C. State Defeated On Foreign Field Baptist Demon Deacons Yield To Gamecocks, 14-7 North Carolinians Surprised at Vigorous Attack of Palmetto Team FUMBLE BREAKS CHANCE FOR TIE Declared Prettiest College Game In Columbia This Season Columbia, S. Nov. Forest, conquerer of State, in turn conquerer of the Gamecock, was today conquered by that same old chicken, 14 to 7. The Baptists had a right to be surprised at the attack shown by South Carolina for ed if ever the dope favored an eleven, that eleven was Wake Forest.

It was about the prettiest college game seen in Columbia this year. Wake Forest fought to the last minute and for a time had apparently turned a defeat into a tie but A fumble gave, the Gamecock the ball near the Wake Forest goal and another touchdown soon came. The weather cut down the attendance which was about 2,000. Had.it not been a murky, gray day, the crowd would have been easily twice that large and maybe more. The field was in wonderful shape in spite of the rain that fell during the previous 24 hours.

The University field is 80 construeted that it is' almost impossible to make it 11 11 playable, or even partially unplayable. The University, which has had a most disastrous season, much to the who in September looked disappointment of its, supporters. year, played the best ball of its schedu.e. Had the Gamecock been in the condition all season that it was today, several games would have had a different ending. But all is It is only slated to show that the South Carolina team that beat Wake Forest was a much superior machine to the one that fell before North Carolina and N.

C. Sthte. While Wake Forest began with a rush and threatened in the early stages to give Carolina a bad time, the tide soon turned and for at least four fifths of the game the Gamecocks outplayed, outpassed and outpunted the Deacons. Line plunging gained very little for either team, both lines playing tight defensive games. An analysis of the game shows that the Gamecocks made ten first downs to five for the visitors, and Wake Forest lost 25 yards through penalties and the local eleven lost five.

Early in the game, the forward pass was employed by both teams. All three touchdowns came directly or indirectly from the acrinl attack. while Deacons cut loose 12. The Gamecocks tossed 20 grasses Gamecock's two. score, nine were completed or intercepted.

The Baptists had a lower percentage with five completions and five intercepted. The first quarter was without a score. Jeffords kicked off for the University, and the quarter ended with the ball in the Gamecock's possession on its own 29 yard line. South Carolina scored in the seeond quarter, the score coming near the end of the half. A forward "pass attack did the work.

The ball has seesawed, with several punt changes, and the end of the quarter found the ball in Carolina's possession on its 30 yard line. Wright Holland made A down, end and through the line. "Brice, who had just entered the game, euted a elever forward pass and Lillard caught it for gain of 25 yards. The same pair worked again for ten yards and with the ball on the 17 yard line, Jeffords tossed the ball to Lillard for 12 more yards. Brice carried the ball over in two line plunges.

The goal was kicked. There was no scoring in the third quarter, the ball ending on Carolina's 34-yard line in Carolina's possession. The fourth quarter saw Wake Forest tie the score and Carolina break the tie. Wake Forest Scores After an exchange of punts it was Wake Forest's ball on its own yard line. A pass, Rackley to Greason, was good for eight yards and Karleskint made first down.

A pass. Ellington to Rackley, netted 25 yards, placing the ball on Carolina's 28-yard line. Ellington passed to Pegano for four yards and Karlesknit bucked a first down. A pass failed, but the one that followed, Ellington to Riley, was good for a Pegano kicked goat. In an exchange of punts, one of Carblina's rolled to Wake Forest's yard line, where it was stopped by Parker.

Rackley punted out 40 yards. A pass, Jeffords to Brice, was good for 15 yards, and Brice took another five on live play. Sizemore went in to drop kick falled, Rackley, catching the ball, and being downed on his 12-yard line. Rackley fumbled on the third play and Parker, Carolina, recover. ed pass, Jeffords to Lillard, put the ball within one yard of the and Brice earried it over.

The goal was kicked. Wake Forest fought hard for the last few minutes, but the game ended with the ball in Carolina's possession. Karleskint and, Rackley played pecially, Wheeler, well for Price, Wake Wright Forest. and Cap- Lillard played the best ball for Carolina.

the scrappiest and closest game of the local season, Washington and Lee this afternoon defeated North Carolina State by the final score of 20 to 12, the Carolinians showing their best drive of the year to remain within a striking 'stance of the leaders until the final quarter. The teams showed up exceptionally strong on the offensive, but both were weak defensively, As a result both elevens to travel down the field each time the ball was in their possession. The Generals showed the slightest advantage on the defensive and managed to hold on three occasions when State seriously threatened. But the stand of State was the big surprise of the afternoon, for the Carolinians had been figured by the dopsters to lose by at least three touchdowns, and one had figured them to cross the goal line on the Generals. They fought the Virginians to a standstill, showing a linedriving power that the Generals had trouble in halting, and a short, jabbing pass over the center of the line that often bewildered their ponents.

They outplayed the Generals on first downs and completed numerous forward passes to travel down the field, but with the exception of two chances, lacked the power to finally push the ball over. Washington and Lee opened the gamo with a drive that brought the backers to their feet, and for five minutes 'it was believed that they would romp right over the Wolfpack. Four first downs in a row, one made on a forward pass that was good for 35 yards, putting ball inside the States' 10-yard line. Wilson hit the line on the third down for a touchdown, thus giving the Generals the first score within two minutes. Later 'n the same quarter, State staged a spectacular drive, registering four first downs, three on line plays one on a forward pass, but Washington and Lee held kicking danger.

For the remainder of the half, the teams battled on even terms. In the third quarter the Generals tramped down the field for their seeond touchdown, two line drives by Wilson Hamilton being good for from 12 to 18 yards. A forward pass, from Wilson to Burka, and Clestery handled by the latter, vas good for the touchdown, and Burke scored the extra point with a placement kick. Receiving the ball State staged its first spectacular drive of the game, using short forward passes and line drives in which Shufford was the outstanding star, for four first downs in a row. Shufford finally carried the ball over, try for the extra point failed.

The Generals came back early in the fourth quorter to increase their lead. Three long gains on line plays carried the ball within striking distance and a long wtor forward pass, Wilson to Hamilton, good for the touchdown. State ended the scoring in the game a few minutes later, using their line drives and short forward passes for four first downs, and within striking distance a forward pass from Shufford Johnston was good for six points. When the whistle ended the game, the Generals had the ball and looked like they were going to march straight down the field for another score. States backfield, with out exception, played excellent ball, with Shufford outstanding.

Washington and Lee's line showed a marked ability to open holes for their back field and Cameron, Wilson nad Hamilton literally tore their way through repeatedly for good gains. N. C. State (12) W. and L.

Cornell's closest previous call in the three years was against Penn A year Ago when the Quakers lost by a margin of 9 points. Although it was their third straight setback, the Quakers still hold a wide margin over the 30 years of rivalry between the elevens. Penn has wOn 22 games, Cornell seven and one ended in a tie.
