State, 7 To 6 Sf lit, Birds, Tigers Set For Annual Fair Classic 24,102 To See Tigs, Birds Vie Officials Plan To Stage Gators Cop 1st Win In 2 Seasons Forbes' 70-Yard Run Gives Florida Team 1st Win In 14 Starts BIG THURSDAY' ALL THE COLOR, tradition and carnival atmosphere lncl-dent to the annual Clemson-Uarollna football game, a classic dating from 1896, has been captured by Harper Oault, of the Rock Hill Evening Herald In a booklet entitled "Big Thursday in South Carolina." So says' an Associated Press story heralding the booklet, Just off the press, which is on sale in Greenville and elsewhere in the state. It is a concise, and brightly written piece and no one has a more fluent pen to do the Job than our good friend, Gault. "Big Thursday in South Carolina" "For over a half century open season for wackiness," Gault writes opens with an account of how approximately 10,000 tlcketless fans crashed the gate last year and swarmed all about the sidelines and even onto the playing field. From there the booklet goes back into history to recall many amusing incidents and hullabaloo connected with the annual contest Each Is related colorfully and there is a vivid description of the "big fight of 1902." "The occasion of the Carollna-Clemson game is the state's fall fashion show, unofficial democratic caucus, annual reunion xx," Gault says.

"It's the biggest social event of the year and it exudes color which overflows the stadium, rolls past the fair ground portals and splashes into the Congaree river. "When the Gamecocks and Tigers meet, the whole state takes sides and 'there's not an inch of neutral ground from Hog Back mountain to the Atlantic ocean." In a foreword, Gault says that "in writing 'Big Thursday In South I have made no attempt to compile a complete and detailed history of the football classic. Rather, I have tried to tell the story of the game; to catch something of the feeling, the carnival atmosphere, the color of the game, to tell in a brief way some of the things which make It 'the game' in South Carolina."

Expected to spark the Tigers Thursday are Bob Gage and Jim Reynolds, the latter recovered from an Injury suffered In the Wake Forest game, while Guard Max Walker and Quarterback Jim Droopy) Atwell are sure to feature 'Cats Topple Vandy From Unbeaten Ranks NASHVILLE. Oct. 18. W) Kentucky's Wildcats had their backs and their T' formation functioning to perfection today to defeat the hitherto unbeaten Vanderbllt Commodores, 14 to 0, in a Southeastern A CLEMSON VICTORY FORESEEN ALL THAT GAULT graphically relates about the fanfare is applicable to the event this coming Thursday. Today, though, "Big Thursday" becomes the "Big Question." Who'll win? Carolina definitely merits the favorite's role in speculation because of better and more abundant material.

The Gamecocks can strike offensively in more ways than Clemson, but if the Tigers regain some of their lost spirit and play their top game they should be capable of upsetting the favored foe. Clemson's success may depend largely on Jim Reynolds, the fullback, who was unable to play against N. C. State and his absence bereft the Tigers of power to go with Bobby Gage's wide plays. When Gage hurt his hand he couldn't throw, and wasn't a heck of a lot the Tigers could do with a one- attack.

Carolina has the depth of material to make replacements without weakening the offense too much. Clemson is short-handed Much depends upon how long Clemson's mainsprings of offense can stand the wear and tear of bruising battle, such as this game always develops. The Tigers haven't been able to get or develop a spinback who can handle the ball with dexterity and deception for reverses and half spinners. Also they have needed a boy of the Butch Butler type who could carry out fakes on passes, punts and sweeps for the series of plays once so effective In Clemson's repertoire. The Gamecocks have more power in the fullback position, and probably have harder running backs.

They have capable pass-snatching ends and a good pass pattern with a couple of boys, Hagan and Atwell, who can throw the leather. Each team has had inconsistent punting. Defensively, the rivals are about even. A close, exciting ball game is predicted and we figure Clemson can rise to heights to beat Carolina. 8 BOBBY GAGE Clemson tailback mm FRANK HOWARD Clemson head-coach Wofford Noses Out Guilford At Night.

6-0 GREENSBORO, N. Oct. ruined a homecoming day climax for Guilford by making a fourth quarter 'fumble pay off for the lone touchdown of the night at Memorial stadium here tonight. Approximately 5,000 fans watcjied the Terriers take a 6-0 triumph over the Quakers In the first home game of the year for Coach Doc Newton's eleven. Defense was paramount throughout in a battle of two Tennessee offenses, the one used by Phil Dickens of the Terriers and the one employed by Newton of the Quakers.

And it was finally a "break" of the game which decided the issue as John reached up to grab a pass in the end zone from Sammy Sewell a little past midway of the fourth quarter. That was one of the two scoring threats of the night. Wofford engineered the other one near the beginning of the second period but the massive Quaker line led on the occasion by two ends, Tommy Riddle and Jim Nantz, rose up to hold for downs from its own nine. The Quakers, who enjoyed the offensive margin during the first half, started the game with three consecutive first downs on some hard running and Wallace Maultsby and Bob Gordon, but after that their offense never was able to get rolling again. Brevard Seeks Oct.

24 Game The Brevard college football team has an open date for a game to be played at Brevard next Friday night. R. C. Bollock announced yesterday. Brevard would like to schedule a game with a prep school or Junior college eleven, Bullock said.

Communication may be had with Bullock or Coach Shuford by calling telephone 398, Brevard, N. C. tVT.V.W.-,.-. pM Orderly Game; Ease Traffic Problem By THE ASSOCIATED PRES4 COLUMBIA, Oct. 18.

The Unt. verslty of South Carolina Game cocks and the Clemson Tigers will clash In their 45th State Fair gamo here Thursday before what officials predict will be one of the best managed crowds In the 52-year-old football aeries' history. At least 215 law enforcement of ficers almost one for every 100 persona in the anticipated capacity crowd of 24,102 expected for the state's gridiron classic hava been assigned to handle traffic to and from the gams and the crowd at the game. Never since the first game played In a heavy downpour at the 1896 fair, have more careful arrangements been made for one of the games. Officials were Jolted into activity by 6,000 gate crashers and quickly-nipped flood of bogus tickets that almost wrecked last year's contest.

Easing the traffic problem tremendously and lightening the load on fans' pocket boo Its will be the fact that for the first time the game will be divorced from the State Fair Association, although still played as a feature of the Fair week's Big Thursday against its colorful carnival background. LARGER PARKING AREAS No longer will long lines of traffic have to be bottle-necked through ticket-takers' gates at which patrons were required to pay a 25 cents parking charge for their cars in addition to Buying admission tickets for each person in the car. Furthermore, larger parking areas, accessible from more direc tion, nave as a result oeen openea up by adjacent Columbia dairies, which made its large field avail able free to the university. Main street from the State House will be a four-lane, one-way artery to the game: Gadsden and Huser streets will be.patroled for game traffic, as wlU roads branching out from them approaching the stadium. Rosewood drive to the east of the city will be open to Fair bound trainc xor ine nrst Ime In years.

Ten Richland county sheriff deputies, at least 30 state constables, 84 city pol'ce traffic officers, and 101 state highway patrolmen will work the game directing traffic, parking, keeping an eye out for pickpockets and drunks and cracking down on any professional ticket scalping. Standing room, sold in recent years, will not be sold this year. The stadium seats 17,302 people in 20-inch wide seats, has 500 seats In sideline boxes and 5,000 temporary end zone bleacher seats. In addition 500 dates for university stu- dents will be accomodated by al-lotlng but 18 Inches a seat in the student section for 4,323 students and 500 expected dates. No.

1 fan will be Governor Thurmond, who wlU take his fiancee, Jean Crouch, and will sit on the Carolina side for one half and the Clemson side for the other. Although a Clemson alumnus, Thurmond Is ex-offlcio chairman of the university board of trustees. He smilingly told newsmen that "officially I am neutral, as I now repre-. sent the entire state of South Carolina." TOSS-UP GAME The long-range weather outlook was for no interruption of the "fair and warmer" In prospect for the next two days. A remote fly in the weather ointment, however, was a Caribbean storm headed northwest, now slightly north of Haiti.

Somehow, amidst aU the attendant fanfare, a football thriller between evenly matched teams that annual climaxes the state football season hardly before It gets under way, will be worked In. Clemson goes into the game with a heavy series edge on the Gamecocks 28 wins to 14 for Carolina. 743 points to 357 for the Birds but from five days away, this year's encounter appears to be a toss up. Clemson's season record Is 42 Presbyterian 0, 22 Boston college 32, 14 Wake Forest 16, 0 N. C.

(P) Seven Missouri backfield men and the Tigers' place kicker divided scoring honors today in Missouri's 47 to 7 route of the Kansas State Wildcats In the opening of the season's Big Six conference play for both teams. Oonher "beef trust" bv drilling through a line which had a weight advantage up to 21 pounds per man and striking through the air against a pass defense that was The Gophers' slowness afoot enabled Moss, the migrant from Tulsa University, to hury a 25-yard scoring pass to Dwight Ed-dleman and then follow up with a 54-yard aerial play to Art Dufel-meier for two touchdowns in the first period. Both receivers were completely in the clear after outrunning the Minnesota defenders. The Gophers, reiwrting to power plays which made Coach Bernie Bierman famous, rammed 60 yards for a touchdown at the outset By HERBERT FOSTER RALEIGH. N.

Oct. 18. OI.R) Fleet halfback Bobby Forbes raced 70 yards for a touchdown tonight through a dazed, heavily-favored North Carolina State team to give victory-hungry Florida a 7-6 win 1U first in 14 starts in a stunning upset. Forbes, one of the nation's leading ground gainers, whipped through a gaping hole In the vaunted State line and outran everything In sight to put Florida ahead in the first four minutes of a wide-open game, and the determined Gators were never headed. It was the first orthodox touchdown of the year against the rock-ribbed State team, which was leading the nation In defense before tonight's game.

Only Duke on a weird blocked pass had dented the State goal before. RICHKUS SPARKLES Quarterback Lazarous Lewis kicked the point after Forbes' run for the margin that ultimately won the game. It was a wild-running, free-passing contest that saw the hard-charging Florida line choke off a last-minute state threat and block a field goal in the last 20 seconds. State chipped in its share of razzle-dazzle with halfback Charlie Bichkus running and passing nearly but not quite to perfection. Forbes took the ball on his 30-yard line as the State defense was spread wide.

Florida's line blasted a wide gate for him and he raced and twisted downfield without a State backfield man seriously threatening him. Hopes of the partisan crowd of 18,000 soared when State scored midway in the second period on Richkus' running and passing. He hit halfback Will Thompson with a 21-yard pass to the Florida 12 and four plays later smacked left guard for four yards and a touchdown. However, sub tackle Jim Byler missed an extra point and the game was gone but the crowd didn't know it. Late in the third period Byler missed on an attempted field goal after Rickkus had run and passed to the 20.

In the final period, a 26-yard Richkus pass was ruled complete on the 10 because of interference, but a penalty and Florida's savage and desperate linemen threw State back to the 30. In a frantic effort to score, Richkus and Tailback Gwyn Fletcher ran and passed the ball to the four on fourth down. With only seconds remaining, Byler dropped back for a field goal, but the aggressive Florida line blocked it and Florida took the ball for the remaining 20 seconds. Elon Ekes Out Newberry, 3-0 ELON COLLEGE, N. Oct.

18 (JFyK 22-yard field goal by Jim Huyett in the fading moments of the second quarter gave Elon College a 3-0 victory over Newberry here tonight in an interstate game. Huyett kicked the field goal just two plays before the end of the first half, and Elon had its victory margin although the Christians threatened on countless occasions In the third and fourth quarters. But several fine goal line stands by the visitors prevented Elon from getting into the touchdown bracket. The field goal climaxed a drive of 62 yards, featured by a SO-yard pass play from Fred Claytor to Mike Kozakewich. The latter was finally stopped on the Newberry 12, and three downs later Huyett went into his kicking act.

The Indians put in their only bid in the second quarter. Henry Witt Eassed 34 yards to Tom Coleman, ut Elon held on its own 15-yard Une. Richmond Edges T. iO, 21-20 RICHMOND. Oct.

18. (U.R Richmond outlasted a breath-taking last half VMI rally that netted two touchdowns in two minutes to nose out the Keydets 21 to 20 in a thrilling contest today before a crowd of 10.000. Big Ed (Sugar) Ralston gave Richmond a 14 to 0 lead with scoring runs of 10 and 7 yards in the second and third quarters before VMI got rolling. Cotton Billlngsley scored the third Richmond touchdown on a six-yard run off tackle and placekicked specialist Frank Thompson booted all three points for the ultimate victory margin. VMI scored in the third when Joe Veltri passed to freshman George Crowson on a 66-yard touchdown play but appeared out of the running until the Then Crow-son raced back a kickoff 87 yards to score and halfback Bobby Thomason followed it up shortly by passing 18 yards to Freshman End Eddie Lutes in the end zone.

Ken Carrlngton, reserve VMI Center, missed the first of three extra point tries, however, and the Keydets failed by one point. VIRGIN. BEATS W. L. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Oct.

18 (P) Virginia rolled to three touchdowns in the last period today to down a stubborn but out-manned Washington and Lee team, 32-7, before 12,000 fans in Scott stadium. It was the fourth victory in a row for the Cavaliers who found the blue-clad Generals a tough nut to crack for three periods before aeperic manpower begaa to teU. k.1 REX ENRIGHT Carolina head-coaehf Erskine Turns Back Carolina Teachers, 14-0 OrMnvllfo Ntwi Bura lU'i North Main StrMt By ARTHUR GURLEY ANDERSON. Oct. 18 A super charged Flying Fleet from Erskine roared across a touchdown In each of the third and four periods to night to defeat the Eastern Carolina Teachers' Pirates 14 to 0.

Some 2.000 spectators were in the stands as the hard fighting North Carolinians played the Fleet to a standstill In the first half only to wilt beneath relentless Erskine attack in the final settoes. Bill Anslev. speedy little substi tute halfback, fired a 15 yard pass Into Joe Franza's outstretched hands and the big winsman for the Fleet stepped the remaining two yards tor the first ErsKine score, uapiam Billy Bryan, Erskine guard, kicked the extra point from placement. 2ND TOUCHDOWN Late In the fourth quarter Ani- ley again had a hand in a scoring play for the Fleet. He and Billy Carr had lugged the pigskin from their own 27 to the Pirates' 35 wnen Ansley tried a right end sweep.

As he was hit, he latteralled to Andy Sitton, hefty Erskine tackle, and Sltton lumbered over the goal. Their combined efforts were good for 35 yards and six points on the scoreboard. Bryan again split the uprights and Erskine had its fourtn win in five starts this season. Although he did not figure In any of the scoring plays. Rabbit Lowery once again was the spectacular ground gainers for the Fleet.

Early in the first period the Rabbit scampered 50 yards to the ECTC 15 yard marker in as fine an exhibition of broken field running ever demonstrated on a gridiron. During his Jaunt down the field five towering Pirates cornered him shifting and feinting the elusive Rabbit escaped his would-be tacklers and added another 20 yards before he was finally downed. FLEET STOPS THREAT The Pirates managed to check the Fleet scoring threat and Berry kicked out to the 40. The first scoring threat launched by the Pirates came in the second period when they drove to the Erskine 10. Davis picked up 25 yards on an end run and Fearing added (Continued on Page Column 8) I Llj.ilaf JIM (DROOPY) ATWELL Carolina quarterback Carolina game.

YNN SHELTON, who as a Furman student kept the pro-" fessors working overtime on research to keep up with him In classes, is now enlightening the Old Dominion as a corking good newspaperman. It was our pleasure to bump into him at the recent Furman-VPI game at Blacksburg and, true to his promise, he has obliged us with an essay which substitutes as a pinch-hit in this column. It's a real homer with the ba jes loaded. Col. Shelton, of the Virginia Sheltons, business manager of the South Boston (Va.) Halifax Gazette, delivers in the clutch.

He writes: "What with Virginia bowling over Harvard 47 to 0 and other Old Dominion teams kicking up their heels as in days of yore, a word or two about foptball up here in the land of Smithfield hams and family trees may not be amiss. "You see, Scoop, we sort of went into an eclipse, collegiate football speaking, for almost a generation- It took our schools a long time to realize that some right fancy backs and linesmen were being reared in "our gardens and under the shade of our family trees." We saw our Ace Parkers, our Eric Tip-tons and our Jim Camps matriculating in alien soil, and I guess somebody must have said It's time to call a halt to all this migration of our better football beef. They even went Ivory hunting into West Virginia, N. C. and elsewhere.

Imagine that! "Which recalls to mind a little yarn of a few years back. "A North Carolina school (Name on request) had inquired about a certain Virginia high school football product. Seems that the Tar Heel scouts didn't have too much information on the lad, so they dispatched a letter to the high school coach, he being a loyal alumnus of the school south of the border. "Came back the letter from the high school coach, a glowig, sparkling letter giving the lad A plus on his ancestry. This boy was a blue blood, a FFV, a descendant of the Lees, the Randolphs, the Carters, and from other mixed strains of Virginia's finest first families.

"The prosaic college coach, unimpressed with all this parade of glamorous skeltons, shot back a memorial reply: 'You got us all wrong, Coach, we wanted this boy as a blocking back, not for breeding "Virginia college coaches, taking a cue from that gentleman, have looked askance at the Lees and Randolphs on their rosters ever since. Look at the program today! They read like Notre Dame, or Pittsburgh, or Fordham. And they're having pretty good luck since they forsook history In favor of the meatier subject of current events conference contest. Coach Paul (Bear) Bryant's swift-striking T-model systm, newly installed this year at Kentucky, completely smothered Coach Red Sanders' orthodox single wing which up to today had carried the Commodores to three straight victories. 22,500 6EE GAME The resurgence of the Wildcats was a continuation of their smooth performance of last Saturday night when they whipped Oeorgla 26 to 0.

Kentucky and Vanderbllt now have two wins ana one loss apiece in conference competition. A capacity crowd of 22.500 watched Kentucky gain almost at will through and around the Vanderbilt line which appeared sluggish contrast to Its previous perform ances. Kentucky piled up 19 first downs to Vanderbilt's 8. The Wildcats scored in the first seven minutes of the initial quarter after getting the ball on the Vanderbllt 13 on a pass interference ruling. Jack Farris, Kentucky's leading ground gainer, made nine yards and fullback Moseley made it first down on the one-yard stripe.

Quarterback George Blanda earned tt over ana. men Kicnea gum to make the score 7 to 0. VANDY MISSES CHANCE The Wildcats offensive was impotent during the early minutes of the second quarter, but began to click as the frame neared its end. With less than two minutes remaining in this quarter, Blanda passed to end Chink Sengel for the second Kentucky touchdown after Farris had carried the ball around left end 20 yards to Vanderbilt's 16 and Don (Dopey) Phelps added nine. Blanda's extra point kick again was good.

Vanderbilt missed a scoring chance in the second quarter when Jamie Wade failed to make two yards which would have meant first down on Kentucky's two. Gamecocks Gird Defense Set-Up COLUMBIA, Oct. 18. W) The University of South Carolina Gamecocks went through a long defensive scrimmage against Clemson plays run by the Bird Junior varsity today in preparation for the big Thursday football game with Clemson here next week. The scrimmage, held behind locked gates at Carolina stadium, left "much to be desired," Coach Rex Enright said.

The Carolina mentor pointed out that Clemson scored more points against Wake Forest than North Carolina and more against Boston College than LSU. "That's Just to dispell current rumors that Clemson has no offense," he said. Enright expected his squad to be at almost full strength for an offensive scrimmage Monday. Minor injuries hampered some of the Gamecocks this week. Greenville has won but one contest over Anderson a lost to Easier, Olynrpia and Gaffney.
