Crossing the Cavaliers' goal line six times, and adding a quartet of points, North Carolina triumphed 40 to 0.

Some 10,000 spectators sat beneath a sunshine that did little to counteract the mean-freezing weather, as the sister universities staged their thirty-fifth game on Lambert field here.

It was a pass from Benton that gained seven yards, plus the fifty-six yards Mills stepped over as he carried the ball over the goal line that gave the Deacons their first score early in the second period. Quillen, Wake's dropkicker de luxe, added the point.

C. State w'llMS TWO STATE TITLES By CARL WEIMER As smashing and as Cramatic as was the Clemson victory over Fur-man University Hurricane yesterday afternoon was the announcement by Josh Cody, the "Big Man" of the Tiger fold, that effective June 30, 1931, he is quitting his post as coach at Clemson. It was a stunning blow to all Clemson supporters and came with a suddenness that was as loud as a thunderclap. Dr. Sikes, president of Clemson College, was unable to state what action would be taken as the coach is secured and all contracts made by the board of trustees.

DEBUT FOUR YEARS AGO Pour years ago Josh Cody came to Clemson and since then Tieer stock has taken a big rise.

What pain these i coaches must suffer! But there was i honor for both this year, from the 1 Davidson's goal line. Quillen's kick points scored second in the nation, could negotiate no better than a 41 to 7 victory. Each period this afternoon saw North Carolina score. Captain Strudwick Nash dived across for the first. Henry House plunged for the second; Jim Magner went twenty yards for the third; Little Johnny Branch fashioned the fourth, and Houston, reserve fullback smashed through for the fifth and sixth.

Twenty-eight times Davidson's light, but gallant, backs hurled the pigskin through the air and 21 times the ball failed to find its mark.

No Cody offense ever worked more smoothly than that of the Tigers yesterday. The Clemson plays clicked despite a lot of pressure from a Furman line that is very powerful. There was something of the Notre Dame precision and timing about Clemson's plays. Governor Richards and Governor-Elect Blackwood and the presidents of the two institutions Dr. Mc-Glothlin, of Fuwnan, and Dr.

Sikes, of Clemson wace not the only notables in the crowd. Senator-Elect Byrnes was not in the box for special guests down on the sideline, but he had a seat in the stands. With him was Mrs. Byrnes. Little Johnny Justus ended his career in the arms of two big teammates, who carried him from the field after his injury.

In the dressing room after the game Justus had recovered and was smiling as he removed his football togs for the last time. Johnny's best season was that of. 1928. when he was an incomparable broken -field runner, great on reversing his field and confounding the defense. The old-fashioned lap-robe, relic of the buggy and bacx days, came to life as hundreds wrapped about their legs.

The sun came down brightly but the cold prevailed. But it was worth it. The weather was forgotten in the heat of this stirring battle of attacks and counter-attacks. Bobby Dodd And Company Outsmart The Strong Wildcat Team DODD'S LAST GAME KNOXVILLE. Nov.

27. (AP) Two field goals and a safety gave the University of Tennessee an 8 to 0 victory over the Kentucky Wildcats in their annual Thanksgiving day game today. An icy wind swept the field and sent shivers through 23,000 football fans, who witnessed the game. Twice Charlie Kohlhase, Tennessee fullback kicked the ball between Kentucky's goal posts. The Vols scored a safety when Kentucky's center threw wild to "Shipwreck" Kelly and the ball rolled behind the Wildcats' goal line.

Kelly recovered the "ball but before he could carry it to safety, Rayburn, Vol end, pounced upon him. Bobby Dodd, playing his last game on the home field faked passes and punts and flipped the ball to his mates, Buddy Hackman and Fritz Brandt. His tricky playing kept the Wildcats largely on defense throughout the game. Lineup: TENNESSEE Tos.

Brown victory here today betore hardy spectators who braved an extremely low temperature for the Thanksgiving classic between these ancient rivals. The Bruins, who started with little hope of success, made a stubborn stand during most of the well played contest but the lack of even a mediocre punter counted heavily against them. Each of the Maroons' four touchdowns could be traced Harvin's kick was wide.

The score was 6 to 0. He has won the state cham- pionship the past two years. He tendered his resignation to Dr. Sikes on Wednesday afternoon, the day before yesterdays classic battle which his Tigers won after one of the most thrilling struggles ever witnessed on Manly Field. Josh Cody is' idolized by his players and by most every one at Clemson.

He is a man who has won the confidence of the boys and alwavs is referred to as one of the men' who have made Clemson feared and respected throughout the South. He has done much for the Tigers and the boys and Clemson supporters in general are for him in every respect INSTITUTION AT CLEMSON Josh is an institution at Clemson now; He is one of the foremost coaches in the South. He has a reputation that nuts him among the foremost coaches in the country end; his services are in demand, were last summer, by many other schools. The "Big Man" has a following that is for him because of his ability and because, of his personality. His players are for' him and they are his greatest boosters.

Last night -man rumors as to his future plans were being broadcast but Josh refused to say anything All. that he would say was he thought, it best for all concerned to resign. There were rumors that he was slated for the place at Vanderbilt as Dan McGugirt might retire in the near future. There were rumors that he would be the next coach at North Carolina State. There were other rumors that he might go to other schools.

Then there were the out and 'out statements from Clemson men that he would not be allowed to leave Tigertown. PUTS OUT Josh, if he leaves, leaves under a canopy of victory. He leaves when the Tiser is supreme in South Carolina, a position that he has nut them. He leaves when he is riding high on the tio'es of fortune and when he is at the height of his success in South Carolina. His team yesterday was perhaps the most powerful team he has put on the gridiron since he has been at Clemson.

Certainly It is the most powerful in all respects that has faced a Furman eleven in the past four years. Josh has not gone yet hut Clemson men who are his friends and Clemson men who want to see the Tiger remain where It now is In outh Carolina football will attempt to see that he stays in his present berth. He has. placed the Tiger in a position in Southern football it has not enjoyed in many a year and he has done this with material which, all in all considered, has been inferioras a whole to that at other conference institutions. He has had stars.

He has had men who have dene great' thines for the Tiger institution but he has not had the material that some of the major Southern Conference institutions have had from a football standpoint. Following is his letter as sent to Dr. Sikes on Wednesday: Dr. E. W.

Sikes, Clemson Agricultural College, Clemson College, S. My Dear Dr. Sikes: "I am taking this opportunity to inform you that I will not be a candidate for re-appointment as coach at football and basketball at Clemson College upon the expiration of my present appointment, which is June 30th, 1931. "Since coaches are usually selected, immediately after the football season. I feel that it is only fair to you that I neke thi announcement at this time.

However, no public announcement will be made vntM after the game Thanksivinfr Dav with Furman University. I wish to inform you of the above at this time so that you will know that I am not influenced by the outcome of the game with Furman, "Yours verv respectfully, "Josh Coriv. November, 26, 1930." PEARSON COMES IN At this point Gordon Pearson re placed Joel Deery. Wood went in With Mr: Richards, Mr. Blackwood and the 'official party in their box were Major and Mrs.

W. D. Workman, with whom the Governor had lunch before the game. The Clemson attack was almost entirely a running one. The Tigers threw only five passes and completed only one that leading to their first touchdown.

Welch, seeing that his running game was going through the Furman defense, wisely stuck to it. The Tigers introduced an old-fashioned delayed buck that worked through Furman's middle. It is an old play.s but Clemson hasn't used it this season to any great extent and it was a fairly new addition to Cody's modified-kick style. It todk the place of Clemson's spinner, which had worked so well against The Citadel and Carolina. Doubtless Cody figured Furman had prepared well to defend against the spinner and substituted the delayed buck, with the indirect pass.

AL TO GAIN! back to one of Captain Link lor the tired ana nammerea fiucie Stewart. Kearns returned the kick-off 14 yards to Furman's 34-yard Fogarty exceptionally short kicks.

Then oegan as ornnant a series of passes and slashes at the Len Macaluso, the east's highest scorer, leading the way, banged over a touchdown in the first period and then were held scoreless until the seen in Greenville. It was a penetrating thrust such as the Germans put on when they invaded Belgium at the beginning of the World war.

Clemson received and Welch returned 25 yards. Then the pressure was put on by the Tiger host. On a delayed buck Welch got a dozen yards. Lionel Harvin added ten more and, another first down. Mellichamp replaced Wells as W7elch, Harvin and Sowell got another first down.

Here Furman held and took the ball on its 19 yard line. A sigh of relief went up from the purple clad supporters, only to be turned into a gasp of despair a few moments later. Clemson held like Caesar's Head against time and wind and rain and snow. A punt. Sowell got the ball.

He darted to his left. Kept going. He missed the sideline by a few inches. He kept going. He crossed the final mark after one of the most brilliant runs seen on old Manly Field In many a moon.

Bob Griffin blocked the kick for the extra point. The score was 12 to 7 in favor of Clemson. Red Traweek brought joy to Furman hearts as he brought back the kick-off 35 yards and then Arlie Stewart, a great passer, replaced Traweek. A few moments later Grady Sal-ley intercepted a Hurricane pass went back 10 yards before he was clowned and Clemson had but 40 yards to go. ANOTHER THREAT Welch kicked and 3ob Jones downed the ball on Furman's 2-yard line.

A couple of kicks, Pearson fumbled and Bob Jones recovered on Furman's 12 yard line. A third touchdown for Clemson seemed almost certain, at least probable. Sowell lost four yards. Welch failed, Harvin got eight and the old- game ended with the ball on FurmanV five vard marker. Neither side really threatened in the first quarter.

Clemson made a couple of first downs but that was all that materialized in the way of an attack. The second brought plenty of thrills. As the second period started, Allred whipped one of his deadly passes to Stewart for 17 yards, putting the ball on Clemson's 20 yard mark. A first down followed and Furman was within 10 yards of a touchdown Pitman got three and Allred, on an attempted pass, lost eight. Hoss Harmon tried a place kick but it was wide.

The ball was on the 18 yard line. It was the first dangerous threat. A few moments later Herlnng fumbled and Furman recovered with but 28 yards to go. However, Welch stepped into the picture and intercepted a pass. Clemson kicked, Deery fumbled and Jones recovered.

Armstrong whisked off 14 yards, Welch 13, then eight, and Armstrong got eight more. With a touchdown in sight, Her-long fumbled and Wilder recovered for Furman. It stopped the scoring threat for "butter" fingers hurt both teams considerably. The quarter soon ended and with it the half. FIRST DOWNS The game saw Clemson making 15 first downs to 11 for Furman.

Furman completed five passes for 51 yards had three intercepted and five to be grounded. Clemson worked one for 29 yards, the scoring play, and none intercepted and four to be Maxcy Welch, as advertised, was the pile-driving genius of the Clemson backfleld. This husky young man made one assault after another and proved his right to any all-state that is picked in South Carolina. Welch was a power on offense and defense. He was all over the field and he was a great battler from start to finish.

Lionel Harvin did some great plunging and added some first downs while Salley put up a remarkable game at half and In hacking up the line. Jones and Woodruff were fine at ends and the Clemson line gave the Furman wall Its greatest battle of the year. In fact, Clemson outplayed Furman and deservedly won the football game. Dick Burnett was the Furman man who stopped almost every Tiger rally in the first half. Had it not Burnett was tackling hard in the center of Furman's line and his fine defensive play stopped several menacing Clemson marches early in the game.

Two very high-class centers clashed. "Red Fordham, from Beaufort, played a strong game for Clemson in the middle. been for Burnett, Clemson might have scored once or twice before the first half ended. He was everywhere and he made one tackle after another. He was all over the field and did yeoman service, offensively as well as defensively.

ALLRED HURT Tom Carson had a carbuncle lanced Wednesday and it was painful for him to play but he did. All-red was carried off th field and so was Johnny Justus. Justus did not play at all during the first half but started the second. He lasted but a short time and almost immediately, Allred. the spark-plug of the Furman offensive, also was carried to the sidelines in the arms of his mates.

Two really great players were forced to end the season in this manner. Justus, his football career. Flucie Stewart put up a rnag-nificent game at end and his work was missed when he was forced to retire. Clemson gained on rushing tactics. The Tigers got little ground on their passes.

One magnificent drive after another was put on and after Furman had scored the Tigers went down the field, lost the ball only to have Sowell return in 58 yards for the winning touchdown. Furman's powerful march was due in a large measure to passes which were completed in rapid-fire order. They came with such suddenness and so fast that the Tigers evidently were balked for a moment and when Traweek went over he apparently was untouched. Clemson was watching Pearson who had been the big threat and who had put in some fine runs. CLEMSON (12) Pos FURMAN (7) Jones LE Wells Yarborough T.

Furman's drive to a touchdown, from its own 34-yard line on across Clemson's goal was a gem of sustained offensive virtuosity. It included five passes of several varieties that puzzled the Tiger defense.

They were well thrown and some of the catches were humming grabs. Traweek made the final few yards for the touchdown at right tackle and so easily did he slip through that he might have continued on over the fence. Olemson was badly fooled. Josh Cody knew something that very few others did; he knew he had resigned and probably was watching his boys play their last game for him unless he should reconsider. Yet he must have enjoy- the victory as much as If It hart line as one ever couia wisn to see.

It resulted in the Hurricane's touchdown and Harmon got the extra point that at the time appeared to be the deciding margin. Red Traweek hit the line for three yards and Pearson passed to Wells, a short one on which Bill made a beautiful catch, for nine yards and a first down. Kearns, oh a fake pass, got 11 yards and another first down. Clemson plainly was muddled. Then in rushed Frank Sowell, for Junior Armstrong.

Josh Cody did not know it but that move later proved to be the deciding point. of the contest as Sowell made the winning score. Gordon Pearson got a yard, failed on a pass to Wells and then whipped an aerial to Bill which netted 10 yards and another first down. The Furman stands were in a turmoil of delight and delirium. Traweek got three yards as th3 period ended and the fourth began.

WOOD GRABS ONE A blacksmith's sledge hammer would have sounded as a lullaby over a baby's cradle in the Hurricane stands. Twenty-eight yards to go. A touchdown was in prospect. Wood made a "Notre Dame" catch of a pass from Kearns for nine vards after a couple of line plavs had netted some yardage. Pearson and Traweek got three yards, Pearson toffed to Wells for six more and Pearson rammed his way for an additional four.

Furman was separated from the goal line and a possible victory by only six vards. "Red" Traweek; the tllian-halred hatterer from Texas, was called on with Furman tn a punt formation, Pearson bark. He walked through the right side of the Clemson line for a touchdown, Trawfk rould have hern promenading on the battery In Ciirlrston or on Fifth Avenue in New Yont on Easter as far, as obstacles were con- rerned.
