R ECI (HSTRRLD.T I Boxing Referees Do Good Job, Top College Officials' By DON BROWN "The majority of referees and judges are honest but incompe tent," said Grantland Rice in his syndicated column on April 30. This statement brings to our at tention the Southern Invitational Boxing Tournament held recently in the field house. During these fights, which were all vigorous and fast, the referees and judges did a superb job of calling the bouts. Not one coach or contestant found fault with decisions render ed by these men. Whether these men were excep tions or whether the boxing offi cials in the collegiate circle are becoming better, it .would be hard to say, but there is an indication that the collegiate boxing officials are attempting to raise the stand ards and calibre of their referees and judges. If the other sports officials would attempt to clean-up their respective games, sports in South Carolina and the south in general would be more wholesome and en joyable. Football is especially lax in their officials. During the Fall of 1948, there was an attempt by the National Athletic Association to boost the requizements for officials thereby eliminating some of the ones that were incapable of making right 'decisions. The game improved but is still not up to the expectation that is desirable. The biggest deficiency at the mo ment, especially in local circles, seems to be the lack of competent baseball officials. Every game played thus far has for the most part been sloppily officiated.

C., tomorrow to met the University of North Carolina. These two games, Duke and UNC, should either make or break the Gamecocks' chances for a con. ference championship. Carolina went agalniat Duke with a 5-1, won and lost record. It opened up with a 7-3 win over Michigan State, but lost the see. ond game 5-3. Then came four straight wins-a double win over Duke, 7-6 and 4-3; 4-3 over Geor. gia at Athens and 10-8 over David. son here. The brilliant and timely hitting i of Rusty Stephens, Jim Pinkerton and Jack Couch coupled with fine pitching performances by Frank Sherer, Bill 4trmp and Walker An, derson have kept the Birds up around the conference top this far. Stephens, in particular, has been I the shining light of the team's po i tent offense. Counted upon as merely a fill-in as the season open. ed, Steph'ens has surprised every. - one with his ste'ady, heads-up field. ing and better-than-average hit. ting. L Today, Coach Ted Petoskey will > probably use Frank Sherer in the box with Cy Szakacsi and Walker Anderson standing by for relief duty. Szakacsi or Anderson should I be ready to go against UNC to. morrow. The rest of the Bird I lineup will probably be: Barney Dusenbury, cf; Rusty Stephens, 2b; Johnny Sykes, as; Jim Pinker. t ton, 36; Jack Couch, c; Red Wil soin, lf; Harry Parone, rf; and g James Rogers, 1b.
