Found at the . University of South Carolina a man who doesn't want his name in the paper! The man is Frank DeMars, assistant director of the physical education depart ment, or to light fans, he is Coach "Frankie" DeMars of the Carolina box k ing team. o Coach DeMars declares that he literally it abhors the sight of his name in the pa d per and uses still stronger language when n he sees it spelled "Frankie". Attesting to the fact that lie could raise a rough i- house all over the place when persistent , reporters annoyed him with such a mon icker, is Mrs. DeMars herself. s, Mrs. DeMars whispered confidentially - that "Frankie's" real interest lay in his I is work in the physical education depart ment of the University and that it burned s him up to get publicity from his boxing n coaching sideline. s However he is quite fitted for the job. i- As a young man from Orangeburg, S. C., r- he began his boxing career in the army t and the Marine Corps. Fighting heavy weight, he turned professional and hung up a very impressive record before quit a ting the prize ring to come to the Uni versity and take up his present job. g Seven years ago, Coach DeMas came s to Carolina and in that time has pro duced five conference champions. This season's successful team shows what he can do with a mere handful of talent, and inferior equipment and training quarters. Men who fight for Frank DeMars wor ship him. They will do his least bidding and only, this week did they give him a handsome pipe in tQken of their esteem. As a college boxing coach he is ranked as tops in the conference, even with' such men as Miller at Maryland and W,rren at Duke. HeI sees that no man of his ever gets hurt when it can be helped, and wvill stop a fight if his man is get ting battered too unmercifully. Accord ing to welterweight Jerry Hughes, he is "the fastest man with the towel in the wvorld." Intra-mural Cagers Play Play in the intra-mural basketball tournament at the University of South ICarolinia continued this week in the field house, with 16 teams competing. The tournament is under direction of physical education director, J. A. Craw ford. Play in the tournament will last several more weeks.
