Seasc Eleven Boxers Answer DeMars' Call For Men Team Training For First Match Against Maryland; Three Veterans Return Eleven boys have answered box ing Coach Demars' plea for "more men or no boxing team." One champion, two lettermen, and eight newcomers have begun training for ,the Gamecocks' first match which will be Jan. 10 against University 6f Maryland at College Park, Mary Ipnd. Practice is held in the gym daily from 4 to 5:30. Six men, Stevenson, Bauer, Nevils, McMillan and Gibbes have reported for the first time this week. This addition has bol stered the team greatly for they will have plenty of time to whip into shape before the first bout. Heavy-weight, light-heavy, welter weight and bantamweight divisions must be filled by these men or other new men who report later. New Boys Billy Love, last year's intra-mural 119 lb. champion, has been working out since Nov. 1 and has improved steadily. but will not be eligible to fight until second semester. Several of the other new men have looked good in their first workouts.' Tom Stevenson seemed to have a real punch packed away in his southpaw style and Francis Nevils showed amazing speed for a beginner. Both played vaisity football this l'ear and are already in good shape. Bauer, who boxed in an exhibition bout against Clem son last year and Gibbes who put on the gloves for the first time, both show promise of developing into dangerus fighters. Only Three Lettermen The tcan is headed by Captain Harry Lofton, who last year with his unorthodox style punched his opponents hard and from all angles to win the Southern Conference middle-weight crown as well as the nickname "Windmill." He will fight in the 155 pound class again this year. Helping to fill Coach Demar's de pleted ranks are two more outstand ing veterans, Sam King and Kay Kirven. King, a junior, who packs a real -.-.-!!cp in both hands, already has plenty of work behind him. Kirven, a fast, aggressive 127 pounder, has completely recovered from an injury which hampered him Jr all last year. The site of this year's tourna ment will be decided at the South ern Conference meeting in Decem ber. Director of Athletics Enrighi will represent the University o1 South Carolina at the meeting. The tournament has been held here ai Columbia for the past two years. Other matches besides the en counter with the University of Maryland have not been definitely scheduled but will be announced as soon as possible.
