Dick Little For All-America
Press agents throughout the football realm are collecting their six
dollar adjectives, and taking snapshots of their gridiron favorites in
candid poses such as: writing a letter to mother; kissing the local
choice for the screen role of Scarlett O'Hara; accepting the keys to
the city from the local bigshot politician; autographing a pigskin
for the tot in the hospital whose life depends on a victory.
Candidates for the 1937 All-America Football team are in order.
Last Saturday between the raindrops that fell on Denny Stadium
when the McCallistermen went beneath the Crimson Tide for the
third time they floated to the surface with a 20 to 0 defeat. But
they salvaged a candidate for the All-America football team.
More than little mention in this column has been given to the ex
ploits of Dick Little, the Gamecocks' yardage kleptomaniac, whose
nomination was placed by Coach Don McCallister. The master of the
Carolina brain trust this week has been putting Dexter Fellows to
shame with his heraldry of South Carolina's candidate for the Val
halla of every football player from the dodger-infested shores of
Brooklyn to the celluloid bound coast of California.
But Don McCallister is no press agent. So you can believe him.
And this is the first time in his three years at the Gamcock helm
that he has become so enthused about one of his players to sound
the cry of "All-America." So this columnist is going to climb aboard
the garnet and black bandwagon of McCallister and Company and
shout via, my typewriter in every city room throughout this foot
hall-excited universe: "Hold the front page (persoially, we'll set
tle for the sports section) we've got the greatest halfback that ever
tore up the clod of a Dixie stadium."

Of A Defeat, A Bell, And A Seer
T.feat-like the poi.-tmai-hiis rung twice this season against
South Carolina. "And Nevermore" is the cry of the Gamecock sup
porters, who remember that the McCallistermen bowed before two of
the strongest football machines in the nation, two of the South's
leading candidates for the Rose Bowl classie. The Crimson Tide hns
gone so often that the coaching staff probably doesn't bother even
to watch the scenery on the trip across the continent.
Denny Stadium last Saturday was more suitable for making mud
pies than playing football. But the Gamecocks, in the opinion of
the press, acquitted itself by furnishing the Alabama mud turtles
their first real opposition of the season.
Student rooters are expecting the chapel bells to toll the sound
of Victory after the Davidson skirmish this Saturday. And the
more imaginative are looking ahead to Thursday, and waiting for
a sound that has been mute on State Fair Day for the past three
Autumns.
Dexter Fellows could probably dig up one of the Indian Fakirs
to peep into a magic crystal and tell what tomorrow and tomorrow's
headlines will be.
But this columnist will remain a pessimist-or at least not become
a loud optimist-and expect the worse, but wish for the best.
For there is many a forward pass and fumble ball between today
and December third.
Notes After The Deadline
From Coach Dutch Stamman comes the interesting item: Spec
tators and Scouts are not allowed to take photographs of the Army
football games; but there is no regulation against taking snapshotb
of the Fort and military p)arades...-Zipp Newman, Birmingharr
News sports editor, stated after the Alabama-Carolina game thai
Dick Little was the best back to appear against Alabama in years. ..
And he included, by strange coincidence, Gene McEver of Tennessee
who is now coaching the Davidson team which comes here tomor
row to stop Little and Company... Off the sports record: With suci
columns as "Italics" and "Speculum Vitae" appearing in as paper
anyone who can just read plain English doesn't stand r hance...
"That's my boy" will be the cry of the fathers, whos .mns will be
performing for Carolina against Davidson in the "Isc'ents' Day'
battle.

Biddies Go
To Augusta
feet Georgia Frosh
After a week of heavy scrimmage
rainst the varsity, the Carolina fresh
an football team leaves tomorrow for
ugusta to meet the University of
eorgia frosh in the Biddies second
time of the season.
Coach Ted Petoskey of the Caro
ia team seemed confident that his
targes would give a good account of
emselves. Asked to comment on
e team's chances with the Georgians,
said, "We have a good chance with
ly team."
In their first game of the season, the
iddies defeated the Presbyterian col
ge freshmen by a large margin. The
iddies showed a strong line, a hard
inning, hard-driving backfield, and a
nail supply of reserves.
In Augusta the game is being billed
the climax of "Spec Towns Day",
i honor of their internationally known
urdler and Olympic star.
The Georgia end of the gate will be
sed to establish a Spec Towns me
tonal scholarship at the University of
eorgia. A complete sell-out is ex
ected.
With Al Grygo and DeWitt Arrow
rnith leading the way, the Carolina
oys are expected to make it tough
)r the Bullpups. This game is to be
ie acid test for the Carolina frosh.
Carolina's probable starting line-up:
rown, LE; Urban, LT; Jones, LG;
fitchell, C; Kroto, RG; Hatkevitch,
T; Novak, RE; McCallister, QB;
lenson, RH; Grygo, LH; Arrow

Lead Mates
On Saturday
"A" Team To Start
From North Carolina comes Coach
Gene McEver's Davidson Wildcats to
renew, tomorrow, a forty year rivalry
with the University of South Carolina
in the Parents' Day classic at Carolina
stadium.
Led by Teeny Lafferty, whom many
coaches call one of the greatest backs
playing the game today, Davidson will
be pointing for her first win of the
season. Last week V. M. I. took a
close 7 to 0 decision over Davidson.
The Wildcats were handicapped in the
game by the absence of five regulars,
Lafferty, guards Heywood Hill and
Bill Johnston, center Frank Purdy,
and back Bob McClellan. All how
ever, will play tomorrow.
Coach Don McCallister of the Uni
versity of South Carolina predicts a
"close game all the way." And with
the Gamecocks' bevy of flashy backs
clicking, the Wildcats will have to be
more than wild to stay in the game.
Newly discovered Gamecock Dick
Little and his classmate Rock Stroud
spent the early part of the week in
light practice while recovering from
slight injuries suffered in the Alabama
game. Both are ready for tomorrow.
Tuesday's scrimmage showed a team
decidedly improved, despite Coach Mc
Callister's dire talk. Against the fresh
man team, a tough bunch for any
eleven to take on, the varsity showed
much strength in running up a 33 to
0 score.
Coach McCallister will start his uc
ual A team, alternating with the B.
