"We have the best inexperienced team ever put out at Carolina," said Frankie DcMars, coach of the Gamecock mittmen. With only three men from last year and '31, DcMars had to build up his squad from new men. He has much new material which is whipping into shape rapidly. Only a few matches will show the real value of this inexperienced material. DeMars and "Red" Watts, last year's Southern conference lightweight champions have been giving the men their finishing touch since the holidays. I All the men are apparently in good | condition. The heavyweight men were late in coming out, though, due to the men being on the football squad. Both I the present heavyweight men, Henry McManus and Joe Johnson were tackles on the varsity squad this year. | McManus will be used in the match Saturday night. Henry Willard, captain of this year's boxing team, will fight in the light heavyweight division. Willard was an end on the football team the past season. He was one of the leading men on the boxing bunch last year. "Kid" Rivers won a tough battle over Bobby Moore to represent the Gamecocks in the lightweight section. H Rivers is another experienced boxer. Frank Cuthbertson, a fast little boxer will fight in the featherweight. Cuthbertson won the intramural crown last year. Bill Geddings will mix it up with the bantamweight man from P. C. Bill Callahan, winner of the Gittman medal in 1931, will fight in middleweight. Callahan was not out for the team last year due to a burn received in chemistry lab. Bill Humphlett, who drew a decision over John Meadors in a scrappy three round match for the welterweight position for this match. These positions are not per manent but are open for change after the match. Seven preliminary matches have been arranged if our men can be matched. It is yet uncertain as to how many of these minor bouts will be scheduled. Those fighting in such matches are Bobby Moore, Jack Nathans, James ChafTin, John Meadors. Three freshmen boxers will fight in the lighter preliminaries, Andrew Hill, Bryan Wilkinfield and Sid Walter. The men fighting in the main bouts follow: Bill Geddings, bantamweight; Frank Cuthbertson, featherweight; "Kid" Rivers, lightweight; Bill Humphlett, welterweight; Bill Callahan, middleweight; Henry Willard, light heavyweight; and Henry McManus, heavyweight. Coach Johnson at P. C. is bringing one of the brightest arrays of men ever produced at that institute. Coach DeMars said "there is going to be a real fight too" while speaking about the meet Saturday night. U. B. O. Tulsa University plans on printing the best year book ever this year. There will be no razz section in the book for one thing and, lastly, it will be delivered to the students, wrapped in cellophane. RATE CENTRAL DRUGS 1204 Mai "THE REXAI Special J WITH 0AR0 I I By L.

Tenement 23 on January 5 011 Melton field. The final score was 25 to 0 in favor of the fraternity men with most of the fireworks being furnished by Vanerson and Walker of the winners. However, Giannangelo, quarterback of the tenement team, furnished the greatest thrill of the game when he took a kickofF 95 yards and penetrated to the S. P. E.'s four yard line. The score represents chiefly the inability of the tenement team's tackles and ends to stop the sweeping and runs of their opponents. Last Tuesday the K. A.'s and Tenements 26-27 played to a scorclcss tie. On Monday A. T. O. gave Phi Kappa Sigma a 20 to 6 licking largely due to the work of Scott and Ford. A good triple pass also proved the undoing of the losers and Haskell caught several passes that resulted directly or indirectly in touchdowns. This afternoon S. P. E. will meet Sigma Chi in a meeting of two undefeated teams. u. 8. o.

Biddies Win Easy Game Freddie Tompkins, portsidc center for the Biddies who becomes eligible For varsity play with the midterm examinations, was in rare form Wednesday night, racking up 25 points, many Df which resulted from "circus" shots, as the University of South Carolina freshmen scored a one-sided victory over Pacific's Terrifies, 61 to 18. Although the freshmen put up a vastly improved performance over their one of the night before when hey downed the Y. M. C. A. Triangles in a rough-and-tumble contest, it must be said in behalf of the Pacific quint that it was their first appearancc on the courts this season. The Terrifies liave been practicing only since Monday. Kenneth Ouzts also made some nice shots for the Biddies totaling 12 for the night to tic Ab Wallace of the Terrifies for second-high scoring honors. The Biddies led, 27 to 11, at the half.

Bird Nine To Play S. C.Foes The state baseball league will continue to function this year with a possibility of six teams being entered in the league. The invitation of Walter Johnson of the Presbyterian College to the coaches of the state to meet in Clinton during the awarding of the Jacob's Trophy brought the resolution to continue the league. Coach Paul McClcod of Furman has signified the intention of his school to enter a team in the league. Dr. I'oster said that the entire baseSail schedule of the Gamecocks will be confined to the state league and that ill of the games will be played within i month. Fight 1 f * our Ga W\ ooster xt ambles By AL SCHAFER A Kentucky All-American Coach Rupp, mentor of Kentucky's superb basketball team, can place a five on the floor averaging more than six-feet, three inches if he desires. He can also place a quint in action who have made All-American or AllSouthern honors during their careers as follows: Darby, forward (All-Amcrlcan scholastic); Lawrence, forward (AllAmerican scholastic); Sale, center (All-American collegiate, 1932); Johnson, guard (twice All-American scholastic and All-Southern); Yates, guard (All-Southern). Only 4 of the 15 member of the squad are under six feet, two of those being five feet eleven. And we thought we had a mammoth team! ! 1 Little Venus Co-eds at the University of Southern California picked an AllBeauty, All-American for the "Daily Trojan" and placed "Buddy" Garner, classy N. C. State center on the first team. And now that we think of it, how did they leave out our own Fred Hambright or Bill Gilmore? We Only Heard Carl Weimar, that illustrious scribbler of the Greenville News, takes our humble word to task in his column this week, in reference to the statement that Carolina is above local competition, adding that to play intersectional games a team should be outstanding in its section. Carolina docs not stand out in the South, we admit. But we insist that she never will as long as schedules are arranged with teams of the ranking that have been played the past few seasons. Of the lot, only Duke, Tulane and Auburn can be placed in a national ranking, with perhaps Clemson and N. C. State in a second division. Certainly, even though undefeated in such a schedule, Carolina would get nowhere if it played a list of teams including Wofford, Citadel, Wake Forest, Scwanec, P. C. or others of the same class. No, we again affirm, Carolina is basically an outstanding team, with lack of schedule and resources. Eventually, she will come into her heritage. And a Few Glimmers Now we know that: Jimmy Hitchcock, Auburn's great little half-back, in three seasons of play, never had one of his 232 punts blocked. Only 300-odd people saw L. S. U. drop a 12-0 decision to Oregon in a December football contest in Baton Rouge. The Daily Tarheel "Comments on Carolina's team: "Southern conference basketball teams had better regard the University of South Carolina's quint as anything but soft. The Laval-coached crew have scored several impressive victories this year, and the fact that the team is rangy, fast, and excellent shots should carry the Gamecocks far in the Raleigh tournament. Included on the squad are several members of the famous Athens, Texas high school team who garnered two intcrscholastic titles at Stagg tournament in Chicago in 1929 and '30. Freddie Tompkins, left handed forward and AU-American prep for two years, is the best man on Laval's squad." U. H. O.? Sibel Renders Sociology Talk The relation of children to social life was expounded Wednesday and Thursday by an official of the National Child Labor Association, Mr. James E. Sibel of New York. Mr. Sibel came from New York for the express purpose of addressing the Sociology classes of the University. The Columbia social workers had Mr. Sibels their guest Thursday at a luncheon given at the Columbia Hotel. Mr. Sibels is a Legislative Field Director of the National Child Labor Association. Presb\ * * * imes O Tech Cancels 1933 Game With Birds South Carolina .will not fill the December 2 date on Georgia Tech's 1933 grid card as thought probable, Dr. R. K. Foster, director of student activities announced yesterday. The Gamecocks were mentioned most prominently among the probable opponents for the Golden Tornado on that date. A. H. Armstrong, faculty chairman at Georgia Tech, in a letter to Dr. Foster said "I am more than sorry to have to write you that I will not be able to give you the December 2nd date and it is a matter of keen regret to me. We shall have to wait for another opportunity." Sports Card Suffers No Curtailment Unlike most other southern colleges, the University will suffer no curtailment of its spring and winter sports' program. Most colleges at best are cutting their sports program down considerably and many of them arc abolishing a large number of sports that have not been paying their own way. Basketball games at the University so far have been drawing better than average crowds and boxing is always a good drawing card. The mittman will engage in several dual meets and will enter the conference meet at Charlottsville. Inability to secure more opponents accounts for the short boxing schedule this year. Tennis, golf, fencing, archery, and track will keep their same status and Carolina has no team in wrestling, swimming or several other minor sports sponsored in a number of colleges. Golf is made possible by the courtesy of the Forest Lake and Ridgewood country clubs which allow a limited number of contestants for the team to practice without charge. Sports Staff Chooses Stars An unofficial tabulation of vote by the sports staff of The Gamccock for the outstanding graduate athletes at Carolina from 1928-32 gave the following results. Votes were taken in football and baseball for first, second and third places and are placed in that order; other results were not placed. Football; Julian Beall, AllSouthern center, 1928; Eddie Zobel, hero of'the 6-0 Chicago game; Curran Hughey, 1930-31 All-State guard; "Bru" Boineau and Bryant Adair mentioned. Boxing; Harry Wolf, 1928, AllSouthern Conference h e a v ycliamp; Dick Panebianco, 1928, welterweight; "Red" Watts, 1932, lightweight champ of South Carolina. Baseball; Bill Brigham, pitcher, 1931; Bill Harley, outfielder 1931-2; Hugh Stoddard, pitcher, 1928-9; Hap Edens and Archie Vaughan mentioned. Tennis; Jack Oulla and Marion Holman. Track; Curran Hughey, Bryant Adair and Frank Bostick. Basketball; the 1932 freshman team. COLUMBIA OFFICE SUPPLY CU.

Cagers Beat Vols, Tigers Henderson Leads Total Scorers; Kentucky And Vandy Lick Lavaliers Carolina's basketccrs returned Thursday morning from one of the most ambitious road trips ever undertaken by a University cage team. The Birds broke even in four games played against four of the top-notch teams of the recently formed Southeastern conference. . v' The first collegiate game played by Carolina was against the Tennessee Volunteers in Knoxvillc. The Birds won by the score of 34 to 29. Dana Henderson, lanky center from Texas, led the scorers with 19 points. The cagemen then journeyed to the mountain lair of the Sewancc Tigers and slambasted them to the tune of 55 to 24. Clemson had played this team earlier in the week and had barely beat them, so if comparative scores mean anything in basketball, the Birds will not have to lose much sleep over the games with the Cadets in February. The most exciting game of the trip was in Nashville when the Lavalmen tangled with the Vanderbilt Commodores. This melee went into two extra periods before Vandy finally eked out a two point margin to win 31 to 29. The Gamecocks rested a few days before climaxing their trip by a game with the University of Kentucky. The Kentucky team is made up of men j who at some time during their basketball careers were honored by being elected to an Ail-American team or to an All-Southern team. The Gamecocks suffered their second defeat of the trip when they trailed the Wildcats 44 to 30 at the final whistle. The feature of the game was the closcguarding of the Wildcat's guards who did not allow the Bird forwards to score a single point against them. Dana Henderson came through with 18 points to lead the scorers and also the crack Wildcat forward, Sale who scored 15 points. Sale was a member of the mythical All-American team last year. Dana Henderson, Bird center evidently missed few opportunities to score as he garnered 47 points on the trip. The Bird's have not played any Southern conference teams as yet, but no single player within the conference has rung as many points as Henderson. Coach Laval started Henderson at center, Rowland and Benny Tompkins, guards, and Vic Laurie and Ray at the forwards in all the games. Laurie and Ray work well with this combination but seem unable to find the hoop with satisfactory regularity and Coach Laval may resort to substitutions from his other team to find a high scoring combination. The men composing this team arc Nevergold, at center, Kill- ' ; ingsworth and Hart, forwards, and Gooding and Powell, guards. following is the box score of the Kentucky game: Kentucky FG FT TP Darby, f 5 o 10 Sale, f 7 i 15 Yates, c 2 1 5 Johnson, g 1 l 3 Davis, g 2 2 6 Dcmoisey, c 1 2 4 Kreuter, f 0 1 1 Totals 18 8 44 South Carolina FG FT TP Ray, f 0 0 0 Laurie, f 0 0 0 Henderson, c 8 2 J8 , Tompkins, g 2 4 8 Rowland, g 1 0 2 Killingsworth, f 0 1 1 Powell, 0 2 2 Nevergold, g 2 1 5 Smith, g 0 0 0 Totals 13 10 38 Score at half, Kentucky 22, South Carolina 15.
