Clemson Gets Long Kuns.
The Clemson Tigers in the tirst battle
of the football season Saturday com
pletely sniotliered the Elou College
eleven and piled uj) a score of 60 to 0.
The game was played under the most
adverse weather conditions in spite of
■which fact a fairly large crowd of spec
tators occupied the stands. Rain fell
all during tlie game, and at times a ver
itable downpour threatened.
The Clemson team showed a smooth
and powerful attack, well balanced and
thoroughly consistent. Tliey ran end,
smashed at tlie line and slii off tackles
with almost equal regularity and
effectiveness. A majority of the ground
gained Avns by wide sweeping and runs
with Charlie Eobinsou or Pat Harmon
;arrying the ball.
The Jilon team put up a plucky tight
against overwhelming odds and be it
said to their everlasting credit that at
the final whistle, they were scrapping
for dear life and bitterly contesting
every inch of ground that Clemson
gained. Only one forward pass was
completeil during tlie game, tliat by
Elon for no gain. Elon failed to make
ra first down.
Clemson ran up 27 points in quick
succession in the first quarter. Elon
Mcked off to Clemson to ojien the hos
tilities. Robinson and Harmon alter
nating at running the ends, placed tlie.
ball on Elon’s ten yard line in five
j)lays, and Harmon stepped off the re
maining distance at left end in one try.
After an exchange of punts, Clemson
Tecovered an Elon fumble in shadow of
the North Carolinian’s goal and Brat-
•ton Williams smashed over for the
touchdown. They swax>ped punts, Clem
son recovering aiiotlier fumble. Clem
son drew n 15 yard penalty and Charlie
Robinson dropped back for a forward
pass. Finding his men all covereil, the
flashy Clemso)! captain reeled off 35
yards around right end and it w’as the
•work of an instant for Pat Harmon to
measure the remaining distance.
Elon kicked off to Clemson's fifteen
vard line, and Pat Harmon scooped up
the ball, running, twisting and squirm
ing his way tlirougli the entire Elon
team for a fourth touchdown. Shortly
after this play Charlie Robinson broke
