FINEST LIAN OUTH C ter Restaurant klS STREET ng Ma dule Till Next Game r, Chuck Spann, eets Harrelson won that fight. Moving pictures of the fight showed that it could have gone either way. This was his only set-back that year in the light-heavyweight division. He lost his first fight of the year be cause he tried to shed 10 pounds to get down to the weight limit of a middle-weight. After this he quit trying to lose weight and stuck to the light-heavyweight class. After the boxing season of that year, Spann packed away his gloves and headed for the Navy. He did little boxing while in the Navy since most of his time was spent at sea. He served as an Ensign in the Naval Air Force and was assighed to a carrier. At one time he spent eight months 1 riding the waves. Spann will not be eligible until next semester, and will miss the opening bout against the Univer sity of Virginia in Charlottesville, Jan. 29. He should be ready when the Birds take on L.S.U. Feb. 9. He learned a lot about boxing while attending high school in Plant City, Florida, but gives plenty of credit to Coach Jess Alderman and a former boxer at Carolina by the name of Ray Avant. Avant was on the '47 team, and pugilist fans will re member him as a knock-out artist. In tonight's intra-sauad match. Spann will take on Howard Col lins, a highly rated freshman. This will be Spann's first appearance here since he entered the Navy. Coach Jess Alderman describes Chuck as a smart fighter, with plenty of ring "know how." Spann is the kind of fighter who likes to mix it up, and throws a deadly left hand He tips the scales at 175, and has never been knocked out. Eas tches Ii Frosh Record Reaches 4 Wins And 3 Losses The "Biddies," Carolina's fresh man basketball team, brought their seasori record up to four victories against three losses Wednesday night by defeating Florence High School, 74-SU.

Field Regular Day 1 And Complete By GEORGE LaBRUCE Boxing fans will see a kind of boxing show never before shown here, tonight at 8:00 p. m. in the Field house, when the leather push ing Gamecocks have their first open matches of the season. This affair will be similar to a regular day in the training of a fighter, with rope-skipping, shadow boxing, and other exercises used in conditioning. These exercises will go on simultaneously with the sparring, just as it does in train ing. Coach Jess Alderman said this is a side of the fight business that most people never see, and consequently they do not know just what goes on before their favorite boy climbs through the ropes to do battle with his opponent. The purpose of these matches is to break in the new men on the squad to the ring. The tentative schedule has each man shadow boxing two rounds, skipping rope two rounds, and then entering the ring to fight for two rounds.

With this in mind, the show promises to be a good one. Chris Hitopoulas, one of the team managers, said the boys are aggressive and eager, in good shape, and should go all the way and finish strong. The squad is well filled out this season, some 18 strong, with two returning champions from the Southern Invitatiortal Tournament, Pete Campassi, 122, and Jim Briggman, 155. Both boys are very fast and are expected to retain their titles this year. More power comes from Chuck Davis, the 185 pound ace, who didn't lose a fight as a frosh. Davis is a stickler for training and precision and will be a man to watch this year. Emmett Gurney, welterweight, is a promis ing freshman, along with 'light heavyweight Stanley Hamilton.
