Undefeated in four meets this
season, Columbus University's fast
moving boxing team will put its
record at stake tonight at Joe
Turner's Arena, where the battling
"Discoverers" are scheduled to en-
gage the undefeated sluggers of
Citadel College.
Coming here with three wins
already registered this season, the
South CarolinianS stack up as a
real test for the local battlerS, and
the bout tonight promises to be a
repeater of the one Friday against
King College which, after the final
bell, found the fans rising to their
feet screaming for more.

far this season, the Charleston
fighters hold victories over the
University of Georgia, South Caro-
lima and Tennessee, all by the score
of 5-3. After its meeting with Co.
lumbus tonight the Citadel battlers
will move on to West Point, where
they will meet the Army.
Grimm to Fight
Bobby Grimm, Columbus Uni
verSity's battling 175-pounder, alb.
sent from last weeks meet against

onto the floor twice. Undefeated |
in three years of college boxing,
Carlos, terrific puncher, likes
to mix it up and can give and
take as we'll. Schlaifer, with two
knockouts to his credit this sea-
