Some Facts About the
Great Football Game.
Clemson's Assistant Manager
Has Arrived in Columbia
.
Assistant Manager Hill of the
Clemson College football team arrived
io tbe city last night and will be here
through fair week making final ar
rangemeot8 with Mauager Crawford
for the big football game between
Carolina aod Clemson on Thursday of
fair week. Around this game cen
tere more interest and enthusiasm
probably thar? any other event of the
whole fair week It is a social as
well as an athletic event. People
from all parts of the State are coming
tr> see tbe two rival State collegee
strug for supremacy on the grid?
iron
Tins year the teams are more even
!y matched than ever before, and a
b?tile royal wiii bethe result. Clem
son is as strong as ever on offense,
'.but wefuily weak on defense" they
say. Besides, Kinsler, the center,
and Doutbit. fullback, have been out
of the game for the past few days and
it is very doubtful that they can play
on Thursday Earle, a substitute,
will probably take Doutbit's place at
full, whiie Duckworth will be shifted
from tackle to center-Woodward
taking Duckworth's place at tackle.
These chances wiil make Clemson
very light bht will, therefore, rely
very mach on Forsythe'e kicking
qualities and Hunter's bacKs
On tbe other hand, Carolina is un
doubtedly stronger than ever before
as shown by her receut game with
the University of Georgia, one of the
leading teama in the south, Carolina
i outplaying Georgia but being unable
to win on account of a slow time
keeper and a bum referee.
Taking all things into considera
lion, the coming game will hardly be
a walk over as last year-but a game
desperately fought to the very last
down
All lovers of good, clean football
should be on band and help cheer
their friends along
The game will be called promptly
at 11:30 o'clock Thursday-The
