Game Furman Meets Birds Today Ouzts, Wolf To Starl Furman Is The Only Tean To Hold A Victory Ove The Birds This Season With only two more victories neede to assure them of the Palmetto Leagu Championship, the Gamecocks fac the strong Furman team in a serie which started yesterday and whicl ends today. The Gamecocks recon to date is ten victories and one defeal The defeat was suffered at the hand of the Furman team, in a close bitterl; contested fray. In the Palmetto League which con sists of Erskinc, Clenison, Ncwbcrrj Furman, Carolina and P. C., th games have been particularly clos and hard-fought. At the present tim the Birds are well in the van of thei rivals for supremacy. Their closes rivals are Clemson and .Newberry eacl of which have five victories and five de feats to their credit. Furman rankei fourth, at the time The Gamccock wen f to press, with four wins, five losses 11^ and one game tied. Erskine had woi three, lost six and tied one. Presby terian had lost seven out of the tei I that they played. The Birds this year seem to b heading for the pennant that the; failed to cop last year despite a lat spurt that put them into a play-of with the Clemson Tigers only to los I in a soul-stirring game. From all ap 1 pearances no play-off will be neces I I sary this year unless some suddci I slump should occur in the Gamccocl I team. Such a slump is unlikely with th / I team playing bang-up ball and witl I the pitching staff in first class condi I tion. The short lay-off allowed th I team between the Clemson game an* the Furman game should prove of im I mense benefit. The pitchers have beei I given a chance to rest up, and thi I should improve their effectiveness H Grayson Wolfe, all around athlet from Charleston, is leading the stal with four wins and no defeats. Capl Bill Ouzts is close behind him witl four wins and one defeat. Dana Hen derson, elongated pitcher and sta basketball center, and Freddie Tomp kins, also of basketball fame, eacl have one victory to their credit. Roy Blair at first base and Frei f|H Hambright, who covers the left fielc are two potent stickmen. Both thes men have been clouting long one just at the proper time when they wer needed most. Bob Robbins, who is playing hi first season as a third basemen, ha been hailed by many sports writers a the most improved player in the Pal metto League. Robbins started th year out as a typical rookie but ha now developed into a seasoned base men. In the past few games he ha covered his position like a veteran. The scores of the games whicl Carolina has played are as follows: Carolina, 5?Clemson, 4 Carolina, 6?Clemson, 0 Carolina, 13?Furman, 3 Carolina, 5?Furman, 0 Carolina, 4?Newberry, 3 Carolina, 33?Newberry, 3 Carolina, 9?Erskine, 8 Carolina, 11?Erskine, 4 Carolina, 22?P.

Men Elected To Committee John Bolt Culbertson and Jamc: Gressctte were elected by the Studcn Body as members of the athletic ad visory board to represent the Studcn Body. This is the first time that the stu dent members have been elected bj the Student Body. In previous years A the men were elected from members of the Block C Club and only members of the Block C Club had nominating and voting privileges. There are seven members on the board; two from the Student Body al large, two from the alumni and three from the facility. The alumni and student representatives have one-half vote each and the faculty members have one vote each. tr. b. o.

Columbia Wins ) In Track Meet J Good performances in several events * featured the three-scored meet in ] which the Biddies trailed Spartanburg ' s and Columbia High Schools Tuesday I afternoon on Melton Field. Scott, of Spartanburg, ran a ten s t fiat 100-yard dash, which is better than j college varsity time on Carolina's slow . track.

People have about stopped striking t? matches on the soles of their shoes for p fear of tearing their socks. a i \ Lead Willard And E Chose Rivers Elected To Captaincy; Willard Awarded J Gittman Medal Two of the highest honors that can :ome to boxers at the University were ecently awarded, juniors being lonored in both cases. tl J. E. Rivers, of Mount Croghan, vas elected captain of next year's jy >oxing team at a dinner given for the ettermen at the home of Jack Craword last Wednesday evening. C1 Being adjudged the most scientific >oxer on the University boxing team, c| 3enry Willard, of Spartanburg, cap- a, ain of the team the past season, and Southern Conference middleweight p] :hampion, was awarded the Gittman ncdal, offered each year by J. T. Gitt- fc nan, ardent Columbia supporter of a! >oxing. tc Rivers, a junior, is a lightweight, n, ind has won two. letters in boxing, ^ naking him elegible for one more p] rear of competition. He is an excellent boxer, with a hard punch, and a| s regarded as' an outstanding candi- e, late for a Southern Conference cham>ion next year. h Others present at the dinner given s1 0 the boxers were: Coach Frankie fr DeMars, assistant coach Red Watts, g Bill Geddings, Frank Cuthertson, Sj \ F. Griffith, Bill Humplett, Joe John- t( son, Bill Callahan, Henry Willard, Henry McManus, and Harry Free- g man, captain of the football team the y last season. Departing from the custom practiced S( 11 the past, of having the members of C( ;he team elect the winner, a committee ^ romposed of Dr. Ralph K. Foster, director of student activities, Jack Craw- -i :ord, ( director of physical education, md coach Frankie DeMars made the selection this year. According to Mr. Crawford, all selections in the future i,vill probably be made in this manner. Willard is a junior in the school of mgineering, has won two letters in st coxing, and will be elegible for the o team next year. He entered the f< Southern Conference tournament with tl 1 perfect dual meet record, not losing c or tying a single bout during the sea- o son. Considering a dark horse in the tl meet, he abandoned his customary aggressive manner of fighting and dis- n played a skill that coqld not be r< matchcd by any other middleweight, t! The medal was awarded to Red ii Watts last year, and to Bill Callahan s the year before. h U. 8. O. ]( Intra-Mural r Pugs Crowned ; Placing four men* in the finals, two becoming champions in their weights, *' the S. A. E. fraternity won the first n intramural boxing tournament ever y :onducted on a team basis. Hereto- 11 fore only individual titles have been sought, but this year Coach Frankie a DeMars instituted the idea of each organization entering its team, as is 11 ione in basketball and football. The S. A. E.'s gained a total of ten ^ points, each winner being counted three points, and his opponent in the v finals two points. The S. P. E.'s with five points, took second place. Individual medals were awarded as . icfore, however, and there was just is keen competition for individual ^ :hampionships as ever. The feature match of the evening vas the middleweight bout, in which ^ Ruben defeated Clary in one of the 2: vildest encounters ever witnessed in lie field house, both these men are u ?ood varsity prospects for next year, tl In the heavyweight afTair Manning ftauknight took a close decision over n Tom Brantley. 2 Dave Stoddard won the junior midlleweight title from Bob Freeman, r( showing a better knowledge of the n fame. In the welterweight bout Graves V; surprised everyone by the fight he j] ;ave .Buck Walker. Apparently hopcessly outclassed, Graves took the of- f? ensive and was going strong at the (< inal bell, but Walker had piled up nough points to win by a rather wide fn nargin. tj By making Douglas lose his balncc and miss repeatedly in the last |1; ound Eloyd was able to win the light- 44 weight bout by a close margin. Amato was willing, but could not T latch the superior skill of Andrew jj, I ill in the featherweight class. Walton was able to annex the ban- Ci imweight title from Myers by a su- 16 erior left hand which he used to good dvantage. Ri Palm \ivers in For Honors Fencers Back From Matchet ? Y The University of South Carolii mcing team returned April 6th fro le Southern Conference tourname eld in Williamsburg at William ai lary College. This is the second year that ai :am from the University has be? itered in these matches. The Southern Conference tea lampionship was won by Willia nd Mary, while V. M. I. won the ii ividual championship. Carolina m< laced third in several events. Coach Wimberly, while not alibiir >r his team stated that our men wei 5 good fencers as those on the otlv ams entered but that they lack< ecessary match experience just as oxer needs ring bouts and a tenn layer needs singles matches. The chief trouble lay in finding sui l)le opponents to give the men mate tperiencc. This is the first year that Carolii as had an experienced fencing ii ructor. Coach Wimberly came he om Georgia Tech where he was outhcrn Conference chan^pion. T1 port has been established' at the vi >r schools for six or seven years. Members of the Carolina team ar ;ill Valentine, Bill Richardson, Erne Willis and T. T. Moore. The tournament closed a successf sason as far as victories were coi erned as the fencers hold wins ov :ollins College and Georgia Tech.

Notwithstanding la the poor sportsmanship of their opponents, the Birds won a clean victory n* by the score of four to three with s< 1 Grayson Wolfe on the mound. tr Clemson scored in the first when ^ Wolfe, disturbed by the Clemson razz^ 'n berry, walked Richey who soon scored r( on Clark's high one to cehter. The gl m Clemson stands were jubilant, but ol m their joy was to be short lived, for in ^ n" the fourth, the Gamecocks combined "n two hits and a Clemson error to take ^ a two run lead which Clemson was c< never able to overcome. ^ rc Again in the ninth the Clemson 111 e|* stands resorted to razzing Wolfe who a< proceeded to walk Proctor. Chavous .a then sacrificed Proctor to second and p< IS Sherman singled to score Proctor. Wolfe then steadied down and made quick .work of the next batter to re- ^ tire the side and end the game. u. 8. o. P1 Z Boineau Leaves tc "a Orangeburg Hi le ^ ?
