Carolina Bo: Headed By ] By BOB WE Ray Avant, 145-pound chat ence and captain of this yet nucleus around which coach , 1949 aggregation of Gamecocl Avant will be backed up by one of the best collections of fighters in Carolina history. Ten pounds heavier than he was last year when he won the Southern Conference 125-pound crown, speedy Pete Campassi will fight at the 135 pound limit. Campassi, who won most of his fights last year, is ex pected to show even better form than he did a year ago. Two men who were ineligible last year, Grady Decell and Syl vester Lewis, will fight in the 135 and 165-pound classes respective ly. Both men are extremely fast, and combine smooth boxing tech nique with powerful punching when they are in the ring. Lewis, especially, is being counted on to win a conference championship and help the Gamecocks go through a season that might well be the best in history. Another boy who did little fight ing last year, Joe Stringer, will fill Campassi's shoes in the 125 pound class. Joe, who weighed only 118 last year and thus was too light to do much boxing, possesses University WA To Rock Hill I Winthrop College has exter men's Athletic Association at I the annual Play Day to be held The Play Day will consist schools in South Catolina in ball.

Perhaps the most difficult weight at which to fight in the boxing game is the 145-pound class. To get anywhere in this division, a boxer must possess all three of the boxing essentials to a high de gree of perfection: speed, boxing technique, and a knockout punch. Red Douglas who fought at 155 last year will carry the Gamecock banner in this toughest of all weight classes. The only doubtful classes on the 1949 team at this date are the 165 and 175-pound classes. A year ago, these weights were well taken care of by Roy Skinner and Bill Rut ledge, but both of these boys are undecided as to whether they will box this year or not, preferring to concentrate solely on football. Whether Rutledge and Skinner don the gloves or not, the outlook for the Gamecocks boxers is the best in Carolina's history.
