Boxing Finals
Tuesday Night
By JOE PIEDMONT
The finals of the Navy boxing
tournament will be held in the
Field House Tuesday evening at
7:45, with the card k. lling for eight
bouts. These bouts will unveil the
Regimental Boxing Champions for
this term, and will also determine
the top company of the tournament.
Immediately after the fights are
over, the most promising boxer,
of the tournament will be named.
As the tournament goes into the
finals, Company 1 is leading with
13 points to its credit. Company
2 and Company 4 are tied with 12
points, Company 3 in fourth place
with 11 points, and Company 7 is
In fifth place with 10 points. Each
additional victory by a boxer will
give his company two points.
As it stands, Company 1 has the
best chance to cop first place in the
tournament, having placed three
men in the finals, although Com
panies 2, 3, 4, and 7 also have three
men in the finals. Since each vic
tory adds two points to their Com
pany's score, and since the stand
ings at present are very close, the
finals should be very interesting.
Schedule For the Final Bouts:
Ralph Ferguson, Company 3, vs.
Gus Lunsford, Company 2 (120-lb.
class.
Bill Amos, Company .1. vs. Wayne
Tye. Company 2 (127-lb. class.)

round comeback was to'no advant

Don Davis, Company 3, took an
other very close decision from Bill
Connelly, Company 4. The first two
rounds kvent slow, but Davis opened
up the third with a barrage of
punches, and walked off with the
judge's decision.
155-Pound Clas:
Bill Carr, Company 1. turned this
bout into a one-man comedy as lie
portrayed the part of a punch
drunk fighter and at the end of
each round, his seconds would have
to carry him back to his corner.
His opponent, Bobby Wilson, con
tinually chasing Carr, managed to
catch up with him several times,
and each time stayed with him long
enough to land telling lefts and
rights. Wilson, representing the
Band and fighting for Company one,
won the decision.
Fred Coleman, fighting for Coim
pany 7, used a long left ja) to lead
his shorter opponent, Frank Butler,
Company 1. around the ring. Cole

and occasionally crossed a right to
win the -decision.

7, showed exceptionally good form
in defeating his rangy opponent,
Dave Llewellyn, Company 4. Spann,
using f long left to keep his op
ponent at bay, slowed Llewellyn
down to a walk in the final round
with lard rights to tle hody. The

Give Birds
State Loss
By JERRY KRUPP;
Shamefaced and disappointed the
Gamecocks returned to the roost
late yesterday evening after drop
ping their first game in the race for
the state baseball title. The decisive
combination of many miscues, poor
umpiring and poor team play en
abled the country boys from PC to
take the tilt. It just wasn't Caro
lina's day, as the lads fresh from
the plowhandles batted and' pitched
the Birds into complete submission;
the final score reading 11-4. South
Carolina had 4 runs, 6 hits and
made 6 errors while the winners
garnered 11 runs off 13 hits and
only committed 4 misplays. The bat
teries were Lyles and Berry for the
Blue Stockings while Pinkerton
started on the mound for Carolina.
lie was relieved in the 6th by Ru
dpiph who gave way to Driver in
the 8th. Tate lid the Gamecock re
celving.
The loss was not a serious one
and Coach Smith will still be able
to pilot his team to the state title.
The game was very evidently in
fluenced by the decisions of the
umpire who very definitely lacked
experience. Also a contributing fac
tor was the poor condition of the
PC diamond. In comparison, our
own Davis field is a veritable Yan
kee stadium.
The hitting honors were evenly
divided for the victors with Berry
an( Wilson both hitting safely three
times. Blackmon led the Bird hats
men with two bingles for four
trips.
It was sweet revenge for the
country bumpkins as they suffered
a 14-7 trouncing at the hands of the
local lads here Monday. It was evi
dent that they had their sights for
this game and they went about It
in a business like manner. The
Roosters started off very strong
and until the disastrous 5th inning
led by the seemingly comfortable
margin of 3-2. li the fifth PC (1om
hinted 5 hits with a deciding error
to push 5 runts across the Plate
After the merry-go-round stoppeI
they went on to sew the game uip
with 4 additional runs in the three
remaining cantos.
The lineups were as follows:
South Carolina (4) Pinkerton p.
