that lie game will end in a dead-lock. If one eam is returned the winner, it will be by very small margin. A note to the vise: "The Gamecocks are feeling re engeful this week." Furman-Citadel.--The Cadets will give .urman a much harder game than is ex ected-of them and if the Hurricane plays oorly, there is a chance that Citadel will ipset them. This chance, however, is cry slim. Wofford-Catawba.-The Terriers will ring home the bacon in a closely fought 'attlc that will see the fighting spirit of Vofford triumph. Army-Miss. State.-The Army is too owerful for Miss. State to hope to de eat them. Rice-George Washington.-Rice is the avorite to win the title of the Southwest onference for the second consecutive e.ar, a feat that has never bCforC been ccomplislied. George Washington is not he team that will stop them-if they are topped. North Carolina-N. C. State.-This is head-liner for the Tarheel State. We nill string along with the University of orth Carolina. Tenn.-Duke.-The Bhte Devils have een defeated twice in succession but we on't believe they can he whipped three imes in as many weeks by any team. It s Tennessee's hard-luck they had to play )uke this week. Georgia-Florida.-The Bull-Dogs who nere undefeated up until last week when labama smothered them 17-7 will give lorida a thorough trouncing. Wake Forest-P.

P. I. team in an important Southern Conference tilt. The game will be held on home-coming day for the Virginiansi who will be seeking a victory which would tie the series be r tween these institutions, three and three. The Gamecocks came out of their battle with the Clemson Tiger last t week with very few injuries and it is F probable that the same starting line up that faced Clemson will be in the game against Virginia Tech. Neither team has had much success so far this season but this game will be attractive in that the comparative strength of the two teams will be prac tically even. Some experts give a slight advantage to Virginia Tech be cause of their victory over Washing ton and Lee, another conference battle. The series between the Gobblers and the Gamecocks was begun in 1925 and every game has been a shut-out victory. Carolina will be seeking their first conference victory of the season, having lost to Duke, N. C. State, Da vidson and Clemson. The only game remaining on. the schedule of confer ence foes besides V. 1'. I. is last year's conference champions, Washington and Lee. The largest score amassed by either team during their series was in 1927 when the Gobblers defeated Carolina 35 to 0. According to Coach Don McCallis ter, the team will leave Thursday night for the jaunt to Blacksburg. Coach McCallister, who scouted V. P. I. in their 19 0 win over W. and L. said: "Their line is as heavy as Clemson's and with a set of heavy backs, they depend chiefly on power to win their games." In the practice sessions held this week, Carolina has smothered all the V. P. I. plays which were tried by the Bohunks and they looked very impressive in their tackling. This is the last game until the Fur 'nan clash in Colmbia, November 10 and the Gamecocks will be given a muchly-needed rest after this confer ence game. The Gamecocks will hold a short practice ' drill in Blacksburg, Friday afternoon in order to get limbered up for the Gobblers on Saturday after noon. -U.. 0.

Winning their first victory since 1931, the Biddies presented a heavy, fast-charg ing forward wall with a set of fleet-backs vho for the first time this season showed flashes of team-work and co-ordination. Carolina's score came in the second quarter as the result of two long runs by Ed Clary, acting captain, from mid field to the Cubs 10 yard stripe from where Van Edwards, Carolina's blond ace back2field star, carried it over on a twisting, side-stepping run. The extra point was added by Ralph Dearth, efli :ient quarter-back. This score of 7-0 was the score the end of the first half. Clemson's only tally came in the third quarter when John Burns, substitute at center for Carolina, passed over his own oal line where Ed. Clary was tackled be fore he could bring the ball back out. This oompleted the scoring for the day. A strong bid for victory was made by the Cubs in the last few minutes pf the game when a series of long passes and end runs brought the ball to the Biddies' 17 yard line. After three incomplete passes, a final toss was intercepted by Ralph Dearth who returned to his own twenty yard line. A few plays later the game ended. Except for a few mix-ups in the signals and an occasional bad pass, the Carolina Frosh team showed the fans a well-co >rdinating and powerful team. The block ing by the forward wall accounted almost entirely for the gains uf the fleet back field men. The outstanding feature of the game was the excellent defensive play of Tatum, Biddy end, and Kiss, Carolina's pivot man. They were in all the plays and their tackling was hard and sure. Tatum stopped almost every play around his side of the line. Kiss, besides back ing up the line, was down under every punt and usually got the runner before ie could move out of his tracks. Woods, linesman from Savannah, was the star on defense for the Cubs, while NiMakin was the spark plug in the Clem son offense. R. C. A. VICTOR RADIO LATEST RECORDS R. E.
