GA * By JIA IT'S HERE The classic football clash of tf state for the past 39 years will 1 played for the 40th time tomorro when the Tigers of Clemson inva< Carolina's home grounds to do ba tie with the Gamecocks. The game itself and its tra ditional rivalry is one of the most interesting in the nation. Starting in 1896, when the Birds defeated Clemson 12-, this event has been played every year except seven until the present clash. Rivalry between -the two schools has been keen over all this period of time, be coming so heated in 1902 that relations between the schools had to' be severed for six years until more amicable competition could be resumed. Statistics of the past battles giv the Tigers a more than two-to-or lead in games won, having tak< 26 to the Bird's 12. Suprising] enough in a game of such rivalr there has been only one tie, comir in 1915, when the teams battled I a 0-0 deadlock. I would be int7res ing to see both student bodi shouting "Wait 'till next year!" CHANCES? Last year, an inspired Gameco< eleven handed that "Wait 'till ne: year" cry to the cowdets, with al propriate ceremony, WE've waite I propose that we let them keep tf yell. After all, we used it lot enough. There's plenty of reason ap parent why we shouldn't beat the Tigers; there's no reason why we can't. And its becom ing traditional that the Birds make a practice of doing what they're not supposed to do. The money's stacked on Clemson. I'd like to have ten percent of all the money that's been lost by bets on Carolina's opponents in the past few years. Ignoring the P.C. game which t Bengals took, and which with d apologies to the boys in the indi; hose, we shall ignore, the recor of the teams are about as even they ever have been at this stage the game. The Birds have the sat faction of a tie with Tennessee even the score of the Tiger's hol ing Boston College to only sev points.

Any injuries early, in the game would, of course, materially hurt the chances. Of course, the Tigers aren't com ing down here to play tiddle-de winks, and have a real powerhouse, but as yet, I haven't heard any re ports of Coach Enright's instruct ing our boys in hop-scotch. They're planning to beat Clemson, and I wouldn't be startled out of this world if they should do it. ALPHA. . . BIDDIES vs. CUBS e The frosh of the schools clash to te night to get things under way in n the traditional game-before-the y game. With few tests, but formid able pre-game records where tested, g the teams look good for a real 0 schap tonight. . t- The Cubs from Cowland will s show the crowd a new formation, the "Modern T" formation, which they hope will be the answer to the Biddies' Notre Dame shift. Maybe, k but I don't think so. The Cubs ct were only able to beat the Daniel Field team 6-0, while the USC frosh defeated the same squad, 46-0. The e Biddies are a bit sluggish on the g shift, having only just recently learned it, but should have it down pretty well by game time. THE SPIRIT. . . BEAT CLEM SON! . Last year, the Carolina student body displayed more fight spirit than ever before in years. This year, we're getting it again. Don't let it go. Keep the Beat Clemson idea ringing. Keep the Carolina campus in the spirit of a war camp. There's been only one jar ring note. Paint on the sides of le buildings looks very good in le fair week, and on the day of the ro game, but along about May, ds one gets a little tired of seeing as it. The damage to buildings of of our campus will cost plenty to s- repair. . . . in plain old money. to The Booster's club has sent out d- a letter requesting that this :n practice be abandoned. It should be. 'IE BEST TEAM! flSIT FOR AT P. 0. C LOT HE S Well-Dressed College Student 50TUXEDOS TAILS N OF SJ.ACKS IN COLUMBIA $3.95 AND $4.95 P. 0.

Charlie Mims and Marion Butler, Photos of Mims a r And Veterans kId Advantage i Enright Carried Frosh But They Weren't Used West Virginia, mixing freshmen and veterans to great advantage, overpowered the valiant Gamecocks by a score of 13-0 Saturday, Octo ber 10 when Carolina fet the Moun taineers in Morgantown, W. Va. 8,000 spectators saw the battered Birds held scoreless while the West Virginians scored twice. The bright spot from the Caro lina viewpoint was the decided edge in punting averages. Much speculation before the game as to whether or not the three freshmen accompanying Coach En right's squad would play was voiced in the local press and on the cam pus. Answer to the question came when Billy Rutland, Bettis Her long, Jack Couch and Pat Thrash did not enter the game. A.S.C. fumble recoveredl on the Birds' 34 yard line in the second quarter started W. Virginia's first scoring drive. In the third quarter, the Moun taineers lost the ball lgy interception of a pass. Then Carolina fumbled an~d West Virginia recovered. 'rate intercepted a Mountaineer pass and finally one of Halsell's passes was intercepted. The WVest Virginians scored a second touchdown in the final periodl. Neither of the Mountaineer's attempts for the extra point was successful. Injury and subsequent removal from the game of first string center Louis Sossamon seemed to leave the University wveak in that position. lBut after two successful plays over his spot, substitute Bruce Tate stoppedl all threats there cold and turnedl in a bang up pefformance. Other standout Carolina perform ers were Mouse Halsell in the back field and John Lietner at his end position. Arriving in Morgantown at 5:30 Thursday, the Gamecocks, ham pered by injuries, had Friday to rest before the game. Earl Dunham and Ken Roskie, two regular backs, had not been in uniform until Wednes (lay because of injuries sustained in the North Carolina game. West Virginia, a non-conference school, presented a powerful 55 man squad. There were 13 freshmen listed on the Mountaineer roster and they were eligible to participate in varsity sports.

To Defeat 1 Puntingy Gym Classes Drill For Touch Tourney Coach DeMars of the Physical education department has an nounced that a touch football tournament would be held in the near future as a part of the physical education progiam. Each class will have several teams. "This first step towards the or ganizing of teams", the coach ex plained, "will be the development of a few elementary skills such as the proper handling-of thle ball." To this end, the first "practice" session was devoted chiefly to ball hiandlling drills, passing, punting, and receiving. Such an announce ment andl drill periods is expected to relieve the physical education studlents of the monotony of the daily routine and add to the enjoy ment as well as the efficiency of the program.

Minor injuries to the members of he team are expected to be com letely repaired after ten days of est and conditioning, and barring ny late practice hurts, which are ,ery improbably as heavy scrim nages ended Saturday, the team hould' be in its best physical form ince the opening tilt with the Uni ,ersity of Tennessee. The Tigers of Clemson bring into he game a squad whose record hus far in this year's schedule has inly one victory, against P.C., but heir power has been demonstrated >y holding 'Boston College, last veek's victor over the University if North Carolina's Naval Pre 'ight School team, to two touch Lowns, while scoring one, them elves. The Bengals have taken the same est and training period as the 3irds, skipping last Saturday, and pending the time in training for he Fair Classic. Besides drilling the Gamecocks n general work to add a punch to heir offensive, and add strength to heir defense which has shown up Iternately well and not-so-well in orevious games, Coach Enright has oncentrated on specialized work to mooth out the rough spots in quad members' specialities. Glen lice, and Ken Roskie have been >usy pounding out punts to keep he ability that has gotten the team )ut of many a bad spot in early lames, while "Mouse" Halsall and arl Dunham have brushed up on heir running and passing tech iiques. The Bird line, led by such stal marts as Bill Milner, John Leitner, Jarold Middlebrooks, and "Skimp" Elarrison, with Captain Louis Sos iamon holding the pivot post, have yeen working as a unit and indi iidually to present the defense and :ontribute to the offense at tomor -ow's clash. Word from Clemson tells of in :ensive training to get the Tigers v n the top condition. Scrimmaging Gamecock plays has been stressed tlong with drills designed to add a' unch to the Bengals' offensive. The Tigers bring a team to the game tomorrowv studded with new stars, wvho have earned their merit in this year's games. The hard hit ting Marion "Butch" Butler, Char lie Minms and Monty Byers promise to be real threats, as does the Ben gal Captain Charlie Wright. The r'igers hold some advantage in number, having at least two enitire backfields capable of some fancy ball handling. The kick-off is at 2:30, p. m. to morrow.
