BIRD: BOXING BOUTS COME TO CLOSE * HEAVY SCRAP FEATURES Winners of First and Second Places Awarded Medals in Intramural Tourney Reaching a grand climax in a furious heavyweight scrap, the intramural boxing tournament came to a close Monday night after interest had been worked up to the melting point. Starting slowly with the first eliminations, the fights continued to grow better and better and the finals were fought before a very large crowd almost filling the huge field house. Signs of a scrappy evening began to appear when Billy Mullins, diminutive flyweight won a fast encounter with a technical K.O. over Creech in the first round. In the bantam weight division, Duncan, 119, won a hard fought scrap over Calhoun Lemon, 116. Although at-a disadvantage because of his opponents longer reach, Lemon put up a nervy battle but was clearly outclassed. The fireworks began to flare up anew in the featherweight match. Monk Farnam, 128, lost to Rivers in the second round on a technical K.O. after start ing the first round in whirlwind fashion the curly headed Farnam took a few well-placed blows on the chin and the more experienced Rivers had him out on his feet when the referee stopped the fight. Billy Humphlett, lightweight, again made height and reach tell when he took a three round decision from the scrappy Billy Bull. Outweighed two pounds and noticeably shorter than his adversary Bull used rushing tactics with his head bowed but Humphlett fought a headsup scientific fight and the aggressive Bull could not get inside his defense. Stubbornly contesting the match for two rounds, Ham Brooks wilted in the third and Cliff Browv took the decision in the welterweight class. Brown's experience was a great aid against Brooks' man-killing right and his continued punching outclassed Brooks. Grayson Wolfe, brother of the great Harry, won the middleweigltt medal when McCutchen was forced to forfeit because of abscessed ear. Blows began to take on powerful appearance in the light heavy match, when Henry Willard took a three-round decision from the scrapping Kirk Finlay. Hitting at will Willard took his time and warded off Finlay's rushes and then laid blow after blow on his opponent's came back strong in the second counter. Only a few good licks were passed in the chin, seemingly to no avail as Finlay round, both fighters saving for the last. Willard rushed Finlay in the last round and punched him at random taking the decision on points. The heavyweight fracas was the treat of the evening.

Meeting Clemson, Wofford, Furman and Erskine on successive days, the Birdmen played superb tennis to whip the quartet and keep its season record unblemished. Taking on Clemson Wednesday, April 15, the Birds took the meet six matches to one. The only Tiger win was" Crurn's loss to Howard, 6-2, 6-1, the same scores by which he lost in the meet here. Holman and Lipscomb put on the show of the afternoon, playing excellent tennis. The Birds swept the Wofford Methodists to defeat to the tune of 7-0. The Carolina doubles teams came through to hit their stride and defeated the Wofford doubles teams, 6-0, 6-0 and 6-0, 6-0. The feature of the match was Foster's win from Harper. Two years ago with the sets one all, Foster had Harper 5-1 on the third and deciding set and carelessly dropped his serve after reaching 40love and set point. Harper then came back to win. This was repeated with the roles reversed in the meet, Harper losing to Foster after reaching 40-love on the set point and game. The Birds tripped Furman, 4-3 Friday, when Holman got out of a sick bed to win the deciding singles match, 6-3, 6-1. Erskine fell before the roosters Saturday morning, 6-1, the second doubles match being called on account of rain. The Birds have now whipped every State team except Citadel whom they meet May 2. NEWBERRY BOWS TO ROOSTERS, 6-3 Batting Addy, Newberry pitcher from the mound in the second inning when they pushed over five runs, the Bird baseball team continued its way unabated to take its seventh straight game of the season, 6-3. With the score knotted at one all the Gamecocks opened up a vicious batting attack to put over five runs and to put the game on ice. Epting, Newberry's righthanded ace went in then and held the Birds to four hits and no scores in the remaining seven innings, while the Indians tallied two more, one in the fourth and one in the seventh, but were held in check by the masterful twirling of Bill Brigham. Vaughn, Harley and Brigham led the Bird attack with two hits each while Laval and Harley drove in two runs each. Ten men whiffed before the speed of Brigham while six Birds fanned before the combined offerings of Addy and Epting.

Page Seven N IN E ch First fessional Team Poliakoff, Brigham or Ouzts to Hurl Second, Saturday Against Palmeeto Leaguers The fast .traveling Bird baseball squad will take on the Florence professional team of the Palmetto League in Florence in two games to be played Friday and Saturday. Florence is managed by Frank Walker, former Greenville manager and New York Giant outfielder. Most of the players arc recruited from the youngsters on the roster of the Atlanta Crackers. Among the more prominent is Cummings, leftfielder and a former Vanderbilt star. Benny Rothstein, great defensive fullback for the University of Georgia, is playing a whale of a game for the Pedeeans at first. Florence has several veterans as pitchers. Grayson Wolfe will pitch one game for Carolina while the pitcher for the other may be Lefty Poliakoff, or either Ouzts or Brigham may be used. In a pinch Lefty Blair or Bill Harley could ascend the hillock and do a creditable performance. BIRDS DEFEAT BULLDOGS AGAIN Score Second Game 20-7 Battering four Bulldog pitchers for 19 hits and 20 runs, the powerful baseball aggregation of the University of South Carolina easily trampled the Citadel in Charleston yesterday. Nine Citadel errors were instrumental in helping the Birds pile up such a large score. The Cadets scored 7 runs. Poliakoff, recruit southpaw, made his debut and seven hits were combed off his delivery in four innings. Brigham held the Cadets to three hits in four innings. However, Poliakoff, despite his alleged tendency to wildness, issued only one base on balls. Bill Harley led the Bird batters with four hits, which included two doubles. He also scored three runs, as did Laval. Richards scored four runs in the four innings he played. Boineau, Vaughn, and Kdens each made three hits while Brigham and Laval garnered two each.
