OUTSLUGS CAROLINA TEAM (Continued from page Six) on a decision to Ed Kostainsek of the Ninvaders. Gettys, though outweighed and smaller than the Virginian boxer, put up a game fight, but could do no harm to him. In the unlimited division "Cowboy" Urquhart of Carolina lost the final arid deciding bout to Roy Dunn of V. M. I. After being knocked down twice in the first round, the cowboy put up one of the gamest fights of the match against his more skillful opponent. Urquhart seemed to he rubber as he went down to the canvas but bounced back again to the fight, and was on his feet as the second threw in the towel. This was the last meet of the season for Carolina. The team won three matches and lost three, having been undefeated in the State.
