Playing Field
With the opening game of the baseball
season only ten days away, the Univer
sity of South Carolina baseball squad be
ban practice this week on its verdant dia
mond, which until now has been protected
from the spikes of the players in order
that the recently sown and sodded infield
might be in shape for the approaching
schelude.
The Gamecocks open March 28 against
the nine from Ohio University, which
will be making a southern tour, and will
meet the same team the following day.
Michigan State's strong Spartan aggre
gation will furnish the Qpposition for the
Birds in a brace of games slated for
March 31 and April 1.
The following week will see the Caro
lina team making its opening bid for the
1938 title of the Palmetto college league
when it takes on four state teams. Pres
byterian, Erskine, and Wofford will be
faced in that order on an up-state trip,
while the Citadel team comes to Colum
bia to wind up the week's engagements.
With several members of the football
squad reporting for practice this week,
and others expected to turn out later to
bolster the number of aspirants for po
sitions, Coach Vernon Smith is putting
his squad through intensive drills this
week in order to have the team in shape
for the approaching campaign.

aptain With
It was announced at the dinner that
Williams and Jenkins will represent th<
University in the national intercollegiate
tournament at Charlottesville, Va., Apri
1 and 2. Due to the fact that Dick Bax
ter's hand has not healed sufficiently and
that Hughes wishes to catch up on his
scholastic work, neither of them will at
tempt to enter the national meet.
Hughes has scored five knockouts
during the present campaign, dropping
bouts to Dorn of Clemson and Cita
del's Lempesis during the regular sea
son. In the Southern conference tour
iey, he outpointed Lempesis, bu
dropped a close bout in the finals t<
Dorn.
Carleo, a New Jersey lad, has showr
a willingness to mix it up with his op
ponents throughout his ring career, am
has been a consistent fighter under the
tutelage of Frank DeMars.
Other winners of the Gittman meda
include:
1920-John Jennings, middleweight
Now a Columbia attorney.
1921-A. Leonard Glenn, middle

rts Portrait
blicity, It

4 By PAUL LEAGUE
Page Robert Ripley! 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

ICarolinia continued this week in the field

Team Thursday
The 1938 version of the University of
South Carolina track team will begin its
season's competition with a dual meet
against P. C. at Clinton Thursday, March
24.
New men and veterans have been
rounding into shape on the track and field
for over a month, under direction of
Coach Gilbert 3ristow.
Presbyterian is reputed to have a strong
team this year, and is expected to give
the Gamecocks stiff competition.
Early this year there was a dearth of
material for the Carolina team, but as
the season has approached, more men
have turned out for practice, and pros
pects have brightened.
