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.

Sigma Nus Down S. A. E.
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.

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.

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. \

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. !
The guard positions also lack ma- j
tcrial, Turner, Roberts nor Tomlin !
being out. All thfcse men were needed <

Pullet Feathers

"I like it fine," said Roxanna, when
isked how she liked Carolina. "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.

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.

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.
