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.

DeMars Has
Fine Record
"In this comer, ladies and gentlemen,
Frankie DeMars, boxing coach
of the University of South Carolina.
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.

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

Coach Frankie DeMars hopes by
this plan to provide the proper seasoning

With only three regulars of this

late intramurals, Carolina should have
an excellent team next year, if the

says.

training in the fundamentals of boxing.

Bamecocks Win 11' Straight;

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.
