The combinatioi Biddies Ducked By Citadel Pups In Damp Fracas Citadel Land Machine Sails Over Biddies Whose Passes Fail The Citadel Bulipups from the "City by the sea" proved their su perior seamanship as they waded over the Biddies of Carolina 13-0 in their dual Nov. 2. This was the first state loss administered to a Carolina frosh team in four years. The rain infested encounter turned into an exchange of punts early in the first period as Benny Allard tried to match the toe of Salvato, a Philadelphia wizard on the Citadel team. The Bulipups outweighed the Biddies forward wall and sent their land machine bowling over the pass conscious young Birds. The main feature of the game was the running of Salvato, triple threat Bullpup back who splashed to one of the two Citadel touch downs, while pla. ing the outstand ing game in running and kicking. Starring for the defeated Chicks was Earl Dunham who brought the crowd to its feet with a plunge through the Puppies line for 20 yards. The rain commenced soon after the referees walked on the playing field, stopped f,or the half period, and once more drenched the small gathering of spectators as soon as the second half began. The Citadel freshmen turned their first break into a touchdown when King, Bullpup end broke through and blocked Allards kick on the Biddies 28 yard line, scooped up the muddy pigskin and swam the remaining distance for pay dirt, Latest Popular RECORDS INTELLIGENT SERVICE R.

Columbia Product Showing Up Well At Flank Position Lietner, Gamecock End Playing New Role In Collegiate Football "Local boy makes good," is the phrase that should accompany John Lietner's name when spoken in re gard to his position on the varsity Gamecock eleven. John came to the University heralded as one of the best backs in the state and immediately took up the fullback responsibilities on coach Ted Petoskey's '39 yearling eleven. His bone crushing line plunges and stellar defensive work sparkled the Biddies to the state championship that year. As a member of Columbia high's eleven in 1938, he made all-state at the fullback position. He was switched to his present position of end under the Enright regime to fill a gap left open at the flank post. C Weighing only 185 lbs. John is known to all opponents for his fighting spirit. This same spirit effected his banishment from the Duquesne game for picking on a puny 215 lb. tackle. Lietner is not only a one sport man, he has conquered heights iq other sporting fields as well. He was center fielder and one of the leading hitters on Esso's famous softball team.

Well for tified in the lighter divisions, the battling Birds are at present minus talent in the heavier brackets. In Olin McDonald, Willis Beall, Harry Lofton, and Lucius Henson, the Gamecock sluggers possess the nucleus of a well-balanced aggre gation. Gone from the ranks of the Birds however are Captain Dick Baxter, ace heavyweight, Sol Blatt, Southern Conference lightweight champion, Clinton Christmas, prom ising sophomore featherweight, and Shag MacCarter who held down the 165 pound spot. Olin MacDonald, undefeated in his first year of collegiate ring campaigning that led him to the Southern Conference Batamweight championship, is captain of this year's squad. He was presented with the Gittman medal for being the outstanding ringman on the Carolina team last year, and is con sidered a good bet to repeat his great performance again this year. In the 145 pound division, De Mars has a capable battler in Willis Beall who lost only to Citadel's Lempesis during the regular sea son and came back to fight his way to the semifinals in the Southern Conference Tourney. Harry Lof ton, also a semi-finalist in last year's tournament, is back in his old 155 pound slot. Lucius Henson, who has been spending his afternoons assisting FIank .jC hnsonwith the frosh foot ballers, put in his appearance this week and is now working out with the squad. Lucius carried t h e Gamecock colors into the ring last year in the lightheavyweight divi sion and gave a good account of himself, although green and inex perienced.
