University. Amato was runner-up for
the gymnast title, excelling in the
various events: rope climbing, rings,
parallel bars, horse, tumbling, hori
zontal bars. Joe Belott made a credit
able showing for himself in view of the
competition offered by the entrants

Amato and Belott to go to this tourna
ment as they are both seniors.

day In First Game
linishing in sixth place in Con
ference rankings, the Gamecock cage
team left \Vednesday for Raleigh and
the Southern Conference basketball
tournament.
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. Like the football team,
the basketball team will lose few of its

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.

Carolina Wins
From Citadel
The Carolina basketball team nosed
out the Citadel quintet by the score of
34 to 32 in an exciting game played at
the University Field House Monday
night.
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.

Boxers To Meet
With the state high school basket
ball tournament just over, plans are
heing madle to hold a state high school
boxing tournament in the Field House
on March 19 andl 20. 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.

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.
Plans to raise $600 to send Jenkins
and Williams to the National Intercol
legiate Athletic association meet in
Sacramento, California, are being
pushed, it was announced by Wiiiiam
H. Harth, athletic director at the Uni
versity. Most of the other winners in
the Southern Conference tournament
will go to the meet in California, which
is to be held in April.
