Olin McDonald, 120 pound titleholder, and Sol Blatt, Jr. 135 pound king, were the only two Gamecocks to survive the rigors of the joust and emerge victorious. Dick Baxter, heavy weight, fought his way to the finals, but was rudely ipset by Clemson's surprising Warren Wilson. W., McDonald beat Maryland's Johnny Harn in the first round, outslugged Clemson's Milt Berry in the semi-finals, and went on to take Duke's bantam, Dan Brandon's measure in the final round. Biatt was easily the outstanding fighter of the wliole tournament. le beat Clemson's top seeded Edgar Ross in the first round, took Andy Gennett, North Carolina's finalist last year, in semi-finals, and tossed a knockout punch to Maryland's previously undefeated Nathan Askin in the final hoit of the 135 pound class. McDonald went through the entire year without a defeat. Blatt suf-i fered two lickings-at the hands of Clemson's Ross and Florida's welter weight-and drew with Citadel's Stackhouse. During the regular season emerged from the ring three times victorious. ,\cl)onald, a sophomore, has two more years of eligibility at Carolina, while Blatt, a iunior, will >e eligible to fight next year.

Some bar ritters in the rough go so far as to think that. Dean J. N. Frierson's domains are given over to soil testing apparatus. The future progenitors of jus tice who inhabit the famous building now believe they have been turned out of law school as well as intercollegiate debat ing. From what happens in Petigru one would think that USC is putting out farmers rather than barristers. Monday morning the dean handed a classroom order to Hubert Harmon, editor of the Garnet and Black, to count the feathers on a chicken. The dean did not specify the sex and size of said fowl. All he wants is the number of light, horny epi dermal out growths perforating the skin of one chick. Not satisfied with barn-yard statistics Dean Frierson as signed Jimmy Roper, another budding jury-baiter, to see how much water could be poured into a pirit of sand. At press-time Harmon had not reported on his fowl ex periments, but Roper carn across with the following re sult. He was able to pour exactly five-eighths of a pint of water into one pint of moist Horry county sand. (Why moist and why Horry county he didn't say.)
