Southei Intramura Meet Wedi By L. C. TANKERSLEY Intramural tracksters of both the Independent and Fraternity Leagues will compete Wednesday for the coveted championship cup, the "Farr Miler," presented an nually by James Farr to the fast est mile runner in intramural track. Lambda Chi's Freddy Com pher won the trophy last year by making the run in 5:13.0. In the other events of the day, only the fraternity teams will take part since the Independents have not entered teams. Proceedings will begin at 2 p. m. at Melton Field with the broad jump, shot put and high jump. Then, in order, will come the 220-yard low hurdles, 100-yard dash, 440-yard run, 220 yard dash, 440-yard relay, and the 880-yard run. Immediately after these events, the mile run for the trophy will take place. The meet will end with the running of the mile relay. Joe Grugan, director of intra mural athletics, urges that the Independents organize teams for the meet next year so the two leagues can compete in track as they do in other intramural sports.

Another exhibi- t tion with Jackson will probably C be played Saturday. ij "At present, it looks like Tom h Clark has sewed up the third base position," Petoskey said. "He has b showed that he has a fine throw- d ing arm, and until someone better o shows up, he's my third baseman. i "First base has developed into a battle between Lloyd Chinnes, ii John Szakacsi, Donnie Rish, and F Walt Shea," the coach continued. h "Chinnes appears to have the in- t: side track despite his lack of t] height." n Roger "Red" Wilson has been A shifted from left to center field to 'I replace Barney Dusenbury who did F not report for baseball this Spring.

The Gamecocks went into the tournament without the services of ace 125-pounder Gregg Hito poulos, their only unbeaten man, who has been laid up in the in firmary all this week. However, the Birds may spring a few surprises, and darkhorses like Pete Campassi, Louis Harrel son, Jim Briggman, and Elerson Fowler are regarded as most likely to be around when favored LSU leads a seven-school field Into the finals. Tickets Tickets for the semi-final and rinal bouts are still available, and may be purchased at the university rield house ticket office today and tomorrow. The ticket office closes at 5 p. m., but any tickets that are still available will be placed )n sale at the entrances to the rield house. The tournament is sponsored by ;he Southern Invitational Boxing Association of which Col. Bob rones of Clemson is commissioner.

The SIBA was formed shortly after last year's tourna ment ended, when it was decided to make the Southern Invitational a permanent event. Besides Carolina and LSU, other schools participating are: The Citadel, Maryland, Virginia Tech, East Carolina Teachers, Miami, and Mississippi Southern which sent only two fighters. Jess Alderman's boys finished their regular season last Thursday rUght, tying the' University of Miami 4-4, in spite of two for feited bouts. This gave them a 2-4-1 record for the season which saw the squad injury-ridden from start to finish. Heavyweight Bill Rutledge and 125-pound, 1949 finalist Pete Campassi were out of action most of the year. Winners in the Miami bouts were Hitopoulos, Fowler, Brigg man, and Harrelson; all of whom gained hard-fought victories. The surprise of the night, however, came in the light-heavyweight match, an exhibition between Miami's national champion Carl Bernardo and Carolina transfer student Tony Garafola. After waltzing lightly around the ring several times, Garafola ripped out of a deceptive crouch and knocked Bernardo to the ropes time and again with a flurry of flying fists that left the crowd breathless and Jess Alderman with premonitions of a rosy future.
