Because of the illness of Coach Carroll Berman, which forced him to stay in bed this week and withdraw from school, the team was forced to cancel the game with the College of Charleston Saturday night, but the coming rivals In SHOES lL3 t or Black?Many others to i From HOE CO. * STREET ted 19; eers Noi Intramural To Be J Roosted Koundup By RODGERS 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. To Banjo Smith? 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. iBarbecue Curb Her vice A Specialty WE SERVE BEER pig wich bar-b-q 1240 Hampton Street |6 Boa w In Fill 4 Boxing Staged Soon -9 Many Already Entered 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. U. 8. C. Gridders Show 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. 1'. H. V.? 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. :ing Ca U Swing I Ten Men G-et Letters Nine players and the manager of the 1935 Carolina Gamecock basketball team have been recommended for letters by Coach A. W. Norman. Dana Henderson, captain and guard; John Rowland, alternate captain and guard; Tom Craig center; Vic Laurie, forward; Henry Gooding, forward; Walter Taylor, guard; "Goodie" Taylor, forward; Bernard James, forward; Bill Skidmore, center; and Baron Abrams, manager, were those recommended. The advistory board of the University will make a formal presentation of the letters at an early date. Netsfers Begin 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.
