F|Paby Birds Chick'en In The Rough By Chick Shiels We're beginning something comparatively new in these here parts so if youall people will just bear up under the strain all will be well. Around the sports path at Carolina Ole King Football is holding forth in grand style and oc cupies the center of all attention. Thus far, the Gamecocks (to bring all up to date) have a perfect .500 percent average with two wins and a brace of losses to round out the calendar. Being over loaded in most departments, the Duke Blue Devils easily placed our lads on the very short end of a 60-0 count, but on the following Saturday, the Macmen laced "P. C." royally to the tune of 40-0 to build up the morale that was shattered in Durham. Following the Presbyterian rout, in which all hands showed up with the greatest proficiency, the Garnet and Black, with all kinds of attacks, in the first half, hung the crepe on a scrappy Gunner outfit from Camp Blanding, Florida, 20-6. The third quarter saw the Infantry Blue swing into action and make an impressive showing to scratch up on "T. D1." and a load of first downs. But 'their streak was ended and the Capitol City 'crew settled back on win number two. Trav elling to Montgomery, Alabama, (courtesy of Brother Grey hound), the Birds faced the Bowl Bound Crimson Tide who were equally, if not more so, powerful than the Duke aggre gation. 'Bama only used their first string twelve minutes during the fray while their second and third proteges han dlIed the main load. Carolina couldn't take the onslaught of the Tide and a 55-0 loss was tallied. Newcomer, Harry Gil m-ner, passing wizard of the year, did little of his famed chucking but lit out across the turf for 50 yards and a score to take all honors for the best offensive play of the game. This about brings us to the right side of the ledger so "leave" us a look at the near future . . . ah yes. For the past weeL or so Johnny Mac has been giving the lads "the word" on the Clemson game. (To outsiders, this. probably has little significance but to the staunch Carolinian-WOW!) The vurious dope sheets have been sighting Clemson as the de cided favorite only on the records of the season thus far. . . which is a poor standard to set in a tussle such as this. About all we know is that the Gamecocks will be in top physical shape and a good game should be brought forth. Right OFF the Nest . . . Welp they're dustin' off the Gamecocks' Cage at the Stadium and that means the I)AY is jjust about here. . . . A host of new material has been placed in Johnny Mac's hands via the GEE EYE Bill. . . . These boys belong to the old school of the body contact game, "hit. 'em hard and run where they aint." . . . "Rapid Robert" Tindall is back on the beat again and really going to town. . . . Noticing the fight and spir-it for the coming Clemson bout, no' joke, the men mean business on this trip. . . . Dumas (he'll tell ya all about it) Turner doing a peach of a job as "General Manager" of the team, much to the manager's delight. . . .

Starting their second string, the Tide pushed to a score in three and a half minutes after the opening whistle had sounded and kept this pace up all the way through the fray. Although the visitors tried every trick in the books to turn the Tide away, their efforts were in vain and the steady ground and air attacks of the Crimson con tinued. The Gamecocks did, however, give the crowd a little excitement when Billy Carr heaved a long pass to his running mate Bud Eades who proceeded to dash deep into enemy territory before being dragged down from behind by the Alabama safety man. Every spectator thought for sure that the Carolina Crew were good for a "T. D." at this point, but an untimely fumble in the Gar net and Black secondary proved to be the end of the scoring threat. Youngster llarry Gilmore, while not toss ing his famous passes, did spark the attack for the nation''s number six team displaying fine hits of running, one being a 50 yard jaunt through the entire Caro lina team for a marker. Linemen .. "Tex" Radinv, All-South ern candidate Phil Ball and Junior .\leeks showed up well for the home Iown crew, while "Dutch" Brenihs, Billy Carr and Ray Maginn did a good job in the offensive depart ment. Coach Frank Thomas only work ed his varsity 12 minutes all after ioon, letting the second and third stringers bear the brunt of the days work. Only minor brutses were suf fered by the Carolina men and they will be in tip-top shape for tomor rows Clemson tilt.
