 Despite the threatening weather of Wednesday and Thursday morning, the steady rain which had rendered the field more fit for mud pie contest than ball game, and the continued shower, there were present over 5000 enthusiasts wearing the purple and gold and the old gold and white.

Tech tried to gain. failed and then punted and Clemson in three downs made the re- quired distance, then punted and on the run back by Emerson to Tech and q 20- yard run of Roberts of Tech, the ball was brought within ten yards of Clem- sons goal and first down made. Three down, and Clemson had held firm and the ball went over. From that time over it looked Clemson's game all the time. The onlookers expected the game to run up in a big score for the South Caro- llnians in the second half.
 The two touchdowns were made both on fukes. From the middle of the field, Allen of Clemson punted 50 yards to Emerson of Tech, who was downed on his two-yard line. Tech made on try to gain, lost, and then Hill tried to punt from behind the line. Gaston of Clemson blocked the kick and Allen fell on the ball for a touchdown. McFadden kicked a difficult goal, then Tech entered her protest.
 Play resumed, Tech kicked off to Robbs of Clemson, who fumbled, recovered started around right end, and when tackled by Johnson of Tech dropped the ball Tech man falling on it on Clem- sons two-yard line. Luck went over the line for touchdown, but Tech failed to kick goal The rest of the game was without event.
