To this wavy-haired, soft-spoken little man with mammoth shoulders and a bull neck, the tough tempo of give and take was second nature. From the very begging Hank Armstrong was always ready. His capacity to keep up the pres sure voodoo-drum rhythm seemed endless. With awe, the public had watched him barrel his way to three championships, one after an other—featherweight, welterweight and lightweight. His feat wrought such havoc that rules were put in to make impossible its duplication. By 1940 Henry had given up his featherweight title and lost his lightweight title to Fritizie Zivic. But with his remaining title (wel terweight) he was as much of a warrior as ever. From east to west and back again, down to Havana, up and over to London, they were allowed to take their best shot at Armstrong’s welterweight title— and they all failed. In Henry’s lexicon as 147-pound champion, there was no such phrase as non-title. He was too little a man to pile on poundage for over- the-weight fighting. And besides, he had never lost as a welter. Just another night’s work, or so it seemed, as he trod through the still half-empty corridors towards the dressing room at 8:00 o’clock for his fifteen-round fight with Fritzie Zivic, flat-nosed ring gypsy from Pittsburgh. With a detached calm he walk ed into his dres.sing room and stretched out o-n the long table. Over in the other room Fritzie Zivic was grinning, cackling, over- ORANGEBURG, S. C., Nov. 8— Eight members of the Charlotte College geology class set out early this morning on an educational ex pedition into South Carolina for the purpose of observing local geologi cal phenomena. Under the leader ship of Dr. Herbert Heckenbleik ner, professor of geology at Char lotte College, the group charted its course through Kershaw, Camden, and Columbia and set Orangeburg as its destination. The three-automobile caravan paused outside Kershaw to explore an abandoned quarry in the hope of finding interesting specimens of rock formations. It then proceeded south, stopping again at Forty- Acre Rock, a huge exposure of con glomerate formation. Dr. Hecken bleikner explained the process of weathering that the mass of rock had undergone and pointed out an example of vegetation-supporting topsoil formed by the rock’s decom position. The expedition rested and shared its lunch with a swarm of yellow- jackets between Camden and Col umbia; it then resumed its itinerary and proceeded into Orangeburg with only one or two minor detours. Members of the party have se cured lodging here in Orangeburg for tonight. In the morning they expect to roam this locale for furth er geological observations, includ ing the colorful clay pit in Orange burg County. They will terminate their expedition at the beautiful Poinsett State Park, the entrance of which lies approximately thir teen miles south of Sumter, and re turn home to Charlotte. joyed at being in the Garden and fighting for the title. Six months ago he had never expected to be there. Lucky thing Mike Jacobs had come out to Pittsburgh to see Zivic fight Sammy Angott. He had gone around Angott like a cooper around a barrel, and Mike had liked it. Mike had come into his dressing room and said, ‘“Do you want to fight Armstrong?” And here they were. The bout got started, and Zivic was going inside aggressively.’ “Wait awhile,” a ringsider said. Then in the third, fourth, and fifth rounds, Henry's attack began to move—bomb, bomb, bomb. In the third round the champion had been nicked over the eye, and the flesh in his eye ripped open. Eventually the other eyebrow started to split as Fritizie brought in accurate uppercuts. Armstrong was now missing more punches than he landed. And for each miss by Henry, there was a cutting counter by Zivic. Even Armstrong’s energy had a limit, and in the closing seconds of the fifteenth round, he pitched onto his. Without a count, he got shakily to his feet as the bell clanged. There was no suspense awaiting the decision. It was evident that Fritzie Zivic, the fill-in challenger, had won the title.

Kirby Give Report On s Progress Yearbook John Kirby, editor of the Si Si said this week that preparations for the 1958-59 version are off to a good start. He said that members for the Editorial and Business Staffs have already been named. Serving on the editorial staff with Mr. Kirby are Geraldine Loveless, Gary Idol, and Reid Stikeleather. The business staff, headed by Business Manager A1 Palmer, is composed of Bobby Allen, Richard Elmore, Anita Long and Howard Hailey. Miss Mary Fore and Mr. Harper Higgins are advisors. The business staff has requested bids from our local printers. When the bids are received, the contract will then be let, said Kirby. The book itself is of course still in the planning stage, but picture layouts are in progress. Mr. Kirby said that he hopes to initiate some new features into the annual this year in an effort to publish the finest yearbook ever published for C.

One day we had spent about half an hour in silence while perched atop our beds after about a week’s work in the large northern city.
