.F the HILLmSIDE
By GORDON HILL, Jr.
TOMORROW?
As the Gamecocks open their home schedule tomorrow, they will be
going up against one of the most unpredictable teams in 'the nation, a
w team that has its ups and downs and a team that can do things when it
wants to. That team is the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest who
startled the experts last Saturday by running roughshod over Furman
by tallying eight touchdowns to Furman's two. This is the same team
though that was slated to beat Clemson last year and lost, 39 to 0.
Nineteen of the Deacons got their sheepskins last spring but
Coach Peahead Walker has whipped together a big, hefty squad
for his opponents. Wake Forest is boasting of the best brace I
of guards in the conference in Carl Givler and Frank Kapriva, i
both 200-pounders. Like the'Gamecocks' ace pair of left half
backs, Al Grygo and Stan Stasica, Wake Forest also presents a
formidable twosome in Red Cochran and J. V. Pruitt in this
position. The most consistant gaining play the Deacs used last
Saturday was a pass combination from Cochran to end Herb
Cline, all-state prospect in North Carolina.
The Gamecocks, battered from the Georgia encounter, will be close
to full strength tomorrow though. Several of the Birds were hurt last
week but probably all will be ready for tomorrow's game. Harvey
Blouin, who suffered a bursted blood vessel, is the only Gamecock who
might not be all right for the Deacons.
South Carolina has always played top-notch ball against Wake
Forest and I'm picking them to come back tomorrow and beat
the Deacons but win or lose, I'm still crowing for the Gampcocks.
Everybody will join me in saying that I do not mind seeing a
Carolina team go down in defeat anytime, when they are scrap
ping, hard and clean.

A BIT OF GEORGIA
The Georgia game last Saturday night was similar to the Georgia
and Furman games last year. The Birds were drubbed by a superior
team but not nearly as much as the score indicated. The first part of
the initial quarter last Saturday was very good by both sides. The
Gan-ecocks followed up the first Georgia touchdown with one of their
own and went on to drive to the ten yard line in that same quarter only
to have a pass intercepted.
At this point, the Bulldogs had felt the power and push of the
Carolina squad, so Georgia reso*ed to the hard and rough game
of which they are noted as experts. In this type of game,
Georgia appears to do everything rough, staying just within the
rules most of the time, but frequently some of the Bulldog tactics
looked as if they should have been penalized. Not knowing how
to combat this type of play, the Gamecocks went on the best they
could but when a Carolina man came out of the game every few
4 minutes, battered and bruised, it didn't cheer the Gamecocks a
little. - The Birds' bewilderment increased as penalty after penalty
was heaped upon them for a grand total of 112 yards.
As second-stringers and reserves were substituted in the Gamecock
line in the second quart'er, the Bulldogs racked up two more tallies, each
with the aid of penalties. Most of the Bird first-string started in the
second half and held the Bulldogs on their own for the third period.
Substitution turned over the Bird lineup two or three times as every man
on the squad with one exception saw action in the game. The Bull
dogs showed better reserve power and scored two more touchdowns in.
the last quarter.4
Georgia presented a pair of real players in Frank Sinkwich, back and
George Poschner, end. These boys were the spirit and the heart of the
Bulldogs;, without them, Georgia would probably be only a mediocre
teem. These boys' clean and sportsmanlike game was almost a con
trast to that of their team mates. Both are juniors from Youngstown,
Ohio.
* * * * * * *
GAMECOCKS HAVE STARS TOO
Even in her defeat last Saturday, Carolina had several players
,who played brilliantly throughout. Ken Roskie stole the back
field show from Grygo and Stasica by his demonlike running and
defense work. Rookie was greatly under-rated last year, his
sophomore year, but he is making opponents sit up and take
notice this year. He showed up well in the North Carolina game
but bettered even that against Georgia. In my opinion, Roskie
, was the star Gamecock last Saturday.
There were two Gamecocks in the line that were very notice-.
able to the Bulldogs. They were Steve Nowak at end and Bill i
Applegate at guard. These were the boys that crashed the
Georgia line when It was crashed and they will be crashing the
rest of the season.

In Upset Score, 52-13;
Tigers Win Third Game
The opponents on the remainder of
the Gamecock schedule were below
par last Saturday with three of them
winning and four losing. Wake For
est, the team that the Birds face to
morrow went rampant last week and I
defeated Furman, another Bird rival
later in the season, 52 to 13.
Wake Forest made Furman their
second win of the season; their earlier
victory was an unscheduled game with t
Camp Davis which the Deacons won r
65 to 0. The Baptists only defeat I
came from the hands of Duke by
43 to 14.
Clemson hit the win column for
the third time in three tries. Last
week, the Tigers beat N. C. State,
27-6. The Country Gentlemen have i
also beaten Presbyterian and V. M. I.
this season.
The Citadel- pulled a surprise last
week by holding the Army to a 19
to 6 victory.
Kansas State put in another bad
showing last week by bowing to I
Northwestern, 51-3. The week before,
Kansas State was held to a scoreless I
tie by Fort Hrays.
Furman follows the boys from
Kansas on the Gamecock schedule
and the Baptists looked ragged as
Wake Forest beat them last Satur- i
day, 52 to 13. Furman has also lost i
to Tennessee this year but the Bap
tists managed to down Wofford two
weeks ago.
Miami opened their schedule last
week and crushed Elon, 38 to 0.
Penn State also opened their sea
son and put in a surprisingly fine
showing to hold Colgate, 7 to 0.
