Carol: Birds Track Team Seeks Crown Craig And Hutt Lead Birds For Last Time In State Meet At Clinton With her two brightest stars performing in South Carolina for the last time, Carolina's track team enters the state meet this afternoon. Tom Craig and Bryant Hutt, both finishing their third year of track competition, will lead the Gamecocks in a determined battle to take the state crown for the second time in three seasons. And these two men are expected to make just about one-half the Bird's points between them. Last year Craig made only 18 markers in the titular meet, and he then promised to do better this year. Three firsts and a second was his 1933 record, but this year, entering six events, the Six-Mile product should do several points better. He has good chances to cop the shot, high jump, high and low hurdles* discus, and javelin. Hutt will confine himself to the two dashes and the broad jump, with stress 011 the dashes where lie will make his second bid of the season against Lynn of Clemson. And the "Mountain Goat" will have plenty to fear, especially in the 100 where Hutt has tied the state record while running against a stiff wind. Coach Norman insists that 50 points will win the meet, and your writer insists that Carolina will garner at least 50 points, though he is afraid Clemson will also have more than 50. But here's the way we see it: Hutt will place in both dashes. Mauney also being a possibility here. Behling and Mitchell and Hubbard will give plenty of trouble in the 440 with one place almost certain and possibly two. In the half mile Bob McLaughlin, Fred Cook, and Ralph Turner will not be anybody's pushovers, the former having marked up the second best time in the state this season, with the others not far behind. Cardwell and Sease are co-favorites to win the mile. Sweeney will have a chance at one of the lower places on the two mile. BummmBKmrnmaHmsammammm rAn Enjoyable SPORT BOWL For Health and PLEASURE!

And in the opposite corner Carolina's first undefeated team of mittmen in the seven odd years of the fistic sport at this institution. In DeMars' corner, ladies and gentlemen, you see two seconds, reading from .left to right, Henry Willard, twice welterweight champion of the Southern Conference, and "Red" Watts, former lightweight title holder in the Conference." Frankie, a Palmetto product hailing frpm Orangeburg, formally launched his ring career in the United States Army. Leaving school at sixteen he enlisted, and at seventeen rose to the rank of sergeant, the youngest in Uncle Sam's service at the time. Entering the squared ring as a welter Frankie took the best that South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida had to offer, topk them iu his stride and emerged with a clean slate. Later moving into the lightweight division he again mixed with the best that the Army put up and tasted defeat but three times. Honorably discharged from Army service DeMars returned to civilian life in Orangeburg. When lie came to the University in 1927, Frankie had but six defeats after having met some of the best fighters of his weight in the country. Boxing was a minor sport at Carolina when DeMars took it over. His record as coach has been little short of phenominal. Today it is one of the two paying major sports on the campus, boasts an undefeated team, the first in the schopls boxing history, and is one of the most popular varsity | athletics of the institution. Cooperating with Mr. Crawford in his extensive Intramural program, Frankie has been an enthusiastic supporter of fights with the first year men and beginners. From the ranks of his Intramural champions he has drawn much material of championship caliber for the varsity. Willard and Taylor are two of this years' team who rose from Intramural ranks. Much of DeMar's success in building first rate fistic teams from green men lies in his handling of the boxers. Not only is Frankie a top notchcr himself but has a rare knack of putting it over to the boys. A rare tribute to the success of his coaching is to be found in the two Southern Conference chain- | pions, Henry Willard and "Red" Watts, who fought their way to victory under his tutelage. Of them DeMars declares that they were the only members of any Carolina boxing team that carefully followed out his instructions. Their record stands for all to see. In summing up the contribution of Frankie DeMars to the University as a boxer and a boxing coach of the finest type his contribution to the school as a man cannot be overlooked. Without exception the men that have fought under him declare that he is every bit as fine an individual as he is a coach. ?????i | COLUMBIA OFFICE SUPPLY CO.

Plans arc being made to have two ^ teams next year. The Varsity will fulfill the regularly announced schedule, while a Junior Varsity will be made up, and according to present , plans a schedule will be mapped o*t for them. Coach Frankie DeMars hopes by this plan to provide the proper seasoning for green boxers and enable them to enter competition under stress, and thus gain experience for the Varsity squad. The present plan of IntraJ mural competition which has already ' unearthed several promising boxers 1 will also be in force next year. ' The schedule as announced by Dr. Foster is as follows: Jan. 5. Duke there. Jan. l.'l. N. C. State there. I Jan. 19. North Carolina there, e Jan. 24. P. C. at Carolina. S Feb. 2. Clcmson at Clcmson. 3 Feb. 8. Citadel at Carolina. The Southern Conference tournament will be held early in March. s Spring Boxing School Opens k S Boxing training, for candidates for next year's squad, will be held every afternoon from 4 to 6 p. m. according to Coach Frankie DeMars. With only three regulars of this I year's team returning, but with plenty ^ of excellent material uncovered by the late intramurals, Carolina should have an excellent team next year, if the boys will come out and vtork, DeMars says. y Speaking highly of the ability shown ' by this season's crop of intramural 1 pugs, Frankie urges that McNair, Rodgers, Carnes, Vaughn, Amato, ^ Hilton, Zieglar, Fernandez, Farnum, 0 Turner, Brissey, McCrady, Welborn, ? Taylor, and Johnson all report now for training in the fundamentals of boxing. !_ "All these men are good," DeMars declares, "and if they would come out ;t and try hard they would become good fighters." t.

' ... Today Beat Tigers In Final Tilt Bamecocks Win 11' Straight; Wolfe, Hambright, And Hamilton Sing Swan Song The Gamecocks were off in their crowing and the Tigers were off in their growling. ' This seemed only to aid Carolina in administering a post-championship defeat to the Clemson visitors Wednesday afternoon on Dreyfus Field by the score of 7 to 4. This was the eleventh successive victory for Carolina. The game was fast enough for the sizeable crowd that turned out for the local closing of the Palmetto League season, except for Carolina's half of the fourth frame in which the home boys ran four men across the plate. Heap, pitching for Clemson, got in deep water that inning and walked two men in home for a score. He was relieved afterward 'by a lanky Tiger who was hit often for the duration of the game, but who managed 'to hold the Birds to two more runs for the afternoon. Country" Kneece pitched excellent' ball until midwAy when he was relieved by Grayson Wolfe, who also gave a good showing except for one play where he tried to get the runner on third instead of the batter at first. He threw wild to third and Clemson scored two runs as a result. Three members of the Carolina squad sang their swan song with the close of the current season Wednesday. Grayson Wolfe, of Charleston, has twirled successfully for the past two years. Recognition of his ability is shown by the contract he signed with the Sandlappers yesterday, upon the completion of his varsity eligibility. Wolfe has won letters in boxing, football, baseball, and basketball. Fred "Yo" Hambright is another player to finish this year. "Happy" Harry Hamilton has also closed his athletic career at Carolina. A Virginian, he is a crack second baseman, as was evidenced by the applause he received for scooping up several almost impossible hot grounders in his last tilt. MRS. MOON, at the U. S.
