01' Man Jinx
There has been much comment on
the campus as to what was wrong with
the boxing team at Charlottesville last
week when all the Gamecock fighters
lost. After hearing what the members
of the team and Coach DeMars had
to say, the conclusion has been reached
that the team was jinxed from start to
finish and knew nothing except hard
luck.
Jenkins. who was undefeated when
lhe wvent to the Conference tourney,
w'as defeated in the first match by Cary
of Virginia after the Gamecock fighter
had sprained his ankle in the first
round and again in the third round.
Rex Williams, the Potential dlark
horse of the tournament was stricken
with influenza and had to forfeit before
fighting his first match.
In the seedlings, "Nut" Taylor had
to fight three tough bouts almost to
gether and after winning the first two
in a superior manner, was given out
in his final bout and was finally de
feated.
Ray Haskell, after fighting a master
ful battle for two and one-half rounds
was hit in the nose which started bleed
ing and the referee gave Gormley, his
opponent, a technical knockout after
3t5 seconds of the third round.
Carolina's boxing representatives
hav~e iet this same jinx for the past
several 'years.
Dame Fortune, where art thou?

vork. There are a few transferred te
tudents who will not be eligible to
ompete until next year. V
Although he is pleased with the at
howing, Coach Pauly is anxious that vi
nore men report for track. There are s,
nany on the campus who would find t<
he results gratifying if they would n
five this sport a try-out, says Pauly. si
C'rack, according to him, is one of the tr
est sports for all-around physical n
levelopment; the systematic exercise b
vill build up those who are under- o
veight and taper off those who are p

Coach Pauly say. that he still has
lenty of track uniforms for those m
vho are considering reporting for gl
his sport. As yet the freshmen have tI
rot been given track shoes, but this d<

This is the words of Coach Yeaton

Carolina," Coach Wagner pointed
it in a burst of oratory that con
need the tennis players listening that
last they had a leader.
For the remainder of the season,
