RALPH GREGORY Spora. Edior - Paul PhBpe George JoLnon Jerry Rolune. RALPH GREGORY: Hi, Sport! For several years college boxing has been well on its way to suffering a kayo. A few years after the past war several colleges in the South found boxing too expensive to continue and they dropped it as a competitive sport. The movement spread until the majority of colleges in this section had done away with the game. Duke and North Carolina were among the first to do away with boxing in the Southern conference. - Clemson soon followed until today there are only three schools in the conference who still have a team. Besides Carolina they are The Citadel and Maryland. In the Southeastern only LSU is left. Miami and Virginia, both independent schools, make the total number other than USC having teams, five. When Maryland and Miami announced they were con sidering dropping boxing from their athletic program it set up the knockout punch. The rumor started around Columbia that Carolina had already decided to do away with the sport so we .made a check with Coach Rex Enright. He killed all the rumors that the local ring sessions were over. He put the matter en tirely up to the actions of the other schools that now have boxing. If Miami and Maryland do withdraw the sport from their programs it is very likely that Carolina will be forced to do the same. The action of these two schools will deter mine whether or not that knockout punch is delivered. With these two out of the field there would be only three teams left and it would be almost impossible to make up a schedule. Enright is not anxious to do away with the mitt game i unless forced to do so by the actions of these other schools even though boxing is hurting other sports. The popularity of the sport in Columbia makes it a desirable one to retain. s So the future of lonal boxing lies in the decisions that will s be made hundreds of miles from Columbia. 6 INTRAMURAL SUGGESTION The University of North Carolina has an intramural plan 1 that might provide a few ideas for the local intramural de partment. Director Joe Grugan favored a ;imiiar program 1 when we talked to him several months ago with all the stu- U dents in the state participating in a field day. The North Carolina plans call for a sports carnival for i the North Carolina students. More than 300 students par- F ticipated in the gala night which was held for the 10th C straight year. Included in the program were such events as foul shoot ing, badminton, archery, table tennis, mixed volleyball, mixed relays and bait casting. The events were entered by boys and girls. Trophies were awarded on a team and individual basis. The events were run off in little more than two hours. JUST CHECKIN' . .. Intramural track meet has been moved up from May 1 to May 9 to avoid conflict with University Day. Softball games scheduled for that day were also postponed. . . . Coach Ted Petoskey's early season estimate of his pitching staff has stood up pretty well under later games. To date the earned run average for the entire staff is just 2.6. The most earned runs allowed were four against Wake Forest.... Catcher Emmett Dietz, who has just begun to belt the ball, was stunned when he slid into third base during the first inning of the Davidson game. The base paths of the David son field were rather well hardened, enough so to lay DietZ out of the game. He was rushed to the Davidson infirmary, where it was found he had only been stunned.

Shea, Latorre Named Ca tains Of '52 Gridders Stephens Wins Blocking Award Walter Shea of Brooklyn, N. Y., and John Latorre of Charleston were elected co-captains of the 1952 football team Wednesday. The two were named by vote of the team members who also selected Paul Stephens as winner of the Balfour award for the best blocker on the '5r squad. Shea and Latorre are both ends, the former an offensive man and Latorre a defensive standout. Stephens played offensive tackle on the '51 team that won five and lost four. Coach Rex Enright praised the selections. "The choices were very good. Each of those chosen is a fine boy and deserving of the honor," he said. :ALIFoRNIA ION OF HIGHWAYS .now $325 ree re Wide TO START. mna. EARLY RAISE UPON TODAY?
