CONTEST IN FIELD HOUSE
Chandler and White by Full
Team Support Do Excel
lent Work
Behind the superb floor work of Chan
dler and the uncanny goal shooting of
White, the Gamecocks Wednesday night
deci,sjvely trounced Wofford College
42--24.
Neither team garnered many points
during the first five minutes of play.
Both had numerous opportunities to
ring baskets but most of the shots fell
short of the hoop.
The Carolina five settled down, just
before the half ended, to a dizzy pace
which literally swept Wofford off her
feet.
Wofford first broke into the score
column when King made a free shot,
White, retaliated with a field goal from
the side of the court. Harper for Woi
ford rung a snow bird a few seconds
later. After a few minutes of play
characterized 1)y close guarding on both
sides, Windus put the Birds ahead, 4
to 3. From this point the Gamecocks
were never headed. Wofford dropped
further and further behind as the Birds
rang basket after basket with monoto
nous rapidity.
White was the outstanding bucket
tosser of the evening. He, alone, Lath
ered as many points as the whole Wof
ford team.
Chandler, the speed merchant of the
team, showed his deftness and speed to
good advantage. His floprwork was
excellent.
Captain Dargan at guard for the vis
itors kept his team-mates in there fight
ing... Though big, this man is fast and
kept the Birds worried throughout.
King and Harper, Terrior Forwards,
could never display any real shooting
ability due to close guarding.
- Wofford had a scrappy little team
Which fought hard throughout.
Carolina showed a complete reversal
of form that of the holiday jaunt.
They seem to have a winning combina
tion which, no doubt, will quite a few
games this year.

Boxing Team Looking
Towards Tar Heels
Carolina Pugilist. Point For
Bout With Sou. Conference
Champ.
Coach Jack Allison, after his team's
excellent showing against the Presby
terian College fighters, is now pointing
his men towards the next bout, which
will be with the Tar Heels of the Uni
versity of North Carolina. The match
will take place in Columbia, on Satur
day, January 19.
North Carolina won the champion
ship of the Southern Conference last
year, and it is reported that thlis year's
aggregation is equal to that of last.
Hence, an exciting bout for Saturday
night Is aasnur
The Fog
THE BIRDS, in making it three in a
row, showed a complete reversal of
form since the holi-jaunt. Citadel's
bulldog, which is a tough anim;J
overcome on its home court, final
ly checked the Gamecocks' winning
streak.
THE QUINTET has shown steady im
provement with each game and,
apparently, has struck its winning
stride. A few more wins and the
Gamecocks will occupy the top
rung.
ALTHOUGH FIVE defeats were suf
fered on the holiday trip, it must
be recalled that the teams played
conference leaders and were met
on their home courts. The Jewish
Progressive Club was the only non
conference team played.
SUCCESSIVE VICTORIES over P.
C., Wofford and College of Char
leston place the Gamecocks around
the top in the race for ol' state
banner. The Citadel is the only
undefeated team in the state, due
to their many early season "home
games."
LOU WHITE, star center for the
Carolina quintet, is setting a fast
pace for his teammates. This
rangy performer has been tossing
baskets from all angles and is the
high-point man of the team
Chandler is also coming through
with the goods.
CAROLINA'S NEXT home game will
be played with the Clemson Tigers
who come to Columbia for a drub
bing Tuesday next (Jan. 15th).
This should be a heated affair
since the ardor of ol'rivalry hasn't
cooled much.
THE JUNGALEERS have lost but
one state game, that being to Er
skine who boasts a strong aggre
gation this season. Clemson claims
two victories over the University
of Florida at Gainesville-the Al
ligators must he weak this year.
FOLLOWING THE Gamecock-Tiger
cager contest, the Birds will make
a trip to the Tarheel state meetiig
Duke, University of N. C. and
N. C. State in successive nights.
The University of N. C. will be
met in a return game in Columbia
January 26th.
CAROLINA'S BOXING team got off
to a good start last Friday night by
her overwhelming victory over the
P. C. maulers. The Blue Sox
battlers were unable to cope with
the hard-hitting Gamecocks who
cap)tured six out of seven natches.
THE BIRD BATTLERS appear to be
much stronger this year than last,
in that the members of the squad
seemn more willing to "trade blow
for blow" than the 1928 outfit.
NO SCIENTIFIC prancing around the
squared ring was witnessed in any
of the fistic exchanges last Friday
night. Each fighter met his op..
ponent in a slugging "toe to toe"
mixup.

naries to the final gong of the evening
the crowd was in an uproar approvin
the fighting ability and spirit of give
and take that were apparent in the
members of both collegiate outfits. The
fact that there were four technica'
knockouts during the evening shows
that no time was given to "stalling."
Th~e preliminary consisted of a match
between two University freshmen.
Percy Petit of Charleston and Tedo
Quattlebaum of Columbia. This match
resulting in a draw, was an indication
of the exciting bouts that soon follow
ed.
Carolina won six out of the seven
bouts, four of them being by techni
cal knockouts. P. C.'s victory came
in the bantamweight class by the de
cision route. However, this does not
indicate that the bouts were one
sided, for the Clinton men, although
often outweighed, put up a game fight
throt-ghout.
A review of the seven main bouts is
as follows:
Bantamweight
Truesdell (Presbyterian), weight 119,
won judges' decision over West (Caro
lina), weight 115.
The first round was fought practi
cally on even terms, with West on the
offensive throughout. Truesdell show
ed up well as a defensive boxer, and
frequently stopped West's attacks with
clean blows to the body and face. Dur
ing the second round, West slowed up,
and in the third was knocked to the
canvas. This was P. C.'s only vic
tory.
Featherweight
Lumeiansky (Carolina), weight 127,
won judge's'dlecision over Perry (Pres
byterian), weight 122.
This bout furnished some interesting
and thrilling boxing. Lumiansky's
habit of dodging tmnder his opponent's
blows proved Perry's undoing, and
lumiansky earned a welt deserved de
cision.
Welterweight
Thornton (Carolina), weight 147,
won a technical knockout in the third
roundl over Ferrene (Presbyterian),
weight 141.
In the first round, Thornton was the
master of the situation. In the sec
ond, however, Ferrene made a come
back but in the third Thornton's
strength again returned, and he soon
had his opponent at his mercy.
Middleweight
Leardo (Carolina), weight 163, won
a technical knockout in the third round
over Wood (Presbyterian) weight 144.
This was probably the hardest
fought scrap of the evening. Both
men exchanged countless punches to
the body and face. Leardo, because
of his superior endurance, won a tech-,
nical knockout in the third round.
Lightweight
Lonsford (Carolina) weight 133 won,

entered the game late and shot three
field goals in rapid succession to put
the cadets in front, a lead that was main
tained the remainder of the contest. Cap
sin Chandler, for the birds, was the
.nutstanding performer ringing up
twelve points. His floor work was ex
cellent and seemed to be able to find
the basket from all angles of the floor.
White, at center and Windus, at guard,
also did excellent work for the Game
cocks.
Carolina outscored the cadets in the
first half and at the end of the half were
in the lead by a 19 to 16 score. The cad
ets gave an excellent exhibition of floor
work but were unable to find the bas
ket. On the other hand, Carolina seem
ed able to locate the basket but experienc
ed trouble in advancing the ball down the
court.
The Bulldogs rallied just after the
second period began, but the Birds came
back and regained the lead. George
Weeks, who performed beautifully in
floor work for the cadets was ejected
from the game after the fourth personal
foul and was replaced by Dwight.
Near the close of the game Carolina
was in the lead 29 to 25, bnt Dwight put
the cadets in front with three neatly
tossed field goals. The Birds then made~
the score 36 to 38. coming within two
points of thle Bulldogs, but Citadel stag

Jack Crawford, in charge of the ac

Due to nearness of the mid-year ex
aminations, intra-mural football has
been officially discontinued. How
ever, any teams that are organized and
wish to play may do so.
