E MILDER 95', 'V-, MUORELE CHESTERFIELOS THA 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 lid a superb job of calling the bouts. Not one coach or contestant round fault with decisions render ed by these men. Whether these men were excep Lions or whether the boxing offi :ials 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 Erds 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 requirements for officials thereby Aliminating some of the ones that were incapable of making right lecisions. The game improved but is still not up to the expectation that is desirable. The biggest deficiency at the mo nent, especially in local circles, seems to be the lack of competent 3aseball officials. Every game played thus far has for the most part been sloppily officiated. CIGARETTE GE STUDENTS SMOKE, N ANY OTHER CIGARETTE r NATINAL aSaU-...

The Garne N. 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 agalnst 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 of Rusty Stephens, Jim Pinkerton and Jack Couch coupled with fine pitching performances by Frank Sherer, Bill (Amp and Walker An derson have kept the Birds up around the conference top this far. Stephens, in pArticular, has been the shining light of the team's po. 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. Today, Coach Ted Petoskey will probably use Frank Sherer in the box with Cy Szakacsi and Walker Anderson standing by for relief duty. Szakaesi or Anderson should be ready to go against UNC to. morrow. The rest of the Bird lineup will probably be: Barney Dusenbury, ef; Rusty Stephens, 2b; Johnny Sykes, ss; Jim Pinker ton, 36; Jack Couch, c; Red Wil son, If; Harry Parone, rf; and James Rogers, 1b. Frosh Play, To Coach Earl Dunham's frosh haven't been idle while their big brothers have been taking on ill competition.
