With everything topsy-turvy and new combinations being tried frequently, it is a matter of concern as to who and what Coach Johnson will start for a Blue Stocking team In the Newberry tilt Friday afternoon. Every Indication la for a badly shaken line-up, even different from the one he started In Chattanooga last Saturday which had several new faces on it.

HARD WORKOUTS Wednesday was used lor double doses of scrimmage and hard work By CY MITCHELL Furmah's Purple Hurricane finished priming yesterday for their homecoming game' with Wofford here Saturday afternoon. The fracas will start at 3 o'clock on the dot.

The Wofford Terriers have shown more strength this season than in the past and are expected to give the Hurricane a real battle. Tommy Scaffe has his men in excellent condition and expects to present his strongest line-up of the year. FURMAN DISAPPOINTING "Dad" Amis' eleven has been playing just fair ball so far this season, their rather indifferent exhibitions being a disappointment to the Baptists' followers. However, ip two games, the Richmond and Wake Forest tilts, the Hurricane displayed real strength, strength which supporters expected to see all season. Much will depend on the scrap tomorrow.

Should the Baptists lose, then all hope for a state championship for the Hurricane would be practically lost.

The Gaffney Ghost, streaking around the ends, darting through the line Or whizzing passes with the accuracy of an Indian brave before the advent of fire-arms proved to be just about the whole offensive blast of the Birds. THAT CHEROKEE LAD It was Clary Uho shot a pass to Buddy Laval over the goal line, a distance of 25 yards, for the first score, showing that he had absorbed the arrow-like traits, as far as aim is concerned, of the Cherokees.

However, his greatest feat came in the third period when he wiggled his way out of a horde of Cadet tacklers and whisked away 48 yards for the third touchdown of the game. What a run that was. He seemed hemmed in several times but by giving a leg and then taking it back by the twist of a hip or the shake of a shoulder he got free. His path resembled a flash of lightning during a summer thunderstorm. Little help was accorded the former Cherokee touchdown producer either, for most of this stepping was done by himself.

The question is how so many Citadel tacklers missed him. He seemed to be a veritable ghost, fading out of the arms of an opponent even as a shadow disappears from between clutching arms. Carolina was vulnerable as to penalties, the most severe coming when-Raby, evidently thinking himself a Jack Dempsey, socked Holland on the jaw and put him down for the count. Holland recuperated, Raby was rushed to the side-lines and put out of the game as being "unwanted" and Carolina penalized half the distance to the goal line which in this instance amounted to 24 yards. A cadet touchdown seemed imminent as this was in the third period.

Carolina had a 13 to 7 lead only. However, fate turned its smile on to the Birds. Hajek, the gigantic center, intercepted a pass and returned it 34 yards. Two plays gained four yards and then Clarv got off his Hula-Hula run for 48 yards temDt to ston the persistant re serves. However the workout had more snap to it than has been evi dent heretofore.

Shinn and. Clary kept plugging away. One five yard pass being interspersed, and Fred Hambright took the ball over. This time the point failed. The Citadel took the kick-off and never relinquished the ball until they had scored a touchdown.

Lar-kin Jennings, a great little back and a game one, returned the kickoff 26 yards to his 41 yard marker. He passed to Quarterman for four yards and on two rushes made a first down. One pass from Jennings to Quarterman gained eight yards and another to Willard twice this yardage. The Cadets now had 25 yards to go. Carolina conveniently helped them by a 15 yard penalty for holding.

On two plays the Charleston-ians got four yards and another Carolina penalty gave them the ball on the one yard stripe.

None of the players who performed on Manly field in 1928, the last time Wofford visited the Textile center, are on the squad now. The 1929 and 1930 games were played here and even most of the Terrier veterans of those two contests will be missing Saturday.

Captain McNaull, BJakely and Caskey are expected to lead the line play Friday with McNaull doing the greater part. The rest of the regular linemen are in that uncertain group that may or may not get in the game. These three all played outstanding games last week and for that matter have done so most of the season with the exception of Caskey who has been out a greater part of the time. He seemed to have hit his stride against Chattanooga however and may be one of the more prominent members oi the forward wall against the Indians.

Alexander, a Seneca boy, is a junior and was converted from a halfback into a flankman when ends were found wanting in the Methodist camp. The tackles are Sid Carrol and Fred Nantz. Carroll is a senior and performed two years at right end, but was shifted to a tackle post when two regulars failed to return to school this year. Nantz is playing his second year of football.

The Gaffney star, a mighty permitting lormation of the banned "flying wedge," such a group of interference as Sheridan tried to break up in an effort which cost him his life. "Doing away with the kickoff would not stop Injuries in football," said Amos Alonzo Stagg, veteran coach of Chicago. He added that the same logic behind the demand for its abolishment "would also ban a punt." H.

J. Stegeman, of the University of Georgia, called the play one of the most spectacular of the game and said he believed it resulted in no more injuries than other formations. Stegeman said the decision as to the danger of the play really was up to the coaches, and that if they believed It so the rules committee undoubtedly would ban it. He added, however, that he did not believe the coaches had that feeling. M.

J. Ahearn, director of athletics at Kansas State Agricultural college, said his "snap reaction" would be to favor retention of the kickoTI but he had not given it much thought. "It is a beautiful and thrilling play," he said, "and it would take a strong argument to convince me it should be abolished." LONE DISSENTER W. O. Hunter, of the University of Southern California said he would prefer to reserve his decision for the moment but that if he had to decide right now he would favor retention of the kickoff.

One criticism of the play came from George Owen, former star at Harvard, who told the Boston he remembered a game in which three men, including himself, were hurt in runbacks of kickoffs. OFFJPI!

The Carolina players in tones of comradeship pleaded with him to "snap out of it." He had won their The Wofford line, although light, admiration and respect. When Riv Citadel had the ball on tne Birds 24 yard stripe Mcintosh hit the line for five yards.

On the next play the pass was intercepted by Hejak and Clary pulled off his mystifying run. Had that play worked the game might have been closer. But it did not and thereafter Carolina had every advantage. King, a brother of Dick King of the Army, was a fiend at recovering fumbles as well as causing them to be made. After they had passed to Shinn for a 43 yard gain King hit Hambright, made him fumble and recovered to save another Carolina touchdown.

This was just before the third period ended. The final Bird touchdown was the result of a concentrated 64 yard march during which five first downs were registered. Blount got one 20 yard run. Clary had several shorter gains and wound up with an eleven yard dash that put the ball on the one yard line from where the Gaffney Indian was permitted to take it over. Ed Mcintosh played a marvelous game for the Cadets, making, so it seemed, one third of the tackles.

Watts at a guard, Holland at tackle and King at end did especially well. Clary was the outstanding star of the afternoon and went like a robot, picking his way through all obstacles. The entire Carolina line was superb. Hughey and Adair as well as Buddy Laval did excellent work. Blount blocked well and Hambright punted as usual just about perfectly.

Carolina functioned smoothly and had the greater offensive as well as the' greater defensive power. There was no question but that the better team won. It was a spectacular contest with plenty of forward, lateral, double and triple passes being executed. ALL CAROLINA Carolina was heavily penalized, drawing 108 yards. There were four 15 yard setbacks and one for 24 yards.

The Cadets drew two 15 yard penalties and one for 14 yards. The others were for five yards, totaling 79 yards. The Birds made 20 first downs, counting the touchdown plays while the soldiers got five. Carolina gained 91 yards on four passes and had five grounded. Citadel gained 49 yards on six passes, had one intercepted and 10 grounded.

Ingram, Newberry quarterback, put his team in the lead by, running 90 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter after intercepting a forward pass. The visitors came back in the second period to score a safety, then a touchdown and the extra point, to win. Both teams threatened several times in the second half but fafled to come through.
