To Subdue Invading
Seceders
Chalking up tallies in every period
of the game, the Carolina Gamecocks
won their initial skirmish of the 1936
football season by defeating Erskine
38-0 in the local stadium Saturday
afternoon.
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

took the ball on the 51 yard line and
ran for another marker. 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. Jack 'Lyon, Lit
