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. Joe Johnson, 205 and

FOUR MATCHES *
GO TO BIRDS
Racqueteers Win Victories Over
Wofford, Clemson, Furman
and Erskine
In a four-day trip through the northern
part of the State, the Gamecock
racqueteers beat their four opponents in
every match that was played.
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.

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.
Batteries for Carolina: Brigham,
Poliakoff and Hicks, Correll. For
C itadel: A. Bookhardt, Eskridgc, Pender,
Brown and league, Parrott.
