Gamecocks SPORTSCOPE By DENNIS POWERS It. is with deepest regrets that I inform the many (?) read ers of this section of the Gamecock. that. Buck Cureton, a darn good buddy of mine, and until now the guiding hand behind these epic lines written semli-month ly. hats left, t'SC for USC. 1De is finishing his pursuit of a diploma at the ITniversity of Sotithern California. So from now on all pitifil lines written will come front my feeble brain. Glancce at the l?o.ringi Matchers. Anyone visiting the Ficlh House last. Friday nite saw a darn good smoker. with only one or two exceptions. The fights as a whole were well pit on. scrappy. and Fritz 'T'urner. the third man in the ring officiated aly. ")oc" Crawford, ..n(1 Special ist O'llrien. called the fights as thev saw them. This corner saw i couple of them at little di fferent ly however. I am no ex pert ont boxing. and I cast no reflection on the judges. the ref eree, or the bovs in the ring. Bit in the words of Walter W inchell, "I rep ort, the news as I see it." ''he I iediiiont-i Ellison scrap that started the evenings festi vities was it sweet fight. Piedmont leading all the war. and lIlison gamtlely battling a superior opponent. The Smith-111rk hardt brawl showed only, i heavier. mnor"e experienced man against it guy that wouldn't giiit. and several times during the fight I)oig was in pretty hot water. The Lyles-l-lewell comhi nation showed the fans three rouindb of sweet fighting and witn't. in douht after the first roind. I-lewell's inexperience began to show and Lyles coasted to an easy wini. In th te iones Sialliv an fiasco thle jmilges erred. in my opiniionl for the firist time. Siullivan. at rugged aggressive fighter carried tle scral to dlones all evenling witiniig the first two rounds on points. and slMlking Jones wit Ii several hard pinches. Starting the third witI a lot of speed he finished rather poorly. and the deeiion went to dlones-Whv? REASON UNKNOWN. Int one of the better fights of the evening Glider Brown. and 'on Kinney sli gged for three rounds that kept everyone on 0 the edge of his sent. Kiinnev tiissed too Imiany puticlhes. and Brown copped the decision. But it was close. 'The big boys lum heredl otut next. ind 1-.th of at ton of heef in the persons of Doc Couch and Budldy Riggs slanIiat1e<I each other for at while. It was a game voangster algainst it more experienced opponent. amI Couch won going away. The rafters in the Field Ilouse )robably still catry the scent of this next decision. DIusenbxerry Sait. Saul kept a slightly bewildered opp onent at the end of Iiis gloves for two rounds. In the 3rd Dick woke u1p anaid bega n ashg a potent left. However one round is no fight. and from here it looked like a slight ease of ,Jesse ,1amanes..in the last fight of the evening tlie master showman "locky Brown proceeded to handeiiif an inexperienced by thoroughly willing .Joht1nny Kilpatrick. It was at beautifil exhibition. with the veteran Brown taking the decision hands down.
