BIRD HOPES IN
TOURNAMENT
Welterweight Captain, Hill Humplilett,
and bantamweight, Lorenzo Taylor,
will probably represent Carolina
in the Southern Conference Boxing
Tournament, which will take place at
Charlottesville, Ya., on February 22
and 2:1. The whole University team
went last year. Henry Willard brought
back the light-heavyweight crown, his
second conference title in two years.
Others of the team may go this year.
By virtue of his decision over Cap- m
tain Fabri of N. C. State, Hilton, Bird '
lightweight, may get a bid.
Taylor is undefeated this year. lie
has scored two knockouts and has won 1
all his fights by clean decisions. He
is looked 011 as an outstanding contender
for the bantamweight crown.
Humphlett will make a bid for the
welterweight title. He has won all
but two of his fights, and showed up
well ;.t the conference last year. He ^
is captain of the team and has won ^
the Gittman medal for scientific boxing
last season. * |

Question to Dr. Foster?Will the
Golf team receive letters this year?
Twenty-four golfing enthusiasts, including
several ex-champions of various
city courses, have signed up for
the team. Carolina bids fair to have
a championship outfit. If they come
through tliey will merit recognition.
Will they get it?
Did you know that?John Munn hit
a home run his first time at bat in a
college game?Hob "Dizzy" Johnson
is a good hurdler?Only one more time
will John Rowland and Dana Henderson
appear in a basketball game at
the U. S. C. field house, that is when
they meet Washington and Lee next
Saturday?Roy Johnson, star guard on
the Freshman football team last fall,
is a fight promoter in his home town,
Clieraw?"Chick" Brown co-captain
elect of the baseball team, struck out
18 men in a semi-pro game last summer?
"Country" Kneese and "Hook"
Williamson have been battery mates
since 1031 when they led the Columbia
Legion Juniors to an Eastern U. S.
championship?Hunter is the only 200pounder
on the football squad.
Filing silenty behind their coach
leader and friend, Don McCallister, 4he
Carolina football squad, almost to a
man, attended vespers at the University
Chapel last Sunday evening. It
was the first procession of its type in
the history of the institution as we
know it. If the gridsters follow their
coach to Chapel, reported bore of the
student body's somewhat hectic existence,
they should step to gridiron
form with alacrity. And you can mark
our new head coach down, not only
as a gentleman, an instructor, sometimes
a fiery builder and driver of
men?but as a born leader?the most
important characteristic of all.
Athletes, off the field of action, are
reputedly lazy. When baseball battery
practice starts Monday at least one
varsity brawn man will be stepping
high, wide and plenty handsome.
He'll practice ball twirling from 1 t?">
2:30. Then there will be a bit of foothall
limbering up from 2:30 to 0.
And his schedule doesn't include Bih'e
or music appreciation, cither.

For List Of Players
The intra-niural basketball tournament
will be held in about ten days
according to Jack Crawford, director
of physical education.
This event will be the leading sport!
activity of the year since more students
compete in it than in all the
other sports combined. 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.
Gaines will be played in the afternoon
and evenings between four and

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.

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. Presbyterian
has a fine team this year as
usual and the fights are expected to he
unusually good. Coach Frankie DeMars
in giving the probable lineups
said. "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

Dunn, Carolina lightweight, will

P. C. Clark is an experienced fighter
hut Dunn has shown up well in the
last two lights and the encounter will

CAROLINA MEETS
WIND, TERRIERS
OVER WEEK-END
Coach "Rock" Norman's Carolina
quintet swings into action this weekend
with the first real defense of the
South Carolina Cage title. 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.
