=? Cagerj Mitt mm ?? - - T Boxers Drop Final Match Of The Year l'r' _______________ Callahan Wins Feature Unseasoned Gamecocks No Match For More Expert- , enced Foes In their last dual meet of the season the Carolina boxing team was defeated 4 1-2 to 2 1-2 by the Louisiana State University Tigers in the Carolina field house Monday night. This made the second time in three days that the Gamecocks had dropped decisions to Tiger boxing teams, having lost to Clemson on Saturday night. L. S. U. presented a well balanced veteran team, every man on the team being an experienced boxer. Such men as Khoury, Norton, Zachariah, Blalock, and Glaze are well known in southern boxing circles. The Tigers had not lost a match until their pres j^kent tour, but when they were beaten decisively by Navy on Saturday night. Probably the best bout of the even Ming was fought between Callahan, 167 pound Carolina middleweight, who "' stepped above his weight to beat HKhoury, 179 pound former amateur j champion of Louisiana. Callahan dcHdcatcd him by his punishing body Hblows delivered at close range, aided by a jarring left to the face. Captain Henry Willard, undefeated Carolina light-heavyweight, did not have the opportunity of fighting as Lamar Norton, his scheduled oppo ncnt, was declared physically unable to fight because of a fractured rib sus, Stained in the Navy match. When Wil lard was unable to fight in that class I the spectators clamored for him to be I allowed to fight in the heavyweight division, but Coach Frankie DcMars was unwilling for Willard to spot the 136 pounds necessary to fight Blalock. Instead Johnson was pitted against I Blalock, and gave a good account of I himself for one round, but his poor condition forced him to forfeit at the end of the round. McManus, Carolina's regular representative in the heavyweight division, was declared in eligible several days ago, and conseI quently Johnson had not had time to I get in condition for the fight. , Kid Rivers, Carolina lightweight, I QmSp was beaten three rounds by Henry Glaze, but the tough fight that he fought against the hard hitting Tiger was one of the surprise performances of the night. Glaze is best remembered here for the battle lie gave Red Watts in the Southern Conference Tournament last year. Rivers took some hard blows and gave many in return, but he displayed splendid courage in the manner in which he swapped punches with his much more experienced opponent. 1 The other surprise performance was ( the fight that Griffith put up in the ' welterweight class. The fight Mon- ' day night was the first varsity main lfight that Griffith had ever fought, but he displayed no stage fright in punch- j ing Luno around the ring for the first I two rounds. A hard right to the face i in the third round left Griffith hang- t ing on the ropes, however, and the towel was thrown in to save him from j further punishment. < A very similar performance was ] given by Geddings, Carolina bantam- , weight, who won the first two rounds f on his spirited attack against Zacariah, f and then was rendered so groggy by several hard blows to the face in the | final round that the towel was thrown in. Frank Cuthbertson won a draw with John Phares in the featherweight division. Their match was evenly fought and proved to be one of the most interesting bouts of the meet. The next appearance of the Gamecock pugs will be at Charlottesville, Virginia, in the Southern Conference Boxing tournament next Friday. t xj. n. o, c Spring Football .

C. Team 49-25 Trouncing the North Carolina State baskcteers the Gamecock strode on to greater heights in the Southern Conference by a 49 to 25 victory Friday night in the local field house, before a crowd of 2,000 who braved the freezing rain to see the game. Henderson led the local five by dropping in 17 points. The six foot four inch center was consistent in his shooting throughout the game to retain his point per game average in the conference. Bennie Tomkins followed close behind with a total of 13 points for the game. Wolf was a thorn in the side of the Wolfpack team until he was put out on personal fouls late in the game. He was true to his name from the way lie pounced on loose ball at different intervals. He was cheered heartily as he left the floor. Freddie Tompkins was clung on to like a money bag in depression days. 1 He chalked up eight points nevertheless at times when he could shake the < guard loose from a sound handholt on his belt. ( John Roland played the floor in his 1 jsual startling manner and fed the ball i into the scoring aces. j Coach Laval sent in his reserve ma- t terial for the last four minutes.

Freddie Tompkins was high scorer with 16 points to his credit. He was closely followed by Ingram, an accurate shooting forward from the Indian squad. Ingram depended on his long shots to do the Gamecocks damage by which he rang up a total of 14 points. Bennic Tompkins rang up 13 points for the Gamecocks while Henderson fell to nine markers, his lowest score for a single game this season. George Rapasky played a fast floor game as well as Wolf and Tom Roland. The Indian's team was working in a smooth fashion and making most of its points from long shots, many of which were from the corncrs of the court. In the starting lineup there was only diic South Carolina man. That being kVolf from Charleston. The other four Samecock boys are from Texas. Ingram for the Newberry five is from \labama and the remainder of their starting five from Ohio. Carolina (42) G F PF TP Wolf, If 2 0 1 4 ?.

Amato May Go To Meet Lawrence Amato, Carolina freshman who gave the tumbling exhibition preceding the L. S. U. bouts, will probably represent this school in the National Collegiate Gymnastic meet at West Point in April according to Gym Director Jack Crawford. Amato is state tumbling champ of New Jersey. Last year lie won the Metropolitan District championship in tumbling and in 1929 placed third in the National Amateur Gym meet in this event. He will also enter the parallel bar competition ai which he is very expert. u. a. o. because of their connection with the basketball team. Henry Willard is mother who will not be able to report until a later date, because of boxing practice. The first Carolina casualty of 1933 occurred Monday when McNair, of last year's Freshman team suffered a liurt knee while going through the lay's work. This year's edition of the Gamecock team will have once again the sensational Gaffney Ghost, Karl Clary, ,vho set things going last year with his marvelous playing.

Shots On Birds BY DOUG STURKIE Did you know that: Earl Clary thinks that Freddie Tomkins has the prettiest eyes he has ever seen on a boy. (Maybe that is the reason 'Dutch' Kreuter tried to neck him during the Kentucky game.) Bill Callahan has fought on the boxing team for three seasons and has never been knocked off his feet. Pete Evans won a trophy in high school for being the best all 'round athlete. Allie McDougal and Maxie Powell, who led the Independents to the Intramural basketball championship last year, were regulars on a team that won sixth place in the national high school championship. Both Bcnnic and Freddie Tompkins were selected on the all time all American high school five by sport writers. (I hey say that they have an older brother who is better than they are.) Red' Ray had his tonsils removed and gained 40 pounds in 6 months. 'Buddy' Morchead lost 35 during his freshman year (and this was before his New Orleans trip.) Nolan Raby has a brother who is considered one of the best boxers in his division in Georgia. Coach Laval is the most superstitious man in the world. (Good ole. rabbit foot.) Walker Yoncc and 'Ham' Hamilton were the best keystone combination in the league in which they played last summer. 111 ? g ? a ihis * * * tate 4V2 < Thru The Bird's Eye BY IRWIN KAHN Coach DeMars Boxing Coach Frankie DeMars deserves plenty of credit for the manner in which he handled this year's boxing squad. Handicapped by lack of experienced material he put out a team that performed creditably in every meet. Most of the bouts which were lost were the results of close decisions particularly those at Clemson. All of the men were in good physical condition except Joe Johnson who substituted for McManus without training. Captain Willard Captain Henry Willard, has not lost a fight this year and no doubt will go to the Southern Conference meet at Charlotteville, Va. Willard has a fine chance to bring back the lightheavy title, so far this year he has beaten two hitherto undefeated men, Fabri of N. C. State and Bolick, of P. C. Willard also holds a decision over Megginson of Clemson. New Rules Football fans will see two sidelines on the football field next year because of the new rules. This line will run parallel to the sidelines ten yards in on the playing field and whenever the ball becomes dead within this ten yard zone it will be moved out, thus avoiding an extra play to take the ball out of bounds. The other deals with clipping. No man will be allowed to touch another man from behind, the penalty for clipping from behind being reduced from 25 to 15 yards. U. 8. O. Tracksters To Begin Practice Coach A. W. Norman's call for track men has been answered by a large number of prospects who arc now training in earnest, determined to make a team which will be a worthy successor to last year's state champions. Spring football is occupying the time of ^several tracksters at present but these men will be available by the opening meet with P. C. April 1. It is hoped that other men will report for practice soon. Outstanding candidates are as follows: 100 and 220 yard ?dashes: Marsh, Horgcr, Duval, and Mauney; 440 yard dash: Westmore, Donelan, Cook, and Galluchat; 880 yard run: Jack Fishbourne, Donelan, Seasc, Martin, and McNaull; mile run: Hutt, Foster, McNaull, Abel, Jones, and Martin. Shot put: Craig, Freeman, and Taylor; pole vault: Tom and Ed Craig and Moore: discus: Freeman and Taylor; javlin: Ewing and Taylor; high jump: Craig; broad jump: Mauney and Woodruff; hurdles: Woodruff, Smith, and Taylor. o. o. In 1929, the Athens Texas team failed to pass the first round in the state tournament but were invited to the national championship and won it hands down. Against Wofford next year, Coach Laval may start 6 former all southern high school players. Track prospects, led by Ben Woodruff, are exceedingly bright. P H.

Champs Team Tries To Protect Perfect Record Against Strong State Teams Carolina hit the hardest part of its schedule this week when it meets three strong state foes and Duke one of the strongest teams in the Southern Conference. The Birds are also seeking to keep 'jja a clear slate within the state and turn hack Newberry, Furman, and Erskine. Erskine is third ranking team in the S. I. A. A. and has beaten every team "?! "'V*m but Wofford within the state. Furman has its usual strong team and clashed with the Gamecocks Thursday night. Duke is rated as the best team in the Southern Conference and is the team the Gamecocks will have to beat in the tournament. The Duke team is champion of North Carolina, having beaten U. N. C., Wake Forest, Davidson, and N. C. State. The Wolf-pack from N. C. State, however beat the Blue Devils Tuesday night by the score of 40 to 28. Coach Laval will have to use his second team in some of the state games as the Birds will need plenty of rest for the Duke game. So far this year the substitutions have been very few. Next week the Gamecocks will meet Furman and Clemson again and then go to the Southern Ccnferencc tournament at Raleigh at the end of the week. u. a. o.
