Bird1M Captain To_Leac Battle Opens Season Inexperienced Squad Prove Mettle Against Duke Fighters At Field House Tomorrow Night The 1936 boxing team will open its season Saturday night at 8:00 P. M. in the field house when the Duke mitt men arrive to do fistic battle with the Gamecock ringmen. The Blue Devils are bringing a strong contingent here. Besides a team of better than average fighters, the squad includes Al Mann, winner of the Southern Con ference 155 pound title, and Danny Farrar, welterweight who has won several Golden Glove tournaments in the United States. The Gamecock squad has been in the strictest training for the past few days, rising at 6 A.M. and doing roadwork and practicing again with the gloves in the evening. Coach DeMars has been putting the pugs through their paces in the ring and the entire team will be in the pink of condition for the fights to morrow night. Speed in the punches has been the central theme receiving attention and much improvement in that department has been shown. Deception and foot work have also come in for their lion's share of instructions. The Carolina pugilists have been handicapped by the small squad and, consequently, lack of competition., Al though the team is showing up well, lack of experience will be their biggest disadvantage when they come to blows with the fiery Devils of Duke. The squad has been built around the two returning veterans, Lorenzo "Nut" Taylor, captain, and Harry Hilton, alter nate captain. The loss of Bill Hum 'phlett, Dave Stoddard, and Park Jenkins from last season's squad wiii be keenly felt. Rex Williams, and Frank Jenkins who showed much promise of becoming polished varsity fighters last season are with the team and are expected to be seen in the bouts in the field house. Frank Jenkins will fight in the ban tamweight class and Captain Lorenzo Taylor will take his place in the feather weight division. Gilbert Colina will fill the bill for the lightweights. Senor Colina was dis covered in the * intra-mural fights last year and indu-ed to try not for the varsity team. His showing so far in practice has been noteworthy. His natural environment tends to make him a fighter and lie certainly is not laying down on the old country tradition. The welterweight division has re ceived a sudden shake-up with the an nouncement that Jim Ackerman will be unable to do battle because of a cut lip received in a practice bout. J. C. Haskell will replace "Powerhouse" Ackerman. Carolina will be ably represented in the junior middleweight class by the team's alternate captain, Harry Hilton. This boxer receivAd many favorable comments from the sports scribes last season and will be watched closely in this meet. A treat will be in store for the fans in the middleweight when Rex Williams, scientific boxer par excellence, will do the glove throwing and rosin dancing. Jack Fennell will do the scrapping in the light heavy section. Fennell was not out for the team the past year although he did fight the preceding season and much is expected of him in the current schedule. There will be eight bouts and all students will be admitted upon presenta tion of their athletic books. METROPOL THE STUDENTS' 1520 MAIN STREET P. H.
