Dixie Conference Title
Hinges on Ring Pdirings
TdrheeIs Rated
Pre-Tourney
FdVOrites
By CHICK KENNY

Much interest is centered on
the pairings to be made late to-
day for the first round Of the
Southern Conference boxing tour
ney. The pairings will be made in
a special room at the Capitol
Park Hotel at S o'clock.
For following this important
session, so-called experts Of the
intercollegiate ring game can ar
rive ct some conclusion as to who
looms the pre-tourney favorite.
and the club to defeat for the
mythical title.
Fifty entries are on file at Col
lege Park and Athletic Director
Geary (Swede) Eppley, Maryland
University, who is chairman OF
the boxing committee Of the
Southern Conference, Will pair
these battlers for the opening
round Of the bouts Friday night
in Ritchie Coliseum.
TARHEELS FAVORED
Assisting the Old Line sports
director will be Glenn Thistle
waite, Richmond University; W.
H. Harth, South Carolina, and r.
A. Fetzer, North Carolina, COM
mittee members.
A careful analysis Of the entry
list already released, places North
Carolina University in the unen-
viable spot of pre-tourney favorite
at this time, with The Citadel and
Duke University following in close
order.
Maryland, the defending cham.
pion, with q nlakeShift lineup and
Blackie Pearson, hghtheavy'
weight, on the sidelines, is FAR
from the top in the ratings.
North Carolina may not be the
pre-tourney favorite after the pair
ings. In the tourney the fighters
are not seeded" thus possibly
changing the complex Of the en-
tire event.
For example, should such COM
binations as Joe Murnick. North
Carolina, and Frank jenkins,
South Carolina, clash in the open
ing bout Of the featherweight
division, the two lads with the
best records achieved in dual
meets this season would be forced
to stake their chances in the first
rounds. Both are undefeated to
date.
STERNEST COMPETITION
Then Benny Alperstein, Mary.
land lightweight ace and National
Collegiate champion, is moving
down to feather size and may
battle either Of the above men,
toned pair. jenkins, incidentally,
won the bantam title last year but
has moved up to the feather notch.
A further glance at the list Of
entries reveal that the sternest
competition looms in the lis, 1875,
13S and 155 divisions.
Danny Fartar, Of Duke Univer-
sity, looks an oddS-on choice to top
the field in the 145-pound division,
while Bill CaSSon, Of Clemson, ap.
pears "topS" in the 165-pound
class.
''Swede" Vincent, Duke, head
lines the group in the lightheavy
array. while Hugh Rogers, Of Cita.
del. looks best among the heavy
weights.
Bobby Price, Duke, leads the
way in the lis pound division
with George Dorr of Maryland
and John Hughes Of Clemson Of
Gering the greatest opposition.
Rip Todd, Citadel, and Askin.
Maryland, appear on a par in
the lightweight shuttle, while
Crowell Little, North Carolina,
looks best over Pete Lampesis Of
Citadel.

scoring until the sixth frane when Block scored
another run errors and Block made their final
tally a single by cocki11. q stolen base, and

This Week in

By Robert L. Moody
Mothers Day

Mothers Day
Sunday will be another day that
we shall honor those women to
whom we owe our mortal lives.
Beautiful words and flowers can
not express our appreciation for
the. To those of you who + liv-
ing, we extend our deepest devo-
ton. To the honored dead, we live
as human memorials of their
earthly teachings and labor.
Even in these days of birth con-
troll, both legal and illegal, we re-
peat, in be half of you mothers,
what the angel said to the bles-
sed mother: "Hail thou that are
highly favored, the Lord is with
thee. Blessed art thou amongst
women ard blessed is the fruit of
thy womb"
But our chief desire is that we
have, in this and coming genera
ton, more Jachabed's as Moses
Mother and more Hannah's as
Sammuel's Mother. Ma have fewer
Jezebels. Remember, you Mothers
and potential Mothers, that you
are creating a better or a more
corrupt world. All depends upon
our godly or ungodly training
The sentiments of each of u
hearts may be fourd in the fol
lowing quotation:
"The carnation that I wear for
YOU,
VIII only be a part
Of what this day will mean
for me
The rest is in nv heart"
