minutes of play during which they
threatened to carry the A. & M. team
completely into camp. the Clemson
eleven was totally unable to cope with
the strong local team at the Fair
Ground field yesterday afternoon.
After two hard fought halves of rs
minutes each the final score stood 8
to 0 in favor of the A. & M. one touch
down and goal having been made in
the first and two touchdownS and re-
sulting goal in the second half.
The play was throughout fast and
furious and at times brilliant. The
entire A & NJ. eleven covered itself
with a. glory that makes distinction
odious The end running of the two
Wilson's, however, the line bucking OF
Abernethy, the consistent play of
Gardner, and the work at end or
Gregory cannot be too highly COM
mended.
For Clemson, all her men played fast
and hard bail, her ends tackling high,
however, Holland. her full back, did
grand work until he was repeatedly
hurt. Clemsons players. however,
were rarely able to gain after the first
few minutes and they could not hold
their opponents.
A Large Crowd.
The crowd at the grounds was a
large one Naturally the A. a. Nj. coll
ors predominated but some school
girls from South Carolina waved their
blue and gold colors to the bitter end.
One of these, little blonde with the
very devil of mischief i'm her face ran
the A. & NJ. students near her as wild
with her applause of their opponents
as she did with her saucy beauty.
The play was enough to enthuse ana
it had its natural effect. Time after
time the heavy players crashed into
each other with the impacts of young
bulls in pasture. Energy was used up
like fuel on timbered farm with the
prodigity of youth and Staunch ply
sicue 1t was the last game of the
season and each team played to the
last once.
Hurts were frequent but none of a
serious nature except that OF Gard
ner. of the A. & M, which consisted of
a broken nose. He pluckiiy played tie
game to the end. his blood-Smeared
face giving a realistic touch of the
arena to the contest.
The running of the Wilson's was
magnificent They sped like deer with

1t was a fine game. technically, and
from the standpoint of the spectator.
To the A & NJ. the victory was pc
culiarly sweet, wiDing out as 1t did
bad defeat at the hands of the same
team last year.
Crowding i'm the Field.
The one unpleasant feature of the
day was the old time crowdlng OF
spectators and students on the held.
This practice has obtained for seVeral
years. 1t is the worse thing an Atm
letic Association can be guilty Of IN IT'S
conduct of a ~ome. While no harm
was done yesterday people croWding
on the sidelines is distinctly unfair 70
a visiting team. Hcme-folk may be
thoughtless in this matter but college
students know better. Had the croWo
gone on the field at Chapel Hlil the
other day the A. & NJ would nave
com blamed bitterly No policemen
were provided and no serious effort
made to keep back the crowd Inc
referee and um~'~e have the right IL
penalize the home team in sucn m
stances and they should have done 50.
Encroaching on the sidelines by the
students of a home team is unsports-

The college students marched into
town last nioht. three hundred strong
in jubilation. They cheered and sang
Iand made merry. They had right

The Game in Detail.
A. and NJ. won the toss and chose
the south goal, Clemson kicking off
