DUKE FIGHTERS TAKE CONTEST FROM CAROLINA Craven Wins First Bout-Max Winning Second Bout Ties the Count WOLFE AND KEELS OUT Griffin and Pritchard Substitute to Fight Heavy Trained Men With Harry Wolfe and George Keels off the team, the Duke boxers were able to defeat the Carolina boxing team Tuesday night, four out of the seven bouts. Drufus Griffin and Eddie Pritchard fought in place of the regulars and did unusually well, but they had not even trained for the events and con sequently, they were beaten by their experienced opponents. Every fight of the night was interest ing and scrappy, and though there was not a "single knockout," the fans were well entertained. Gorman came close to registering a knockout over Carper, and once the Duke fighter went to his knees for a count of three, but he summoned enough energy to pull himself up and out up the necessary defense until the round ended. Carolina took the first bout when Craven got the decision over St. Ar mand, but the count was evened when Max outpointed Phillips. The next fight between Doug Kinder ald Smith of the Nicotines was one of the best of the night. Both showed determination and their wiliingness to scrap. They mixed it often, and healthy blows were ex changed between the two. Probably the best bout of all was be tween Dick Pane, voted Carolina's most scientific boxer iast year, and Mallard Warren, captain of the Duke team. Paine gave a beautiful demonstration of foot work, and put up an impenetrateble defense. Timc after time he smashed Warren with hard swings and uppercuts. He was so elusive that his opponent ap peared awkward. Drufus Griffin did well in the first of the fight but his lack of training he came easily discernable as the fight pro gressed. It was )y sheer deternination that he lasted through the fight. Eddie Pritchard was outweighed by Culp by twenty-six pounds. The handicap was too great and, although he started well, in the first round, he weakened in the next. The I)uke team caie favored to win. 6ut the final count was ciose and !efore the last two bouts, Carolina was leading 3 to 2. Thlie crowd of over 2,000 showed their appreciation by rousing applause between rounds and before the fights. The first botut between Craven of Car. r'hna, 117 pounds, andl St. Armnand of the Nicotines, 115 pouniids, was a bloodly affair. Craven lbrought blood soon after the bout opened with a swing to the forehead. Th4 both exchanged blowvs freely, and when Craven cracked St. Armand on the chain, blood began to flow freely. In the last roiundl the Duke hoy camne hack stroing and poundled away at Craven, lbut he had already lost the firs: twvo ronrdls ,,' the decision went to Craven. Max of D)uke tooi k the next hotit b)y defeatt:ng Phidlips of Carolina. Max \veighed 125 pioundls and was out wveighed by his opponenflt by five poundti(s. Both batt.ed desperately and it seemed as though the Carolina boy wouIldl dowvn :he Duke fighter. One judge voted for Max and the other for Phillips. The referee dlecided in facor of Max. K:,rder weighing 136i.5 potunds and Smith 138, of Duke were pretty evenly matched. Th'ley bo0th ucked hormis at the beginning and cont n:uied pondlinug away at each (ither throughiotu: the fight. It seemed as though there would certainly be r.knockout, but both .nai:aged to st'and the gaff. The fight was close, hui: the decision wvent to Smith.

The game Wednesday night was the hottest contest played between the Gamecocks and Tigers in any sort of sport for the past three years. 'Ilwo x tra periods were played before one team could emerge ahead of the other. At the close of the first extra period with victory almost tucked in, Bud Es kew played the same trick as Hol combe, and soored the tieing basket as the period ended. So another period was required to decide the outcome. The second period started with Moi combe making a foul goal. Pritchard who fouled Eskew, was taken from the game, and Esksew made his shot good to tie the score. With less than a minute to play, and the score tied another extra period was looming up, but Woodruff, a Clemson guard siipped down the side line and rung a neat goal to give the Tigers the long end of the score of a thrilling game. Buster Holcombe just simpiy couldn't be stopped. It didn't matter what pos ition lie was in, his shots seemed to al ways count. He was high scorer for the right with 28 points. This is the highest number of points made by any player this season or last, on the field house court. Heinie Fair plAved a nice game and made several tiniely baskets. Monk Clark and Chandler did unusually well oi defense, and played well throughout the game. MicGlone was the outstanding star for the Tigers. The big center was always in the thick of the play and made 11 loints although lie played only a little over Iralf of the game. Bud Eskew also jdayed weil and it was his shot in the extra period that saved the game for the '*igers. his fights heretofore. He charged Pane time after time only to he met with solid blows to the chini or chest. He was never able to land many solid licks, while Pane counteredl freely. The de cision wvent to Pane. Charlie Gorman of Ca rolinma weighing 19 34lounids, kept up his tine work by pou)nd(ing an easy victory over the hard hitt:ing Carper, 15J8 pounds. Carper was gamie and punt up a goodl fight, but he was no0 match for the Carolina boy. Carper had a way (of charging into his ()pIponent, andl on1ce when Gorman sidec Stepped'( him he .fe1 on the ropes tearinig them loose from one sidle of the ring. The dlecision went easily to the lanky Gamecock. Griffin l168, put upi a good fight against Rankin, 170 pounder of Duke. At the e1d (of the first round it appearedl as though he would hold( out good through the fight, but lhe had already splent him sel f, and it was all lhe couldl dI to stick ouit the closing roundl.

'rhe fight was stoppled, atnd a technical knockout given 'to Culp. The figh's were ali goodl and the Duke boys showed that each onie was a clean sport.

The Game cocks ran nick and tuck with the winners until the last few minutes of play, the Virginians broke loose to score the necessary winning mar gin.

S Purple Hurricane Breezes Over Birds FURMAN WINS 41 TO 31 Gibson Plays Star Role-Caro, lina Men Fight Through out Game Carolina lost to the Purple Hurricane Monday night in one of the best games of the year by a score of 41 to 34. It looked like the out come would be dif ferent at one time, but the Furmanites put the game on ice by making some nice shots in the closing minutes. Each man on the Bird quintet fought every minute of the game and it was the same with the Hurricane, only they had one player that stood out decidedly above the rest. This individual star was Gibson. He rung basket after basket in the second period to keep his team in the lead. His all-round playing was the best exhibited here this season. He could race through the whole team to shoot a goal, and if closely guarded, would sink a basket from near the cen ter of the court. The team work of the Garnet and Black was superb, and in the second half with Furman leading 19 to 12, the Birds started a rally that netted them nine p)oints while the Furmanites were bare ly maling one free try, and the score was tied at 20 all. Fair started the scoring by making a foul goal, but Byr ne retalliated wth a like score. Clark rang a basket which was followed with one by Holcombe, then Chandler made a free shot good. Clark made another field basket and the score was tied.

Mike Windus followed him and piayed well. Every man on the Carolina team played jam up ball. Buster Holcombe played a whale of a game and was up to his old tricks again, taking the ball one time from a Furinan boy under the Carolina goal and shooting before he knew where the ball was. Heinie Fair played one of the best games he has ever played, and his shots from the side lines were deadly. Chandler and Clark played excellent defensive ball and were always on their toes.
