Dr. Reed Smit
Through Only
Undertook Position
Without Salary
By Deward Brittain
Hearken to those long gone
days when mama wore a bus
tie, sister a hoop skirt, and
gridiron heroes played for the
glory of alma mater. Sach
were the times when Dr. Reed
Smith coached the University
of South Carolina Gamecocks
through their only undefeated
season.
It all happened in 1907. South
Carolina had been without a foot
ball team for four years, ever since
the big Clemson fracas when the
board of trustees placed a taboo on
inter-collegiate football for Carolina.
A track meet or a debate furnished
the campus excitement then.
Immediately after school opened in
the fall of 1907, Robert Gonzales,
Heyward Gibbes, and Alva Lump
kin circulated a petition asking the
board to restore football to the Uni
versity. At the instigation of this
earnest supplication, the board of
trustees met in special session early
in October.
It was a dismal autumn afternoon
that the entire student body gathered
outside the library to await the de
cision. The board deliberated the
issue the entire afternoon. But as
dusk descended upon the campus,
President Sloan stepped wearily
from the council room and announced
the request had been granted. Once
again the Carolina Gamecocks c-tuld
crow for alma mater on the grid
iron! The chapel hell was rung
all night after the board had ren
dered their verdict.
But the situation was still bad.
The trustees did not make any fi
nancial allocation for the team. To
men like Robert Gonzales and Alva
Lumpkin this was a minor issue.
Knowing that Dr. Reed Smith had
just returned from Alabama Presby
terian College where he had assisted
with the coaching, the players of
fered him the mentor's job with no
compensation. The amiable profes
sor accepted; if the boys could play
for the love of the sport then he
could too.

Dr. Reed Smith
that memorable year, Doctor Smith
began whipping his team into shape.
Equipment was scarce but the team
sufficed on what they had. Work
ing the boys hard and giving them
practice in the forward pass, which
had only been introduced the previ
ous year, Coach Smith built up one
of the best squads in Carolina's grid
iron history.
Three games were scheduled. The
initial contest with the College of
Charleston ended 14-4 in Carolina's
favor. In these times when gridiron
heroes wore handlebar mustaches
scores were counted differently from
the present system. The touchdown
counted five points while a field goal
was good for four. It was against
this first foe that the first edition of
the Gamecocks made their only touch
down of the season; all other scores
were field goals booted between the
uprights by the educated toe of I ley
ward Gibbes.
The Medical College of Georgia
was turned back in the second con
flict. A single field goal by the pop

ular Gibbes accounted for the win
ning margin, 4-0.
An old opponent, the Citadel, was
trounced in the last game of the sea
son. The Citadel couldn't find a de
fense for Carolina's forward pass and
Heyward Gibbes kicked three times
from the 30 yard line to give the
Birds a 12-0 victory over the Cadets
from the City by the Sea.
An old timer who recalls these
early football days with fond mem
ories says that Carolina's first grid
iron campaign was compared to Sher
man's famous march to the sea. The
Gamecocks showed opponents no
mercy. thinking only of alria mater
who for three years had been barred
from the gridiron wars.
After this initial season Doctor
Smith found that coaching required
too much time off from his ever in
creasing faculty duties and reluc
tantly turned the job over to- Doug
las McKay the next year. This truly
was a great season when the coach
as well as his team played because
they loved the game.
Many of the boys who carried
Carolina's honors that year are now
renowned in their respective fields.
Robert Gonzales, the stonewall cen
ter, founded The Gamecock the next
year, 1908. Later lie became nation
ally known for his "paragraphs" in
The State, of which he was editor.
Heyward Gibbes, the fleet-foot run
ner who kicked when Carolina put
the ball on the opponent's forty, is
now a well known physician in Co
lumbia.
ihe Honorable Alva M. Lumpkin,
now serving on the Federal bench.
was the hard working manager of the
squad. lie often helped pay for
equipmiint. "Buck" Perrin, who is
now practicing law in Spartanburg,
was the captain of the team.
Other men who wore the Garnet
and Black through Coach Smith's
regime were: V. A. Parrott, Ran
dolph Murdaugh, Irvine Belser, Jack
Reeves, Theodore Croft, Chalmers
Wessinger, G. C. Cartwright. Clint
Graydon, R. Cooper, Jim Crouch,
