o'clock. :

stages tomorrow afternoon and
winds up with the finals tomorrow

Clemson are the pre-tourney favor

horse. The writer Is crossing his
digits and taking fling at North
Carolina to cop the duke.
TWO CHAMPS ON HAND
Defending champions on hand
for the battles are Frank jenkins,
South Carolina bantamweight and
Russell Dorm, of Clemson, 1885,
pound titleholder,
Much interest IS centered on the
115-pound division fuss where the
strongest entry list is generally
conceded to be located. Here such
top-notchers, headed by defending
champion jenkins, line up, which
include Bobby Price of Duke;
George Dorr OF Maryland and
Teddy BoselH. Price and Dorr
hook up tonight. in what promises
to be the headline encounter. In
a dual meet early this season
Price carried off the decision.
Benny Alperstein, Maryland
lightweight and runnerup for the
title last year, has moved down to
the featherweight peg, which
makes him the outstanding per-
former in the division in view Of
the fact that he is the reigning
national collegiate lightweight
champion.

favored in the pairings by draw
ing four byes each in the first
round. The Marylanders are Ma

pounder, Is picked as the class Of
the tourney at his particular

record Of five knockout victories
in six starts for q perfect record,
the Blue Devil slugger will oppose

His closest competitor for the
title is Allen Legare, Of South Car
