A crowd of 8,000 sweltering specta tors looked on as the Birds turned back an eleven which offered a stubborn resistance in the early stages of the game. Coach Don McCallister used sub stitutes freely, and all but three mem bers of the squad, Van Edwards, Pop Howell, and Big Durham, who were injured, saw service in the game. Forty-five players were used in all. All six of Carolina's markers were made by sophomore players who are counted on heavily to carry the Gar net and Black over the top this year. They likewise accounted for tne of the two extra points which were scored. Carolina kicked off to Erskine to start the game and then recovered when the Seceder fumbled the ball. The Erskine line braced at this point and yielded only five yards in four downs. After a series of punts the Birds took the ball on the enemy's 45 yard stripe and started a drive for a touchdown. Jack Lyon slipped off left tackle for ten yards and a first down and then passed to Bob Johnson for fifteen and another. Another toss grounded, but the sec ond one fell into the arms of Pin head Henson across the goal line for the first touchdown of Carolina's sea son. The try for extra point failed. In the 'second period Carolina was given the ball on their 38 yard line. Ed Clary took the ball on the first play, sped through a big hole at right tackle, slipped his way through the whole Erskine team and raced 62 yards for a touchdown. The extra point was added making the score 13-0. The half ended a few seconds later. Another sustained drive, featured by forward passes, gave the Birds six more points soon after the beginning of the second half. Jack Lyon threw a short heave to Lit Durham who stepped ever the goat line for the touchiidown. In the same quarter Ed Clary added another laurel to his wreath by al KNOCK! KNOCK! WHO'S THERE? The R.

The try for point was again unsuccessful, and the score became 25-0. A number of penalties failed to daunt the Gamecocks and Chief Glen Myers broke through the Erskine line and blocked a kick which was recovered in the end zone by Toni Hutto. Art Urbanyi, whose short gains fea tured some of the Birds' drives, con tributed a 22 yard run in the closing moments of the game. Ralph Dearth, who had replaced Lit Durham at quarterback, took the ball on a re verse and added 28 yards. Joe Wil liams then ran through the line for the remaining 15 yards and the final score. The point was added to- bring the scoring activities tq a close. Alex Gettys, star flankman for the visitors, was a big factor in the Se ceder defense. He was in on every play and finally had to be taken out of the game because of utter exhaus tion. The entire Carolina forward wall held in the pinches and repulsed the assaults of the Erskine backs. Only five first dowvns were made by the invaders, and three of these resulted from p)enalties. Carolina earned 15 first downs while they were amassing a total of 299 yards from scrimmage to their op ponents 53. Fifty-nine yards were gained by passing.
