 Red-haired Smith a Star. {,
 The first half was all ,Cumberland's and during that half and all through the game: comberIand,s ,ls.II big centre seT, was the might wears red hair on his head. Incl- dentally his name is Smith. He was dubbed Red by the spectators. who good-natured, and when not playing football like fiend he was laughing and chafiing with the side liners.
 | Although he was in every play, Smith didn't lose an ounce of wind. and was able at all times to knock people about like ten pins. Centre is usually no show pace on footbal team. The man in that there are always three men of either side between him and the spectators. That didn't seem to worry Smith in the least. center formation of his opponents, he was playing end, extra, bracing the line, or anything that he thought was wise to do just at that particular moment.
 Time and again Clemsons offense crashed through the Cumberland line and gain of fifteen or twenty yards seemed inevitable. But these. gains were almost invariably cut short by an unseen force and when the scrimmage arose, Smith was there. With his red head symbolizing the plume of the Laneasters, Smith was to be seen hugging the man with the ball.
 Smiser Weak Point.
 Cumberland's weak point was undeni- ably In Smiser, quarterback. He handled breaking to the Cumberland sympathiz- CTS and on both occasions, when the Clemson backs got clear fields, although he had plenty of opportunity to cut % ofE l of the runners and left the stopping of them to some fleet-footed Cumberlander or the fence behind the goal posts,
 Cumberland had two splendid chances to score in the last half. At one time the terrific buclxing had carried them well out of the checkerboard and on Clem' defence held firm Bridges was com pelled to kick. Directly in front of the goal posts he attempted place Kick . The high wind, however: veered the bal and it passed only few inches from

Picking himself up he . sprinted down the field after the giant 2 fugitive and although Bridges turned tC . stiff-arm the little fellow, the quarter back fastened his arms around the big ankles of the 2O0-pounder and he fell like an oak on Clemsons ten-yard line. Clem- son then bracek and took the ball on Q tumble and Cumberland's last chance to score had disappeared into thin air.
 l The most sensational thing ever seen or a Montgomery football field. however, was the run of Quarterback Maxwell which gave Clemson its first score.
