Reviewing Sports BY COrT UNDLEY Here's Your Bowl Game Columbia will have a bowl game in January !! This corner would like to go on record as the originator of the only work able plan advanced this season for such a contest-and what a contest! The classic will be known as the FINGER BOWL and will be played on Melton field. A very fitting name as it will wash up the football season for South Carolinians. The teams to play have not been chosen as yet but a special committee is Aow con sidering some of the outstanding prospects. It is understood that the committee will issue invitations to the two teams which reach the finals of the intramural football tournament now be ing held at the University of South Carolina. J. A. Crawford, director of physical education at the university, stated that medals would be given to the members of the winning bowl team and a trophy to the outstanding player of the eptire tour nament. The university by this action will have the distinction of sponsoring the first bowl game in South Carolina with not one team to represent her but two! The YAM bowl advocated by A. B. Fennell of The STATE will probably materialize after the 1939 season as the agitation began too late this year for the game to be practical. As an afterthought on Carolina's FINGER BOWL, I'll tell ou something. Nothing official has been done by anyone with authority. But these sentences open the fight to make it offi cial. It's a necessity that Carolina be the first college to have a FINGER BOWL. Add Shorts Catholic university has a lot of respect for Carolina and the football players who handed them a licking. On their all-oppo nent team Were Ed Clary and Larry Craig. Big Durham, Joe Hatkevich, and Joe Williams made the Catholic second team. . J. A. Crawford is happy to announce that .the belated in tramural track trophy won by Sigma Nu fraternity two years ago has been presented. The fraternity entered one man, John Crews of football fame, who won the individual trophy for high scorer and the team trophy.... Villanova wants another chance to meet the Gamecocks and will get it. Says Red Smith in the Philadelphia Record concerning Carolina, "South Carolina, the only team to hold Villanova to a tie in 1938, will be brought to Philadelphia (in 1939) for such punitive measures as Clipper Smith is able to devise." . . . Says Clipper Smith, coach of the Wildcats, "The way my ears are burning about that tie, I think maybe we should start spring practice tomorrow to get ready for them." . , . William H. Harth announces that Kansas State, a member of the. Big Six conference, will play Carolina in Co lumbia November 9, 1940. A return game will be played in 1941. . . . The goofiest stunt of the football season was pulled by a West Virginia player who in a game with Michigan State overheard a derogatory remark from the stands. He dashed off the field looking for the wise-cracker, swatted him, took a poke at a policeman on the way back, and continued play without a word. . .. The William and Mary eleven had a 15-yard penalty slapped on them when their mascot, a pony, walked on the field during play. . . . Clemson scored two more points against the University of South Carolina than all the other opponents combined. That includes Xavier, Erskine, Georgia, Villanova, Duquesne, Davidson, Fotdham, Caholic U., and Furman.... Clemson has just as good a record. They scored more against Tulane than did Auburn, Mercer, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Sewanee, and L. S. U. combined. . . . Coach Frankie DeMars says that the new Southern conference ruling abolishing the four pound weight margin will play havoc with his chances for i4 winning boxing team. Too many fighters will be forced up a class. . . . The Gamecocks are finally getting national recogni tion from sources where it counts. Ed Clary and Larry Craig have offers from professional teams. . . . More glory for the Gamecocks came when Burke Davis, Charlotte News, picks Larry Craig, Big Durham, and Ed Clary on his South Carolina all-state. On honorable mention were J. B. Henson, Alex Ur ban and Joe Hatkev.ich.

MAIN AT LADY 4 LtyMal ketb all, New Ruling Hurts Team SsQr . Opens On January 3 At a meeting of the Southern Con ference Boxing Committee at the John Marshall Hotel in Richmond last week final arrangements were made for the Southern Conference tournament to be held in Columbia, February 24 and 25 and various rules pertaining to the ring game were adopted. Repre senting the'University of South Caro lina were head-Coach Rex Enright, Athletic Director W. H. Harth and Director of Physical * Education J. A. Crawford. Major rule changes concerned weight of gloves and fighters. This year the Tournament and the Con ference will operate under N. C. A. A. rules as did the Conference foot ball teams this year. Twelve ounce gloves will be used in all divisions. Previously the feather weight and bantam weight scrappers had worn &en ounce gloves because of their lighter poundage. The ex tra two ounces in their gloves is .padded over the knuckles. In no di vision will wrapping over the knuckle be allowed. All weight requirements have been changed in an effort to prevent a fighter weighing in, then gaining ex cess poundage before fight time. In the bantam division a fighter must weigh in under 120 pounds flat, as compared to the previous 115 pounds with a four pound allowance on each side. The four pound allowance in all weights has been discarded. Featherweights must weigh be tween 120 and 127, lightweights must come under 135, welterwdights must make 145, junior middleweights 155, middleweights 165, lightheavy fighters 175, with all over 176 pounds in the heavyweight class. A tournament rule adopted was that a man must fight the weight in the tourney which he has fought most in intercollegiate competition, Should a fighter box three meets in the featherweight class and two ..in the bantamweight, then in the tourney he will have to register as a feather weight. --, U. 0. extra point, which was the margin of victory, resulted in a pass rom Vcst moreland to Castles.

We give one day servici SPECIAL RATES 13*3 Taylor Street terIal Season Tough Card Faces Team Material for a basketball team at Carolina this year are slim and :hances to come out on top of a tough 23 game schedule are even slimmer according to -Ted Petoscey, coach of the cage squad this year. "Manpower is lacking," Petosk said, "and the schedule as very muc% harder than last year when we had such a disappointing season." Although only two men graduated from the 1937 squad, there are only five experienced men around whom Coach Petoskey can build a squad this season., Skyscraper center Guy Lips. comb is not back but his place will be handled by tall Gene Alexander, one Df the veterans of last season. Bill Simpson, a forward, was the other man lost by gtaduation. Besides Alexander, the pessimistie Petoskey has Oliver Hutto, all-state guard for two consecutive years, Cap tain Oliver Wolfe, forward, and Archie Petty, guard, around whom to mold a cage team.. Two men who take positions on the varsity quintet before the team plays Georgia in Athens, January 3, are football players Pinhead Hinson and Leo Kroto. Another football man and a transfer from Duke University, Carl Hartness, is in the running for a berth on the varsity five. Holmes Eleazor, forward, Bob McRight, forward, and Red Taylor, )rother of Goody Taylor, famous bas ketball player at the University a few years ago, are all battling for posi tions. Taylor, however, will not be eligible until February. Last year the cage squad won only two games after copping the opener with Duke University. This year, although he has a tougher schedule, Coach Petoskey hopes.to win enough games to assure his team an invitation to the Southern Conference basket )all tournament. --. 0. C.
