Furman's football sun, in partial eclipse this season, broke through the clouds of despair to beam on two touchdowns but the Citadel Bulldogs twice fought from behind to deadlock the score, 13 to 13, before a capacity 7,000 crowd here today. The battle see-sawed first one way and then the other as each team suffered tough breaks but the explosives rocked the stands in the final quarter, when Furman's Record Crowd Of 22,000 To See Annual Classic Thursday GRYGO MAY BE OUT Clemson's Tigers and South Carolina's Gamecocks closed out a week of heavy drill activity yesterday and looked forward to- three days of "polishing" work before meeting in Columbia Thursday afternoon in the annual State Fair game. The Tigers and Gamecocks enjoyed "off" days from intercollegiate activity yesterday and both camps used the "rest" to advantage to the extent of final rough work. The Tigers, fresh from a brilliant 26-13 victory over the touted Eagles of Boston College, were reported in excellent condition for the Fair game, barring last-minute practice injuries. GRYGO MAY BE OUT The Gamecocks, who tied Wake Forest, 6-6, in their last gridiron appearance, were equally in tip-top condition, with one single exception, but a highly important exception at that.

Al Gfygo, the high-stepping triple-threat senior back, suffered a serious knee injury in the Wake Forest game and has foregone practice work since. Breezy Braziel shot ahead by intercepting a fumbled ball in midair to race 14 yards for a touchdown and a few moments later sophomore Albert Salvato galloped 65 yards to set up Citadel's tieing tally. DAME FORTUNE HAS BIG DAY CHARLESTON, Oct. 18. Dame Fortune frowned and smiled with extreme facial distortions upon both Furman and The Citadel here today as the rivals spurted sporadically and fumbled frantically in a humpty-dumpty football game which failed to prove whether "13" was a lucky or unlucky number for either team.

Anyway you look at it, the 13 to 13 deadlock covered a multitude of shins, as the saying goes. Citadel misfired a scoring opportunity after advancing to the six-yard line and Furman fumbled away a touchdown chance a yard from goal. The Cadets had a lateral pass to explode in a midair fumble for an easy Furman touchdown interception, and as the game ended the Greenville Paladins were pounding away 14 yards from goal. A pass deflection, like a rock scaling off water, enabled Furman's Wester to catch the ball behind everybody; and scamper unhindered to Eldorado for the pot of gold. The Bulldogs made their touchdowns in a more spectacular way on the flying heels of Albert Salvato who supplied the kick, the punch and the speed as the outstanding individual performer.

They do say Albert, a sophomore, was no great shakes as a Philadelphia high schooler but is just finding himself in college football. He stole the show today from players from either team who had had a bigger buildup. But in this game of infrequent outbursts there was another lad, Fur-man's Paul Sizemore. a junior from Bondtown, who showed a lot of power, in methodical running on wide off-tackle plays. He also passed the ball well, and Furman took to the air with longer pitches than seen in previous games this year.

Both teams exercised what appeared to be poor generalship at times, and the punting, good and bad, was swayed by the direction of the wind which, like ole Lady Luck, played The vals started slowly as sparring for an opening, quickened the tempo in the second and nnai quarters and the throng gasped with excitement when the game ended with Furman on the march. 14 yards from the goal. FUMBLE HURTS FURMAN They backfired and sputtered to By CHARLES DUNKLEY EVANSTON, 111., Oct. 18. (IP) An electrifying 46-yard touchdown pass fired through the haze overhanging Dyche Stadium in the fourth period today gave Michigan a desperately earned 14-7 Victory over Northwest-fem.

Thus the victorious Wolverines clung to a perch near the top in the scramble for the western conference championship and await with confidence their all-important engagement with undefeated Minnesota next Saturday. The hard-fought, exciting game proved to be a thrilling spectacle for the 48,000 spectators from the moment the Wolverines drove 78 yards In the first period to register their first touchdown until the closing seconds of the game when Bill De Correvont. one of the Northwestern's ace halfbacks, completed a 40-yard pass which almost tied the score. CATS MISS CHANCE Not often is it the ill fate of a "team to play so hard as the Northwestern Wildcats did today and come out on the short end of the score. The Wildcats blew four scoring opportunities in the second half, two on fumbles in the third period, once when they needed only Ql3 yards to score.

The game's winning touchdown was the work of another terrible Tommy from Gary, this one Tommy Kuzma, sophomore tailback who has replaced all-American Tommy Harmon. Kuzma fired a short pass over theline to Harlin 0 Fraumann who snatched it in the end zone for the first marker, in the opening period, after they had driven 78 yards to Northwestern's SOPHOMORES SPARKLE Kuzma heaved another touch-down pass, the winning one, in the fourth period. He returned a punt to Northwestern's 46 and then on the first play fired a 20-yard pass to Joe Rogers, Wolverine end, who galloped 26 yards untouched for the score. The original terrible Tommy Harmon sat in the stands to watch OKuzma's thrilling performance. Between these two brillian passing maneuvers the slightly-favored Wildcats scored once and threatened seriously four other times.

With two minutes to go in the second period another brilliant sophomore, Otto Graham of Waukegan, 111., en-A gineered the Wildcats' only successful drive. Michigan Pos. Northwestern make the game all the more inter esting when hard-running nacKs broke loose for spectacular Jaunts. After the Inspired Bulldogs threat ened to score at the outset on Andy Victor's 43-yard pass to Frank Grygo's knee was placed in a cast after the game and the surgical wrapping was removed Friday. The Erie elf didn't make practice either Friday or yesterday but is expected to turn out for light work tomorrow.

If Grygo is ordered by physicians to sit the Fair game out, then the triple-threat burden of the Carolina backfleld will fall on the capable shoulders of young Stanley Stasica, the sensational sophomore speedster. Clemson, winner of four straight games, including triumphs over two Southern conference rivals, will look to dynamic Walter (Booty) Payne. Churning Timmons and those scampering sophomore wing- Campbell but bogged down in a ground attack, the Purple avalanche began to roll on Paul sizemore drive and reached to one yard of goal where Paul fumbled to lose the backs, Harry FranKim ana Marion Butler, for its offensive show. On the Carolina side it'll be Grygo. it he can play, Stasica, Harvey Blouin, ball.

Near the end of the stubborn first half the improved Greenville team grabbed its six-point lead on a deflected forward which Skeeter Coyle aimed down the middle and the ball caromed off a Citadel man's hands into the paws of C. C. Wester who raced 30 yards in the clear for the first touchdown. Coyle couldn't have chalked a billiard shot to nearer perfection. Ralph Hamer's placekick was low and wide and Citadel had a 6 to ft Ken Roskie ana ai uunnam.

-a. TWO GREAT LINES The game will see two great lines bulwarked by tackle George Fritts, cr.iorri wad Padcett. end Joe Bla handicap to shoot at in the third period. Recovering a fumble on the 30- lock and center Charlie Wright, has no favorites. Tackling and blocking were spotty, but at times each had good execution of plays into the secondary.

In the main it was individual work, rather than co-ordination that fashioned the gains. Throughout the ebb and flow the current packed suspense with uncertain ties and the crowd tonight can play the game over with a plenty of arguments pro and con on both sides of the fence. STATE FAIR NEXT GRID STOP THE NEXT BIG STOP in the pigskin parade is Columbia where Clemson and Carolina have some important business to decide next Thursday afternoon at the State Fair. Coach Frank Howard's untied and undefeated Tigers are --Z -J l-; yard line, the Bulldogs were ready to growl but a 15-yard loss made shackled opposing DacKs an season. Carolina will place an equally formidable forewall in the field, featuring tackle Bobo Carter, center Louis Sossamon and guard Joe Krovonick.

a rimrrt crowd of 22.005 is as-i the journey obviously all the harder, but not for Albert Salvato. the 170-pound sophomore from Phila delphia. Salvato, the tailback who sured for the game, with all avail punted 85 yards at the start to turn the tide, propelled a pass to Andy Fraumann LE Col berg Wistert LT Bauman Kolesar Burke Victor for 16 yards and then per Inealls C. Johnson sonally conducted the touchdown tour with successive 15 and 15- Pregulman RG Kiefer Kelto RT Samartia yard gains and Victor bucked over on the spot, but Rex Enright's Gamecocks will have a tough time trying to knock 'em off the pedestal. The one big danger to Clemson is a let-down after the victory over Bos ton College and the resultant national acclaim.

The Tigers in their own mood keyed for that game and it's hard for a team to stay on edge for two big games In a row, this time a matter of 18 days. Clemson has the talent, the manpower and the plays with which to do the job, and nothing but psychology could react against the Conference champions, unless they are be set with a series of injuries. From the formation the Gamecocks have faster men in Al Grygo and Stan Stasica to float out than Boston showed, and these elusive runners are capable of tantalizing any de fense if allowed to sprint into the open. But Clemson has a high scoring machine, an array of WALTER (BOOTY) PAYNE, who received his early football knowledge at Greenville High, has sky-rocketed to national recognition this season with his brilliant play for the Clemson Tigers. The 190-pound junior tailback had all-American attached to his name after his kicking, passing and running performance against Boston College last week.

He'll be one of the big Tiger threats when the Bengals clash with South Carolina's Gamecocks Thursday in Columbia in the annual State Fair grid classic. for the score. Victor failed to add the sorely needed extra point. Furman's Paladins tore back with Proctor bulling his way for short gains, but the payoff came when Waldo Hinson punted out on Citadel's six-yard stripe at the beginning of the final quarter. The Citadel tried to run the ball out and made a pretty good Job of it on Victor's one off tackle thrust, but Andy wanted the play to go all the way and lateraled to Bolduc.

BREAK FOR PURPLES The ball, bouncing out of Bol-duc's hands like a toy balloon, was snared by Braziel, the flashy Anderson boy, who was off to the races with only 12 yards to step over an unobstructed field. It looked like church was out for the Cadets, but Salvato rang another bell. He streaked 65 yards from a clever reverse play and was tackled from behind by Jim Bar-nett with goal a scant five yards away. Mike Newell crashed guard for the touchdown. Here Victor's placement matched Hamer's kick to keep the tallv sheet In balance.

Much denended upon those extra points today. Furman had a big edge in first downs, making 15 to Citadel's nine, but the actual distance of rushes was offset by Salvato's 65-yarder, the longest individual gain of the day by a 3 to 1 ratio. In rushing the ball Furman galn- (Continued on Page Col. 5) fine backs performing behind a great line, and the boys are clever in handling the leather to shine up touchdowns when least expected. It should be a spectacular ball game, with rockets burst able tickets, wim ine excepuun a few scattered singles, gone over the boards.

Bantams Defeat Greenville High Raiders, 13-12 Bantam End Intercepts Raider Lateral, Runs 96 Yards to Score FURMAN RIDDLE STARS By TOMMY THOMSON CHARLESTON, Oct. 18-Fallure to kick an extra point spelled doom for Oreenville high's aed Raiders last night in historic Johnson Ha-good stadium as the powerful Charleston Bantams knocked the Raiders from the undefeated list in the state, 13-12. Both teams played jam up football' but the Charlestonians made the best of their many breaks to score the winning touchdown In the third quarter on a spectacular 96 yard run of an Intercepted lateral by Harry Gambrell, outstanding end for the Bantams who kicked, passed and ran the Electrics dizzy. Berry Adams, Greenville captain, was the standout in the Dynamo attack which, could not quite beat the "Boys from the Seaside" who came from behind to win. He was in on nearly every play from scrim-mage and made about half of the Red and White tackles.

"Toota" also performed well for the winners, as time after time he tore off huge chunks of yardage thr.ough the Greenville line.

Football Results FRITTS CAN PLAY WITH THE BEST A FIERCER, FASTER tackle never played beneath Clemson flannels than George Fritts who has been doing everything this year that could be expected of an All-Amer ican. He is perhaps the best tackle in the United States, and if he isn't so Judged it's because somebody has been stuffing the ballot box.
