Calls Boxers
An urgent call for men in the heavy- E
weight, light heavy, lightweight, and
bantam classes to come out for the Fi
University boxing team has been is
sued by Coach Frank DeMars.
"We have everything a boxer needs
and are anxious for more new men to pr2
come out for the team," Coach De- wei
Mars said. "The first encounter takes the
place four days after the Christmas wh
holidays, and anyone desiring to par- Er,
ticipate is urged to come out now and
get in shape." fur
The latest in modern boxing equip- ga
ment has been secured, making the de- pla
partment better supplied this year than
ever before. Boxers are assured of u
minimum injury by new headgear, pe
body protectors, and other such armor. ferl
In speaking of the men already out,
DeMars declared that Frank Jenkins wo
is getting along better than ever be- fat
fore, and that "if he doesn't go through to
the Conference I'll certainly be sur- pre
prised." o
Three bouts have already been
scheduled for the 1937 team. The sea- for
son opens with P. C. here on Jan. 9, thle
and then the Carolina nuittmen go to for
Raleigh to engage N. C. State. Citadelto
