Citadel Bulk History Of E Citadel Bulldog-Boxing, which is one of the two or three oldest sports, is almost an ideal form of physical recreation. It is a scientific sport combining a form of vigorous exer cise with a maximum mental activity. There is probably no competitive sport that requires as much mental agility as boxing. You have to think while under machine-gun fire; you have to see, plan, and act instantane ously. There is no chanice fbr a sec ond thought, for "time out" or "hud dle." Either you have grasped the opportunity or it is gone. Boxing in the days when Greece ruled the known world was merely a mode of settling arguments by fisti cuffs. The hands were incased in Caestus, an iron band, and such dam age was done that competitors were often disfigured for lifc, if they lived. The Greeks passed the sport to the Romans, where it retained its bru tality. England, in the 18th century took up the sport of fighting where the increased interest resulted in the London Prize Ring Rules which were published in 1743, only to be replaced by the Marquis of Queens bury Rules in 1865. Bareknuckle boxing came to Amer ica with the first grudge fight accord ing to the London Prize Ring Rules gibing a mythical championship to Jacob Huyer over Tot Beasley. The last bareknuckle championship fight was between John L. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain, the former winning the championship. Then turning to gloves, James M. Corbett took the prize from Sullivan in 1892. Cor bett's footwork showed that boxing was something mnore than brute arm and fist strength. His style was the forerunner of today's advanced fight ing game, Boxing breeds confidence, game ness, self-denial, sportsmanship and mental alertness.

Mehmaan, Inc. 1427 Main Street nu r a Purple Hurricane Whips Gamecocks In Bitter Struggle Big Second Quarter Sees Furman Team Score Three Times Against Carolina Two weeks ago tomorrow, the Fur man Purple Hurricane whipped the Carolina Gamecocks, 25 to 7 in a hard bitter battle. About 12,000 fans saw the surprisingly high score in Sirrine Stadium in Greenville. The evenness of the teams cannot be judged by the score as three of the Hurricanes' scores were aided by pen alties which hurt the Gamecocks greatly. The first three Furman touch downs came in the big second quar ter. The first two were aided by a 15 yard penalty each time against the Gamecocks after the Hurricane had penetrated into Carolina territory. The Gamecocks came back strong but W. Brubeck intercepted one of Grygo's passes and raced 65 yards for another tally. The Gamecocks came back strong in the second half and as soon as they got the ball, they tallied seven points in seven plays on a pass from Grygo to Nowak. Garolina immediately started another drive getting down to the Hurricane 18, a penalty of 15 yards again threw them back. A couple plays later another 15 yard penalty was put on Cirolina and that about finished all of the Carolina threats. The last Furman tally came in the fourth quarter when Jim Barnett carried the ball from the 50 to the Gamecock 25. On the next play he passed beautifully to Harold Mann over the goal for the final score. The "fifth quarter" was a free-for all between Carolina and Furman stu dents on the field. log Traces loxing Art head". It teaches self-control under the most trying circumstances, re spect and consideration for your fel low beings, tolerance, control of emo tions and facial expressions, ability to take and give as a man. Contrary to the general belief, very few boxers are mean or cruel. It is a game to them, a game challenging their man hood, testing their mettle, offering the joy of physical and mental combat, and earning them the knowledge that they have been tried in battle and have not been found wanting. It is an exhaust for the super-abundant energy of vigorous youth.
