SOUTH CAROLINA TO
PLAY DISPUTED MEN
IN HILLTOP COMBAT.
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

South Carolina has taken advant-
age of conditions at Georgetown,
and will play several men here to-
morrow who were kept on the side
lines last week when the Palmetto
eleven faced Virginia at Columbia,
s. C. The Hilltoppers have but
three home contests on the 1915
schedule, and can hardly risk hav-
ing one cancelled at the final mo-
ment. Knowing this, South Caro-
lima insists on playing those four
stars who failed to get into the Vir-
ginia combat.
Georgetown cannot very we'll
see why these players should be in
eligible to play Virginia." says Man
ager Billy Butler, "and eligible to
play US. But that's the way South
Carolina puts it up to US. Rather
than disappoint our followers, we
have agreed to play these ineligibles,
and SO I suppose they'll be in the
lineup Of the visiting team tomor-
row."
When Virginia went down to Column
bia It was hinted to the Palmetto au-
thorities that 1t would be well to keep
pertain players out OF the game. II any
further contests with the Orange and
Blue were to be expected. No real pro-
test was entered. but the players in
question did not face Virginia. They
will face the Hilltoppers. though.

was q bit fuky. Allowing the visitors
to use all their men means that South
Carolina will be much stronger than

Georgetown and the Charlottesville
eleven.

''Botchy" Barron. Georgetown's cap

his last game on the home gridiron
tomorrow. He has been one OF the star

Barron is the only first-string player at
the Hilltop to be unavailable for 1918.
II has been found that Red" Cusack.

on the varsity in 1913. This makes him
eligible for another season and s1so
makes him a formidable candidate for
the captaincy. Cusack has become one
of the best ends ever seen at George

team mates is expected to result in his
election to the leadership Of the 1916
football team.
