t!II SIIIE ,I, B. :re Zuckerma, Emory and Henry A Such of Bush Leaguers . Seerhs to this correspolerW that lust Saturday's contest witi Billy Laval's Wasps cannot 'e called an indication of the powe of the 197 edition' 4 the Gamecock eleven. While the speed; sophomdre backs, ttle, Robinson, and Stroud, broke loose 01 several occasior tb onjure memories of Knute Rockne's Fou Horseman; it wls aertainly Obvtous that Don's boys were playinj around with a bUnch of iriferiority complexed minor leaguers wh were just trying their best to ICeep the finial score from taking 01 grotesque dimensions. You knew the Wasps were defeated wher early in the first quarter, they floundered and began an aerial at tack from their own $ yard line. A bewildered Carolina pass de fense allowed Billy Laval a moment ofg sunshine before the rail and the deluge of two legged deers from Don McCallister's reser vation. * * a ' Swift is the Word for the Gamecock Up in the press box the consensus of opinion was that Carolin gained from last season's frosh eleven what was definitely miss ing from the 1936 varsity squad: A battery of fleet backfield me1 who could at any moment of the contest break away for a lon, rdn and possible victory. Before it was the practice of our back field to trip two and four yards to nowhere all alternoon. Darling ton's Rock Stroud pounded his piston legs off tackle, and befor a crowd of Wasps could drag him down he was usually abou twenty yards past the line of scrimmage. McCallister's next ac featured Gene Robinson in an imitation of Paavo Nurmni ruhnin in gridiron togs, carrying a football under his arm, and being e: corted across the goal line by bevy of puffing Virginians. Th University band forgot to play oriental diddies when snake hippe Dick Little performed on the striped gridiron and ended with grand finale in the end zone. Rumor has it that the 'Carolin board of strategy made these acts short and sweet because no ad ding machine was available at the stadium. * * * Someone the Cheer Leaders Forgot All About In addition to the usual repertoire of yells rendered by the Carc lina cheering squad, cheers were offered for the Durham Twin who celebrated their birthday on Saturday last, and for Johnn Campbell who returned from the Gotham and the Big Apple t lead the "hysterical crew". But they forgot the man who needed and deserved the mos cheering. Seated somewhere on the long Gamecock bench wearin a Varsity sweater was Pinhead Henson, whose thoughts probabl; turned back the clock some twelve months to a time when he wa dodging enemy tacklers to bring victory to U. S. C. Henson is no able to play This year; on last July fourth Henson was irl an auti accident that almost erased his short life. He escaped with a brokei back. But everyone forgot to remember the ill-fated Henson. I may be because he didn't do the Big Apple. Notes After the Deadline.

Nine thoUSanid spec tators saw D Laval's team start the scoring with a beautiful aerial drsplay only to tire and to be beaten by the heavy re served and growing power of the Gamecocks. Don McAllister's boys gained the lead before the half end ed and clicked from then on. The slow start was completely nullified t by the Gamecock's B team who ) pushed the Wasps around easily in 1 the closing minutes of the contest. It was sophomore day in the backfield. Five of the seven touch t downs were scored by sophomores. Rock Stroud and Gene Robinson crossed the Emory and Henry goal line two times apiece while Dick Little, Ed Stillwell, and Captain Jack Lyon went across once each. Gene Robinson, as a result of his two touchdowns and an extra poir1t he drop-kicked, Is second high scor er in the state. The figures from all thde week-end football games show that he is led only by Lyle Edwards of Erskine who made three touch downs in the Erskine-South Georgia fTeachers game. The Wasps only score came mid way in the first quarter. After hold ing Carolina for dowvns on their own 9 yard line, Emory an'd Henry pass ed, caught the. Gamecocks flat footed, and picked up thirteen yards and a first down. Another pass, Barker to Mellons. took the ball to Carolina's 17. Anothe~r pass and Gabbert ran the few remaining yards across the goal line. The kick was good. Three plays later Ed Stiliwell caught a pass which traveled 22 yards and ran 40 more for the score, ,the whole play going for 62 yards. The quarter ended4. ,During the game the Wasps threw a total of 28 forward passes and ,twelve of them were completed. One touchdown and 224 yards gained ,was the result of this air attack. Carolina's sophomore crop flashed I to the front during the scond period. First came "Rock" Stroud who madei a nice line drive for 29 yards andi orossed the goal on his next try wvith 4 a 16 yard dash. A series of passes I and drives placed the ball on Caro- I lina's 9 yard line with four downs 1 to take it over. Hymies went over :ackile for nine. Gabbert lost six on an attempted end sweep. A short pass regained two but on the fourth I 'alay a pass went over the end zone. 1 ICarolina took the ball on its own , ET TAIH 1ST "MA, DEER-FOOTED SWAMP AND HENRY isplay Offensive Power Wasps, Winning 45 inson, Little, Still yon Score iowns. ndO lnd went down the field in five consecutive firpt downs.
