Coming to the Carolina Southern rating in high sch< Ghost" from Gaffney, immediatel3 went to work. As the outstanding member of his great 1930 fresh man team, he proceeded to flast the names of Carolina and Clary synonymous to the football world throughout the nation. Gaining seven touchdowns in thi ,first two contests he played i for the Gamecocks, he gave thi warning, which was to be fulfilled that his previous exploits were t continue. Clary can well be rememberef by the classes of the early thirtie as the shifting, stiff-arming, an eluding halfback that invariabl: made his way clear to cross man, an opponent's goal line. He wai also noted for his great defensiv pla-y and the combination of th two rewarded him the honor o co-captain of the 1933 squad, an< all-state berths for three seasons All-Southern The "Ghosts" senior year fount his name in the first rank on the All-Southern Conference eleven and in the ranks of honorable men. tion for the mythical All-Americar teams. A rundown on the accomplish ments of Clary in his senior yenr are certainly proof enough of his greatness. In the opener of the season against Wofford, Clary - scored twice in the opening quar ter and addedl two more in the fi nal period. Two of the rns wvere for 44 and 55 yardls. Carolina defeated the Citadel in 1934, 12-0, andl it was Earl Clanry wvho once again scored all of the touchdowns. H-e ran 10 out of 11 times in the fourth quarter that produced the final tally. The next game of the season was with the VPI cndets. Clary, andl his name by this time wvas on the lips of every fan in the South, again scoredl the only two touch downs that produced a 12-0 vic tory. Runs of seven and three yards dlominated this scoring. Two Long Runs A safety and two long runs by the unbelievable Clary gave Caro lina a dleserved 14-0 victory' at the hands of N. C. State. The'se runs were for 21 and 34 yards. The final contest of the season ended in a 16-14 victory for the Gamecocks at the expense of the Auburn team. Clary put the Roosters in the lead early in the game b)y tackling an Auburn man behind his goal. In addition to this he scored two touchdowns himself. Of course this was the sum total of Carolina's scoring. The 1934 season brought to a close one of the greatest careers ever to be portrayed here at the University.
