At Hands of State Wolf p act re state Touchdown Comes as Result of Punt Blocked Behind Caro lina Goal; ; Farris Punting Big Feature of Rather Mediocre Game Played by Both Teams. A whirlwind, finish :pulle'd ; by the Tar Heels staved off what, seemed -to be certain defeat over cat State Sat urday and enabled Carolina to., tie the score and stay in the .race for: state honors. Beginning their -.final drive t - n j? j i - " -j-i irom tneir own niieenjyara une wiin only three minutes to iplay, the .Tar Heels opened a passing cattack which could not be denied and with the ball on the thirty yard line .and only seven teen more seconds of play; left Jimmy Maus shot a lone nassto Mac Gray who had been put in the game in a desperate attempt to completea'lang pass. This time Carolina was very fortunate or lucky or what: ever: you want to call it, for the heave, cleared the heads of the Tech secondary de fense and fell into the arms, of Gray who stepped across the line for" the tying touchdown. Maus tthen . at tempted to dropkick f or tthe extra point but the State forward .wall crashed through and smothered the kick before it even reached the line of scrimmage. State's score came on a blocked punt by Jordan who rushed 4 Farris .and after blocking the Ikick fell, on the ball behind the line. The score came lmiueuiaiuy alter .oiit: ua wie most spectacular plays of the game. A few minutes before the end of the first half Carolina attempted ox com plete a pass within ,their own . forty yard line but Crum leaped into the air and turned the ball from its course into the arms of George Silver. .With an open field before him and three men running interference, Silver stumbled twice and lost enough tiine to allow Erickson to down Inim from behind on the fifteen yard mark. Here the Tar Heels repulsed all of State's efforts and held for downs. After running one play Erickson de cided to' let -Parr is punt and it was 11-' 1 J-t. TTr1'A1 oil ,ms piy iiiaL; we v uupu;& scored. The play came only a few seconds before the half ended. The game was a seesaw affair with each team being iii a hole part of the time and being in a scoring position part of the time only to see their touchdown hopes go flying. In the first quarter State got the jump sm the Heels and kept them with Iheir backs to the wall most of the time After the kickoff had bounded over Ward's head and across the goal line, he ran it out to the nine yard" mark. Farris kicked to his forty three yard line and State after being held by Vi TTppIs minted back to the four J i XT V,4-J V,i ya.ru in axis.. rains lueu uuutcu ball back tojnidfield. Here the Wolf pack began: a drive towards the Tar Heel goal Which was stopped only af ter a series: of plays had put the ball on the seven yard line where a plunge for first down was short by a foot. A punting duel then began and Caro lina forced State back to its own eleven yard line. Warren punted to jmidfield where "Wyrick was downed. Ward gained ithree yards on an off tackle play and then lost eight on an attempted pass play which Jordan and Silver broke through to smear. As the second quarter opened the Heels : made their second first down of the day on a .sixteen yard pass, Ward to Wyrick. State's defense stiffened and Farris punted over the oalline. After an exchange of punts -Holt, made :a beautiful .play in elud ing Captain Warren and downing a punt on State's two yard line. War ren punted . and Carolina failed by inches of -.making first down on the twenty yard mark. State opened up a strong attack and Adams broke a way for a sixteen . yard run. State ran off. another first down but Outen fumbled - and Presson recovered on Carolina's.f orty yard line. After an other exchange of punts Magner made a twenty-two yard run, and Nash followed with a six yard drive. Here the pass was attempted which Silver 'intercepted , and 'which .later was the I cause . of ; the State touchdown. ; Soon . after the beginning of the second half the Heels opened up their passing, attack and Nash and Magner worked the ball to State's three yard line where an off tackle drive by Nash failed by less than a foot . of making first down. At this point the State line . showed up better than at any other time during the fray. War ren punted and the Tar Heels began another drive from their thirty yard line.. However Melton leaped high in the air to intercept a pass after Car olina had worked ' the ball to ... the eighteen yard mark. After Captain Warren had gained six yards on two line plunges he fumbled on the third try and Spaulding recovered for Car olina. The Heels lost seven yards on two line plays and then punted. State punted backh and Magner made five yards off tackle as the period ended. At the beginning of the final quar ter State held for downs on their own twenty-five yard mark and then be gan a drive which carried them past the center of the field to the fifteen yard line where Fenner intercepted: a pass. . Sparky Adams did most of the earning .in this march. Jackson, ,was put into the game at this point and he immediately made a run which; gained the Heels thirty-six yards. A series of passes put . the ball on the nineteen yard line where-State "again got possession of it after holding f or jdowns. After .an exchange of punts the Tar Heels began their final drive. Jackson, Maus and Fenner worked the ball down -the field , to the point from which Mac Gray received the pass from Maus and staved . off what seemed to be a Certain defeat. N ' Carolina had the edge in" first downs, making thirteen to seven for State Carolina .also , outgajned the Wolf pack on the ground making 190 yards to State's. 120. The Heels at tempted twenty-eight passes of which thirteen were completed, three inter cepted, and twelve incompleted. Out of seven : attempts State completed three, had two intercepted, and two were incomplete. Farris's punting was outstanding and , he averaged forty yards on each kick. Warren got a thirty-two yard average on his twelve punts. State had only one penalty, a five yard, setback for being offside. The Heels were penalized a total . of forty yards part of which came from being offside and the re mainder of which came as the re sult of having a second incomplete nass within four downs. As these figures show, the game was excep tionally clean. Grid Dust from, the Grid Pan Eddie Zobel, stair halfback of the University of South Carolina will be closely watched when the Gamecocks tangle with the North Carolina -eleven in Kenan Memorial Stadium at Chapel Hill next Saturday. Zobel was poison to Chicago, Virginia, and Maryland, but the Clemson Tigers stopped him. The Tar Heels may do the same. Billy lLaval, former coach of Fur man's Purple Hurricanes; made quite a splash in the Southern Conference with his fast-moving South -Carolina Gamecocks. Clemson jumped in and took the 'Cocks for a ride, and Coach ' Chuck f Collins ,ia grooming his'f Tar Heel eleven to do the same stunt when the two Carolinas hook up in Kenan Memorial Stadium next Satur day, . Billy Laval will take 'one of the season's most colorful teams to the Kenan Memorial Stadium at the Uni versity of North Carolina next Sat urday when his South Carolina Game cocks lock horns with the' Tar Heels in the annual "Battle of the Caro linas." The Gamecocks attained Ra tional fame early in the season with a 6 to 0 upset win over the Univer sity of Chicago on the Maroon's home field. Statistics of ' past games show that the University of North Carolina elevens have won an even dozen games from the Gamecocks of South Carolina since 1903. During the same time ..the Tar Heels have only lost only two games and tied a pair. In actual scoring the Tar Heels lead with, 236 points against a scant 46 counted by the Palmetto State .teams. They meet again next Saturday at Chapel Hill.- TEE GAMMAS' NEXT SATURDAY South Carolina Slated to Have Slight Edge on Tar Heels. The annual "Battle of the Caro linas" is carded for Kenan Memorial Stadium here next Saturday, after noon with the Tar Heels renewing a quarter of a century of gridiron rivalry with the Gamecocks of the University of South Carolina. The two, teams first met on the gridiron back in 1903, and since that first engagement have battled it out sixteen- times at almost annual inter vals. Of the sixteen .games on the 4 - . books, the Tar Heels have won just an even dozen, while losing two and tying a pair of tough contests. jHistory gives theH Old North State the ,edge; for, in addition to the over whelming margin of .games won and lost, the Tar Heels have scored -236 points against 46 counted by their Palmetto ; State rivals. However, most of the South Carolina scoring has been done in recent years, and the game ;now ranks among the . tough tilts on the North Carolina schedule "... r , . V ... .... ... each year, : . - .It took the Gamecocks twenty-one years to win a game, and there were just two tie scraps in. the meantime. The Tar Heels won the first five games by margins of from three to five touchdowns, with South Carolina registering her first score in the 27 to 6 game of 1810. The first of two tied battles, came in 1912 when each team pushed over one touchdown, but the Tar Heels won in 1813 and 1914, with the latter victory counting a 48 to 0 margin. It was the last meeting until after the World War. Since the War North Carolina has won five, lost two and tied one game. Those figures show the series waxing warmer. The games themselves show the same tendency, and most of them have been close and hard-fought. Even the 'famous Tar Heels! of 1922, undefeated winners of the South Atlantic title, barely nosed out the Gamecocks 10 to 7 in a game featur ed by Snipes' 67 yard run for South Carolina. ' .: . Last year the Gamecocks won 14 to .6 in Columbia, but the year before that T.om Young sprinted 70 yards with . . a fumble punt to ;gSve North Carolina ah; upset victory. Three years ago : "tVild Bill" Dodderer re covered a blocked kick -and ran 20 yards for a North Carolina touch down and a 6 to 0 win.
