Boxers Win
State Title
Citadel Added To List
End Season With Second Victory
Over Bulldogs Saturday
Night
Undefeated for the first time in history,
and with the state boxing title
clinched by virtue of their 5 to 3 victory
over the Citadel Saturday night at
Charleston, the University of South
Carolina boxers ended their regular
season.
Saturday night's victory was the
sixth successive win of the year for
Coach Dc'Mars boxers. 15y virtue of
their second victory over the Citadel
and the boxers showing in the other
contests this season six of the Carolina
mittincn received invitations to
the Southern Conference meet at
Charlottesville this week.
The feature of the evenings fights
was the knockout victory scored by
Huniphlett, Carolina welterweight
over his Citadel opponent George
Youngblood. Huniphlett scored a
knockout over Youngblood in their
meeting the previous week at Columbia.
Taylor proved that lie had real boxing
skill and also that his previous victory
over Nelson was no fluke, by outboxing
and outslugging his opponent,
Nelson, to take the bantamweight by
decision. Andrew Hill gained a draw
with Dillard, of the Citadel, in the
featherweight division.
Captain Kid Rivers came through
with flying colors to win a clean-cut
victory over his opponent, Britt, in the
lightweight class. Griffiths defeated
Wall in the junior middleweight.

Efforts to enlighten the public of

500-word abstracts of the theses ;

practically all the newspapers in the

To-day
Frank Durham
Professor Confesses
Dr. Havilah Babcock, eminent member
of the English faculty, was feeling
in a confessional mood the other
day during class. The worthy dispenser
of knowledge paused in his
proffering of pungent parables of the
Puritan pen-swingers long enough to
bring to light one of the darker chapters
of his student days.
It seems that Mr. Babcock (lie had
not acquired the "Doctor" then) was
a student at the University of Virginia.
In the wilds of Charlottesville
was a palace of the cinema bearing the
patriotic name of Jefferson. Once a
year the students of the institution of
learning became inspired with a fervid
and demoniacal spirit of patriotism.
They were swayed by an overpowering
desire to visit this shrine
bearing the name of one of the most
famous and talented sons of their
mother state. So great was their haste
to do so that even the few minutes required
to pay the price of a ticket
galled their naturally sensitive natures.
So with a waving of arms, brandishing
of bludgeons and shouts of "Get the
hell out of the wayl" they advanced
upon the desperate proprietor of the
