  South Carolina Scares West Virginia Eleven But Bows, IS 10 Il MORGANTOWN, w. Va, Oct. 80. West Virginia University literally poured on the power in q second half drive today to wallop South Carolina, 35–⁠12, before $4,000 home coming fans. The touchdowns did not start coming, however, until after the Gamecocks had given the Mountain GERS q thorough scare in the first two periods. This was due primarily to the accurate right arm of Quarterback Harold Hagan, who steered South Carolina to a 60 halftime lead. Then Jimmy Walthall, passing ace of the Mountaineers, got his game working in the third quarter and the West Virginians-aided some what by South Carolina fumblesmarked up three touchdowns. West Virginia added couple more in the last quarter while the Gamecocks could pick up only one. Hagan kept the Mountaineers in a lot of misery during the first half, but the South Carolina attack was solved early in the third period. In contrast, Walthall and his crew couldn’t get going at all in the first two periods. Most of the time the Gamecocks could do little with the West Virginia line, and their best showing was in the air. The homecominge crowd was one Of the largest in Mountaineer field history.
