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

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

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

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.

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

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.-

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.
