You do not have to see a student's <
mother in order to know what kind they i
have; the student himself reflects her i
character, said Dr. Kyle Yates before the
Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. Sunday night. J
Dr. Yates, Instructor in Hebrew at the 1
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, '
Louisville, Ky., was one of the guest *
speakers. Mrs. Ed Sal'enger, Sr., mother '
of Ed Sallenger, Jr., who was the past '
president of the Y. M. C. A., also gave 1
the traditional Mother's Day address.
Mrs. Sallenger is a former president of
the South Carolina Federation of
Women's Clubs. Rev. E. P. Lee, of \
Miami, Florida, rendered a vocal solo,
Mother Mine. ^
Following the service, an informal
reception honoring the student's mothers
was held in Flinn Hall.
Team Faces I
Heavy Losses ,
"Carolina had a pretty good season," j
most of the baseball players are saying, j
"although Clemson did win the pennant c
by a small margin." The general trend 1
of thought is that next year Carolina will <
have an even better team and will perhaps
come out on top. (
There are a good many valuable men,
however, who will not be with them
again next year. "Chic" Brown, Henderson,
and Ernie "Dog" Stokes will be v
greatly missed on the mound, Barney /
Abbott and George Tomlin will leave >
second base sort of vacant, John Munn at (|
left and "Cocky" Blair at center field ^
are great losses as is Watson on first.
But under the leadership of Captain j
Kncccc and alternate captain Brogden,
the boys who arc left will have a very j
strong outfit. Besides a number of new
men which Carolina is counting on getting,
there will be Kneece pitching; three
catchers that are all good, arc William- n
son, Don Tomlin, and Ray Johnson; ^
Derrenbacker and Alexander will be
back in the outfield; Clary, Brogden, and J
Jack Lyon will be in the infield.
Carolina was unable to regain the lead
in the State after her loss to Presbyterian
College at Clinton on April 30, v
and was able only to run Clemson a close (
second. The Gamecock's games and her

cooperation of the faculty and students
in the planning and execution of Moot
Courts, the putting on of which is the
most important duty of the federation,
and he also urged that the provision in
the constitution of the federation requiring

Boxers Plan
Good Season
With regular practices three times a
week, the boxers out for spring practices
have been showing steady improvement
under the direction of Coach Frankie
DeMars. Good material for the squad
this fall is the aim of this spring session
and inexperience is the only shadow on a
' bright future for the team.
Coach DeMars feels that there are a
. number of good boxers on the campus
: who have not tried out for the team and
lie offers a special invitation for them
to turn out next fall.
Rex Williams, John Haskell, and
Walker Hunter have all been showing increasing
ability but the improvement of
James Ackerman has been remarkable
and he will be counted upon heavily next
fall. Ackerman was one of the intraI
mural glove tourney winners.
Plans are being made for staging two
^ intra-mural boxing tournaments next
fall, one before the season begins and one
> at the close. The first one will be held
in order to pick out material for the
varsity squad and the later matches will
decide the champions in the different
: weights and medals will be awarded
. them.
I Practice is slated to start almost di>
rectly after school opens and will be held
regularly three times each week.
t Asked what he thought about the box;
itig team's chances for next year, Coach
I DeMars said, "We will have a good team
and will give a good showing."
