Oct. (Special).

The Gamecocks' of the University of South Carolina continued their vic-torius march here today when they turned hack the Old Liners of Maryland, 21 to 7, in a thrilling game. The eleven of Bully Laval, starting the game without the services of Zobel, flashy little hack who almost singlehandcd carried his team's colors to victories over Chicago and Virginia, watched the Old Liners score first in the opening minulea of play. Then they fought back to tie. the count in the second period with Zobel in the contest. In the last quarter they scored two touchdowns to win decisively.

i Snyder In Limelight The Old Liners, led by Snyder, scored a touchdown lictore the nrst quarter wns more than five minules old. The Marylnnd men Itnd marched down from mid-ticld a series ol first downs, but the locals held on the three-yard line. Here i. bad pass from center wns made to Boinvau, Carolina back, waiting to punt out of danger, and the kick was partly blocked. Crothers covered on the three-yard line for Maryland and in three plays' Snyder made a score.

McDonald added the point. The Gamecocks were held tight the first period. Then Zobel went in at the start of the second quarter. The locals started a 60-yard march, Wimberly getting 15 on one dash. C.

Beall car ried the ball over and Soibplt got, the point, tieing the score at seven nil. In the third period (Jnmccock supporters thought Carolina had scored twice, but neither counted. Once two locals touched the same pass, the second catching the ball nnd galloping (JO yards across the goal line only to be called back. On another occasion Gamecock thought a fumbled punt was as good as a plain fumble and ran 45 yards in vain. Shortly after the last period started Roberts fumbled a punt on his own H-yard line and Carolina covered the ball.

Line plays netted little and a penalty more than offset this, but a pass from Beall to Captain Cooper got a touchdown. i Pas la Intercepted The other tally came in the closing minutes when J. Benll intercepted a Marylnnd pass and ran 30 yards for a touchdown. The Old Liners were try ing desperately to score. Shortly after the game started the Liners marched to the Carolina 110- yard line but Boineau intercepted a pass and Carolina took lie ball on its own SiO-yard line.

A punt to midficld wns made and the Marylaiiders started another drive 1 lint the home Icam checked on the three-yard line only to see Boineau' punt blocked.

Beall made the score and Zobel got the point. The rest of the period wag spent in vain attempts by both teams to start a drive. Snyder did get loose once for 31 yards, but. Carolina stiffened to take the boll. There was no scoring in the third quarter.

Good Kick Starta Hnlly In the last period Zobel started Carolina's rally when he placed a punt outside on the Old Liners' four-yard line. Roberts' punt was only to the 33 marker and on a return punt Roberts fumbled when tackled hard by Wolfe on his 11-yard-line. J. Beall covered the ball. Two plays netted Carolina a few yards, but.

Nine thoroughbreds paraded before the largest crowd of tiirf enthusiasts that ever visited Laurel l'ark since it was built in 1911.

It was a cosmopolitan crowd, which arrived by special trains and thousands of automobiles. The new grandstand and clubhouse were packed. With four consecutive victories to his credit, the latest being the $20,000 Havre de Grace cup, Osmand was installed the favorite at a little better than ven money. The Arden Farms Chance Hay was the second selection, with Black Maria being the third at a little better than ft to 1. Willie Garner, who succeeded Earl Rande as-the Widener jockey, broke from the extreme outside with Osmand.

Lady Marie gradually closed the distance between them and won by a neck. Groueher held off Greenock for the third division of the spoils.

Hansen punted to Miller who returned eight yards to Temple mark. Another basketball pass, Miller to Neale, gave Western Mary land first down on Temple's 15-yard mark. Jieale tried a place-kick field goal, but failed as the period ended.

It was another exchange of boots thut put Temple in scoring position. Miller punted out of bounds on Temple's 30-yard strip.

Honaen Scores On Pass Grover Wearshing, ace halfback, playing with an injured leg, was the engineer of the Temple attack, throw ing the accurate passes and filling in with some brillinnt ball-toting. The scoring offensive began when Wearsh ing tossed, an aerial to Kramer, which advanced Ihe ball 35 yards. Wearshing then sprinted past the Western Mary land forward wall to gain 20 more yards on an end run.

At that point Miss Holzderber was 1 up. She Efad gone out in a fine while Mrs. Haynes was taking a 43.

The Maroons got off to a-fo-to-U lead in the second period, but the Virginians. ho Colgate last year, struck back and soon led, 7 to fi.

Twice in the first period Colgate drove the ball close to a touchdown, once to the 4-yard line nhd again to the 0-yard marker but encountered a defense it could not pierce. Spurred by the "fight" yell from the Colgate stands, the Maroon in the third period answered the plea and 22 points were gained. The Gobblers were full of fight, however, and resisted every inch.

They held Loyola scoreless in the first quarter and they battled to the last yard while the Baltimoreans were getting their first touchdown the second quarter.

When the first disastrous "break" came early in the second half in the form of an intercepted pass and a resultant(i5-yard run to their goal line by Monahan, Loyola left halfback, their resistance began to weaken.

Oct. IS jP)-Villiam Falter, president of the Philadelphia Nationals, announced today that he had purchased Thomas Thevenow, short stop, from the St. Louis Nationals as the first step In rebuilding the Phillies. The terms were $50,000 cash for Thevenow and the outright release of the veteran Heiule Sand, Phillies shortstop.

I'he purchase harkens back to May, 1928, at the time Catcher Jimmy Wilson was traded to the Cardinals. At that time President Baker and his manager, Bert Shotton, agreed that the shortstop and first-base positions were the out standing weaknesses of the club. They were satisfied in the acquisition of Don Hurt for first, but still desired short fielder. Although the Cardinals were not. ising Thevenow, they would not let him iro.

but irave the Phillies an option on him until November 1. Thevenow, 23 years old, broke his leg In 1926, and the Cardinals, hard pressed for a shortstop, tried Schuble and finally purchased the veteran ttauDic Aiaran-ville from Rochester.

Virginia team, feuturine Hunter Faul- coner, Johnny Sloan and Lefty Close, It was I'aulconer who spiked an al most certain Princeton touchdown in hair-raising final quarter when he intercepted a puss from Bennett, a sub back, while standing on his own goal line. The ball which was meant for Hockcnbury, Princeton end, nest led into his arms and the Virginia lad fell forward with the ball on bis one-yard line. A punt saved the situation. Mloan AIno Snvea Game Not five minutes later Sloan made a save fully ns dramatic.

A pass from Bennett to Jones, another sub back, sent the latter galloping from his own 40-yard line out into the open with a clear field and a touchdown ahead. As though by a miracle, Sloan brought him down from behind with a perfect tackle around the ankles. A few mora plays and Wittmer's kick went wide, because of his bud leg. Injured while running interference for Jones earlier in the game, he could do no running, but Strubing, put in at the last moment, waa knocking off some yard when the final whistle blew. Princeton found itself pitted against a tougher antagonist than many had expected and not only was unable to score, but actually found itself on the defensive in the first period.

Virginia, with IJIose doing most of the effective ball carrying, marched from the 50-yard line to Princeton's 25-yard mark. only to lose all this ground on a fumble. Princeton threatened twice in the second period. The first time, Witt mer unsuccessfully tried a field goal. Then, after an exchange of punts, the Tigers rushed the bull to the Southerners' 16-yard line where they lost the ball on downs.

Near the end of the period, Eddie Wittmer, Princeton half, was forced out of the game with an. injured leg. Virmnia. Princeton. Moore Caldwell Bml Luko (cant.) Symingttn Taylor Motley R.O Pwtjurta R.T......
