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

Henderson Stars As Gamecocks
Defeat Strong N. 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. The <
jame took on a new slant but little <
scoring was done by either side. i

Gamecocks downed a stubborn
Newberry team by a 42 to 31 score in
the University field house Saturday I
night, February 12.
Freddie Tompkins was high scorer

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

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

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.

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.

Duke, N. C. 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.
