Coach Ted Pe toskey put his charges through a stiff dummy and signal drill with special emphasis on blocking and tackling. The hard-hitting forward wall of the "Iron Men" will be intact for the Fur man skirmish with the exception of 'im Bozard, 185 lb. center, who has alternated at this key position with Bill Mitchell. The eight other line men, against whom the combined might of Clemson and Citadel scored only six first downs, two by rushing, will he in top physical condition for the Furman invasion. In this final contest of their freshman year, the Biddies will attempt to repeat the one sided trouncing handed a great Fur man outfit last year by the 1936 Caro lina frosh. In addition to a record of four vic tories in which the Biddies have been untied and unscored upon, the Caro hna freshmen have chalked up a total of 102 points against highly advertised opposition. Against a fighting Citadel team, the Gamecocks gained over 500 yards in runs and passes while their great line held the Bullpups to a net loss from scrimmage. Two blocked kicks, both by Joe Patrone, diminutive Carolina guard, are also included in enviable record of the Birds. Furman will bring a fast, well coached squad to meet the Biddies in the Friday night battle under the lights of Melton Field and a Carolina vic tory will stamp the fighting Game cocks as the state champions. A large attendance is expected to watch the freshmen perform. The Carolina "Iron Men" will pre sent Ed Brown at left end, Alex Urban, left tackle, Ollie Jones, left guard, Bill Mitchell, center, Leo Kroto, right guard, Joe Hatkovitch, right tackle, Stanley Nowak, right end, Bill Mc Callistcr, quarterback, Lucius Henson, right halfback, Al Grygo, left half back, and Dewitt Arrowsmith, full back. --U. B. 0. GAMECOCKS BOW TO WILDCATS 27-7 Too much Bob Davis and too much Kentucky was the combination that de feated the fighting University of South Carolina Gamecocks, 27 to 7, in Lex ington last week. Three times in the second period the Gamecocks drove down to the shadow of the Kentucky goal posts and each time failed to make the scoring play. The lone Carolina score came late in the last quarter as the climax of a 65 yard march. Captain Jack Lyon took the ball the last five yards over right tackle for the score. Tommy Lonchar kicked the goal. Outstanding for the winning Wild cats was Bob Davis, who made beau tiful runs of 63, 49, 45, 21, 17, and 15 yards. The Wildcats seemed to be on the rebound after their crushing de feat the week before by Alabama. Lyon was the big ground gainer for Carolina with 71 yards from the line of scrimmage. Stroud picked up 33, Lon char 29, and Robinson 19. Simpson received passes for gains of 16 and 15 yards.

The Purple Paladians will enter the game on even terms with the Game cocks despite their loss to the Citadel and Davidson. Carolina's poor show ing against Clemson and their loss to Kentucky caused their stock to drop. Furman, 1936 champions, will meet the Clemson Tigers on November 25th, they being the lone team standing be tween the Tigers and the state title. The Hurricane, however, seems to have the commanding wand over Clemson that Clemson has over Carolina and that Carolina has over the Citadel. The Hurricane-Gamecock fray will be Columbia College day in the cap ital city. The sister institution will be invited en masse to the game. They will sit on the opposite side of the field from the Garnet and Black root ers and send back the cheers. The Gamecock's loss to the Wild cats of Kentucky was much closer than the score indicates as both elevens made 13 irst downs. The Gamecocks' passing attack failed to click, and four forward passes were dropped in the end zones. Reports from the Kentucky game had Vincent Kelly, last season's regu lar guard, playing but the flashes were erroneous as the guard's knee injury has put him on the sidelines for the season, the injury being sustained in the opening day's practice. Van Edwards, Johnston junior, who previously has seen most of his ser vice while at the University of South Carolina from the bench, will lead the Gamecocks at the quarterback posi tion. in the bowl " treatment-real honey in the bowl a "well-broken.in" taste immedi regnates the briarwood thoroughly i ts wonderful flavor is preserved ;pecal attachment gives (1) auto ' (2) double action condensor.
