Me And
Clemson
Every year about State Fair time my dislike for Clemson
grows strong. It's hard to explain but maybe this fable will
clear matters.
The time is Thursday, the day the classic is to be played. a
Jess Neely and Rex Enright call all their boys into the mid- c
die of University stadium and lines them up facing each other. t
Jess makes the first move to explain. "Boys," he drawls in P
his Clemson hill-billy accents, "Rex and I have decided to
abandon football. We-" t
A gasp rises over the crowd but before it can become noise a
Rex Enright steps forward. Raising his hand he speaks. "Yes. (
Neely and I have decided to substitute soccer for football and
allow everybody to play." .
Neely carries on from there. "The rules are simple. Every- L
body kicks the ball and if the ball is not available kick your t
opponent's."
From the rear ranks a falsetto pipes, "To hell with the ball. '
Let's start the game!" r
I feel that way about Clemson!
Speaking
Seriously
Seriously, that game tomorrow should give all of us football a
fans something to see and something to talk about. In 'spite 1i
of Carolina's tendency to lose to Clemson, you must admit the b
Gamecocks have the team which is capable of breaking the f
Tiger's winning streak. Two defeats this season both of them
to strong teams and both by one point mar the record. We
don't have a steady bunch but they are dangerous. Any min- ,
ute they may pull something like that first play in the David- v
son game at Sumter. Or, like those three touchdowns against a
Wake Forest. Unpredictible, sudden, flashy-that's Carolina S
and that's what the people like to see.
And Clemson is stronger than ever!
And Not
So Seriously
Here's a story told on Villanova ! , Villanova is a Catholic P
school owning a good football team and traveling this way h
next Friday to pay our stalwarts at the Orangeburg fair. The b
only consolation-the game is on Friday! Anyway, on with the s
story.
In her opening game, Villanova was slamming into the op
position, a smaller eleven, with unusual vigor. The linesmen,
confident in their size, were pulling all sorts of things unseen f
by the referec. Finally during a time out, a tackle on kiie t
smaller team limped up to the referee.
"Mr. Referee," he said, "I want to make a protest. One a
of those Villanova men seems to have a private grudge against f
me. Every time we get in a scrimmage together he bites me.I t
The tackle wiped the sweat from his face, continued in a I
troubled voice, "Yes, sir, he just hauls off and bites me. I
don't want to start any rough house, but I'm tired of that big ,
Irishman biting on me. What do you think I better do?" I
"Brother," the referee said in a bored voice, "I suggest that I
you play him only on Frillays!"
We play Villanova on Friday !

polished and powerful competition

According to scientific analysis,
Grygo has "psycho-cermatic per:
ception", a tongue twisting fact of
which he is probably unaware, but
which enables this 170 pound half
back to pick his holes, perceive his
tacklers before he encounters them.
He is a determined hard-working
back who utilizes an amazing leg
drive together with his side-step
ping ability.
While Cirolina fans who sawv him
in action are voluably loyal, Game
cock coaches seek answers to:
"Can Grygo continue his high
scoring tactics? Can he continue to
rip off his long- sensational gains?
Or will the experienced determined
linemen and backs of Clemson solve
the riddle of his 'rubber legs' and
relegate him to the class of 'just
another ball carrier'?"

Can Not Play
The gloomy Rex Enright, new
outh Carolina grid mentor, had
miore causes for worry, three in
umber, when his leading guards
urned up with injuries which may
:eep them from. the State Fair bat
le with Clemson tomorrow.
Early in the season, Joe "the
4ad" Hatkevich incurred a broken
lood vessel in his right leg while
eeing action against the Xavier
4usketeers in Cincinnati.
All ran smooth in that position
intil the Sumter County Fair game
with Davidson last Friday when
Vally Craig and Joe Patrone, first
tring guards, emerged from the en
ounter with. bad legs.
Wally Craig had been displaying
,reat form -before -the injury laid
im low, having fought his way up
o a first string berth and distin
,uishing himself in the, Georgia
,ame.
In the training season, Joe Pa
rone, chunky sophomore, was on
he third team, but as the season
rogressed, Joe's play attracted men.
or Enright to the extent that he
vas delegated one of the guard
>osts on the first team.
Among the others ready to step
nto the guard breach' are Big Dur
iam, husky senior from Greenville,
Cirt Norton, Easley sophomore, and
eo Kroto, also a sophomore.
Croto played three hundred minutes
>f football in the five freshman con
licts in 1937.
Most salient of Enright's prob
ems this fall has been the develop
nent of guards to lead the inter
erence for his speedy backfield.
From McCallister Enright inherited
guards who were adept in the War
ier single wilIgback style of play,
)ut of little use in the Rockhe sys
em, which requires the guards to
)e as fleet-footed as the backs, for
hey pull out of the line to lead the
)all carriers.

Both Carolina and Clemson sen
ter the classic with good season's
records. Clemson has won two
games, lost one and tied one.
The Bengals opened with Presby
terian and trounced that strong
little eleven, 26 to 0. The follow
ing week the Tigers *sprung one
of the biggest upsets of the foot
ball year. Tulane's Green Wave j
did its best but came out the loser
to Clemson, 14 to 10. In the next
game, Clemson met Tennessee,
the team that just this week hand
ed Alabama her first defeat in
three regular seasons, and went
down fighting, 20 to 7. In the last
game the Tigers were held to a
tie by strong V. M. I. Coach Jess
Neely had no game scheduled for
the week before the Carolina
game, while Carolina had to take
on Davidson.
Carolina's record foK the first
part of the season is Jhst as im
pressive with two one-point losses
marring the sheet. The Game
cocks opened with Erskine, tak
ing them by the score of 53 to 0.
Up to Cincinnati they went for a
game with Xavier. nosing her nut,
6 to 0. Back to Columbia the
Birds came to drop a heartbreaker
to Georgia, 7 to 6. The follow
ing week Carolina again lost in one
of the most thrilling games of the
year to Wake Forest, 20 to 19.
Davidson fell easily, 25 to 0.
Jess Neely will probably start
the same team that he has in his
last three games. The backfield
will be composed of Don Willis at
ftflback, Banks McFadden at one
halfback, Shad Bryant at the other, :
and #zither Ben Pearson or Bob '
Bailey at quarterback. In the line
will be Carl Black and Gus Goins :
at ends, Curtis Pennington and
Huer Miller. at tackles, R~alph
Simmons and Toni Moorer at
guards, and Captain Charlie
Woods at center.
Rex Enright's starting line-up
s more doubtful. Al Grygo and
DeWitt Arrowsmith seem to be
fixtures at the halfback posts, Lu
cius Henson will probably start
at quarter and brother J. B. Hen
son at fullback. Ends will be
Stan Nowak and co-captain Larry
Craig. Co-captain Pop Howell
and Jack Dorflinger will probably
get the call at the tackles. Big
Durham and Joe Patrone at
guards and John Burns at center
c.omplete the line.
