GAMtECOCKS STOPPED CLEMSON BOWL BID-'41
irother, when Carolina meets CIeleson on Big Thursday, aty
thing and we mean anything canl happen. For example in 1941
-when Clemson catme to the Fair Classic with it bowl bid tag tied
to their tail after beating P.C.. V.M.I.. N.C. State, and upsetting
Boston College, the Birds took matters into their own hands and
neatly snipped the string that. tied the howl bid to the Tiger's
tail by i score of 18-141. liotlh sides went wild as Clemson, trail
ing in the last. quarter, drove down to the Oamecock 18 yard line
in the last. two iniutttes of play. With a first down on the Game
co'k 23, they drove into the Bird line with all that they had, but
in the four downs only picked up six yards. As the ball went
over. the Birds began another scoring drive picking up an easy
first down, and some say that if the ball game had been five min
utes longer, we would have scored again.
'Then too, there was last year and who could think of a better
0 exanple? For the first half, the Gamecocks moved sluggishly,
fumbled and pulled every other kind of football boner. As a re
stilt. the Tigers capitalized and at the half lead in the ball game
6 to 0. Bit thet, the Hirds came back, its feathers ruffled by the
sneak Io-in'hlown that had been pulled on them in the first half,
and a little peeved because they, the top-heavy favorites were
trailing to a teatn that wasn't supposed to havo tanything. So
in that second halt'. they cotmpletely exhonerated themselves for
their performtance in the first half by racking up 33 points and
turning the ball game into the proverbial track-meet.
"Whether or not Clemson had a good ball team is yet to be
r proven to me. 'I'hey have fought a good game on paper and their
press releases build them up as only the pre-war Tigers were
boosted. Their total of 47 points sCoredl in three games have
been scored by Bill Rogers 18. Watt Stewart 12, Sid Tinsley 12,
Jack Miller -. and Mlavis Cagle 1. Left end Eddis Freemlan has
' the highest ball-earrying average on the team. Freeman has car
ried the hall 5 timses. gained 39 yards for an average of 7.8 yards.
STORY OF 1902
This is a stot'y of the ('arolin-Clemson hattles. It goes back a
few score years. to 1902 to be exact. In 1901 the teams did not
meet, but lte f'ollowring year the (:atecoeks were primed and
Set when the gatme rolled around. They were still stitiging from
four straight defeats handed them at tie hands of the Tigers.
During this game, staid 'niversity professors even became
heated and began leading the students in cheers. '1'hey kept on
.elling when the students stopped. Carolina finally won. 12-6.
ttt this did not end it all. Oh no! After the gamne. a riotous
free-for-atll suked in students, foothall players and factlty
members of hot It schools. As a consecuence, relations were sev
ered. A conc'il iator'y a greementt brought thle teamns back together
ipi 1904 anid t hey hav'e been pyting annualIly ever' since.

20,000 Spectators
Expected At Game
Gamecocks Have Won 1;
Tied 1, And Lost 1; Tiger
Record More Impressive
Carolina will continue their tra
ditional rivalry tomorrow in their
annual classic at Carolina Stadium
at 2:30 before a throng of over
20,000 spectators in the big game of
the year.
Both teams have enierged from
defeat at the hands of powerful
elevens still intact. The Gamecocks
have won one game, lost one, and
tied one while the Tigers have
copped two and lost one. The ag
gregations are light with the ma
jority of reserves inexperienced but
each team will muster all their
strength for this one contest in an
effort to seize their most important
game of the year.
Clemson seized their opener in a
powerful display of might with their
victory over the P. C. Blie Iose
:14 to 0. The tables were turned in
their second encount; however,
and the high-flying Georgia Tech
Yellowjackets overwhelmed the
Bengals in a big way copping the
contest by a 51 to 0 score. The
Tigers proved they were still in the
running with a 13 to 7 win over the
hardy N. C. State eleven. Though
the Tigers margin of loss to Tech
seemed to deflate high hope for
Clemson their showing against the
N. C. State team was characteristic
of the comeback Tigers. The Ben
gals seem on the upgrade now and
will be all-out for victory in the
State Fair contest.
The Tigers have an abundance of
offensive strength in veteran tail
hack Sid Tiinsley. full hack Billy
Rogers and wingback Hilly l'oe.
Tincley, s ho reecis ed a discharge
from the army, will he in the run
ning in full strength. lie has
showed ip well in all three en
counters and will be a major Bengal
weapon. Bill Rogers, freshman full
back, has proved himself cnompetent
in previous engagements. Billy Poe
fleet wingback along ws ith Alton
Cunhie will see plenty of action in
the game. In the Tiger's hold are
also a number of formidable re
serves. Watt Stewart. high-school
all-southern nill underctudv for
Tinslev. \ IcCrory and .\liller will
also prove valuable reserves.
In the line the Tigers possess vet
erans. Ralph Jenkins, hefty center:
Tinly I'hillips, letterman tackle and
-'ddis Freeman, 165 pound potent
end. Able as-istance in the forward
wall will he offered by end Hlagan;

team. He has carried the ball five
times, gained 39 yards; average, S.
Gcorgia 1're-light team to a 20-14
win and played to a scoreless tie
with Miami. The Gamecocks have
proved smooth and well-coached in
these three encounters. The New

Gamecock power but the heart
breaker with l're- Flight proved
something. The battle w ith Ml iami
was a disa)pointmCnt to Soie of the
