council . Freshmen U] By Baby Hu: By TOM PRICE The freshmen opened their 1949 season by losing to the University of Miami freshmen, 18-0, at Caro lina Stadium last Friday night. Both teams suffered from first game jitters and fumbles and penalties were in abundance to mar the performance. The Biddies were even more jittery than their opponents, and fumbled a total of eight times. Four of these fumbles were recovered by Miami. For the most part, the tackling of both teams was good with guards Fred Carter and Guy Nichols, tackle Hugh Merck, and ends Fred Duckett and Frank Tobin showing up well for the baby Gamecocks. Duckett was perhaps the out standing player on the field until he injured his knee late in the first period. He reentered the game in the third quarter, but his knee gave way while going down under a punt and he had to be carried from the field. He is expected to be out of action for at least two weeks. Hootie Johnson and Buster Brown were the best in a Biddie backfield that looked woefully im potent on offense. Johnson broke into the secondary several times and might have gone all the way on more than one occasion if he had received some down field blocking. Brown looked good at the quarterback slot and was es pecially deceptive with his hand offs to Johnson.

Hinkle fumbled on the next play, however, and Miami recovered. Neither team was able to gain and the ball changed hands sev eral times until the closing min utes of the first period when Mi ami began to move. The period ended with Miami in possession of the pigskin on the Biddies' 10 yard line. On the third play of the second quarter Sander crashed over for the score. After two penalties placed the ball back to Q 'weife a pilss for the extra point was short. Later in the period, Miami drove down to the Carolina 14, but penal ties set them back to the 40 and the first half ended with the score 6-0 in favor of the baby Hurricane. The Biddies drove to the Miami 22 in the third quarter, but the drive bogged down and the Flor idians took over. Miami ended the scoring for the night by grinding out five consecu tive first downs and driving 58 yards to score mid-way in the fourth quarter. DeGai elle scored on a short run and then added the extra point from placement. The next home game for the freshmen is Wednesday night, Oc tober 19, the night before Big Thursday, against the Clemson frosh. dN FOODS RONCO 'I OUR SPECIALTY SADDlE TRONCO etora Phone 9382 NTEEN RS... ;e it UPPLIES E~AR TNTAITN t Fresh eason Debut 1 Miami 13-0 rhe At* m Union is pictured above as he Nichols Thoren, Charlie Thacker, ersity infirmary.

Gamiecock Varsity Filled With Sophis Approximately half of the 50 odd men who rep)orted to Coach Rex Enright at the beginning of the season were sophomores. Big John Boyle and Steve Wadiak head the list with such men as Paul Stephens, Wilbur Newvman, Bob Kahle, Vince Gargano, Larry Smith, Jack Mitchell, Bayard Pick ett, Tommy Woodlee, and Chuck Prezioso backing them up. This heavy number of sopho mores bears out Enright's state ment that he is building for the future. The Gamecocks as a squad hail from 11 states, all of them east of the Mississippi. South Carolina leads with North Carolina and Georgia runninig secondlt and third respectively. Enright has been worried about the lack of experience on the sophomore's part but with one game uinder their belts these boys will be counted heavily on the rest of the year.

Duke and North Carolina who ran up easy wins over conference opponents Richmond and North Carolina State respectively, take on a couple of big boys. Duke on the upsurge with two easy early wins travels to Knoxville to take on Bob Neyland's Tennessee Vol unteers. North Carolina and Char ley Justice stay in their own back yard to play host to Wally Butts' ambitious Georgia Crackers. The Wake Forest Demon Deac ons still staggering from a last quarter Doak Walker touchdown pass which cost the Deacons a possible victory last week over the powerful Southern Methodist Mus tangs leaves early Friday for their game with Boston College. DLuke struggling hard to be come once again the feared Blue Devils of pre-war days squashed the Richmond Spiders 67-0 last week. The Devils, however, are ex pected to meet a tarter in the Tennessee outfit and may find themselves knocked from the un defeated ranks by Saturday night. Tennessee showed a lot of power in crushing Mississippi State last week and will probably be too much for Wallace Wade's not coin pletely revamped Blue Devils. North Carolina on the strength of the mighty mite, Charley Jus u be favored to stick the Georgia Bulldogs. Georgia with two minor victories is still un tested while the Tar Heels ran up against a good one in a game but outmanned N. C. State eleven last. week and came out .thro touch' downs better. Justice was his usual u;i'iant self and paced the Chapel Hill boys to a 26-6 victory. Wake Forest is highly favored to take the Boston College outfit in tow. Wake proved that they are among the South's better teams by outplaying Doak Walker and the SMU Mustangs for three quarters. Walker showed his stuff in the fourth quarter by passing to half back Kyle Rote for the winning touchdown. The Wakes, however, led up to this point 7-6 and the Bostonians are not figured to stop thenm tomorrow. Clemson, last year's Conference winner also invaded the Southwest andl sawv their 15-game winning streak snap)ped by Rice Univer sity. The Clemsons were complete ly outplayed and showed none of the finesse wvhich last year took them through an undefeated season and and Orange Bowvl victory over Missouri. This week the Tigers take on the North Carolina State Wolfpack which played North Carolina to a standstill last Saturday until wveakening in the fourth quarter. On the strength of respective showings the Wolfpack isfavoredl to take Frank Howard's Tigers. State Glames Newberry and Wofford jumped into the lead in state competition| by bowling over High Point and(| Howard last week to give both teams an unblemish~ed record. Newberry behind the strong right arm of Henry "Slingshot'' Witt came through with a sur prising 25-0 victory over the High Point Bisons. Wofford undefeated last year kept the recordI clean by dlowning Howardl University.

He made the trip back on the plane with the team, however, under his own power. Sunday the leg was worst and Red was taken to the hospital for treatment, The ailment has bothered Red for a number of years, dating back~ to an old high school injury. It is not considleredI serious but doctors have told him to remain in bed for at least another wveek.

This is the first time that fresh men have been asked to wear their caps at a varsity game, but last week all the frosh wore their fa miliar maroon caps with the black C at the Carolina-Miami freshman tussle. During the past few days vari ous campus groups have suggested that all freshmen wear their caps untill the Carolina-Clemson contest on Big Thursday. If Enright's foot ball warriors should win from the Tigers, then the freshmen will re move their caps. If the Birds lose the Frosh would wear them until Christmas holidays.
