The tournament schedule called for a game between Carolina and Wash ington and Lee, the top seeded team, in the first round of play. The game was scheduled for yesterday afternoon at :t o'clock, and was the first game of the tournament. Schools which received the coveted bids to the contest include Vashington and Lee, seeded first; North Carolina, Wake Forest, N. C. State, Duke, South Carolina, Richmond, and Mary land. North Carolina was seeded in second place. Carolina lost the first game of the season to Erskine, won over P. C., and then lost to Duke. An unsuccessful trip into North Carolina came next, but after that the Birds began to show real fight and winning ability, and bowled over several teams that were favored over them. A winning streak of nine games was broken only by a close defeat by Clemson. Coach Petoskey has managed to build up Carolina into one of the strongest defensive teams of the Con ference, and their defensive power has accounted for much of the team's suc cess. Besides building up the team as a whole, Coach Petoskey has succeeded in (cvck.p.ng the talent of the indivi dual players.

THE GA y onferen * * , ii Team E Birds Nose Out Alumni By the margin of one point the 1937 Carolina varsity football eleven eased out a victory over the Alumni-All-Star ctam last Tuesday night under the lights of Melton Field. After Captain Jack Lyons had tallied on a thirty-five yard dash to tie the score at 6-6, Tommy Lonchar, the fate of the encounter resting in his toe, sent the pigskin sailing between the up rights, making the final score 7-6 in favor of the varsity. Bob Johnson, last year's captain, put the alumni eleven in scoring position when he caught a long pass on the time-worn sleeper play. On a short buck through the line Wilburn Clary sent the graduates into a 6-0 lead. The first half of the struggle ended without either of the teams scoring. The spectators were provided with a thrill when Van Edwards broke into the open on a cutback and raced down the field, but his injured knee wobbled and he lost his footing long enough so that speedy Bob Johnson caught him from behind. A few seconds later the half ended. Backed by Paul Gaffney, Bob John son, and Larry Craig, the alumni line held the speedy varsity backs in Eheck. A crowd of 2,500 people watched what was probably the last football of the current spring practice, the varsity having already played two intra-squad games.

Coach Petoskey's boys showed a let down in this encounter from the form they displayed in quelling the Bull (logs last Saturday in a game that con firmed the Gamecock state champion ship. With Hutto, Lipscomb, and Simpson leading the way, Carolina rolled up an early eight point margin. Citadel fought back, but the half ended with home quintet out in front by the score of 23-16. Throughout the second period the Gamecocks held their lead, which was threatened in the closing minutes of play. After the score had narrowed down to 34-32, the contest being in the last minute Wilson, Citadel center, tried a long shot from the center of the court. The ball bounced on the basket but fell out; then the game encled. High scoring honors of the game went to Walker, Citadel guard, who sank seven field shots and one foul for a total of fifteen points. Tom Hutto continued his high scoring spree by chalking up twelve points to lead the Gamecock quintet. Simpson took third place honors with eight tallies. Seven points were credited to McNeill of Citadel, one of the outstanding men on the floor for the visitors. iatt1ing URTENAY CARSON finest Field Houses in the State.l c all basketball fans in ordinary s that those who don't come early nst sit in the end sections where y the backboards of the goal. ;olve(l by the use of transparent ne of the large indoor stadiums of tely behind the basket is opaque t the range of the basket satisfac the rest of the board gives the 1 better opl)portunity to see all that. >ught for the Field House for the r' hopes that the new type~ back off rather' half cockedl last week xyers receivedl sweaters as awalrds.

The Junior Chamber of Commerce of Columbia is sponsoring the tournament. The tournament will be held the same week as the state teachers' meet ing. All high schools in the state have been invitedl to send teams or indivi dluals to participate in the meet. As in the baskethall tournament, the University will furnish sleeping accom modations for the visitors, and will furnish meals to the boxers at mini munm rates. Boxing in the high schools of South Carolina has made great strides in the past few years, and this tournament is the first of its kind to be held in the state. Schools not large enough to support boxing teams wvill be allowved to send indlividuals to the tournament, and give the individuals opportunity for inter scholastic competition wvhich they would otherwise not receive. North Carolina the other twvo times. The semi-finals of the tournament will be played to-night, and the finals Saturday night. The Gamecock cagers were conceded a good chance to stage an upset, as their record this year has been excellent in sonme spots and only mediocre in others.

In a poll of the coaches at the tour nament, Jenkins received more votes for "best" than did Ray Matulwicz, twice holder of a conference title, National Collegiate A. A. title holder, and former member of the Olympic team. Jenkins also got more votes than Nedomatsky, who is one of the three fighters who have held three titles in conference competition. Jenkins fought to victory over Bob Koger of Duke, flooring him in the second round with a right to the jaw. Jenkins kept Koger away in the first round with his left, which he jabbed continually in Koger's face. Rex Williams lost an unpopular de cision to Novich of North Carolina. Williams scored with several good rights, but Novich's lefts won the de cision. Five Carolina boxers entered the Southern Conference tournament, Jenkins and Williams being seeded in their classes. Jenkins, who lost in the lit) pound class last season after reach ing the finals, triumphed easily this year. Williams lost in the finals of the 169 pound class in one of the closest bouts of the tourney.
