'The - Match To Be Held In Field House; Bii Lof ton Not To Figh This Is Birds First Hc The Gamecock boxers will en-< tertain The Citadel in a return match here tomorrow night in the university field house. This will be the first home match for the Birds this season. Last Friday night the university squad journeyed to The Citadel, where they lost 4% to 2%. Co Captain Olin MacDonald out pointed Gil Hoffman. in the ban tamweight division. Kay Krven proceeded to take care of Cadet Luerich in the vweatherweight class. Bird King fought Stackhouse to a draw and these two wins and a tie gave Carolina their 2% points. As a result of this loss, one and possibly two Carolina boxers may not be able to participate tomor row night because of cuts sustained at The Citadel meet. Junior Middleweight H a r r y "Geech" Lofton, who is undefeated this scason, had his fight declared a no contest when both he and his opponent Ulrich sustained cuts over the cye. It is positive that Lofton will not fight tomorrow night. There is also a possibility that Welterweight Willis Beall will be kept out of the ring. Beall got an eye cut from Louis Lempesis and the fight was stopped in the second round. Lofton's position will be filled by Marion Wilds, who will step down from the 165-pound class, but if Beall doesn't fight, there will be no one to take his place. The main attraction is expected to be between Olin MacDonald, who is undefeated in inter-collegiate boying, and Gil Hoffman, The Cita del's great bantamweight. A newcomer to the Carolina squad is T. B. Fersner, a backfield man on the football field, who is training in the 165-pound division. The Clemson Tigers will come down next Friday night to engage the Gamecocks in a return match. Two weeks ago, Clemson defeated the Gamecocks, 5 to 3.

Kent Studes Prove Co-Eds.Are Cold Test Prove That Man Reacts More To Music (By Associated Collegiate Press) Come this week a dispatch from Kent, 0., that should, we rather ex pect, start a howling storm of pro test and contradiction: "Co-eds are much less emotional thlan men students, if measurements taken by. Kent State university psy chlology students are accurate. "Using respiration, blood pressure and electric changes of the skin as measuremenits, a man and a woman student were tested by uni versity psychlology club members. "Various types of music ranging from Artie Shaw's 'Night Ride' to a DeBtussey funeral march were played to stimulate emotion. With the funeral march the man's breath ing became much slower and deeper, his blood pressure fell and his general body metabolism de creased.

Somebody once called h i ni "Windmill" when they saw him fighting and that is about the best description of his fighting possible. There are not many fghters who throw as many punches in three 3-minute rounds as this Lofton. It has been found that when his "wind mill" gets going too fast that his hands will straighten out and his gloves will sometimes nearly come off. IHe has been called down a number of times for slapping in stead of hitting. Lofton is one of the gamest fight ers in the game, too. When he climbed in the ring at Maryland a couple of weeks ago, he had a fever of 102 degrees, but that didn't bother him for he went on and won his fight. And at Clemson last Saturday, he fought his man with a sprained hand and he proceeded to win there also. "Geech" was going good in the conference last year until the ref eree disqualified him because of hitting with his hand open and the gloves were about to come off. At first sight, Lofton doesn't look like much of a boxer, but when the decision is given, it is usually in his favor. His style is one of the most unorthodox ever witnessed, but as has been said, he usually conies through. on the natatoriums fishes team. Steve Coith, member of the cham pion medal relay team of Florida, entered Carolina's second semester. It is unknown as yet whether or not 1-e has sufficient credits to be eligible for swimming. After March 1 Willis Beall will join the team as a (liver. Willis' time is at present taken up with boxing. The members of the team are Roger Kirk, Bob Harris, Burt Al lan, Bill O'Hara, Bill Comstock, Norman Baum, Frank Sloan and Alice Glominski.

Crawford A campus tennis tournament, re tricted to those who merely play for the fun of the game, was defi nitely assured this week when J. A. Crawford, director of physical education and of all compus intra murals, agreed to furnish medals for both male and female singles champions, mixed doubles champs tnd runner-ups in all divisions. The tourney, sponsored by Craw ford and the tennis team jointly, will start either the last week in this month or the first week in March, in order that all matches can be played. Since there are only four tennis courts on the univer sity campus the early start was deemed necessary. Plans are for the four semi-final ists in the women's division to com pose a girl's tennis team this spring, and for the two boys in the finals to automatically take the last two positions on the varsity tennis team. Entries are all ready being made. Candidates for the tournament may signify their intention to enter by notifying either Crawford, Stanley Brose, varsity tennis captain, or Paul League, varsity manager. W. A. A. Sponsors Basketball Tourney At a meeting of the Woman's Athletic Association Monday after noon in the gym, Kat Edgerton was elected chairman of the bas ket ball tournament which will take place March 3-6. Tentative plans are as follows: Each sorority will have a team and the non-sororities two teams. One representing the town girls and one the dormitory girls. Practice has already started and will last until tournament time. This week has been taken up with gen eral practice. During the next two weeks each group will practice sep arately, a time being assigned to each.
