Bird M Carolina Second Bout Of Season Birds Lost To Duke 6-2 Rex Williams, Leo Oarleo, And Gilbert Colina Are Injured In Blue Devil Encounter With one fight under their belt this year, the University of South Carolina boxing squad will meet the N. C. State pugilists tomorrow night in Raleigh. The Gamecocks will enter this fight with three of their best fighters suffering from injuries. Rex Williams, Leo Carleo, and Gilbert Colina have sustained injuries, which are expected to cause them some slight trouble with the Vol f pack. Other than these men, however, the squad is in perfect shape, and Coach Frank DeMars expressed hope this week that the Birds would be able to break the jinx and win the fight. For the past three years, the Game cock mittmen have had hard luck and have not been able to annex a single dual meet. In the 115 class, Carolina will be repre sented by Frank Jenkins, a junior fighter. Last year Frank was one of the outstand ing tighters in the Southern Conference and was eliminated in the tournament by the "ventual winner. Against Duke, Jenkins fought Koger to a draw. Gilbert Colina, who is fighting his sec ond year on the squad, has won a place for himself in the 125 division. According to Coach DeMars, Colina has shown a great deal of improvement this year. He lost his only fight of the year in a close decision to his Duke antagonist. Leo Carleo is a man gleaned from the ranks of the intra-mural champions. A fast man with a strong right hand punch, Carleo is doing his part in the 135 pound class. Kneipp, conference titleholder, won a technical knockout from Carleo in the latter's first varsity engagement last week. Jim Ackerman has had three years' ex perience on the team, and this year he has demonstrated that he is ready to take on the best of them. Fighting in the 145 pound class against Danny Farrar, South ern Conference champion, National champion, and International Golden Glove winner, Ackerman st: ied off like a vet eran and held his own until his opponent's deceptiveness allowed him to slip a punch to his chin and send him to the canvas. Coach Frank DeMars described the Farrar-Ackerman fight as "one of the best I have ever seen until Farrar sur prisedl everybody with his knockout blow." IIarry Hilton, wvho is captain of tihe team this year, is another man who has had three years' wvork on the squad. A hard punching boxer, Hilton fought Wal ter Mann of Duke to a drawv last wveek. Rex Williams, a cool deceptive fighter, is boxing for his second year this season. Last year Rex won the state title in his weight and wvent to the Southern Con ference tournament only to contract a cold that kept him from competing. Against Duke Rex wvon a decision from Al Mann, who is the present Conference titleholder. Jamnes Polatty has been working with the squad for the past few weeks since football season, and Coach DeMars is expecting to send him against N. C. State in the heavyweight division. Jerry lhughes is expected to see some action also later in the season. Duke Blue Devils took the measure of the Gamecocks in the latter's first fistic encounter of the year last wveek, winninIg the bout 6-2. Summary of meet: 115-Jenkins, Carolina, and Koger, Duke, fought to a draw. 125--Little, Duke, wvon decision over Colina, Carolina. 135--Kneipp, Duke, won technical knockout from Carleo, Carolina, in see 01nd round. 145-Farrar, Duke, won technical knockout from Ackerman, Carolina, itn first round. 155-1Iilton, Carolina, fought W.

Frank Pauly, football line coach who had charge of the track team last year, will also be the mentor this year. In his opening talk to the candidates Coach Pauly declared, "Track is work and even if a person has exceptional ability, he must work to keep it. Athletics in gen eral at Carolina are moving forward, and I hope track will take its place in the front ranks." Gilbert Bristow, who has coached track at Columbia for the past seven years, will assist Pauly with the varsity and freshman teams this spring. It is prob able that he will have complete charge of the squads while Pauly is busy with the football men during spring practice. "We cannot have a track team unless we have a large squad," he asserted. "If the squad is not large enough to give the men competition, the team suffers." In speaking of training for the teamu, Bristow said "Training shows whether a man is backing the team or not. I don't believe a person should necessarily start straining all of a sudden but during the six or seven weeks of track, a man should give up something." Coach Pauly urged the candidates to begin practice right away so as to get in r shape by the time regular practice starts. Plans are to start around February 6 when the uniforms will be given out. New equipment will be ordered for the team before this time. The men will work out three days a week during good weather in order to be in condition for the first dual meet which will be held about two months later. The schedule for this year is as fol lows: April 3 Davidson in Columbia. April 10 Wofford in Columbia. April 17 Clemson at Clemson. April 25 Citadel at Charleston. April 30, May 1 State Track Meet at Clinton. May 8 Furman in Columbia. May 14-15 Southern Conference Meet in Durham, N. C. A dual meet will probably be secured with P. C.

Bob King, Furman's center and high scorer for the visitors, made the first goal 3f the game, but Bill Simpson, Carolina forward, dropped in a shot to even the score. From then on, the Gamecocks went into the lead, and never lost it. The Birds worked their plays with snap and precision, working the ball into scoring position almost at will. Their lefense was air-tight, and Furman man iged to score only 8 points in the first half to the Birds' 24. At the start of the second half, the .amecocks again took the offensive. With the score at 50 to 16, Coach Petoskey sent in a whole new team, giving all the substitutes a chance to play. Against the second string, Furman still was not ible to do any effective goal shooting. Later, the first team came back into the 5ame, and remained till the end.
