. The University of South Carol
of upsetting the old dope bucket
Night Riders of Duquesne Universi
finally overpowered by the Dukes a
With speedy Al Grygo, back, and
big "Jeep" Urban, end, leading the
way the Birds grabbed an early
lead only to lose it and the game
in the waning minutes of the tilt.
The Night Riders got off to an
early start, scoring in the opening
frame, however, this lead wasn't
for long when the Gamecocks via
the Grygo-Urban route scored two
touchdowns, one going for 76
yards. The sure toe of Dewitt Ar
rowsmith accounted for two more
points. The Birds lead 14-6.
The Dukes not to be outdone,
also scored in the second . period,
when Semas sprinted around end
for 16 yards and a touchdown.
Taking the kickoff on his own
six yard stripe, Grygo ace bird back,
snaked hipped his way to a 94
yard touchdown, electrifying the
crowd. Arrowsmith again ac
counted for the point after touch
(own from placement. The half
ended with Carolina leading the
highly favored Duquesne eleven
21-13.
The Dukes came back strong in
the third period, a pass from Ash
wesh to Rosiky netted them their
third tally, but the valiant Game
cocks still clung to a 21-20 lead.
Late in the fourth quarter an
other pass from Ashwesh to
Maliszewski accounted for the
winning touchdown.
The slim six point lead was al
most shattered when Roskie, re
serve Carolina back, took a Du
quesiie pass in his own end zone
and raced to the 32 before finally
being stopped by a desperate flying
tackle from the rear by Duquesne's
Bill Nopper.
Carolina tallied once in the first
quarter and twice in the second.
The Dukes using an extensive
string of reserves wore down the
small Carolina squad scoring once
in each frame.
Every Garnet and Black warrior
that saw service played a bang up
game.

Four Of Them Roll

As Two Suffer Defeat
When the news was spread
around of The Gamecock's gallant
stand against the powerful squad
of Duquesne last Friday night, the
supporters and students of Caro

trouble to look them up, here they
are.

Soph Sossamon
Follows Footsteps
Of His Family
Latest Of Long Line
Of Great Players To
Come From Gaffney
Fighting Gamecocks are nothing
to get excited about in the Sossa
mon family of Gaffney, S. C., but
Louis Sossamon, sensational sopho
more center on the Gamecock foot
ball eleven has suterseded all of
his feathery pedigreed predecessors
in the estimation of his folks. You
see. Soss's grandfather Colonel
DeCamp is a world renowned au
thority on the ancient and in most
places outlawed sport of cock fight
ing, and is editor of "Grit and
Steel," the only magazine devoted
to the sport in this hemisphere.
Being a fighting Gamecock is not
the only way that Soss lives up to
family tradition. His father, F. W.
Sossamon, is editor of the tri
weekly Gaffney Ledger, and his son
Louis is studying Journalism at the
University in an effort to step in
to his shoes.
Soss has quite a high school
record behind him. He partici
pated in the game between the star
players of N. C. and S. C. to top
his career at Gaffney. On the team
with Louis when the fellows on
this side met the fellows on the
other side of the state line were:
John Leitner and Harold Middle
brooks now also at the University.
On the opposing N. C. team were
Fred Lytle, "Biscuits" Coman, and
Robert George. Also during his
career in high school Soss made
three Block letters.
A little basketball is mixed in
with his football, but, as he puts it,
"I have to catch up with my scho
lastic work second semester."
Gaffney has proved to be a train
ing ground for Gamecock "greats."
Earl Clary, called by many the
"Gaffney Ghost," came up from
the sand hills to lead the Birds to
three victories over the Tigers from
a place called Clemson. Paul Gaff
ney was a "Bird" in his heyday at
Carolina, making all-state at guard
for three straight years. Both of
thcse guys gained honorable men
tion for All-American for two
years.
Wilburn and Ed Clary kept the
Clary clan foremost in the minds of
Carolina football followers. Wil
burn with his nack of running a
sleeper play without interference
and getting away With it, and Ed
was one of the greatest, if not the
greatest punter ever turned out of
the Gamecock camp. These are
but a few of the many fine football
aces Gaffney has sent up to Caro
lina, and Sossamon is the latest but
not by far the least.

Block C Club
Plans Excursion
To Miami Game
Large Crowd Expected To
Accompany Carolina Band
To Florida; Expenses Low
The Topic of discussion at
Wednesday night's meeting of the
Block "C" was the excursion to
Miami, Florida, for the football
game there, between the University
of South Carolina and Miami Uni
versity.
So far 200 names have been sub
mitted on various petitions around
the campus. This factor has a lot
to do with the probability of the
excursion. If enough names hadn't
been signed, the matter would have
been dropped.
The Block "C" will sponsor a
Canteen on the Excursion train.
This canteen will be run by stu
dents appointed by the Block "C."
The approximate cost of the
complete trip will be around ten
dollars. Kit Fitzsimmons is chair
man of the excursion. Acting on
the committee are Lucius Henson,
Junie Hymson, Sol Blatt, and Pres
ton Westmoreland.
The campus will be canvassed
for students wishing to go starting
at various tenements in the next
few days. Columbia College stu
dents and BAM Club members
will be invited to go on the excur
sion.
The game will take place on a
Friday nite. The train will leave
Columbia Thursday nite and will
arrive in Miami Friday morning.
After the game Friday nite the
students will head back for the
Carolina campus, and arrive there
Saturday morning. The Block "C"
will investigate as to how the class
cuts are to be received by the reg
istrar. The Garnet and Black Band
will also make the trip. It is pos
sible that the football squad will
also leave on the same train with
the students.
Another topic brought up before
the meeting was the eligibility of
members.
Plans for a dance to be held after
the end of the football season were
also discussed. "Dutch" Elston,

Varsity Boxers
Will Be Called
On November 1
Large Squad Expected;
Sol Blott Drops Boxing;
Schedule Is Limited
No definite plans have been made
for the Varsity boxers so far this
year, but all candidates, old and
new, will probably be called No
vember 1.
Quite a large squad is to be ex
pected, although some of the best
glove swingers of last year will
not participate this year. Sol
Blatt, Jr. is one of these as he an
nounced some time ago thAt he
would not box this year.
The training will be in the field
house and Coach DeMars hopes to
have a wooden flooring put in at
the south end of the field house by
the time boxing training com
mences.
It has been difficult this year to
obtain a well rounded schedule be
cause several schools which have
been on the South Carolina pro
gram in the past have dropped
boxing as an inter-collegiate sport.
Probably one of the most outstand
ing is Duke University.
The schedule as it stands now is
Maryland at Maryland, January 11;
Columbus University, here Jan
uary 18; Clemson at Clemson, Feb
ruary 1; and The Citadel, here Feb
ruary 15.
A meet with Virginia Tech is
now under consideration and will
be decided soon. A second meet
with Clemson this year is also
under consideration. If it is de
cided upon, the second meet will
be at the University as the first one
is to be at Clemson.
Gus Hempley, and Lucius Henson
were placed on the attendance com
mittee.
