Baseball, Track, Tennis, Gym and Boxing are all being boosted by the changes. Track, in expectation of Carolina's several hundred guests this spring, is being given especial attention. The racing course on Davis has been cin dered and gotten into excellent shape. The pit for junpir.g and vaulting events has been dug and filled with sawdust. The Gamecock track men began prac ticing in this new pit last Wednesday. A field with accessories for the co ed track team is a new thing on the campus. There will be built a straight course and jumping pit in front of the infirmary. This was necessary since three track teams are already work ing on Davis Field. In getting ready for the baseball season, Marshal Cantey has moved the football stands around and laid off the field as it tvas last year. Carolina's 12 tennis courts have been swept and otherwise prepared for spring playing. With constant use they should soon become as good as any in the state, it is believed. Within the gymnasium, an eight foot boxing ring has been put up. It is a regulation one and Allison's pu pils can now slug without having to fall over benches. Mr. VanMetre, phy sical director, has also put up two strange devices over the door of the gym which, he says, are to hold up the flying rings. The rings last year were suspended from the ceiling. hampionship -leston Bantams it Game to Win Fifth Consecutive ionship Title in the running thus long was removed from the game and then Burn, famous running guard also was chalked up with the limit in fouls and had to leave the floor. It was then that Gunn and Moorer pulled the rescue stunt. Gunn, who substituted for Vcbber started going like great guns and soon pulled the B3antamis ahad. With five seconds te play, the Charlestonians ran in an cntire teaum of sub)stitutes who kept the crown'i safe.
