Rex Williams, olive-skinned South

outpointed Cason of Clemson, ripping
left hooks to the face to earn his
margin, but Ferguson Of Clemson
atoned for that in the following fuss
by flooring Jack Lyons of the Citadel
four times in registering a decision
win.
Lyons PIeases.
The classic-featured Lyons seemed
entirely pleased with his recent trips
to the canvas. smiling genially at the
spectators and winking at the fair
customers. While on his feet he
served to make it interesting for Fer
guson, but his feet failed him too
often
Hugh Rogers, the Citadels heavy
weight mauler. applied his anesthetic

Henderson never was in the run

terrific lacing before Referee Short
ordered the Citadel fighter to cease
firing. Joe sagged into the ropes
from a crushing right and was out on
his feet when the bout mercifully was
halted
Cox was outclassed in every round
by South Cardinals Williams. Only
sporadically did the southpaw Mary

defense.
Alperstein Wins Speedily.
With Aleprstein, however. it was
