Gurney Los Semi-Finals; To Win Oly By LEO MacCOURTNEY Emmet Gurney, junior and pride of the Gamecock pugilists, dropped a close decision to underdog Dick Laforte of Michigan State at the NCAA tournament last Friday night in Madison, Wisconsin. With his hopes for a national collegiate championship went young Gurney's long cherished hopes for a spot on the U. S. Olympic boxing squad. It was more than a mere possibility that he would have made the Olympic team, given half a break. " This was the second time that Gurney's hopes for a national col legiate crown were stifled by a Michigan State opponent. Gurney looked particularly good in the opening round of this year's tournament in whipping Danny Orsak of Louisiana State, and he was ruled a favorite going into the Laforte tussle. But Laforte's capitalizing on a persistent left jab overcame the odds and he moved into the finals of the tournament. Two other South Carolina en tries, Chuck Davis and Allen George were dumped in first round fights last Thursday. George lost to Neil Ofsthun, defending cham pion, although the South Caro linian had dcfeated the Minnesota featherweight in the SIBT two weeks before. Davis was decisioned by Pat Streenan of Wisconsin in the open ing round. The bout was close all the way and could have gone either way, but it seemed that Streenan had the best of it in the infighting and won the match. Frosh To Play Varsity Ball Next Season Southern Conference schools have voted to continue to allow freshmen to play in varsity ath letics until Sept. 1, 1953. Max Farrington, president of the ! fnference and athletic director of George Washington, conducted a mil_poll of the league's schools. Results of the polls were an nounced through the conference commissioner Wallace Wade's of fice. Wade's brief announcement said: "President Max Farrington an nounces that in the recent mail poll, the majority of conference schools voted to defer the return to the freshman rule until Sept. 1, 1953." Wade said he could not reveal how the schools voted. The South enConaference permitted freshmen to play in varsity athletics last season. The conference is expected to take final action on the freshman eligibility rule at its meeting May 8-9.

Prompted by obsolescence and wearing of equipment, experimental studies and economic comparisons were made on the entire process of isolating dyes. Methods in use called for crystallization, filter pressing and tray drying. It was found that a rotary vacuum filter with a continu ous rotary steam tube dryer, air con veyor and a dust collection system reduced costs about $50,000 a year. 2, Production of sodium silicate was to be increased substantially, but the tank-type furnace at the heart of the process proved a bottleneck.
