Alderman Has Eye On Loop Boxing Crown By -BOB WESTERFIELD "Last year this time I wasn't too optimistic over the boxing team," admits coach Jess Alder man, "but this year things are looking good." This is how boxing mentor Alderman feels about his 1949 aggregation of leather push ers. "Everyone has improved over their last year's form," the coach went on, "and the year of experi ence will help a lot." Conference champions Ray Avant* and Pete Campassi are mainstays of the team, which fin ished second to The Citadel in the conference tournament last year. Avant, the 145-pounder, one of the three married men on the squad, has not been working too hard yet due to a back injury, but according to Alderman, he'll soon be back in top fighting condition. Conference champion Campassi at 125 pounds has moved up to the 130-pound division. A hard hitter for his weight, Campassi "looks even more polished than he did a year ago" his coach brags. Grady Decell, who along, with Sylvester Lewis, transferred to Carolina from Ole Miss, will fight at 135 pounds. A smooth boxer and a good hitter, Decell is im proving rapidly under Alderman's experienced eye. Also fighting at 135 is Charlie Bernstein, who was intra-mural F THE RICI FAMOUS FOR HOM Hours - Monday A. BREAKFAST. LUNCH DINNER .

Alderman has a wealth of 155 pounders on the squad, all of which Alderman said, "are pretty good." The coach was pleased with the way Harry Temple, a transfer from Davidson who was ineligible in 1948, is progressing. A tricky boxer, Temple has had a lot of experience in Golden Gloves matches. .

Alderman's counting on this 155-pounder to head this division. Red Douglas adds experience to the division and Charlie Hall, a hard, but inexperienced puncher, rounds out the middleweight list. The big question mark has been the 175-pound bracket, which was vacated by footballer Roy Skinner. Frank Singleton, who, although in experienced, has shown good form in early season practices. The heavyweight division will be capably handled by Bill Rutledge, who appears to have recovered from a football leg injury. Accord ing to Alderman, he is vastly im proved over last year. Another Ole Miss boxer, Sylves ter Lewis, a 165-pounder, was Memphis prep school champ while attending Southside high. He promises to be one of Carolina's better boxers this year.

Explosive Pete Ca Strong Contender By DICK C When Carolina parades its p competition, one of the brig little Pete Campassi, last seas ing champion at 125 pounds. Pete first donned the gloves at Sheppard Field, Texas, in 1945, winning a three-round decision. He went on to win the camp champion ship, adding on the way two of the quickest wins on record, an 11 second and an 18-second kayo. Campassi is a fight fan's delight, continually stalking his opponent and swinging leather from bell to bell. His sharp left jab followed by a fast, hard left hook make him capable of flooring practically any one he might meet in college box img. Jess Alderman, boxing coach, met Campassi and convinced him to come to Carolina with a boling scholarship.

In all his fights Pete has been floored only one time and that time was the first fight that his wife, brother, and mother had seen .him in. Campassi got up and fought his opponent toe-to-toe, and the round ended with Pete on the offensive. This was one of the many times that the little slugger has shown a fighting heart, taking consider able punishment and coming back strong. Campassi will be one of the Camecocks' strongest contendnrs for another conference champion ship and possibly a winner at the national collegiate boxing tourna ment next year. Winter Sports Lapse Sees Interest Shift To Novice Athletes This is the slack season in sports at Carolina but this does not mean that there are no athletics going on around the campus. The Gamecock basketball team has been hard at work for the past month getting ready for its open er tomorrow night. The boxing team likewise has been training madly for the strenuous job it faces beginning in January. The freshman basketball team also has begun workouts and this team may grab the winter sports spotlight at the university. The emphasis at the moment is on intramurals and at least a fourth of the male student body is engaged in some kind of athletic event every week. Davis and Mel ton Fields are covered each after noon with a host of athletes, would-be athletes, and just plain guys out for a little exercise. The gymnasium, however, seems to be the most popular sports arena on the campus, and it is one of the most disregarded. Yet each after noon, apart from the winter physi cal education classes which meet there, the basketball court and the gymnastic equipment is over loaded./ The gymn, an imposing structure of ancient Greek architecture, was built originally for an auditorium. It was abandoned soon after, how ever, because of bad acoustics. Since that time it has served as the headquarters for the physical edu cation department. Several times in the past few years there have been moves on the campus to force the university to build a new gymnasium but uni versity officials have repeatedly refused this request. This year the old building was given a new coat of paint and declared adequate for the demand.

All-State Team Picked By Five School Papers The Gamecock hoped to compile an All-State football team as se 'ected by all of the colleges and universities throughout the state by the first week in December. However, this could not be done because half the schools failed to send in their ballots. The selections shown here are not representative of the state. They were sent in by Wofford, The Citadel, Clemson and Presbyterian only. Newberry, Erskine and Fur man did not- reply to our letter. Sirce All-State teams have al ready been selected by national and local newspapers, the Gamecock feels that it cannot wait any longer for the lagging schools to fall in line, so we are printing this unofficial All-State team. The selections were monopolized by Clemson, who drew six of the first string nominations. Carolina had two, Wofford one and Fur man one. Roger "Red" Wilson, Carolina end; Tom Salisbury, Clemson tackle; Frank Gillespie, Clemson guard; and Clemson back Bobby Gage, were unanimously chosen for the team. As a fitting gesture to "the coach of the year," who did a mar velous job with some fine material, we select Frank Howard, Clemson master-mind, as the coach of this mythical team. The Gamecock's All-State Team: Left End-Rogert Wilson, Uni versity of South Carolina. Left Tackle-Toni Salisbury, Clemson College. Left Guard-Frank Gillespie, Clemson College. Center-Gene Moore, Clemson College. Right Guard-Jim Clary, Wof ford College. Right Tackle-Phil Prince, Clem son College. Right End-Tom Wham, Fur Quarterback-Bobby Gage, Clem Bo1.
