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

great speed in the ring, and pro
vides a difficult, if not almost im
possible, target for his opponents
to swing at.
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.
