He ^ is captain of the team and has won ^ the Gittman medal for scientific boxing last season. * | ________________ | C SEE THE NEW !

There were twenty-four teams participating last year and an even larger number than that is expected to play this year. Mr. Crawford asks that all the tenements and fraternities organize their teams and hand in the list of the players to his office within the next few days. The list of the teams that will play together will be posted on the campus next week. The same rules of eligibility will be in effect this year that were last year and no player who is out for spring practice will be eligible to play as it would be too great a strain on him to take part in both.

I Coach Don McAllister stated last ' evening that the football team is a student activity and that it is the duty of every able-bodied student who considers himself fit to play football to report at once for the team. He further said that it will be impossible to develop a well balanced team unless co-operation of the student body is assured. Despite the fact that practice has been going on for two weeks, it is still not too late to report. Marrell, one of the new men reporting this year, has developed remarkably since the start of practice, and if he continues, he will be a sure-shot for the varsity next fall. Coach McAllister believes that there are several students on the campus who are football material, and that their chances for playing and improvement are as good as Marrell's. Bird Boxers End Season Face Blue Stockings Taylor, Undefeated This Season Seeks Revenge For Last Year's Loss To Seagle Carolina's Boxers will meet the Presbyterian College team in the* Fit-Id House Friday night at 8:00 o'clock in the last home match of season.

"The fights ase going to he good, I can tell you that." The bantamweight class will he represented by two strong rivals. Lorenzo Taylor, who has been undefeated this year is to meet Siegels, one of the best bantamweights in the state. Scigels beat Taylor last year but Taylor has improved and the fight promises to he a lively one. The featherweight division received a sharp blow this week when Park Jenkins was forced to give up the gloves because of complications. Parkhas been showing great improvement and his withdrawal is a blow to the team. 1*rank Bradley, southpaw, is being whipped into shape and will probably represent the university in | that class. The P. C. contender is | McKaskill. lie has a good reputation. Dunn, Carolina lightweight, will have his hands full with Bill Clark of P. C. Clark is an experienced fighter hut Dunn has shown up well in the last two lights and the encounter will he a close one. Humphlett, Carolina Captain and welterweight, is to meet McClary of P. C.

It is hoped that he will he in shape by Friday night. Hilton will represent the Gamecocks in the junior middleweight division. Hilton is fighting his first year at the University and has already strung two creditable victories to his belt. Meeting Lofton tonight we predict victory for "The Killer." Stoddard will represent the University in the middleweight division. He has been fighting well all season and will give iiis opponent a run for his money.

Captain Dana Henderson will lead the Gamecocks in the campaign which will decide the state championship. Friday night Carolina continues its state conquest by meeting the Furman Hurricane in the second encounter of the season between the two teams. Coach Norman's boys overwhelmed the Purple Wind before and are highly favored to repeat. Saturday night the Gamecocks move on to Spartanburg to oppose Jack Frost's WofTord Terriers. Weakened by the loss of several stars, including "Slim" Mooncyham, the Terriers are not given much chance against the "Cocks." - ( Carolina added its fifth state victim to the string Tuesday night when Citadel was out-classed 54-25. Captain Henderson dropped as many points through the basket as the entire Bulldog team. Coach Norman used every available man on the squad in the game which was marked by had passing and erratic playing. I.ast Saturday night North Carolina's White Phantoms nosed out the Gamecocks 31-30 in one of the most spectacular games of the season. South Carolina piled up an early lead and was ahead 14-3 half way through the first period, but by half-time the Tarheels had overcome the lead and held a 10-18 edge. In the second period the game was nip and tuck. During closing seconds of play the Gamecocks were leading 30-20 when Jim McCracken broke through and with a brilliant backhanded shot twisted the ball thru the basket for the deciding score. BASEBALL "PRACTICE TO BEGIN MONDAY Hurt by the loss of such stars as Hamhright, Ou/.ts, Yonce, and Robbins, the Gamecock baseball aspirants will begin preliminary practice for battery men Monday, with other candidates reporting later to the new coach, "Dutch" Stamman, and newly-elected Co-captains, John Munn and "Chick" Brown. "Cocky" Blair was elected alternate captain in the election held last Tuesday. Prospects are bright, however, for I there are a few experienced men left over from the Laval rcgeme. The catchers position is well taken care of by the two last year's receivers. I "Hook" Williamson and Tom Watson. Mound duties will be well taken care of with Capt. Brown, the other positions open to several likely prospects OS who may push the veterans for theirs. The nine will be entered in the State College League, and will play games with University of Michigan.
