All-in Boxers Birds See Fifth Win Loss Of Wolfe Hurts Victory Over Bulldogs Would Assure Gamecocks Of State Boxing Championship With the State championship in the offing, Citadel's ringmen come to Columbia tomorrow for the first of two boxing matches with Carolina, the second coming the next week in Charleston. The Birds fight without the service of Wolf who has undergone an operation. Citadel defeated P. C. lately but in spite of this the .Gamecocks will, enter the bouts the favorite. The Roosters have added both P. C. and Clcmson to their list of victims, which now stands at four. Clemson's pugs offered quite, a bit of resistance last Saturday night but could gather only 2 1-2 points?one victory, one draw, and one default? to the Gamecock's 5 1-2 points. A knockout, a decision and a default was all the Bluestockings could grab from the Birds in a meeting in Clinton before the beginning of exams, Carolina not sending a representative in the heaviest weight. A terrific knockout, Wolf to Kissam, topped off an unusually good string of fights as Clcmson bowed to the Roosters in their third sport since the beginning of this school year. Taylor, llill, Rivers, and Willard added the other Carolina decisions. Taylor defeated Ilenley and Hill outpointed Altman to give the Birds a good start. In a closely fought match Captain Rivers managed to eke out a decision over Dawson to set Carolina out in front 3-0. Then Humphlctt gained a draw with Fudge to add another half point. Griffith put up a good scrap against Medlin, a Tiger veteran, but lost. Next came an excellent bout between Willard and Allan. The latter fought hard # and well but Willard grew stronger as the fight progressed and clearly won the verdict. In the final scrap, the light-heavyweight (since the heavy was to be forfeited), Wolf entered the ring with his right hand dynamite ready for use. In the first round Kissam outboxed the Gamecock and avoided his lusty swings, but in the second one of Wolf's powerful overhand rights caught him on the jaw and work was immediately begun to speed up his recovery, which was affected some few minutes later. Carolina's five points against P. C. were accounted for by Hill, Rivers, Humphlctt, Griffith, and Willard. Taylor lost the first fight to Seagle, a P. C. veteran, but Hill tied it up by earning a technical knockout over Gillis. Then the Roosters copped three straight, Rivers over Clark, last year's state champ, Humphlctt over McClary, and Griffith over Mills. Fennell entered the ropes against Sims with a twenty pound handicap and made a good showing for the first round. Bu^ a knockdown in the second decided the Carolina seconds to throw in the towel to save the Rooster from further punishment.

DuPre Stars In Final Campus Contest As Sigma Nus Roll Up 26-0 Score Displaying a dazzling brand of football, which swept their opponents off their feet, the strong Sigma Nu football eleven fodc roughshod over the S. A. E. eleven 26 to 0 in the final game af the Intra-mural football season on January 23. Sigma Nu's, bj' virtue of their victory retained the Intra-mural championship for the second successive season. The defending champions presented a baffling attack and an airtight defense that stopped the S. A. E. touchdown drives time after time. Despite the work of Broadwater, S. A. E. back, and the defensive play of Brantley, S. A. K. center, the Sigma Nu's continued to roll up the score. The S. A. E.'s threatened throughout the game uncovering a brilliant passing attack that threatened to. net them a touchdown several times during the course of the game. Led by DuPre head quarterback, the Sigma Nu's drove their way to victory. The S. A. E. eleven, wliych had won its way to the finals after two hardfought games the previous week held the Sigma Nu's during the first half, but the strain began to show in the second half and the S. A. E.'s gave the appearance of a team that had shot its last bolt. I'rom the opening whistle to the end, the game was hard fought and every iijch of ground was bitterly contested. The large group of spectators that attended the game were presented with as pretty an exhibition of football as was played during the past Intra-mural season. Jack Crawford, physical education instructor, expects to get the Intra-mural basketball league under way within the next few weeks. IT. 8. O. Gym Team Meets Army "Beat West Point" will be the motto of tlie newly formed gym team of the University of South Carolina, as the team journeys to West Point to meet the Army gymnasts on Saturday, February 17th. The gj'm team is the latest sport to be added to the program of athletics at the University. The gym team has been working out daily under the supervision of JackCrawford, physical education director, and will present a capable outfit in their match against the Army. Despite the fact that the Army gym team placed third in the Intcr-collegiatcs last year the Gamecocks arc confident of giving the Army a hard scrap. Events will be held on the parallel bars, the horizontal bars, sidehorse, rings, rope-climbing, and tumbling. The South Carolinians have several former high school gymnasts on the team and these men have been showi ing rare form in the daily practices. Four men will make the trip, John Amato, Lawrence Amato, Sam Preston and Ralph McCormick. The team will leave on Thursday for West Point. While the schedule has not yet been completed it is expected that the gym team will meet the University of Florida in the near future, and will also be entered in the Intercollcgiates which will he held at West Point I early in March.

BUCK'S BARBER SHOP All First Class Barbers ; > 1208 Lady Street J] , I ral Te k * eet Cit Cock-Tales By Elmore Martin The beginning of spring football practice brings to our minds a sadder I realization than most of us had ex- c pccted.' We all understood the loss c of a great number of the stars of last \ year's fine senior team, but not all of s us could see a few other just-as-sc- 1 rious troubles. ^ For two years the freshmen teams 1 have been made up mainly 4of green r and untrained men, but, of course, with a few notable exceptions. At S any rate these exceptions, however 7 good, are not numerous enough to I supply the re-enforcements which arc c now needed for the font lines. t The passing of the seniors?Joe 1 Shinn, Buddy Morchcad, Hambright, t and even the mighty Earl?could have 1 been borne with some degree of sc- t curity had there been ample reserves. But there arc not even the greenest c kind of subs that might be built into 1 fair players. There are scarcclj' any 1 candidates at all. s 1 Smallest Squad Ever \ Coach Laval says this is the smallest \ squad he ever saw at spring practice c since lie's been coaching. Oh. we have 1 about twenty out, to be sure, but these > are not all eligible. t Little boy blue (meaning a certain t association conncctcd with 17. S. C.) c come blow your horn, the goats are " 011 Melton but the sheep (not to men- ( tion a few bulls) are all gone. n t Tough on the Tiger a Carolina is getting sweet revenge 011 f. the Bengals for their former maltreat- 1 mcnt. But while the Birds arc about it they seem intent 011 getting a little ahead themselves. Already this year the Gamecocks have battered the tiger into submission in football, basketball, and boxing, not to mention taking away their state baseball crown last year. a The chickens might also look to S throwing a little cinder dust in other ' South Carolina tracksters eyes. If " some very probable misfortunes don't befall the Gamecock track men they * should be right up on the roost again * after the state meet. r With Mauney, Hutt, and possibly s Clary in the dashes, Mitchell, Scase, 3 and McLaughlin in the middle dis- f tances, Cardwell and Wolf in the distances, the Roosters should more than A hold their own in track events. And 1 with Taylor and Craig in tlfe weights ^ and field events, we can look for a point or two there. \ t Clary Gets Another Karl Clary and three other Southern 1 Conference men received mention 011 1 Liberty's recent All-American team, selected for that magazine by players f. 011 all important teams in the country. 1 Just another drop in the pond. c Spring Practice With 1 A deplorable scarcity of material t greeted Coach Laval's eyes in the first I week of spring football practice. Less than two full teams aand hard- | ly a complete line can be assembled > from the candidates who have already 1 reported. And prospects for additional men reporting are very dis- I couraging, as several freshman stars 5 and other promising men have been > unable to register due to lack of funds, 1 and others have to work in order tcf ( remain in school. Transferring players to fill weak < positions will take most of Coach 1 Laval's time since several positions arc 1 hurt due to graduation and scholastic 1 difficulties. Tom Craig to tackle and Rowland to the backficld are probable develop- ( merits. A good supply of end material ' is on hand and tackles are scarce, * necessitating the return of Captain 1 Craig to his former love. The grad- ' uation of Hambright leaves a block- 1 ing back assignment open to the best \ comer and Coach Billy has decided J that Rowland can fill this place. !

"There ire some mighty sweet girls here and iome nice men folks too, and I miss ill those that did not come back this -ear." Roxanna, the maid in the girl's gymnasium department, was born in Orangeburg. She says she is not maried now but she used to be. Although lie has worked at Carolina for fifteen ears, Roxanna has not always perormed her duties in the gym. "I was the first colored woman to vork in the woman's building," >oasts Roxanna. "I worked in the citchen, too, but it was too hot." When asked whether she liked the vork in the gym better than that in he Woman's Building, she replied, The gym work is easier and I like it >etter. I made the "penny's" for the lockey teams, too." Roxanna asked why there are so few ;ym dances this year. She says she nisses the dollar she collected from :ach dance. i Begins Poor Prospects ion. As it is, the work will fall mainy on Fowble and Watson. Stroud and Freeman will have to :ake care of the pivot post apparently vithout assistance, since Stokes has lot reported. Backficld Coach Wliitey Rawl is expecting a good backfield, though not >o heavy. His candidates consist of Shack McCrady, McDougal, Yonce, Mauney, Robbins, Shinn, Wilburn -lary, Brown and others. Practice thus far has consisted mostly if limbering up exercises and dummy ackling. Several old players who will inish school in June are working out .vith the squad, helping with the men. Duck Hughcy is coaching the line. His job is made more discouraging lue to the fact that several men who ire now ineligible due to scholastic iroubles will be even more pressed lext year in meeting the new conference requirement that all athletes nust pass four subjects. CAROLINA DR1 : Phone 8150 ''IP IT OAiN BE GLEAN The Canteen and G Anno r * * n Ti tlx Carolina Cagers Lead State Race Erskine Falls 80 To 28 Freddie Tompkins Is State High Scorer With One Hundred And Thirty Points Practically cinching the state basketball championship and placing Freddie Tompkins in the lead for state high scorer. Carolina's basketeers have added victorious over Clemson 41 to 15, Furman 43 to 18, Erskine 80 to 28, and Newberry 40 to 27. At the end of the Erskine game Freddie Tompkins was one point behind Mooneyham of WofTord in the race for leading state point maker. Copping seven points in the Bird's second victory over Newberry this season, Freddie Tompkins forged ahead for a lead of six markers Wednesday night. He has 130 inter-collegiate chalk-ups to his credit this season. Featuring the passing of the Tompkins brothers and the crack shooting of Dana Henderson, high scorer with 15 points, the Carolinians overcame Clemson's three point lead to stand ahead eight to six after first 15 minutes of play. Freddie and Bcnnic 1 ompkins won second honors with nine points each, while Simons was high scorer for Clemson with nine markers. Carolina led at the half 14 to f>. Appearing against Furman the following night Carolina ran loose for the first half but were held on almost even terms during the second period. Freddie Tompkins returned to his place of high scorer with 15 points. Henderson was second with 11 markers and Bcnnic Tompkins, beside his fancy dribbling, tied Roper of Clemson for third place with seven tallies. The Birds led at half 30 to 7. Following their two weeks rest for exams, the Roosters came back to quelch Erskine's aspirations for the state championship last Monday night. Running into what seemed the best defense of the locals this year, Erskine resorted to long shots for most of their points. The Birds won an early lead and stood ahead 39 to 15 at the half. The second team .was sent in for the first eight minutes of the last period and out tallied the Flying Fleet by three points during their time. Freddie Tompkins won first honors with 24 points, Henderson second with 19, Bcnnic Tompkins third with 14, and Re id of Erskine, fourth with 11. In a return engagement the Gamecocks were leading 27 to 10 at first half of their win over the Newberry Indians at Newberry. Seeking revenge, the "red men" tightened their defense in the last period but were unable to check the Birds. Bennie Tompkins was high scorer with 16 tallies, while Ingram of Newberry followed with 12 markers. IT. 8. O..
