Chi Omega Wins
Volley Ball Tilt
Jane Darnell Accepts Cup From
Martha Mauney For Her
Victorious Team
Pronounced undisputed champions
of big ball fist batting were the Chi
Omega's last Wednesday night wvhen
that club made the Independents bite
the dust, 44-38, in a breathless battle
of volley-ball which took place in the
University gym.
Jane Darnell, with becoming shyness
and subtle smi'-., acLepted the cup for
her team from Martha Mauney.
This rise of the Chi Omega's and
dlownfall of the Independents was the
culmination of a three round volley
ball tournament. For three nights, the
walls of our historic gymnasium re
soundled with feminine whoop and
giggle; for three nights athletic co-eds
fought fiercely for the honor of their
separate groups (not one cent for sub
sidlation); for three nights, shorts and
slacks, culottes and gym suits, blos
somed mn the gym.
On the first evening, the Cli
Omega's defeated the P.i Phi's by one
l)oint in a hard fought fistter. (Mean
while Helen Townsend and Libba
Manning practiced a new variety of the
Big Apple on the side). The Delta
Zeta's white washed the Alpha Delta
Pi's, who had plenty of cheerers but
fewv players. And our Independents
PUt it over the Tri-Delters, in spite of
the latter's appearance in mittens to
protect their hands. (Francis Hart was
Cute enough in white Shirt and shorts
with dark blue tie, mitts, and socks).
During all games, non-playing mem
bers of the teams shot goals, tried out
the muscle builders (Sis Johnson is
sore as heck from same), did every
thing but tackle the boxing bags.
On the second evening, the Inde
pendents defeated the Z. T. A.'s; the
Clhi Omega's the Delta Zeta's.
All three nights were well attended
with a conspicuous balcony full of
males of which players, subs, and
those who were just supporters, all
tried in vain to appear entirely un
aware.
This tournament was sponsored by
the newly reorganized Woman's Ath
letic Association, Miss Nancy Pope,
assisted by Frances Morris and Martha
Mauney, officiated.

e Playing under threatening skies the
- Sigma Chi fraternity trounced the
l Kappa Alpha fraternity in the first
game of the intra-mural football tour
nament by the score of 18 to 0. The
contest was played on Melton field on
Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 P. M.
Late in the first quarter Bill Draffin,
h of Sigma Chi, scored on a seventeen
- yard dash through left tackle for the
il first tally. The kick for the extra point
d was wide.
f Sam Price, Sigma Chi halfback,

of the tilts. Mr. Crawford plans to
have one tournament each month.
h Next week, on December 15th, the
t four top-ranking players of the stu
denis, as judged by the results of the
r matches, will encounter the same num
ber of players selected from the fac
e ulty in a match to decide the cham
pionship of the University of South
n Carolina.
e The probable representatives of the
faculty contingent include: Professor
Harry Davis, Professor J. B. Jackson,
f Dean Frank Bradley, Mr. R. G. Bell,
Mr. Jack Crawford. In case there is
I- a need for spares Dr. Reed Smith, Pro
fessor J. B. Coleman, and Professor
a "Dutch" Wagener, will be ready to
answer the call.
r It is the plan of Mr. Crawford to
seed' the players in the tournaments to
y come. This procedure was impossible
this time as the ability of the en
trants was unknown. The two winners
of the initial match will not be allowed
Ato enter the succeeding tournaments.
The purpose of this is to make the in
terest more wide spread and to pre
n vent the top-notch players from secur
ing a monopoly on the awards.
- To speed up the matches the scoring
of the games was reduced from the
usual twenty-one points to eleven. Two
.out of three games decided the win
ner.

Boxers Ready
For P. C. Bout
Although Coach Frank DeMars has
not definitely picked a boxing team as
yet, he was able to give a list of the
probable fighters who will meet the
P. C. boxers when they come here on
January 9.
Frank Jenkins will, doubtless, be the
bantam-weight fighter. Jenkins, who
takes his boxing seriously, has been
working hard throughout the practice
season, and Coach DeMars can "see
no good reason why he should not go
through the conference this year."
Either Beidleman or Colina will fight
in the 129-pound weight. Beidleman,
intra-mural winner last year, though a
newcomer to varsity boxing, has speed
and reach, Colina, the short, stocky
boxer from Cuba, is light and fast.
The 139-pounder will be Carleo or
Girardeau; both are new men.
No light-weight has been picked yet,
but there is the possibility that Ben
Joe Williams will fight in this weight.
There are four good men out for the
159-pound position: Harry Hilton, cap
tain of the team, Jerry Hughes, intra
mural winner last year, and two new
men, J. A. Walton and James Acker
man. However it has not been decided
which of these will fight in the opening
match with P. C.
Rex Williams is expected to fight in
the light-heavy weight, and James
Polatty has promised to fight heavy
weight.
This list is not conclusive, because
there is still a deficiency in some
weights. Coach DeMars is asking for
more men.
