Pi G enera. Gameco Southerr Teams Evenly Matched A11 State High School Elevens Are Invited To Attend Free Of Charge Hoping to end the home season with a win over last year's Conference champs, Washington and Lee, the Carolina Game cocks have held numerous practices this week. The fine showing of the Birds against Furman last Saturday gives the game a new angle, with Carolina rated an even chance for a victory. The Generals demonstrated their power the past week when they held the strong Maryland eleven to a scoreless tie. The fine defensive play of W. and L. with their l?acks to the wall, drew favorable comments from all sides. The Gamecocks wer,- little less for tunate, although they won a moral victory over the Furman squad by holding the possible state champions to 20-7. Their defensive strength along with a last minute drive provided the outstand ing highlights for Carolina. All the high school elevens of the state have been issued invitations to attend the game as guests of the University. The offer was extended by Ralph K. Foster, director of athletics, the past season and many teams took advantage of the op portunity to see the Conference champs play. The game, originally slated for No vember 28, was moved to November 23, so as not to conflict with the state cham pionship battle in Greenville between Furman and Clemson. Six seniors for the Generals and 9 last year men for Carolina will be play ing their final and last home games of the season, respectively. The Confer ence champs will be bidding farewell to their. captain, Jack Bailey, while Bud Alexander, captain of the Birds, will be performing in his last game before the home folks. Hugh Bonino, who has been talked for All-American tackle, will be playing his last game for the W. and L. team. Earnest Stokes, probable all-state cen ter will be playing against Ed Seitz, who has had a remarkable record this season and is considered one of the out standing pivot men in the Conference. The game will begin at 2:30 Saturday afternoon at the Carolina stadium. Tick ets for the game will be $2.00, including tax except the 44 cents tickets that will be sold to school students on the day of the game. Fifteen members of the high school squad along with their coaches will be admitted to Gate 6, according to an an nouncement by Dr. Foster yesterday. The Bird eleven will be somewhat ham pered by the possible loss of Larry Craig at the cnd but he will be ably replaced by Fred Craft, senior end who has been injured most of the seawin. The game will probably be studded with trick plays, spinners, daring for ward passes. Laterals and reverses will be tried with reckless abansdLn. The two teams will be evenly matched ex cept in weight, with the Generals out weighing the somewhat lighter Birds. Wilburn Clary.will be making a last des perate stab at state honors. A brilliant game will clinch the position while a moderate game will make the choice more hesitant. Don't Like Losers Declares McCallister "We do not teach our players to be good losers; we teach them to win," declared Don McCallister, head foot ball coach in the University of South Carolina, in an address recently de livered the young people's department of the Washington Street Methodist Church. "There is a hypocrisy of being al good loser," McCallister said. "You can't build a winning team by develop ing good losers; and the coaches at the University believe in urging the players to go into every game to do ,their best to win. We know how to take defeat-three defeats -in a row but nevertheless we believe in send ing the team into every game with the grim determination to come out victorious. A Love Story As I1 Star GEORGE RJ Is ''Man ks Await SChamps Predictions I The strong Vanderbilt squad threw a monkey wrench into our predic tions the past week by rudely sub duing the Vols of Tennessee. Of course, Duke caused us to miss as we were pulling for the Tarheels to make that famous trip westward around the first of the year. Two tie games further scattered the quilting party. The healing salve was our correct predictions on the Georgia-L. S. U. game and Newberry-Wofford games. This week we are trying our skill on fifteen headliners. We gaze into the crystal ball and slowly,' then fas ter and faster, we see the current teams swing into action. We see Auburn and Georgia in one of the closest games of the year, and Caro lina playing W. and L. As the final whistle blows and we come out of the trance, we find these notations made while in the coma: Univ. of South Carolina-W. and L. The Gamecocks will end their South ern Conference battles this week by a stunning upset over the Generals. One touchdown will be the margin of victory. Army-Vermont. The cadets will trounce Vermont by three goals. Yale-Harvard. Good old Eli will come through with flying colors for a victory by two or more touchdowns. Duke-N. C. State. The Blue Dev ils will win by three touchdowns. State is strong but Duke is stronger. Wofford-P. C. The Terriers are the choice although the strength of the Blue Stockings is not being over looked. It might be an upset by P. C. but the choice is Wofford by one touchdown. Erskine-Newberry. The Seceders are the hesitant choice. If they win, it will be by one goal. The Indians of Newberry have a fine chance of copping the victory but Erskine is the guess. Maryland-Georgetown. The sons of Maryland will march on to victory. Georgetown is little known and Mary land has had a good season. The choice is Maryland with a three touch down margin. Auburn-Georgia. This is the closest game of the week. Both teams have a 50-50 chance of winning. As a ges ture of sportsmanship, we predict Auburn. Are we afraid of this one?. We will say sol One touchdown should decide the game. Louisiana-Southwestern. L. S. U. is too strong for Southwestern and will cop the battle by a two touchdown miargm . Mississippi State-Sewanee. Mis sissippi State fought L. S. U. to a 28-13 battle and defeated Army 13-7. They are the probable winners by three six-pointers. Stanford-California. Stanford is this department's choice. They may play in the Rose Bowl this year. Dartmouth-Princeton. The Prince ton Tigers will not only defeat Dart mouth by five touchdowns but will be extended an invitation to the Rose Bowl. Notre Dame-Southern California. The Ramblers will sweep over the Trojans of Southern California be fore an immense crowd that will as semble at South Bend to see two really great teams fight. Only one touchdown will decide the winner of this tilt. Ohio State-Michigan. The gridiron warriors of Ohio will be too strong for a fair Michigan team that will take the field at Ann Arbor. Two touchdowns combined with two ex tra points will subdue the Michigan squad. Minnesota-Wisconsin. The unde feated and untied Minnesota eleven cannot be stopped by the team from Wisconsin. Four touchdowns. Carolina Frosh-Citadel. The Bid dies are headed for the state cham pionship and will not be stopped by Citadel frosh, the last game on their schedule. Three touchdowns is. the word.
