ERSKINE HAS BIG ! LE
OPINION OF TEAM
Out For Blood of Tech Freshmen.?. Th
Guarantee Action,When They 1
Meet Tech at Anderson To/
day.
I
jSn
Some folks may believe that the de
Tech Freshmen, said to be an awfully . leg
strong and aggressive team, is going' ar<
to have easy sailing when they hit we
the Erskine Seceders on Friday at; no
Andersen, but no one in Due Westjwi
believes the tale. ! rc-i
Communication was established ev
this morning between the Daily Mail,
ind Holy City and the dope from Ers- j
kine is quite to the contrary. Hei*e | a?
is what Erskine folks think of their j tei
chances, so Andersonians can judge no
for themselves: aS
During the last two weeks Erskine sw
has injected into her blood the old j sc*
Seceder fighting spirit. She has tast- j ^e'
ed her first college victory of the wa
season by defeating Newberry 24 to
0, and it tasted swedt. The Newberry C01
coach is the authority for the state- j an
ment that his best men were in their j
regular positions at the' beginning of j fr(
' the game. In this game the Erskine J no
eleven showed just what it had, and j ex
it will continue to demonstrate this i un
same thing the remafnder of the sea- j of
son. For Erskine has a strong team j of
as the following facts will show: j lar
v Phillips is playing full-back. He *~li>
is perhaps the best- known player in
South Carolina, and well-known prac- sta
tically everywhere. His playing is so tw
fax above the average that he eclipses sig
the rest of the eleven, but he, would pa
do that in any college. It is a jvell- bu
known fact that the stars cannot be vie
seen when the sun is shining, so it inf
must be remembered that Erskine has
ten players on her team besides PrilHps.
He certainly is the outstanding
star, but the rest are there. His
offensive playing is invincible, and
his defensive is impregnable, but he _
has the cooperation of ten other
strong men. For instance, there is m,
"Rube" Agnew. For three years he to
has played varsity ball at center. But
en account of his superior tackling
ability he has been shifted to tackle. er.
With his long, rang^ build and his
driving power he constitutes an im- an
portant hole for Phillips to drive thru j*
. On the other tackle is*Blakely. This
ic anot.hpr welUtravelled hip"hwav for

Erskines backfield. They never fail
to gain when going by the Blakely
route. On the other h'and he puts gj
op the "Road Closed' sign when on gx
the defensive. Of the ends, Thompson
and Brice, only one significant
fact may be mentioned. Newberry Ifoi
failed to make a single appreciable Q^
-gain on end runs. This speaks for it- ^
*elf we may pass on. The Hood triumpharte
constitutes the guards. "Si"
"Seepy" and "Erk,' alternate in pla$ring
these positions. These husky
"Tar-Heel" lads have the true fight- ?
pe<
ing spirit, and their opponents come
ut of the contest sadder but wiser in
thinking Erskine has no line. Scog- .
gjns is at center and of his playing
so far this season nothing better
*hould be hoped for. j.
An old football veteran is at quarter.
Henry has been playing high jjj(
school and college football for eight to
years now and he knows the game
from Alpha to Omega. He has the experience
to know how to use the wide ga
variety of Erskine plays to discon- scj
aert the opposing team, and to de
aide the psychological moment to tgr
