Gamecockf Krowing With Kirby BY JOE KIRBY Cocka-doodle-doo!!! No, my friends, your sports scribe ain't off his nut, that's just that crow I promised myself in the first appearance of this pile of type. Thus far I've been com ing through with some pretty raucous cheeping, but since that victory over the Kansas State Wildcats last Saturday I had to get a real honest to gosh crow off my chest. Stealing a page from Hitler's book of offensive tactics, and employing at pigskin instead of a messerschmidt, flight coi mander Al Grygo raided Kansas State's end zones three times i to put the fighting Gamecocks in the win colunm for the first time this year. Two of those touchdown aerials nestled like co-eds into the arms of "de Jeep'' Urban and another stuck to the reaching fingers of Harvey Blouin in the end zone. These tosses for tallies bring the (rygo to Urban touchdown total to 5 and "de Jeep's" individual points to 30. This depart ment will wager its best hat, which when last seen during the Hoover administration was serving as a federal housing proj ect for homeless moths, that no Southern Conference player has scored that much against all major opponents this season. Porter I Put clean sheets on two more All-Southern berths. Here comes a couple of Gamecocks. MY MONEY SAYS CAROLINAL So far this season, the Baptists of Furman University which 1 the Gamecocks face in Greenville, Saturday, have been like I the "little girl who had a little curl." When they were good, they were very, very good, but when they were bad they were rotten. Unfortunately the Hurricane usually proves to be very, very good when meeting the Gamecocks. And one can't help but notice how rotten they were last week in falling before Vir ginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., so look for a slam bang affair in Greenville, Saturday. As a matter of fact, I'll place the old moth home in jeopardy again that Dizzy has been drilling Proctor, hlamer, Martin, et al. on Carolina plays for the past two weeks and that they did not know whether Tech used the Notre Dame, Warner, or what have you systems, five minutes before game time. (There's t nothing so refreshing as a bit of exaggeration at times, is there?) I'll take the Birds to emerge from a maelstrom of passes and long gallops on the long end of the count by about three touchdowns to two or four to three. GO SOUTH, YOUNG MAN Three cheers for the Block C Club. They've already planned our Thanksgiving vacation for us, and what a vacation that should turn out to be. For the small sum of $8.00 you can get to Miami, rub shoulders wvith the idle rich and return. For a couple of more greenbacks you'll be able to see the Game cocks drub Miami, eat, sleep, drink, and be merry for the dura tion of the holidays. The Club in cooperation with the Southern Railroad has made complete plans for the excursion. The majority of the students will leave the Southern Railroad station at 9:50 p. m. Wednesday with the team and probably the band, and will ar rive in "America's Playground"' at 4:00 p. m. on Thursday. The game will not be played until Friday night, so plenty of spare time is left for sightseeing. The party will return in time for classes Moniday morning. Tickets for the game will not exceed 50 cents, saidl Coach Enright. Railroad tickets can be procured from Joe Patrone, Kit Fitzsimnmons, or the South ern Railway office. The Block C Club, and especially President Joe Patrone de serves much credit for arranging the excursion. Although a new organization, the Club has already accomplished more than many of the more time honored ones on the campus. Keep it up boys ! UNDER-RATED AND THEN SOME This department here and now places in nomination the name of sophomore tackle Elmore "Bobo" Carter for the unique po sition of the most underrated football player in America. The press has not neglected Carter, but neither has he received the plaudits,that his great play deserves. "Bobo, who is probably the lightest tackle in big time foot ball, weighing only 185 pounds, has turned in brilliant per formances in all five of the Birds' appearances and has played almost 60 minutes in every game. His stellar play has not gone unnoticed by opposing coaches, for every one has com mented on his play. Furman scouts returned to Greenville after the Kansas State game singing his praises as the most impressive ball player in the Gamecock coop. HARVEY'S HOT Since returning to the line-up in the last three games, Harvey Blouin has been proving to spectators why he was voted the most valuable player on last year's squad. Harvey has played practically every minute of the last three contests and has been tho most consistent ground gainer on the squad, all the while 4playing brilliant defens.ive ball. /MeE BiddiE Clash To Come Off Tonight In Greenville Biddies Are Seeking Third Win Of Season; Furman Slated To Win The University of South Carolina 3iddies will be seeking their fourth onsecutive win over the Furman ..uiversity Purple Breeze, today vhen the two yearling squads clash n Greenville. According to the old dope bucket he Breeze enjoys a slight edge over he Carolina frosh. Furman won ver the Citadel freshman eleven 1-7 while the Biddies lost to the ame team 14-0. Today's game will mark the fifth Lnd final game for Coach Frank ohnson's freshmen charges. So far his season the Carolina frosh have ost to the Georgia Bullpups and he Citadel Plebes and have won ver the Clemson Cubs and Presby erian's Blue Anklets. A win over he Furman yearlings will give the .arolina freshmen a tie for state ionors with the Citadel and Fur nan rat teams, each aggregation laving lost only once in state coi ietition. Coach Johnson has had two veeks to get his eleven into high unning gear. A heavy rain and oggy leld prevented the Biddies rom showing the flash in the Cit del game as they showed in pre ,ious games. The Carolina Rats will be without he services of Allard, fast running Lnd accurate passing back who has vithdrawn from school, however, Dunham, who has been on the >ench practically all season with in uries, showed tip well in the Cit Adel game and is expected to fill he gap in the backfield. The Furman lads will probably ace a strong forward wall made up )f such outstanding stalwarts as Ii1ner and Harrison, ends; Keenan md Allen, tackles; Norman and ohnson, guards; and Tate, center. In the backfield; Dunham, Brid vell, Ward and Little will prob tbly get the call for leather lugging it ies. The frosh game wvill serve as a relude to the varsity tilt between he Carolina Gamecocks and the F~urmian Purple Hurrican on Satur lay.

K-State Birds Gain First Real Win Of Year Air Show Staged By Grygo, Urban, Blouin The South Carolina Gamecocks :ested victory last Saturday for the irst time this season when they spurred the Kansas State Wildcats o a 20 to 13 count. Playing on their ionic ground before 12,000 fans the .amecocks netted three touch lown passes with Al Grygo toss ng and "Jeep" Urban and Harvey Blouin receiving. Grygo and Urban went into the game early in the second quarter ind saw it was about time to start he ball arolling. McCullough re :overed a Kansas State fumble for :he Gamecocks on the Wildcats' 45. arygo and Rice combined to get a irst down on the Wildcat 32. Rice >icked up a yard and Grygo heaved in aerial to Urban for 18 and a first lown on the State 13. Grygo, on the third down, iropped back from the 9 and -itched one to Blouin in the end rone for a touchdown. Dutch Els ton's placement was blocked, but Srygo, dashed back to the 25, scooped up the ball and raced down tie sidelines for the extra point be ore the Kansans realized what had biappened. The Kansans started a 65 yard march on tihe kick-off which ended n Gamecock pay dirt. On four line smashing plays, State advanced to Carolina's 26 stripe and from there Q?uick passed to' Watkins on the 16 who raced on over untouched. The Wildcat placement was blocked and several plays later the half ended with the Gamecocks out in front i to 6. Early in the third quarter the Gamecocks took the ball on the 50 yard lin.e and Grygo faded back to kis 35 and heaved a pass to Urban who took it in stride and outran several Staters to cross the goal. E~lstoni's placement was good. But again the Kansans took the kick-off and marched 93 yards for a tally. To climax the drive, Lang vardt drove around left end from the 14. State's placement was good. Carolina's final touchdown came early in the fourth quarter and as a result of the most dazzling play of the ganie. The Gamecocks had just taken the ball on their 35. Grygo took the pass from center, faded back and flipped one to Urban as the long end broke across the mid dle on the Carolina 45. Big "Jeep" latched on to the ball, pulled away from two would-be tacklers and slipped into high. Double Feature Shown At Wekly BAM Session A double bill movie was the main attraction of the weekly BAM (tinck-a-month) club's quarterback session held Wednesday night in the ballroom of hotel Jefferson. A large crowd turned out to hear Rex Enrighit, Bird mentor, and to see movies of Carolina's victory over Kansas State and movies of the Carolina-Penn State game which were not shown at the Nov. 6 meeting due to the late arrival of films from Pittsburg. There was no discusision of foot ball ruten in Wednesay's meetin. arroW Carolina Seeks Second Win In Annual Classic Hurricane Pointing To Tilt; 2 Bird Regulars May Not See Service "If we can stop the dashes of Bra zil, the line busting tactics of Proc tor, and the all around play of 'Pep per' Martin, I think we'll stand a good chance of beating Furman, to morrow. If we don't stop them and our injuries don't improve, we're sunk." This about all the pre-game dope Enright of the Carolina Birds could be led to give out. The guard spot still remained the most doubtful one on the riddled line of the Birds as Joe Krivonak was still pronounced "doubtful". The fullback post has been ably filled by Glenn Rice for the past two games since "Iledge" Arrowsmith's knee got banged up. Bill Applegate is ready to go. Arthur "Dutch" Elston up until last Saturday the blocking back on the Notre Dame shift is to fill the guard spot and quarterback slot alternately. A new headache was added to several the Carolina coaches already have as "Kirk" Norton, regular quarterback went to the Infirmary Wednesday. He received a neck in jury in the Kansas State game, but the coaches hope he will be ready to go tomorrow. In the line the Furmanites point to the fact that -lazel Gilstrap has just returned from the temporarily in jured ranks and is ready to go at the tackle spot, teaming with Cornwall. Bruising Gates Parker is at one . i guard spot. The fullback post left vacant by Rhoten Shetley has been ably filled by Dewey Proctor, who has been ap propriately titled "Bull" because of his rushes that so resemble that charging animal. "Breezy" Brazil is the man for their heavy line to shake into the clear because reports state that he is about the fastest stepper in moleskins this state has seen this year. The scoring combination of Grygo iv Uiban was broken up for the first time this season by the confinement of "De Jeep" to the infirmary with a bad cold, and if his condition doesn't improve may miss the game tomorrow. The fast stepping Grygo , is ready to go and it may be that a newv combination will emerge between Grygo and Blouin, this combination clicked for six points against Kansas.
