RUDY THIGPEN, Sports Editor Norma Bergman Fred McAlister Ralph Gregory George LaBruce Dan Donovan James B. Sims Jim Abert 8et's Qe R amAdy *thk Rudy By RUDY THIGPEN ------------------------------------- Tonight in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Jess Alderman's mitt men will take on the LSU Tigers in what should be Carolina's toughest set of matches this season. LSU is a former national champion and now has several contenders in their line-up, Their men are in shape and out for national honors again this year. During the mid-winter sports carnival) j.ust t%re the Sugar Bowl game this year, they defeated the University of Idaho, last year's National champions. All in all the Tigers are rated as one of the best boxing teams in the south, but I wouldn't trade places with one of them tonight for a 4-F draft card. The reason being, Coach Alderman is taking down with him one of the best boxing teams in the history of the Uni versity of South Carolina. The Aldermen defeated the Uni versity of Virginia last week 5 to 3 in their season opener.. Two of these losses were close and could have been called either way. The Gamecocks were also fighting without the services of Chuck Spann, former Southern Conference light heavy champion and quarter finalist in the 1947 National Championship. Chuck became eligible this semester after returning from a tour of duty with the Navy and was looking in tip-top shape in workouts this week. Spann, weighing in at 175, is an aggressive fighter and packs a knock-out punch in his right. He is one of the rough and tumble boys and likes to mix things up. Emmett Gurney is another boy who will leave a vivid impression on the Louisianans. Gurney took his first colleg iate fight last week by scoring an easy decision over Virginia's Masterson who has held the Eastern welterweight champion ship for two years. Billy Williams, one of the best collegiate referees in the business, spoke of Gurney, in a letter to coach Alderman after seeing the Virginia matches, as a boy who will go places this season. And if any one knows-Billy Williams should. Louie Harrelson, heavyweight, is another man who has shown lots of improvement since last season. Harrelson has become a more aggressive fighter and indications are that he should be one of the top contendrs when the Southern Invitational Boxing Tournament rolls around. In defeating Virginia, Carolina defeated a team that rates nearly as high as the Louisianans and according to Coach Alderman his men are in better shape for tonight's fight than they were for the Virginia affair. Added to the fact that all Carolinians anathematize anything with the name "tiger" -the going might be pretty tough for the Bengals in Baton Itouge tonight. Salute to WUSC We would like to take time out at this time and give a salute to a group of men who do a great job but receive very little publicity for their efforts-The sports staff of WUSC, the voice of the Carolina Campus. Tfhis staff is composed of remote Engineers, Jim Davis and Don Blodgett; Technician IEddie Skinner, Spotter W. F. Harden, and announcers, George Sima and our own "Gorgeous" George LaBruce. These men make an honest attempt to carry every home event in the field of sports on the local station, and they have been doing an excellent job. Arrangements are being made to carry the track meets this spring and if the situation can be worked out, this little publicized sport will be available on your radio. About Paskey Ed Paskey, Varsity quarterback on last year's football team is now backfield coach with Hoke-Smith high school in Atlanta, Ga. That makes two former Carolina footballers who are coaching in Atlanta. Bo Hagen, star quarterback on the 1949 squad, is the other one. Paskey was,*chosen by the Pittsburgh Steelers on a pro football dIraft upon his gradu ation. He was also offered a job as assistant backfield coacli with Chattanooga University but turned it down for his pres (nt job. Rumors are that he expects to return to school this summer and do graduate work. Powder Bowl Game The powder-puffs will fly and there'll be a general free for-all Thursday night on Melton Field when the Pi Phi and Tri-Delt sorority football teams clash in their annual Powder Bowl football game. Anything could happen and usually does when these dainty lasses lock grips in a struggle for su Premacy in America's favorite rough and tumble sport. Baseball Coach Ted Petoskey started the difficult task yesterday of rebuilding a baseball team after losing over half of last year's squad through graduation and enlistments in the armed forces. Only 15 men showed up for the first (lay try outs and Coach Petosky is in desperate need of many more Nearly every position in the infield and outfield is open All that is necessary for a try-out is to report to Davis Fieki any afternoon after 1:30 with a glove and pair of tennis shoes. And we had better stop for this time and run try-out, bul first we'll ramble over to the Tri-Delts practice field and set if they will let us try out for their powder bowl team-aftei Gameco Championship Tea First Intram Team In Cai Sponsored B And Intrami By RALPH GREGORY For the first time in Intramural history an All-Star football team was selected this year under the sponsorship of the Gamecock and the Intramural office.

Of Season At i By GEORGE LaBRUCE The University of South Caro lina's boxing team with one win in regular season participation be hind it, will meet the powerful Lou isiana State University team to night at Baton Rouge. After eliminating the first night jitters in the 5-3 win over Virginia, Coach Jess Alderman's boys are expected to be in better shape against L. S. U. than they were against Virginia. In taking the University of Vir ginia's team, Carolina upset one of the best teams in the South. Their Grover Masterson has twice been Eastern Champion welterweight; he lost a decision to Carolina's Em mett Gurney, in the most thrilling match of the evening. During the second round, Masterson was knocked to the canvas twice, but continued fighting a losing battle to the Gamecock battler, who fin ished strong. This was The Aldermen's first win on the road in three years, and Virginia always has a tough team. Entering its regular starting line up, Carolina suffered defeat in only the 125, 130, and 175-pound classes. A slightly different lineup will get the starting bell when Carolina meets the Tigers in Baton Rouge this evening. Campassi will go at 125, George at 130, Davis at 135, Gurney at 145, Briggman. at 155, Douglas at 165, Spann at 175, and Harrelson in the heavyweight spot.
