All Stars
The Gamecocks looked mighty good Saturday. They
weren't playing the same team that once took the honors of
a Rose Bowl victory under the Georgia Tech colors, but they
were playing the role of underdog to a highly rated eleven.
It feels fine to be on the right side of the fence when we've
known all along that the Garnet and Blacks had plenty of
Fpower to get there.
You can't pick out individual stars very well in any game
and still give credit to all those who deserve it and in a
match. like this it is next to impossible. Still, it's hard to
overlook the running of Wadiak, especially when he set up
and made the winning touchdown. P'asky looked better in
the quarterback position and Balka showed that he could do
well enough on his own. There was Tackle Don Early and
End Fred Duckett and Fullback Billy Kincaid and on and
on. It's hard to try to keep from attempting to pick out the
stars, too. The lines looked much better, even considering
that the Tech forward wall was lighter. All of them looked
good.
In fact, we even considered predicting a Carolina victory,
but the experiences of others teaches a lot. The fellow who
will more than likely write up the game between the Game
cocks and Furman tonight, Scoop Latimer of the "Greenville
News," as you recall vent "out on a limb" and predicted a
Furman upset over Georgia some years ago. The game
ended with Furman being nearly 70 points in the red and
Scoop found out how it is to feel as little as a chigger on the
sitting end of a bumble bee.
Revolt
In the years gone by plenty of the best teams in the
nation came right out of the deep, solid South. Somewhere
between then and now something happened and the cold
North took over as leader in this sectional battle for foot
ball prominence. But look at the section in your last Sun
day's paper where it says "Results of Yesterday's Games"
and you may notice something. It isn't a revolutionary
change, yet slowly but surely things are looking up in the
land of the honeysuckle and sugar cane. Some pre-war
powerhouses are becoming powerhouses again.
For instance, there is a Blue Devil squad called Duke,
and most of us saw what they had to contribute to the cause
a couple of weeks ago at Carolina stadium. It's ol( news
now, but )uke trounced Pittsburgh last Saturday to the
tune of 28 to 14. Another illustration, and probably the
strongest, was drawn by North Carolina in the Notre Dame
game. North Carolina will be around visiting before long,
as will Clemson with the Tigers who tore up the border state,
Missouri. Boy !
Then there was Southern Methodist's slim but decisive
victory over Ohio State-but the Methodists have been Con
federate leaders for quite some tinw. Add Washington and
Lee's win over West Virginia and William and Mary in the
Cincinnati tussle. Maryland's trouncing of Navy fits here,
too, as does Louisville over Buffalo.
And South of the Mason-Dixon line, where Southern in
stitutions tangled among themselv.es this p)ast week-end,
add(ed powver came fronm uinexp)ectedl quarters. First and
foremost was the Gamecock dlubbing of the Resting Wrecks.
Alabama made a strong showing in dlefeating Tulane, as did
Mississippi State over Tennessee and Wake Forest's over
whelming score of 43-0 ov.er Richmond. Windl it up with
Baylor 34, Houston 7.
The Confederate forces ar'e showing new. strength this
yea', giving ample proof that the South is bound to rise
once more.
A year ago TlIIE GAMIE'O('K ian this cut of itiddie End Fred
l)uckett or Uinion, and cailed himi ai promising pass receiver. Last
Saturday, playing with a kot nmore experience and some additional hair,
he proved he was worth his sodium chloride as a varsity nman. Fred
was a vital cog in ('arolina's unvaunted passing offense which exploded
violently on unsuspecting liobby l)odd and a few platoons of his
flanhrasted enneer.
Sports quiz
Werner Strauss, Sumter and
Tenement 2H, wins the two tickets
to the Carolina theater this week
for c .rrectly identifying A. C.
'(;erman'' Schulz, one of the all
time greats who played center for
Michigan right after the turn of
the century.
Another student who must know
his football is Bernum Ashley,
who also answered correctly. Al
though it is the usual procedure to
award only the first man who
gets the correct answer in the
campus mail, Mr. Ashley is going
to get a single ticket to the Caro
lina as the one and only excep
tion. '1'his is partly because the
quiz has just begun for the semes
ter and partly because that wasn't
exactly the easiest question a per
son could ask. These two were
the only men to send in correct
answe rs.
The tckets are in the mail.
This one is a snap. In 1944
two great teams met an(d the
underdog won, but by the skin of
his teeth. One of the powerhouses
was Navy, strong in both line and
backfield. The other team showed
up slightly better in only one (e
partment, passing. Navy was
supposed to be the winner and
with six minutes left to )lay, the
sailors were on the high end of a
15-14 score. The opposition took
the ball down to Navy's 12-yard
line where they were stopped cold.
It was fourth down when an op
posing freshman, Allen Bowen,
stepped back to the 18-yard line
and kicked a field goal through
the uprights and the score stood
at 17 to 15 in favor of the undea -
dog. Navy made a strong come
back and drove 62 yards to the
one-inch line when the final
whistle blew.
All you have to do to win two
tickets to the Carolina theater is
to send in the name of the team
who squeezed out Navy in this
close fight.
