Siegel Defeats DeVaugiin A crippled band of Gamecocks, by taking the first four bouts of the evening, sent the Clemson mittmcn home, Saturday night, on the short end of a 4 to 3 score. Tommy" Scott, veteran bantamweight, started the evening's bouts by taking a decision from Lide of Clemson. Scott was the aggressor during the entire fight and repeatedly scorcd point-making blows. In the featherweight division "Jimmy" Brailsford outboxed, outfought, and outpunched Moore, of the Jungaleers. Brailsford used his right to good advantage and repeatedly snapped back his opponent's head with it. Seldom missing a lead, Brailsford turned in the best performance of the evening. Captain "Red" Watts, fighting under the handicap of a badly injured thumb added another victory to his list by defeating Sloan of Clemson. Both men fv DAIRIES A" Milk in S. C.

As a result the solons hope to minimize or even abolish the football casualty list. They have tried to leave the thrill of the game without its dangers and it remains to be seen whether the new rulings will alter the great American sport beyond recognition. The most important of the new rulings is the restriction of the possibility of the flying wedge, so dangerous to the players. The rule now states that five men of the receiving side shall be on the 45-yard line and that the kick can be a punt, place-kick or drop-kick. This, of course, gives the defense a chance to get the ball high into the air and allow the defenders time to get down to the receiver. The Dead Ball Ruling Equally as important is the rule making the ball "dead" when any part of the carrier's body except his hands or feet touches the ground. This rule prevents crawling after the tackle and the often injurious piling-up that results. This will stop many of the long runs of the "Clary type," since the spectacular elusion of the tacklers after a fall is abolished. Runners of the line-smashing type will aid materially by this law. It should be a great help to Coach Laval's linesmashing full-back, Captain Freeman and Dick Shinn but will probably hinder Clary and Wolf, though not to a great extent. The flying block has been abolished, it being illegal for the blocker or tackier to leave his feet except at the moment of contact with the opposing player. This is especially helpful to the forward passer, the 5-yard penalty for this offense being taken from the preceding down. A rigid rule concerning use of hands on the neck was enacted with a penalty of half the distance to the goal made for offenders. Two less important changes were liberalization of substitutions allowing re-entry of a player to the game in any subsequent period after being taken out and a new regulation making softer padded equipment necessary. The Freshmen Wonders Sinking 550 points in eleven victories the undefeated Frosh basketeers arc far and away the best team this state has seen in action in years. These wonders of the court have an average of exactly 50% points per game and their opponents show a percentage of 21 and a fraction for the eleven games. Freddie Tompkins holds the high scoring honors for the state easily and probably set some kind of a record for college individual scoring per game. Wottaman! wottateam! U. 8.

Johnny Scott, newly-developed welter, defeated Bannister, Clemson's welterweight in the forth straight Bird win, Scott held an advantage during the first two rounds that the Clemson battler could not overcome. Cannon of Clemson and McCravy of Carolina fought a slow, Cannon receiving the verdict. The decision was fairly close a9 neither fighter displayed a punch powerful enough to clinch the bout. Only the aggravation of an injured ankle kept Henry Willard, Carolina light-heavyweight, from taking his setto with Megginson.

And t Seasi rd At Spc Birds Battle Terriers For Second Place Game May Decide Race Methodists Seek Second Win Over Gamecocks; Norman Takes Whole Squad Up-State Tackling their nearest competitor for the runner-up position in the state race, Carolina meets Wofford tomorrow night in Spartanburg in a game which will pit two of the state's high scorers, Wolf and Bullington, against one another. The Terriers defeated the Birds earlier in the season 25-24 in Columbia and the Carolina quint is out to revenge the one-point licking. Carolina has eight wins and five defeats in the state while Wofiford has seven victories and four losses. The entire squad made the trip with Carolina's probable starting line-up being Wolf, DuPrc.Nevergold, Richards, and Watson. TJ. 8. C.. Frosh Beat Augusta By 75-24 Score Henderson And Two Tompkins Brothers Rout Smaller Georgia Five. Henderson High Scorer Three freshmen aces, the Tompkins brothers and Dana Henderson averaged 25 points each Tuesday night and the Biddie five overwhelmed a smaller quint representing the Augusta Y. M. C. A. tf5-24. Henderson was high scorer with 27 points, Freddie Tompkins following with 24, and Benny was low man of the trio with 23. Vic Laurie shot one point for the remaining Biddie marker. The Biddies' play was as brilliant as any Carolina varsity ever flashed and the remarkable accuracy of the sharpshooters' shots was uncanny. 1 he only threat of the visitors was made when the "Y"- ran up eight points as Coach Laval pulled out the starting five and sent in the second team. u. i. o. Carolina Quint Beats Citadel Birds Again Defeat Cadets By A Fast Start And An Even Faster Final Minute Spurt The Carolina basketball team took a fast game from the Citadel, Wednesday night, 25 to 17. The first half was a closely-guarded affair, there being no scores until four minutes of fast play had elapsed. Citadel chalked up the first marker when Whittington sank a foul shot. The beginning of the second half was a replica of the first period. Both teams played on even terms till the last five minutes when the Carolina basketeers scored 7 points in short order to put the game on ice. ? V. B.

The bout was forfeited to Clcmson, however, when Willard's injury kept *him from answering the bell for the third round. Seigel, Clcmson heavyweight, gained a decision over DeVaughan of Carolina in the final bout of the evening. Seigel was the better boxer of the two men, but failed to land a punch hard enough to put DeVaughan to sleep. The only knockdown of the entire card came in the second round of this fight when Seigel landed a right to the stomach to put DeVaughan down for the count of nine. i Colurr >n Tor ? < irtanburg > Ii High Scorer *v<*: &&&$$"' if :::i<>>:;:;:<":^>:<:>V; v ' "' t Grayson Wolf, Charleston sophomore who holds the state high-scoring position on the courts.

Co-Ed Chatter * By Louise Edwards Co-ed basketball season opens with high enthusiasm on the part of coaches, managers, and players. Large numbers arc coming out for practice, but as yet it is impossible to determine the exact number. Among those seen going to practice are: Mary Toney, Helen Coleman, Mary Ellen McCartha, Motie Purvis, Gertrude Willis, Harriet Toney, Leah Zeigler, Rncia Abercrombie, Evelyn Tubyfill, Margaret Usscry, Mable Brodic, Elizabeth Watson, Ruth Carter, Margaret Stevenson, Frances Walker, Clara Jones, and Margaret Patrick. Managers of the class teams are: Senior, Helen Coleman; junior, Motie Purvis; sophomore, Gertrude Howell; and Elma Westbury, a junior, will manage the freshman team until later in the season when they will elect one of their own class. Captains have not yet been chosen. The seniors have the smallest group going out. Anything, however, that may be lacking in numbers is made up for in fine cooperation. The juniors have outstanding material. The sophs have lost two of their best players this year, but the loss is made up for by some good transfers.

Men Lost To Boxing Squad From Injuries Watts^ And Willard Hurt Undefeated Team Tackles Strong Southern Conference Foe And D. C. Law School Carolina's statc-champion boxing team, undefeated this season, left today for Lexington, Virginia, where they meet the mittmen of V. M. I. tomorrow night and then move to ' Washington, D. C., where they box Columbia University of Law Monday ' night. The two meets will close the Birds schedule for the year. The Birds are cripplcd as a result of injuries suffered in last week's bouts and before. In addition to Henry McManus, 205-pound heavyweight, who was lost after the first match of the season, Henry Willard, veteran lightheavy is out with a sprained ankle aiyl "Red" Watts, hard-hitting lightweight and captain of the team fought Saturday night with handicap of an injured thumb which may keep him froin fighting this week. V. M. I. has one of the strongest ! teams in the Southern Conference and the Birds will probably meet the strongest opposition that they have fought this season. The Cadets have Southern Conference champions and runners-up in three weights and a Bird victory will mean the sending of several Carolina representatives to the , Conference meet at Lexington the last of the month.
