PRESBYTERIANS LOSE TO
FURMAN IN GREAT BATTLE
Break In Final Quarter Paves Way For Furman’s
Narrow Victory. Johnson’s Eleven Stages
One of Greatest Fights Ever Seen
On Carolina Gridiron.
(Written for The Chronicle by T. H.
Grafton.)*
In a fierce battle bristling with
thrills, in which feeling rose at times
to whH< heat. Furman downed Pres
byterian College in Greenvill last Sat
urday afternoon. The score was 13
to t.
.After battling on even terms to a
scoreless tie in the first half, the two
teams entered the arena, encircled by
a crow of nearly 5,000, to light it out
tor the championship of South Caro
lina. Furman received the kick-off,
and after a series of line plays,
brought their purple clad forward
given Furman fifteen yards behind
the place where it had hit the Pres
byterian end. Pipkins smashed
through center to the cne-yard line.
Blount made the touchdown. Pipkins
missed his goal try. and Furman had
won the game, 13 to 7.
Words of praise should be written
for Oscar Pipkins, the Purples’ groat
hack, who stopped many attempts at
ajvance through the line. Had not
Pipkins been in the Furman backfield,
Black Mountain high school migh as
well have sent in her “Four Horse-
for Billy Laval. Pipkins was a
man
for big yardage, his first attempt
measuring 53 yards.
Presbyterian found it hard to stop
the famous triple pass of the Hurri
cane. Rawl stepped off several good
gains on the play. The real fake of
t he day came near the end of the game
when Stamps called a spread forma
tion which the Hose had used for sev
eral years as a passing play. With
splendid interference lie ran thirty
yards.
Wilson, as a defensive back, was
one of the outstanding performers of
the day. Time after time, he stopped
the Purples as they attempted a march
through the line. After the players
had constructed the Egyptian pyra
mid, Charley usually proved to be the
foundation stone. He was in nearly
every play.
By her victory, Furman practically
eliminated the Presbyterians from
state and S. I. A. A. championship
possibilities. But it was a great game,
cleanly played by both teams, and
worth the price of admission to all
real terror, carrying the ball for sub
