tended the game at Clinton las, year
have uot forgotten how, in the last
minute or two Of play, Ralph Baker
carried the ball across the Pr"sby-
terian goal line for the winning touch
down. This year again it will be a
battle to the finish, in which the VIC
tory will not be conceded by either
team until the time-keepers announce
the end of the second half. The two
elevens are we'll matched, in weight
and skill. each having won from Wof-
ford and Erskine, and both having
fallen victims to the Citadel Bull
Dogs At the helm of the team from
Clinton is Johnson, who coached them
last year, while Jimmie Driver, of
Virginia. has piloted the local collie
gians through what has been thus far

ior who, in his first year in football
has PLAYED wonderfully we'll, and Gail
lard, local boy who has made good;

effect. The backfeld is a power in
itself, including Dellmin, as brilliant
and heady a team mentor as South

stepper and broken field runner;
Kennedy. with his mighty puntlng
toe: Captain Gotschall. the Old rell-
