That Georgetown's next opponent,
South Carolina, may be far from
the cinch expected is indicated by
quiet investigations in the South
land into the personnel Of the Pal
metto eelven. Instead of being the
weak team that Harry Costello
coached in 1914, South Carolina ap-
pears to have found number OF
experienced players who have shown
to good advantage all season. Ac-
cording to the authorities at North
Carolina A. and NJ, the Palmetto
team had to dispose of several play
ers as a result of an investigation
following it's victory over the Ag-
gies.
South Carolina battled Clemson to
a no-score tie and Davidson imme-
diately cancelled its game with the
Carolina eleven because of the pres
ence of several players in the line
up. A few Of the protested athletes
did not get into the Virginia game
Saturday, but others did, and it is
rumored that they will all be on
hand next Saturday at the Hilltop.
