Here's wishing Coach Don McCallister's
High School Coach
Clinic all the success in the world.
It is to our new mentor's credit that
he should sponsor such an enterprising
and ambitious undertaking
during his first few months as the
new head coach at the University.
Its continuance should be a lasting
tribute to a man who is already
making, football coaching history
here.

A Note on Spring
"Can Spring Bc Far Behind?"
Smith queried far and wide
Ranted, raved and rimed,
Flung the cry on every side?
Now, with the birds a'singin'
And balls to the outfield wingin'
The sad truth to relate
Is that it's not the weather's state
Nor springtime's what or where
But Smith that trails this year?
SPRING IS HERE!!!!!!
Interview
Question: Who are you?
Answer: Bill Humphlett, captain
of the 1934 Boxing team.
Question: Did you go to the
Southern Conference Tourney at
Charlottesville?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Did our boys put on
a good show?
Answer: They sure did. Hilton
fought like a veteran.
Taylor put up a scrap that looked
almost professional.
Question: But didn't Taylor lose
his fight?
Answer: Yes, and that is what I
want to talk about.
He whipped Diehl to a fare-thee\\ell
for two rounds and was giving
him the licking of his life in the last
round when the referee stopped the
fight with seconds to go. Taylor's eye
was bleeding but he hadn't slowed a
bit and had the bout on ice. The crowd
booed the referee plenty. Lorenzo
should have been the Conference
champ in his weight.
Question: Do you think he will
make it next year?
Answer: If his cut heals and he
gets a break he'll take the title
hands down. If he hadn't been injured
this season he should have
whipped Hahn, the champ, without
breaking a sweat.
THAT IS ALL WE WANTED
TO KNOW!
Envoy
And while we are on the subject we
might mention the fact that the sports
writers attending the Tourney gave
Humphlett a big hand. One said Bill
was the most sportsmanlike fighter he
had ever seen.
I he Carolina welter had his Duke
opponent out on his feet in the second
round of their scrap. Instead of
rushing in for the kill Humphlett
stepped back from the helpless boxer
and turned to the referee. That
worthy motioned the Bird fighter on.
Mercifully, the Gamecock tried to end
the bout with one blow. He didn't
quite make it. A few seconds later
the fight was called and Humphlett
awarded a technical K. O.
tilt with the alumni will open the season
and a large crowd is expected to
witness the match.
Students will also have another
(hance of viewing some good fencing
when the College of Charleston meets
the alumni team from Carolina in the
g3'in Saturday afternoon at o'clock.

Medals To Be Awarded Winning
Fighters According To Coach
Frankie DeMars
Intramural Boxing will start on
March 18th with bouts being fought
in the Field House every other night
through March 22. All contestants are
asked to report to Coach Frankie DeMars
as soon as possible. Medals will
be given to the winning fighters as in
former years. It is hoped that the different
tenements, and fraternities will
put out individual teams this year as
this will make the competition stronger
than heretofore. These bouts arc excellent
as producing possible material
for tuture Boxing teams and great
talent is shown among the group.
The following have signed up to
date: David Lewis, 129; Wade Bush,
129; Vivian Morse, 129; J. Amato, 129;
and Joe Belott, 139. Among the men
expected to report later are Frank
Cox, 139; David Galloway, heavyweight;
Frank Bradley, 129; A1 Brisscy,
149; R. W. Brown, 149, Shack
McCrady, 109, and Mackie Mills, 20<>.
That these contests prove valuable
to later fighters is shown by the fact
that H e n r y Willard, Conference
Champion, Red Watts, Conference
Champion, Bill Humphlett, Lorenzo
Taylor and Harry Hilton of this year's
team, and Andy Hill of last year's
team, once fought Intramural. It is
hoped that a great number of contestants
will turn out for the bouts.

Good Spirit
McCallister Is Pleased
Wants More Men To Report; Only
Fair Football Ability Required
Of Aspirants
"The general attitude of the boys
out for spring training is good" said
Coach McCallister on being asked how
the team is progressing. The number
of men out has been considerably reduced
by the coming of baseball practice
and track, but there are enough
left to put on the weekly game Saturday
and to take part in the various
demonstrations of the High School
Coach Clinic.
Coach McCallister requested that an
invitation for members of the student
body, who deem themselves to be even
mediocre football material, to come
out be printed. There has always been
a complaint against importing hired
football players and according to
Coach McCallister, the only preventitive
that will permit the maintenance
of a good football team is for members
of the student body to report for
the team.
It has been impossible to decide
definitely what the lineup for Saturday's
game will be. Some of the players
have been injured in practice and
their participation is uncertain. Probably
a complete change in the lineup
will start.
The game is to be played as though
it were between regular inter-scholastic
teams. Foster, Cantey, Farr, and
Wright, all outstanding football officials
will be in charge of the game.

It is rumored that the University
will not have a swimming
team this year. Tsk. The first
thing we know they won't give us
an appropriation for our skiing
team, either.
One Whitey
This column would like to call attention
to one Whitey Rawl. Rawl is
at present manager of the canteen, and
in addition to holding this job is in
a position to render invaluable aid to
the University and in particular to
Coach McCallister. Rawl is one of the
foremost of the South's football
scouts. McCallister can use his ability
and thus leave his own staff free to
concentrate on the football team. In
paU years, the freshmen have been
neglected, due mainly to the fact that
f?r> freshmen have been turned loose,
under the guidance of one man, and
coaching the frosh is no one man job.
Rawl, we believe, in his free time will
be able to aid the coaching of the
freshman team. So, another move in
the building up to the Ui.iversity of
South Carolina's football team.

Daily Practice
Season Starts Soon
Frosh And Varsity Tennis Teams
Organized; Matches Begin
In April
Aspirants for the freshman tennis
team will begin practice Saturday
afternoon at o'clock and with a large
number of high school tennis aces on
the squad, a good team is expected to
be developed which should strengthen
flie varsity netters next year.
A freshman team was not organized
last year but due to the good material
and the interest being shown it was
decided to put out a team this spring.
A schedule with matches with Wofford,
Furman, Frskine and Clemson
freshmen and Columbia, Greenville
and other high schools is being arranged.
Guy Lipscomb, Columbia High
School star, Louis Bryan, Sumter city
champion, L. G. Walker, Dinky Williams,
Bill Gaston, Gus Goddard, Bill
Brooker, Buddy Means, Frank Jordan
and other players who have made a
name for themselves in tennis circles
are expected to make up the net team.
All freshmen are given a special invitation
to try for the team and those
interested are asked to meet at the
courts beside Tenement 11 Saturday
afternoon.
The varsity tennis team has begun
work in preparation for their schedule
which starts the first of April.
All candidates for the team are given
an opportunity to try out for the squad
but the team will probably be composed
of Bobbie Moore, captain, Wilmot
McCutchen, Wesley Walker,
Hank Gooding and Fred Mcintosh!
This is the team that trotted out in
their white ducks holding their rackets
while the photographer snapped their
pictures for the annual.
The two tournaments, the State
tourney at Clemson and the Conference
meet at Durham have given the
team something to look forward to.
Carolina made a good showing in the
State tournament last year at Furman,
with Bobbie Moore reaching the
semi-final round before being defeated.
