the Carolina Gamecocks to a 13 to 13

altogether unexpected strength shown
by NewOerry places that institution,
which only last year began its foot
ball career in definite running for
state championship honors and on a
par with the ,eams oil this section.
With three minutes to play in the
last period and the ball in Cardinals
possession on Newberry's 30-yard line,
Swanton intercepted a forward pass
with clear field before nim and ran
for touchdown, tying the score Ba-
ker missed an easy goal, with the
victory in his grasp.

started off with a rush and by jaDs
at Newberry's line coupled wita short
END runs carried tie ball to the 20
yard line, where they were forced to
kick. McLain brought UP the kick %
yards and gave Carolina hair-raising
scare by almost getting iree of the en-
tire field. Shortly after Langston got
away for 40 yards. Hard line plunges
by Kerr and Edwards finally pushed
the bali to Newberry's one-yard line
and there it stopped. Four times Kerr
smashed at the red line and the fourth
time the ball was, still on that line.
Ashbaugh punted outside on the 30
yard line. Carolina, after some small
successes, was stopped and Newberry
recovered the ball. Here the red
jerseyed team showed it's first fash
Oh form and began a swift advance
down the field, ending with broken
field run by R. Baker for the first
touchdown of the game. Goal was
kicked and the scoring was over for
the first half alti ough both teams
later threatened.
Second Half.
Carolina kicked off to Newberry in
the opening of the second half and the
ball was returned Is yards. A bril-
liant succession of forward passes to-
gether WITH end runs by Swanton and
Baker placed Newberry again in
striking distance of the goal, Swan
ton attempted a field goal but failed.
Carolina then took the ball IS yards
from her own goal and by continued
hammering at the Lutheran line and
short end dashes by Edwards and
Langston moved the ball to midfeld.
Here amid the tumultuous cheering of
the Carolina roofing section Dan Hey

featured every Carolina game last
year and 1912 went Tor Goings. The
team got down to serious business inn
mediately and in a few plays had the
ball on Newberry's 10-yard line. After
several trials, long forward pass to
Brooker carried the ball over the line
for the first Carolina touchdown. Goal
was missed.
The second touchdown came in
much the same way as the first, this
time long pass to FAINT carrying the
ball over. Porter kicked goal.

ed forward pass from Harth went
sQuarely into the arms of big Swan
ton and ne was away for a touch
down with a clear field. Harth gave
him a hard stern chase but the big
fellow crossed the line safely tieing
the score for NeWberry. Baker miss
