Orangeburg fair hero today Through some miscalculation a goal was missed after ona of the touchdowns and another was blocked 1 so the annual score of 13 to 0 was missed by a point It haa been aome-i thing of an unwritten law in recent 'years that the 13 to 0 score ahould be the order of the day at the annual I classic It was a thrilling game The two touchdowns were sensational in the 'extreme Both were bolts from the ihlue as it were Something on the I order of tha booming of the bomba of the airplanes flying overhead Tho first half had been a scoreless affair in which the Citadel had made what was to prove its ona big drive of the day and failed to score The Bulldogs were off to a flying alert and Gamecock supporter were a bit dismayed for a few moments They i did not know that it was a gesture and there were audible sighs of relief 'when Berry's attempted placement went wide after the early Citadel drive had been halted inside the 20 yard Fnmhla Helps Bird And then the second half The off by Bill Jeffords was an omen This modest youth with the educated toe kicked one for tho home folk to start it by hooting tho ball far over tho goal line There were no untoward incidents nntil several play had been run and an exchange of kick made Then tho Bird got a hrealc contributed by no less a luminary than O'Shaughnesay Citadel brightest star who for a moment lost his judicial poise long enough to fumble Frankie Meyer alert aa usual took no chance on tho recovery and covered the ball with his leg a well as his hands This was on the 82 yard line The subsequent development was enaeted in faster time than the few secondi needed to dwenbe it There wai a 'shift of the Gamecock lint with tho opposition shifting too but not quite enough Meyer shot down tho field as the ball waa passed to Jeffords more than the necessary live yards back With his father looking on Bill threw the hall into tho arms of Meyer eight yards from the line of aerimmage and with the linemen and backs getting in the Interference Frankie went ahead never hesitating nntil he had passed the line The Birds were forced to bo content with six points for tho moment lor Wagner placed hi huge bulk la front of Alex kick in an effort to make it seven Holland Breaks Loose The other touchdown was no less startling In the fourth period Berry kicked to Carolina's 80 yard line Wright by neat sidestepping with suggestion of tho once well known shimmy in it brought the ball baek to midfieW Bill Holland then -took charge Ho broke through the line and was in the open The first second and third Citadel tackier were shaken off Two more were avoided when Bill eat hack This left several other here and there but only one was a real danger and possible stumbling block At Arabs got him by the simpleexpcdient of falling acres hi line of flight in Bill's direction and tha Florence aolon was on hie way to a touchdown The total distance as th crow flics from the point of tho down to th goal hne was and is 80 yards but Billmadeit under wraps after the opposition had been so successfully mrcd Coch Metzger then decided that Bill had earned hi lunch so he excused him for tho early afternoon meal and sent 1 Jaskiewies in to kick the goal Tne usually dead shot lost his cunning for the second and the ball went wide of tho posts but that was a minor waa no question that the better team won After its threat Citadel wa through for although tho Charleston lad fighting hard 'gained much ground it waa pructicully In in their own territory where al- all in their own territory Special to The State Greenwood Nov 15 Saluda high school defeated Woodruff high school her today by tha score of 24 to 7 Saluda making 18 or her 24 points in tha first two minutes of play in tha third quarter tha other six points coming in th first five minute of the game At tha beginning of th third period Woodruff was forced to punt and Crout Saluda center broke through and blocked it Foy falling on th ball for tonrhdown for Saluda On the next kickoff th ball went over Woodruff's goal lina and Merchant fell on it' for another touchdown On the succeeding kickoff Woodruff fumbled and Saluda recovered th ball on tha 20 yard line and on tho second play A Carson on an off tackle play carried tho ball across for another touch down Iona tally came in tho closing moments of tha game when they opened up wide on a flock of passes one of whieh from Swink to Linford was successful and Linford plunged th remaining five yards over line Swink kicked tha goal for extra point A Carson played a great game for Saluda making two of th touchdowns and waa half of the team on defense McMillan Crout and Merchant also played stellar ball for Saluda For the losers Captain Swink and A Lanford easily played tho best ball Tha gamo

Whether or not Columbia will remain in tha high school rac for th itsta championship In football will be decided at tha university field this afternoon when th local sloven meats the Latta team whieh comes to tha Capital City with a record of seven victories and ona defeat for tha season Columbia should win The high school has excellent material tun had good coaching under Lightaey and Henry and has played good football Added -to all this tha Garnet and Gold hit a winning stride early in tha season and ha held that stride aided greatly by th fact that no player haa suffered an injury of any consequence It ia hard to imagine tha team from Latta high school whieh has only 22 students defeating an eleven that won over Bataiburg-Leeiville with its tee-rifle driving force over Richmond academy which haa lost only ono other gam In tha last two seasons and over Asheville on of tho strongest teams in North Carolina Yet such things hava happened and it is well within the realms of

Columbia high school ahould play before packed stands Not many cities arc offered an opportunity to ae sueh a classy team as the Capital City eleven in action Even if on eares nothing for football

were given a long defensive drill with special instruction for tne tackles When the third string eleven opened up with South Carolina plays tha varsity tore through and smcaietT them with better aueceai than they have in any such session this season With their bark to the wail the Fighting Generals must show their mettle in the remaining three- games of this season if the present schedule ia to be considered a success The locals will invade South Carolina with but ope objective to stage comeback at the expense of the Gamecocks Last Saturday's reversal while not being lamented is nevertheless fresh in the mind of every player and if morale ran bo taken as any criterion Sol Metzger's eleven will have to piny gilt edge brand of football to hold the DeHart outfit in check this week-end In this connection it is remembored that tha 1920 season affords a rood comparison to the present one Defeated one Saturday by Auburn 77 to 0 tho Blue and Whit ramn bnck the following weekend
