" South Carolina Due to Boast of Two Formidable Foot Ball Teams This Fall STATE UL, CLEMSON LIKE THE OUTLOOK Both Have New Coaches and Possess Material for Good Elevens. BY H. C. BYRD. OWN in South Carolina, in two schools, University of South Carolina and Clemson Col- loge. exists more optimism over foot ball prospects than has ever been noted in any previous ear. % Whatever may be the feeling in the next two months, right now those in charge of athletics are expecting great things. And, incidentally, the game in which these colleges meet is the big game for both, and it may come about that two cf the strongest teams in the whole section will face in that game. Both schools have new coaches, Billy Laval at South Carolina and Josh Cody 8t Clemson. This really is Cody’s sec- ond vear at Clemson, but it is the first in which he has had a real opportunity to show what he can do. Cody was essistant to Dan McGugin at Vander- Dbefore going to Clemson, and Laval was head coach at Furman for sev- eral years. Driver Is Optimistic. Jimmy Driver, head of athletics at South Carolina, has this to say about his_prospects: “We will have a good backfield com- posed of good punters, passers and broken-field runners. Our line will be fairly heavy and very fast. In ad- dition to our prospects from the varsity squad of 1927, which was far stronger than its record indicated, and the ma- terial from the freshman team, we have Back Wimberly, a 175-pound halfback, who vear beforc last was one of the greatest runners in the South and who, in my opinion, is an unsually fine back and will greatly strengthen the team. “We have great confidence in Laval as a coach. We held about seven weeks of Spring practice, which was very sat- Ilsfactory. We are not going to make any claims for an exceptionally great team. | sut really believe we will come through.” Cody at Clemson. Over at Clemson, South Carolina’s greatest rival, Cody is working with what he considers 3 good squad. Here Is his general opinion of the situation: ‘Our prospects are a good deal better than a year ago. While we have a much harder schedule and a good deal of traveling, the outlook for winning is far better. I feel that we have an even chance with any team on our schedule this Fall, and among others we meet Auburn, North Carolina State, Scuth Carolina, Mississippl, Virginia Military Institute and Florida.” No doubt in Wimberly and Cooper, South Carolina has two of the best backs in the South. It is doubtful if any school has two better men behind 1ts'line. Some schools have a man bet- ter than either of these, but for two men they are not surpassed. Other good backs from last year's varsity are Zobel, Meltor. and Joyner. The line will be picke from Guerino, Wolf, Rogers, R. Stoddard and H. Stoddard, Graham, Derrick and Joye. From the Freshman squad come several promising backs, and the best of them are Beall, Matheny, Boineau, Eddens, Blount, Don- elan. The best of the Freshman line- men are Shand, Leardo, Williams, Gres- sette, Thomas, Wxnnrd'lpd ‘Mayfield. Tas Peculiar Season.

Out at Brookland the C. U. gridiron- ers plan to start heavy drills tomorrow, | though the squad numbers only 22, and f no scrimmage is likely until more men are at hand. George Washington is getting in_as many licks as possible with its limited squad. Maryland's | candidates are now holding two sessions | a day. Oscar Gerth, regular end last year: | Ted Howe, a Brookland, D. C. youth, who appears a promising guard candi- date, and Laign, a Baltimore product, scaling 180, who will bid for a line job, are among notable recent additions to | the Catholic U. squad. Coach Mc- | Auliffe_says that quite a number of | boys who will later join the squad are reluctant to give up Summer jobs until the last horn blows. B McAuliffe’s big problem is to develop | a capable line. He apepars to have material for a sturdy backfield. | 1t apnears that George Washington | University will again this year be| beat the two teams that defeat- uads Putting on Home Fields handicapped on the gridiron by lack of sufficient reserve material. =~ Only 18 are in the Colonial squad drilling on the old Georgetown Prep Field, includ- ing just four of the 1927 regulars and only a few members of the Freshmen team of last Fall. When it is consid- ered that G. W. is facing the hardest foot ball schedule in its history and the first game is only two weeks from Saturday it is plain that Head Coach H, n (Maud) Crum and his as- sistant. Nate Weinstock. former W ern Maryland star, have a hard row to hoe if they would develop a win- ning eleven. Crum has charge of the backfield talent and Weinstock is coaching the linemen. With a regular scrimmage | impossible with the squad at its present size, running behind interference has constituted the chief work of the backs while the two lines are scrimmaging daily. Dan Eberly and Dick Rollins are | among the most promising new candi- | dates for varsity posts. All the letter men from Maryland's 1927 gridiron squad have now joined tha Old Liners practicing at College Park. Snitz Snyder, 180-pound halfback | completed the a of “M" men and the squad now numbers 31. el ed it rather casily. Such results indi- cate that there was potentially far| greater strength in the squad than was | consistently got out of it. This year South Carolina's sched- | ule opens with Erskine at Columbia on September 22. The next_ Saturday it jumps to Chicago to play University of | Chicago, and the following week, Oc- | tober 6, meets Virginia at Charlottes- | ville. Its next home game is with/ Maryland on October 13 and it also plays Presbyterian College at Columbia the following week. October 25, Thurs- | day of the State Fair at Columbia, at | the fair grounds it plays its biggest game with Clemson. Citadel is to be the opponent at Orangeburg Novem- ber 1, North Carolina at Chapel Hill November 10, Furman at Columbia No- | vember 17 and North Carolina State at Raleigh Thanksgiving day. | New Material Good. Clemson last year developed some good players on its varsity, but it is| from its freshman squad of 1927 that it expects to draw some really good ma- terial for its varsity, and it is on the bases his statement that he thinks his team has an even chance to win any game it plays. The Clemson freshman eleven was not der'!eu?tg: :;stc sells‘on. winning from Geo: ul arolina, . Wofford and Presbyterian College. Four men have come up from the freshman squad on whom Cody is counting as certain regulars. Especially is he putting great store by Justus, a back, who, Cody says, is “the fastest back here and is a wonderful defensive player.” The other three men are Flem- ing, an end; Solomon, tackle, and Mul- herin, quarterback. Cody says of Mul- herin, “He is a great field general, a | smart defensive player, a good passer, and a fair punter.” Cody also has a mighty high opinion of Pressley, his captain and center, who “I consider is| one of the best centers, if not the best center, in the Southern Conference. Last year he did not face a center his equal, and this Fall should have his best season.” Clemson also opens its schedule Sep- tember 22, having & game with New- berry on that date. The last Saturday in the month it faces Davidson at Clem- son and the first Saturday in October meéts Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn. _ October 12 it plays North Carolina State; October 19, Erskine; Oc- tober 25, South Carolina; November 3, Mississippi; November 10, Virginia Mili- tary Institute; November 17, Florida; November 29, Furman and December 8, Citadel.

Logan will not return to school. Brashears has transferred to Massachusetts Tech and McDonald will not continue foot ball, though he will stay at Maryland. Head Coach Curley Byrd has not yet picked a tentative varsity and is not apt to do so until next weck. TIP FOR FISHERMEN. HARPERS FERRY, W. Va.

They included Bob Fifer; former Rhode Island schoolboy McGugin’s Pass Punt Formation BY SOL METZGER. Vanderbilt's team will miss Bill Spears, its peerless 1927 quarter- back, during the coming season, but there can be no doubt that Coach Dan McGugin will produce another eleven of as great strength as he has rarely failed to do in his 23 years of service there. McGugin, by the bye, was first to use the forward pass in the South. In fact, Dan's conceptions of this play have been one of the main rea- sons why his teams have always ranked well. One of his pet passes is shown above—the one from “Peck” Owen, No. 2, to Spears, No. 1, pulled from punt formation. It helped a lot in running up scores against strong opponents last Fall, and will be a dependence in the attack again. No. 2, fullback, gets the ball from center and starts on a right-end run. Both guards come out to block, the left protecting from the rear. Backs 3 and 4 block. Both ends go down as indicated, the right end straight, the left bending to his left to clear that territory. Spears, No. 1, starts at top speed, as though to go wide. That pulls the defensive fullback over. Spears next turns in at an "acute angle, thus shaking the defensive full, and breaks into open territory, where he took the pass. You can't win foot ball games by abusing the stomach.
