After The Ball Was Over

Men
By RAY WILKINSON .
Attentiotl Carolinalll Inttoducing
3.5 dirty old unles, our counterpart
to the "Four Horsemen" of Notre
Dame fame. Flying hooves and bits
of hair mingled with snorts and
brays typify Carolina's Herdcgen,
Madigan, Eiscle, and Woodhurst in
action on the gridiroti.
Teetering, totering, fuddle back
Eisele gained pre-grid fame as the
face on the bar room floor. Some
years ago, Handy Ilerdegen came
to light as a sport king when he
was awarded the honorary title,
"Grand Old Man of Hack it,
Smack it" of the wooden paddles
and rubber balls, when the fad was
sweeping the country like fire.
Merciless Madigan of the Murphy
Street Madigana, gained nation
wide fame and glory when as a
mere child, he learned to walk on
only two legs and cat cookc l meat.
The last of this fast moving, hard
charging backfield, was Wandering
Woodhurst, the Abbeville Traveler,
who, it has been rumored, has seen
the world, often journeying to the
far corners of Richland county.
These men working as a unit in
the Carolina backfield this year, put
football back into the high position
that it rightly deserves thrtt? fine
play and bold passes. They would
have made Stuldreher, Miller et all
blush with shame with their prow
ers in taking the pigskin to market.
One of the finer plays these
gentle folk claim is the "right for
mation, 86, wherein the home team
guard pulls out of the line, tramp
ling his own ball carrier, to further
befuddle the opposition. It was de
ception such as this that won the
Clemson game for Carolina this
year. "lerdie the Ilun "claims"
right on another famous play,
which stars putter back \Woodhurst
in a series of flips and spins ex
ecuted on hands and knees in mid
field. As a final "limrst" jumps to
his feet displaying his thirteen toes
and 11 fingers. Invariably the op
ponents run, shrieking, from the
fiel.
'These boys, first to complain of
the "No bite, no bash," clause in the
1943 book of national football rules,
w%ere recently banned from the grid
irons of the nation, since their
superiority, based on long claws
and filed teeth could not be over
come by any present day groupI,
college or professional squadl.
The only injury of the year was
sustainedl by Pussyfoot Eisele in the
fateful game on September :25,
when in a wild end run, lhe acci
(lent ly stepped on hiis head, causing
himt to severely crumple his left ear.

Baggott-Up and in for a score
Bob Baggott, USC forward, stretches high in order to score two more
points in the defeat of Camp Butner, N. C., in the USC Field House.
T. S. Ary, Bird center (No. 86), is poise for a possible rebound while
Sullivan, of Camp Butner, is being checked out of the play by Baggott's
right leg. Final score, USC 65, Camp Butner 30.
