In football the mountain giant has won a

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

j Wednesday night in a pre-season tilt Si
at the Field house.
s The Birds forged ahead in the sec- g
ond half of the game last Saturday fi
night with the Cords, on the latter's |
court, to come home with a 37-31 win. |
Dana Henderson, alternating between
forward and center, rather
casually piled up the highest individual 9
score Wednesday night with five floor |
shots and seven safeties, a total of 17
points. Ranking second was Vic
Laurie, veteran forward, who chalked %
up 14 of the' 38 with five floor goals
and four from the foul line.
Roth teams started rather slow, with Q
the visitors taking a lead of two points y
in the first minutes of the game. Sensing
the feel of a friendly floor, the local g
boys soon got busy and stood in front ?
at the half 17-10.
Shealy, flashy Winnsboro forward,
gave a good account of himself to cop
scoring honors for his team with three T
field goals and three gratis tosses. Tom X
Craig. Carolina's versatile athlete, ^
pleased the crowd in garnering five C

basket. Craig started at forward, ex- Pi
- changing with Henderson before the
1 half and later swapping again. Craig
was back at the pivot position begin-,
ning the second division, fouling out
about mid-way. Bernard James went C<
in at forward, Henderson assuming his

Such a performance is new in Combia,

of the Amatos and Belott as
eerleaders. However, a gymnastic

Strenuous training is necessary to an

Squad Injured
Continued Boxing May
Hurt Nose Permanently
Specialist Advises Featherweight
To Quit Ring. 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.

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.
Dana Henderson and John Rowland
?Captain and alternate, respectively,
of the cage team after the brutal farewell
Bennie and Freddie Tompkins
gave their anticipating supporters. All
were members of the Dallas, Texas,
national high school basketball championship
team.
