Win Conference Boxing Crowns
Two polished Bird boxers punched their ways through the
toughest competition in the Southern Conference to win indi
vidual crowns and place South Carolina in second place in the
annual tournament last week in the field house.
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.

This series has been going on for

state. It is desigtied to present thc
ideas of the students, to give a gen

Lawyers Face
Farm Problem
In Fowl Mood
Barnyard Statistics,
Hen-Coops Puzzles
Petigru Masterminds4
South Carolina's new gen
eration of lawyers has reached
the conclusion that the contro
versial confines of Petigru col
lege house-not a law school
but a poultry farm. 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.)
Just what all this has to do
with present methods of influ
encing people and winning ene
mies is not known in the Game
cock garret.
