C. by Stanley Brose, a racquet wielder who promises to go places in big time competition, Eston Mar chant, Lex Durham, Sara Rush ton, LeRoy Dennis and Bert Hill. Presbyterian is reported to have an exceptionally strong frosh ag gregation, including two junior Davis cup men, and are rated to take the Biddy netmen.

Led by The Gi-eat Galloping Ghost, Earl CGary. Carolina came through with its first wiri from Clemson since 1926. Other teams falling be fore the Birds that year were Cita (d, N. C. State and Duke. Georgia Tech, L. S. U. and Auburn admin istered the only defeats during the season. Six men gained all-state that year with Earl Clary and Fred Hlambright leading the pack. Practically the same team as in '31 took the field a year later and con tinued its brilliant play.
