OXING Fights 'I Chuck Davis will he one of the I the Maryland Terps in the first re Davis, a 139 pounder, was a finalisi and will figit Gary Fisher tonight. -At A Glance Fall Sporti At Carolin Coach Enright began his 12thl season as football coach and ath letic director at the University. Before the season began Coach' Enright stated, "I don't care if we win every game or lose every game we play, I don't want to see a man on this squad quit for one minute. When the going gets rough, and it appears that every thing-4-40st, then that's the time to go in there and (o something about it." Balka and Gramling were battling it out for the starting position against Wofford. Both boys had battled it out the year before and Balka had started in most of the games in 1951. How ever, this year Gramling came ack and caught fire, winning erths on both the All-State and ll-Southern squads. The Gamecocks downed Wofford n the opening football game 33-0. he Gamecocks showed great ower in the victory andi made inning look easy. Drawvdy went over for the first TD and Gayle err returned a punt 67 yards for nother. Browvn scored from 11 aris out. Again, in the second half, Drawdy hit pay dirt from the one. The final score came on beautiful 34-yard run by little uddy Morrell, the Hartsville flash ho was not even sure of a cholarship when he came to Caro ina. Silas kicked the extra points for the Birds. Bill Wohrman, who, in pre season notices wvas ratedi as one of jhe potential great players to come o Carolina, wvas injured in practice nd did not see action against of ford. The card system, which was to have been working during half time at the Wofford game, failed o materializ,e. More than 100 students hopped chartered train for New York o be on hand for the Carolina Army game. The flagwaving and 1heering proved to be of little value, however, as the Gamecocks went down to a 28-7 defeat before rejuvenated Army team. Army, scoring on the opening kickoff, seemed to take the spirit out of the Carolina lads. Carolina's lone score came on a 27-yard pass play from Quarterback Johnny Gram ing to End Clyde Bennett. The Gamecocks beat Furman. 3ralng's pitchmng arm got a real working out as he threw for forr TD's in the first half to lead the way for a 27-7 victory over the Purple IIurricane. Duke bruised Carolina with a 3-7 wvin and( handed the Caro inians their secondi defeat in four starts. The Blue Devils, ranked sixth in the nation at the time of the game, were too powerful for anyone from South Carolina to handle, but the Game-Lads looked far from bad.

While fans argued as to which team was the underdog in the Big Thursday classic, the Enrighters were as right as ever and trounced the hillbillies from the upland 6-0. A pass play from Gramling to Wil son netted the only TD of the afternoon and the fans from Clem son didn't like the game. On to Virginia-the Oyster Bowl, in which the Virginia Cavaliers were scheduled to lick the stuffings out of the Game cocks, awaited the underdog Game cocks. A while later, however, the Virginia team was glad to let go of a team which scored three touchdowns in as many minutes. Quarterback Dick Balka of Caro lina wvas awvarded the trophy for being the game's outstanding per formier. Balka, with his brilliant passing, started the Birds on the touchdown trail. Meanwhile, the basketball team began practicing.

OPENS W Terps Ready A A Strong Syrao In Orange Bov By Johi Sports The Carolina boxing team will' be out to win the first scheduled match of the year tonight at 8:00 o'clock when the Gamecocks play host to a powerful Maryland team in the U.S.C. ,field house. The Terrapins, who lost by a margin of 41%2 to 3% to the Gamecocks last year, are bringing a stronger team than the Gamecocks conquered last year. Coach Alderman's teams have lost only two matches in the past two years, but will face a team which could easily spoil that im pressive record. In an exhibition match with Fort Jackson before the holidays, the Gamecocks looked up to any favorable ratings given before the match. Out of ten matches, the Gamecocks won nine while one was a non-decision affair. Carrying the heavy burden in the fights tonight will be three returning lettermen and one fresh man. The three veterans of the squad are Emmett Gurney, 147-pound SIBT champ last year; Allen George, 125-pound finalist, and Chuck Davis, another finalist in last year's tournament. The fresh man featuring in the match is Andy Sciabra, 132-pounder, who flattened his Fort Jackson foe in the first round three weeks ago. Gurney is known primarily as a slugging, charging type fighter with a punch in either hand and especially a lethal left hook. But he is also a better-than-average "boxer" and can take punishment as well as give it. In the Fort Jackson bout, Gurney showed good form and won a hard-fought decision over his opponent. To night, however, Gurney will be fighting Bob Theofield who may prove a formidable threat for Gurney's SIBT crown. Theofield, who fought at 139 pounds last season, lost a very close match to Carolina's Chuck Davis last year and looked good when his team tied Syracuse University in the Orange llowl last week. Allen George will battle Gerry Garbor. George is more a boxer than a slugger and he possesses speed and a great deal of en durance; he usually sets the pace which his opponent is to follow. 139-pounder Chuck Davis will face Maryland's Gary Fisher. Davis, who (lid not fight in the Fort Jackson fight, is a senior made it look easy. Halfback Lock hart McLendon suffered a frac tured leg andl was lost for the season. Homecoming Day was a sad coming day as the Gamecocks readied themselves to meet the underrated, underdog University of North Carolina team. By now everyone knows the story of how a freshmen Tar Heel spoiled the (Continued on page 6) a Artist ben on fCah-Jhsnsms , h a ltl hkyls er betrbudn ena ela n maN .1 . .a t . .....e ITH MAY fter Tying use Team ol Match k Ray Editor and will be eligible to box until graduation in February. A left jab is the chief weapon used by Davis and his smooth style is a rarity. Newcomer Andy Sciambra is probably the most talked about boxer on the squad. Since Gurney's reputation has been established, the fans seem to be riding on hopes of another sensation in the boxing circles. They may get just that. Sciambra has speed, confidence, and a wallop in either hand. Not only can he hit, but he has also show;.- up as a very good boxer. His opponent will be one of the most dangerous he is to face this season-Jackie Letzer. Letzer, who has been rated very high on the list of Maryland fighters, upset Eastern Collegiate Champion Art Nelson and lost a very close decision to the national champ. This may be the fight of the night and could turn out to be one of the best ever to be staged in the field house. Other fighters to see action will be Malcolm-Dewitt or Don Fortner, Jack Cassidy or Eddie Fields, and Haywood Davis. Carolina will be without the services of a heavyweight and will forfeit the heavyweight match. There is, however, a possibility that Johnny Stokes will fight at 120 pounds to possibly offset that forfeit if an opponent can be presented by Maryland in the 120 pound class. Tonight's lineup: 125 pounds-Allen George vs. Gerry Garbor. 132 pounds-Andy Sciambra vs. Jackie Letzer. 139 pounds-Chuck Davis vs. Gary Fisher. 147 pounds-Emmett Gurney vs. Bob Theofield. 156 pounds-Malcolm Dewit or Don Fortner vs. Dave Lewis. 165 pounds-Jack Cassidy or Eddie Fields vs. Ronnie Rhodes. 178 pounds-Haywood Davis vs. Dave Ortel.
