In football the mountain giant has won a place on the All-State team for the past two years. He was late in assuming end duties this year, but made up for tardiness with fierce aggressiveness in the last half of the season. It always took two opponents to remove him from a play.

Old Injury Likely To Be Aggravated Alternate Captain Andrew Hill, stellar featherweight of the Carolina boxing squad will be unable to continue his ring work this season due to an injured nose it was learned yesterday. He quit the ring only after a local specialist advised him that continued boxing might entail permanent injury. Hill's loss dealt a staggering blow to boxing hopes at Carolina this season. He went through last year's season undefeated in the state and came within one bout of a Southern Conference title. He had been going great guns in prc-season ring work this year and was counted on for a Conference crown. Hill is a junior in the school of ' Arts and Sciences, hails from Orangeburg and had one more year on the boxing squad. One change has been made in the Carolina boxing schedule and another is pending according to reports this week. North Carolina State will meet Carolina in the Field house in Columbia on January 12 instead of in the Tarheel state as previously announced. The date of the P. C. bout is unsettled at present due to a conflict of exams at both schools. It may be possible that a bout will be arranged just before the Birds leave for the Southern Conference bouts. Prepi^jng for the opening bout with Duke the pugs are pushing leather daily. Captain Rill Humphlett is back in form after a threatened temporary halt in his training and doing the best work he has since entering the ring. Taylor, Hilton, and Dave Stoddard are going three and four rounds in the ring daily. All the boys are showing marked improvement in precision, timing, and ring generalship. Hilton, especially, shows a coolness under fire that is remarkable in a college fighter. Two newcomers to the Carolina ring, Joe Cardwell and Cox are giving each other plenty of trouble for the lightweight position. Cardwell is a senior who runs the mile for the track team and seems to be making good rapidly with the gloves. So far he has a slight edge on Cox but at the rate both arc improving it will be a nip and tuck affair to sec which wears the colors in the lightweight division this year. u. m. c. Who's Who In Sports Harold Ma u n e y?Sensational quarterback on the Carolina football squad, who has consistently gained places 011 various all-star teams. He will be sorely missed next year, him being a senior the way he is. Other than football, he made a showing in the school of engineering that most people would be glad to rate. Jack Ford is the only veteran to fill his shoes on the squad next year. Tom Craig?Another all-State man, for two years in succession. Outstanding track contender in South Carolina cinder circles last year, and expected to repeat this time. Captain of the deceased football squad, and fast making his bed 011 the current edition of the cage team.
