Carolina Bo: Takes Shap Changes in Southern Conference rules, abolishing the four pomd weight margin may affect at least two or more weight divisions on the Gamecock ring squad, which opens its season January 7 with Duke University. Jerry Hughes, who previously could fight in the junior middle weight division with the four pound allowance over the 155 pound mark, will be forced to box middleweight this ye4r at 165 pounds. Hughes, named Palooka" last year because of his peculiar style in the ring, will therefore step into the shoes va cated by Southern Conference champion, Rex Williams, who now is fighting professionally and help ing Coach DeMars with this year's squad. In the lower brackets, Carolina will be badly hampered as most of the boys figured on using the four pound margin to good advantage. Bob McCrady seems to be the best bet at 127 pounds and the 120 bracket is still wide open. Bird Coaches Are Praised Ed Camp of the "Atlanta Jour nal" last week wrote of the football coaching situation at the University of South Carolina. Here's what he had to say: "Up at Columbia, S. C., last week notable action was taken at Uni versity of South Carolina. The trustees of the institution passed a resolution thanking Rex Enright and his staff "for their successful season and their sound attitude to ward athletics, the university and education, and for their valuable aid in furthering the highest ob jectives of the university." "President Rion McKissick in formed the board "It is the general opinion that a new day ha3 dawned for football at South Carolina." In his formal report to the trus tees, President McKissick said: "Because of their impartial strict enforcement of discipline, real coaching ability, hard work, mod esty, earnestness and uprightness, line personality and high character their power to instill morale and fighting spirit into our team, the first season of our new coaching staff was decidedly successful." These men, Enright, Twomey and Smith at South Carolina, Me hre at Mississippi, were being so hounded a year ago that they pulled stakes and left Georgia. They are the same men or the same personality, pursuing the same methods in the same earnest, faith ful manner that they had pursued at Georgia.

BIGRB TOTIEIR A ' Fencers To Have Meets Next Year The first fencing team at Caro lina in three years swings into ac tion in January against* the galaxy of strong southern opponents in cluding Georgia Tech, Georgia, Florida, Rollins, V. P. I., and North Carolina. Director of physical ed ucation J. A. Crawford is making definite engagements *ith th'e above schools. Under the tutelage of Romulus Reese, thrice Southern Conference individual champion, a squad ol more than a dozen boys have been practicing faithfully for weeks in order to regain for Carolina pres tige in the sport in which the Gamecocks were Southern Confer ence champions for five consecutive years a decade ago. Shortly after Christmas an exhi bition match will be staged between the freshman and varsity teams, and then the varsity will proceed inte its regular schedule which will be announced at a later date. Coach Reese states that the team looks unusually good considering its inexperience. He issues a call to all persons interested in learning fencing to meet with the preseni squad at the gym Monday at 4:30, He is especially desirous of having a left-hander try out as the unortho doxy of southpaws is often confus ing even to experienced fencers. Coach Reese has developed some of the outstanding fencers of the world in addition to scoring an en viable record for his own action with the foil. In forty-seven colle giate matches Reese lost only one, In a battle for the southern open a championship Reese defeated Keith Kahn, who later made the Olympic I team. I The Carolina team will use the 3 French system instead of the di r versified Italian system which was being used when fencing died out, Fencing was in its hey-dey al Carolina in the late twenties. The Gamecocks won the Southern Con ference (then composed of the p present members of the! Southeast L ern conference in addition to mosi f of the present S.

To those unfamiliar with due: meets in fencing, it is interestinE s to learn that each member usinE - a particular weapon fights each ol y the members of the opposing teanr using that same weapon.

REMIN> CLSESH Ed Clary Ri Most Valual Third in the family of gridiron greats of Gaffney, Ed Clary was last week presented the Palmetto Theatre trophy as the most valuable member of the 1938 University of South Carolina football team. Major league football scouts watched Ed Clary all the season, and the Pittsburg Pirates of the National Professional Football league were the ones who drafted the Gamecock punter. Clary has not yet signed a contract but he is anxious to play professional foot ball and he probably will wave aside other offers to exhibit his punting powers in the Smoky city. Last week Clary received a call to play on the southern squad in the annual North-South charity football battle on January 2 in Birmingham. Permission to go has been granted him by Coach Enright and he is keeping in condition to practice with the southern team. Having received a professional offer, Ed Clary says the only thing else he would rather do is play pro fessional baseball. Last spring he played left-field and batted third on Catfish Smith's championship base ball nine, and racked up a formid able batting average. Music Set Is Popular Students Hear Tone Poems, Symphonies Students at the University who attend the recorded concerts of the Carnegie Music Set in Flinn Hall are no longer content to just listen to the master works. Many of them now follow the music by reading the score, and others read biogra phies of the composers during the renditions. Along with the thousand or more records which came with the music set, the Carnegie Foundation also supplied the University with an ex tensive library containing biogra phies of the great classical musi cians and the scores of many sym phonies and operas. Also included are works by eminent music critics who have attempted to interpret the music. Prof. William S. Woods, in charge of the music set, states the following as the line of progress made by interested students: "Students, when the music set first arrived here, came only to hear short favorites, such as the "Ros ary". After tiring or growing more interested in good music, they grad uated to tone poems. They particu larly enjoy those of DeBussy and Richard Strauss.

The thing that he probably will do in that case, however is to play both professional games. In 1933 when the award was in stituted, Ed's cousin, Earl Clary, the famous Gaffney Ghost, was se lected to receive the trophy. Two years later in 1935, another relative, Wilburn Clary took the prize. All three Clarys were halfbacks on their respective Gamecock squads. Other men who have won the most valuable player trophy, are Harold Mauney in 1934, Bob John son in 196, and last year it went to Jack Lyon. Clary, who this year was elected most valuable by his team mates instead of by a committee of sports writers as previously, will keep the trophy permanently and his name is to be engraved on a plaque which remains at the University. The pre sentation was made on the stage of the Palmetto theatre where team members and coaching staff at Car olina were introduced by Abe Fen nell, sports editor of The State newspaper. Pitt Nine Comes Here University of Pittsburg baseball team will be among the big name nines on the schedule of the statc championship University of South Carolina baseball team this spring. The Panthers who have just this year added the spring sport to their schedule play in Columbia April 15. Michigan State will make their annual southern tour and play Car olina two games here, March 29 and 30. Last season the Michigan squad defeated Coach "Catfish" Smith's team of sophomores who later went into the Palmetto League season and won the pennant. Georgia Tech baseballers come to Columbia April 21 and 22 and two days later their neighboring Uni versity of Georgia nine will play the Gamecocks two games here in Columbia. -.a.

And most critics are in clined to believe that the classical symphony is the highest structure of music yet composed. "The next stage, and perhaps the final, is that of the opera.
