.Boxei Many Prosr For Lightwe Three Veterans Back I With Many Newcomex With four weeks of work be ing team, under the direction o idly taking shape for the first 1 Blue Devils, in the field house Returning from last year's statel champion team will be three letter men who are expected to form the nucleus for the 1940 team. Sol Blatt, Jr., who last year fought 154-lb, is expected to fill the spot vacated by larrupin' Lou Carleo, 135-If man, with Willis Beall, man-of-all-weights last year having the edge on other candidates in the middle weights. Beall can fight either 145-lb or 155-lb. Baxter Back To Help The other veteran out is Captain Dick Baxter, heavy man of the squad. Dick has been the ranking heavy weight in the conference for two years, but has had the misfortune of missing the Southern conference tourney both his sophomore and junior years. When a sophomore, Baxter broke his hand a few weeks before the tournament, and last year an attack of flu kept him out of con ference competition. The other lettermen of the team, Bob McCrady, Snag Legare, and Herb Bostain have either gone down before the "scholastic ax" or ineligi bility rulings. Both McCrady and Legare won conference titles in their respective weights last year. Lou Carleo graduated in June, and Hey ward Belser, with the advice of a physician, will not fight this year. Pienty Material For Lightweights However, a wealth of material are out to fill the spots vacated by grada tion and ineligibility. In the 120-lb class Carolina has easily the best prospect since the days of Frankie Jenkins. In Olin McDonald, Coach DeMars has a man that can furnish competition for the best in the con ference. In drills, McDonald has shown the fight and qualities of a fighter and appears to be in tip-top condition for the first match. In the 127-lb class the intramural finalist are fighting it out for the starting assignment. Clinton Christ mas, the intramural winner, and Ar thur Fischer, the runner-up, both look like "finds", but Fischer has a slight edge physically due to the recent ill ness of Christmas. Jimmy Harrel son, who fought 120-lb last year is also working in this weight. Fighting it out with Sol Blatt for the 135-lb division is Jimmy Gallo way, tall, loose jointed junior. Al though lacking the experience of Blatt, Galloway looks like a comer, and should give Blatt some serious competition. In the 145-Ib, and 155-lb class sev eral men are working out but it ap pears that Harry Loftin, a slugging two-fisted pack of dlynamite, Mahon Myers, a newcomer, and Willis Beall, a veteran, have the qualities for these two weights. Newcomers Out For Lightheavy Shag McCarter is the only man out for the 165-lb weight, while Red Turnbull and Louis Sossaman, both gridders, are working out for the 175-lb slot. Dick Baxter has the heavyweight division to himself and should take care of it without any serious trouble from anyone. The Gamecocks have until after Christmas to tune up for their first fight with Duke. Last year the Gamecock charges went to the Blue Devils' den and came out with a 6 to 2 win. The schedule: Jan. 6--Duke-Here. Jan. 13-Florida--Gainesville, Fla. Jan. 27-N. C. State-Here. Feb. 3-Clemson-Here. Feb. 10-Georgia-Here. Feb. 17-The Citadel-Charleston.

Campus Sports Get Green Light From Crawford Swimming, Handball Introduced To Intramural Competition Jack' Crawford, director of physical education, announced that all intramural sports that were halted two weeks ago by Dr. J. Rion McKissick because of the flu epidemic at the Uni versity will start where they left of immediately following the Christmas holidays. Intramural football that is now exactly where it was when the tournament started, except for to ties and a broken arm, will start over with the same schedule that was announced by Mr. Crawford at the beginning of the tournament. The K. A. team battled to a 6-6 deadlock with the Phi Kappa Sigs in the opening game and the next game saw the Kappa Sigs and Pi K. A. run up and down the field, failing to score and ending 0-0. Seven Events Remain in Track Track saw an early end, running ....l.. twdAy. SQx of the thirteen events were run off. The S.A.E.'s forged ahead of the defending champs, the Sigma Nu's, amassing 21 points. Lang Long and Jerry Hughes were the leading team's chief threats and promise stiff op position in the coming meet. The handball tournament is scheduled to begin two weeks after Christmas holidays. Several teams have always entered and the list is expected to have several other teams added before the tournament starts. The first intramural swimming meet of the- University will start at the same time as the handball elim ination with several of the school's outstanding swimmers setting a pace that will be hard for an inex perienced man to compete with, and the veterans will be giving each other stiff competition before the medals and honors are awarded. Badminton Equipment Available at Gym Badminton, recently introduced at Gal 2 Page Six Gamecock .... AWP Carolina, seems to have gotten a hold on the campus and is spread ing among the students like wild fire. Full equipment for the game is available at the gym and students are invited to come over and try out the new sport., Final Play In Ping-Pong Today Billy Rogers and Roy Dennis will meet in the final round of the Stu dent Union ping-pong tournament this evening at 4 o'clock. Dennis and Rogers advanced into the final round by hotly contested victories over Ralph Friedman and Bernie Bass. The two finalists are the only survivors of a field of 32 contestants, so today's match should provide plenty of ping-pong.

Ex-Pugs Hold Special Home Coming Day Willard, Only Two Time Conference King, Visits Gymnasium By Elliott "Slug" McCants Every so often, there are home coming days at colleges. The gym nasium at the University of South Carolina also has its home-coming days. This is noted by the number of old pugs who return to their stamping grounds. The most famous of these ex champions to retrace his footsteps to the training room is Henry Willard, the only two-time Southern Confer ence of the middle-weight crown. Hefry fiugt for the (meencks in 1932-33. He is selling insurance now. One of the most consistent visitors to the gym is former heavyweight Bob Brown, who was a member of the squads of 1934-35. Though not a champion, Bob was certainly one of the spunkiest boxers to fight for the University. He is associated with the state health department at the present time. There have also been some more recent ex-boxers who have come back to watch the boys work as they once did in the not so dim past. Among these are: Jerry Hughes, now in the University Law School; Lou Carleo, who is married and working in the highway department ; and last year's Southern Conference winners, Allan "Snag" LeGare and Bob McCrady, both of whom are attending the University. Naturally, the first thought of these men is to see Frank DeMars, who is entering into his ninth season as coach of the Gamecocks leather-pushers. When the old pugs get together, they always have a lot of fun swapping tables of former times and other champions. Pope CaNs Mermaids A women's swimming meet fea turing diving, free style swimming, back stroke, and breast stroke is to be held by the University of South Carolina within the next three weeks. Any girl in the University who wish es to enter is asked to see Miss Nancy Pope, who is in charge or either of the chairmen, who are Miss Bessie King and Sarah Rushton. Practices begin today at the Univer sity swimming pool. Miss King says, "the girls seem very entbusiastic."

Unlike most great music lovers, Hanna does not care for the classics, jazz, swing, or what have you. The only field of musical endeavor in which "Zip" is interested is the blending of untrained freshman voices in song. And unlike most great ar tists he plays only one instrument a belt, with which he punctuates each discordant stanza that his reluctant choristers emit. His favorite tune is the Carolina Alma Mater upon which he flays great stress. In less time than it takes Clemson to score on the Game cocks, he can whip (and I do mean literally) together a glee club that rivals Fred Waring's. From his studio in Tenement 21 comes word that his freshman "ton sil team" is coming along steadily and that he is planning a tour of the ten ements sometime during the Yuletide season. Hanna, who terms himself an "artist", is justly proud of his ed ucative efforts and extends a cordial invitation to drop around and hear his - charges respond to the magic touch of his leather baton.

Letters from Rutgers University, Hamilton College and other big northern schools have already been received by University of South Carolina tennis coach, "Dutch" Wagener, seeking a date on the 1940 schedule of the Gamecock tennis team. These northern teams annually make a trip through southern terri tory in the spring of the year and play southern college tennis squads all along their route. Last season Carolina's racket-men played Albright and Ohio Univer sity among others of the northern in vaders. "This year we may be able to give the Yankees a much better time of it than they saw last year, however," Coach Wagener said. Tumbling Team Ready For Gym Exhibitions Candidates Show Up Well Before Crawford As his men went through the in tricate maneuvers of the "giant swing", J. A. Crawford, director of physical education at the University of South Carolina, stepped back, sur veyed his tumbling and gymnastics class, and said proudly, "They look pretty good, don't they?" , They did look good with a cap ital "G". In fact the class that started work just two months ago looked like they are ready to go on exhibition even now. "I'm just teaching them the basic fundamentals right now but later on I expect to have my men in shape to put on a really good exhibition before an audience," Crawford declared. The tumblers may put on an exhi bition between halves of Carolina's basketball games during the approach ing season, Crawford added.

Burke Davis, sports editor of the Charlotte News, came out with the following account of his speech Tuesday morning: Rex Enright last night endeared himself to the football fan who frankly admits that he isn't an ex pert-who would rather watch the ball carrier than join the smart boys and the critics by watching the ... beautiful blocking in the line." "You don't have to sit there and watch the line go to work in order to appreciate the finer points of a football game," the head South Carolina coach told the Quarter back Club at its weekly meeting last night. "You have to do that when you're sitting on the bench as a coach, but when you're watching from the stands the thing to do is keep your eye on the ball carriers. "You can watch him go through the tackles and, if that hole is there, you can catch the linemen executing their assignments perfectly. That hole will snap open for just a split second. If you watch line play alone, you're apt to be watching the wrong spot." That, gents, was startling. The expert football watcher has long maintained that you should watch the line-play and let the hoi-poloi and the uninitiated content them selves with the backfield sensations. Enright's main subject last night was quarterbacking and its prob lems but he padded his speech with stories of the psychological headi ness of Notre Dame's famous Knute Rockne. "In 1924 Notre Dame had its team which won the National cham pionship and took the Rose Bowl game," Enright said. "But I'll bet to this day that at least six of those players learned just how serious this football business is when sitting on the bench in the Army-Notre Dame game in the Yankee Stadium the year before. "Our club was taking a terrific physical beating in the first half. They were really cut up and phy sically whipped. At the half Rock got them in the dressing room, stormed up and down while the China Watches SYLVAN BROS.

'Coach, Kurphy groaned, 'Coach, I love it.' , "That," Enright said, "taught us a lesson. Those sophomores who were sitting on the bench that year went out and won the title next year." Photo Stamps Picture USC Campus Scenes What will those camera fiends do next?
