Gamect Bird Defe, Holds i 10,000 Fans See Battle Clary Outpunts Parker Blocked Punt By Frank Urban Almost Leads To Carolina Score Displaying a powerful defense, the University of South Carolina Game cocks held the highly favored Duke Blue Devils to a 21-0 score last Sat urday in the local stadium. Fine defensive work by both teams resolved the game into a punting duel, with Ed Clary, playing despite his in jured chest, outkicking his All Ameri can rival, Ace Parker. Carolina drew first blood when Frank Urban, Gamecock end, rushed hrough the Duke line and blocked a unt in the first quarter. Kelly re overed the ball for the Birds on Duke's 19 yard stripe. Two passes by Ed Clary carried the all to the one yard line. Urbanyi umbled the ball on the next play but recovered. Clary took the ball and fumbled again, and this time Duke ecovered it. After being held in check for the first quarter, Duke finally pushed across a touchdown late in the second period. Hackney intercepted a pass and carried the ball to midfield. Fail ing to make a first down, the visitors exchanged punts with Carolina, and Hackney returned Clary's kick to the Bird's 27 yard line. A drive from there took the ball across, and the point after touchdown was converted. Parker and Hackney, already men tioned as All American possibilities, found themselves bottled up by the Gamecocks. Parker broke loose only once, ring yardz for a touch down ornly to have the play called back for a penalty. A pass on the fourth down put the Blue Devils in scoring position late in the fourth quarter, and Parker ran the ball across the goal line for an other touchdown. The last score for Duke came as a result of a short punt and a 15 yard penalty to Carolina, which placed the ball on Carolina's 15 yard line. Parker contributed eleven yards, and Smith took the ball across, and added the point from placement. Van Edwards, who was expected to be kept out of the game, went in for a few minutes. Jack Lyon, whose hand is still in a plaster cast, remained on the bench all (luring the contest. Vicious tackling by Burns, Dor flinger, Kelly, Gaffney, and other line men made the Gamecock line almost impregnable to the assaults of the Duke backs. Only 12 first (towns were registeried by the Blue D)evils, andl the Birds counted for 4. Coach McCallister apparently be lieved that 13 was not an unlucky number for that is howv many substi tutes he used (luring the game.

The students will he there to be led in the yells by Joe Bird, fssie Davis, Martha Mauney, Carter Porter, and Billy Spivey, our cheer leaders. SPORT-BITS After all, a football equipment man ager must have some dignity, accord ing to Melvin Shimek, who holds that title at Marquette University. Shi mek promised a freshman assistant a kick in the pants if the latter's count on headgears was correct. The count checked, so the frosh kicked Shimek and laid him low. Now the coach is looking for a new manager. The Kansas State football squad feels cut up. Anyone attempting to start a conversation about "my opera tion" wvill find seven or eight players who are willing to dliscuss with him the funny feeling when taking ether. Several first team members have been stopped from play to be taken to the operating table. A few hours after lie had attended the funeral of his brother, Tom, who was one of the Purdue University players burned fatally in a shower room blast in September, Billy Mc Gamnon led his team, Memorial High to a 32 to nothing victory over Carmi High. Billy entered the game "be cause Tom would have wanted me to be in there." Tfhe Memorial team was outweighed 20 pounds to a man. But no team could have stopped themi last night. They were "winning for Tfommy" who had been a former cap tain there. KNOCK! KNOCK! WHO'S THERE? The R. L BRYAN CO.

A. Crawford, gym director announced Wednesday. Touch football will open the pro gram, and this will begin about Dec. 1. 'This will replace tackle football, which was played here until a few years ago when the authorities had it discontinned because of danger of injury. Tenements and fraternities will hold their track meets this semester instead of next in order to develop material for the varsity team. Intra-mural basketball games will begin early in March. Last year twelve teams entered the tournament and this year it is expected that a larg er number will compete. Boxing will get under way about the first of April. There will be fights in all weights, and awards will be presented to the winners in each weight. SP O The unexpected (by sonic) strength shown by the Gamecocks in their con iest with Duke Saturday should have provided a complete answer to the criticisms and (lire predictions given out by those Carolina fans who con sidered the VMI game too seriously. To those who have kept faith in the Carolina team, it was only a small in dication of the strength that is in the 1936 team. Surprise about the outcome of the game was not limited to those who were pulling for tie Garnet and Black. however. Coach Wallace Wade, who won his first Carolina game in Co lumbia, declared that his team played :s well or better than they did against Colgate, and that other teams hav ing Carolina on their schedules should start their worrying now. He 'paid especial tribute to the Carolina linemen, and to John Burns and Vincent Kelly, whose defensive play kept the Duke backs from making any sensational runs. As a matter of record, Ace Parker and Elmore Hackney (we dis like the name "Honey" applied to males) averaged less than three yards each time they ran with the ball, ex cluding one long run made by each of them. Alumni Urged To Get Tickets For All Home Contests May Order Six For All Home Games Except Clemson, Four Allowed All members of the Alumni Associa tion for the fiscal year 1936-37, are urged to mail their orders promptly for tickets to the remaining home foot ball games, for the rest of the 1936 season.

With the band leading, the Univer sity and Columbia College students will then have a parade before the game. This will pass the east stands and stop at the Carolina players' bench. There the girls will present the Carolina team with a huge can of "touchdown spinach" which will be carried by two of "Popeye's Pals." The visitors will sit in the east stands directly across from the Caro lina students and will cheer for the Gamecock team. They have already begun practicing on the yells for this game. Last year these girls were ac corded a similar privilege of attending one of the home games. rtso logy BY MROLD PRINCE Despite the fact that their running activities were confined to short gains, Parker and Hackney still remain two of the best backs this writer has ever seen. Parker, a triple threat man who excels in all three fields, will undoubt edly get some mention for the myth ical All American team. Hackney's main otrength is his ability to run with the ball, but he should likewise not pass by unnoticed. What might have happened if Caro lina had not had the misfortune to fumble on Duke's goal line is only conjecture. Perhaps this would have discouraged the Blue Devils so much that they would have given up hope and lost the game to the Birds. On the other hand it is just as possible that this would have spurred the Duke team to such better playing that they would have made the seven or eight touchdowns that they were reputed to be able to produce at a moment's notice. It is not the purpose of this writer to dwell in the realm of the imaginary. What might have happened, we can only surmise. What did happen was that Carolina played an inspired game that gives indication of future cham pionship possib)ilities.

Gators orrow Columbia Josh Cody New Mentor Lyon Still Injured Secret Practice Against Florida Play Is Held This Week With all the team except Jack Lyon off the injured list, the Carolina Game. cocks will meet the University of Florida Gators tomorrow afternoon at 3 p. in. in the local stadium. Van Edwards and Ed Clary, who played part of the game against Duke, have completely recovered from their injuries and will be in perfect shape for the contest. Jack Lyon's hand is still giving him trouble, and he will probably not be able to get in the game at all. Last year these two teams met, and Florida emerged the winner 22-0. The Gators won a hard-fought game from Citadel last week, by overcoming a lead of 14 points in the second half and winning 20-14. Coach McCallister has been putting his squad through their usual drill blocking and tackling this week. Work on the dummy has taken most of the time of the linemen, while the backs have been running passes and practic ing forward passing. Secret practice was held oil Tues day, Wednesday, and Thursday. Dur ing this period the first string varsity worked out against Florida plays used by the third stringers. Dutch Stamman scouted the Florida Citadel game last week. The team is composed of juniors and seniors who will outweigh the Gamecocks about ten pounds to a man. Coach Josh Cody, former Clemson mentor, began coaching at Florida this year and has good material. His backfield contains two 198 pound men who run the sprints for the track team. Coach McCallister will start the following team pgainst Florida: ends, Johnson and Urban, tackles, Howell and Dorflinger or Robelot, guards, Gaffney and Kelly, center, Burns, quarterback, Dearth, halfback, Hen son and Clary, fullback, Big Durham.
