Thursday, Janliary IS, 1927 THE TAR HEEL Page Three Reporter Expects Much From Carolina's Stable of Boxers Historical Survey of Prize Fighting Sport Discloses Rapid Growth and Interest In the Gentle Art. f ( The Carolina boxing team will meet the University of Florida boxers in the first match of the season in the Tin Can on January 17. (By Henry C. Lay) Boxing was first organized at the University in the spring of 1924. The manly sport of self defense has led somewhat of a checkered career. It was first coached by a student, who had genuine love for the sport and desired to see boxing put on a sound basis at Carolina. For the last ' two seasons the team has been under the direction of a regular coach, who, although a student in the University, devot ed a large part of his time to" the sport. In 1924 Ad Warren gathered around him a team of ring art ists, which after working hard to get into shape made their de but with the Fort Bragg stable of fighters. At this meet the Tar Heels won two bouts to Fort Bragg's one, while three of the fights were draws. The new sport was received very well by the student body and Univer sity officials. Ad Warren, al though only a freshman, was elected to captain the aggrega tion and Bill Cox was manager. Too much cannot be said of the pioneer worksof Bill Cox. It was he who helped get the team or ganized and arranged for equip ment and other necessary arti cles of the fight game. Those who composed the first boxing team at the University were: Ray Quinn, Wilson; Captain K. 0. Warren, Edwards iJVIike Hall, Wilmington ; D. V. Gray, New Bern; C. G. Smith, Elmhurst, Long Island; and Venus Jones, Elizabeth City . '24-'25 Season The 1924-25 schedule consist ed of meets with Fort Bragg, V. M. I., Washington and Lee, and the University of Virginia. Although the team was defeated in all their meets they put up good scraps and were quite an improvement over the 1924 squad. K. O. Warren confined his usual winning streak by win ning all of his bouts either by knock outs or judges decisions. Tom Gallagher, amateur light weight champion of North Car olina also showed up very well. Members of the squad were: Captain K. O. Warren, Piggy Jarrell, D. V. Gray, Tom Gal lagher, Jim Bullitt, M. K. Spiers. Bill Cox was manager of the team. '25-'26 Season The 1925-26 season marked the debut of Crayton Rowe as coach of the Carolina mittmen. He is one of the cleverest box ers produced in North Carolina and has fought all of his profes sional tilts in the bantamweight class. The new coach inaugur ated a system of mass instruc tion in the manly art with much success Many students took ad vantage of their opportunity without any idea of going out for the team. The squad went through intensive training in the fall and winter quarters in prep aration for matches. Many ex hibition scraps were given be tween halves "of games during the Basketball season. Due to the inability to secure matches only the University of . Virginia and V. P. I. were met during the season. The Cavaliers won their mWf: a-ffoi a Tiarrl fio-Vlt.. wVlilfl - . . .- V J Carolina took the lioooiers into camp with the score of four matches to three. Men on the team Were: Piggy Jarrell, Jo Bobbitt, Ed Butler, Graydon Shuford,; Roy Proffitt, Hugh Jenkins, Moose Tenney, Jim Bul-J litt, S. H. Shaw, and Captain K. 0. Warren. B. C. Wilson was manager. The Team Now The prospects for a successful season this year are very prom ising. Bobbitt Shaw, Butler, Jenkins, Warren, Wike and Cap tain Shuford from last year's squad. Brown, Baird, Rees, Meiggs, and Petree came up from last year's freshman squad and are showing up very well. Other men who are out for the squad are: Nash Johnson, Steve Furches, J J W. Keerans, E. P. Willard, E. W. Carpenter, and D. R." MacGlahon. Competition is very keen for positions on the team and as yet no definite selections have been made. Graydon Shuford is Cap tain of this year's, aggregation and Will Way, Charleston, S. C, manager. The assistant mana gers are Graham Dozier and H. C. Lay; Charlie Grimes and Sim my Cross are sub-assistant man agers. V The Freshmen The Freshman class is this year represented by a hard hit ting bunch of pugilists. Meets are being booked with some of the leading Southern colleges, which will give the Tar Babies plenty of keen competition. In the meantime the "Thirtiers" are training hard and 'should be in tip-top shape for' the vvfirst meet, which will be held in a bout two weeks. Those who are outtfor the freshman team are: Jimmy Miller, M. S. Cohen, R. S. Farriss, F. K. Turner, C. Wrenn, L. D. Bass', R. D. Engel, W. M., Wilson, R. L. Mauney, E. W. Rowe, E. C. Midgett, and W. M. Wilson. : "K. 0." Warren Perhaps the hardest working and most widely known athlete at Carolina is Ad Warren, bet ter known as "K. 0." K. 0. hails from Edwards, N. C. and attended West Point before coming here. He immediately organized a boxing team with the help of Bill Cox and coached it for two years. He is the only man to have the distinction of being captain of a team for three consecutive years. Coach Cray ton Rowe came to the - Hill in 1925 and took over the duties of coach. "Kf 6." now bent his energies towards competing in the national boxing tourna ments. He had worked around gymnasiums in Baltimore and Philadelphia for several sum mers and had swapped kicks with some of the well known pugst So with his hard earned experience he thought that he could "K. 0." some of them, and he did. At the. South Atlantic Boxing Championships held in Balti more last March he piled up a great individual record by win ning both the light heavy weight and heavy weight titles. cS7b Lveivs-oivoes , IHOORVOJUUriD tfftJUI.V.t.MS.OVft $9 Permanent Display STETSON "D" Kluttz Building .ei!sooes Ston In Nr York, Brooklyn VF DIMINUTIVE DRESS FOR GIRLS' TEAM Chapel Hill Basketball Lassies Meet Smithfield Here Saturday. The "High" girls basketball team, with abbreviated uni forms, will play Smithfield Sat urday at 7 :00. The "fighting lassies" under the coaching of Miss Minnie Atkinson are now well organized and capable of furnishing an entertaining per formance. They have played two games this season. Their last game with Hillsboro High was won. Final examinations for , the fall semester in the Chapel Hill school will begin on January 25 and continue through the week. He fought four bouts in two days, getting two decisions and two knockouts. ' He annexed the heavy weight title in the Amateur . Athletic Union's junior national tourney during the latter part of March. "K. 0." missed the light heavy weight by a very close margin, being runner-up in the event. These victories gave him the qualifications to enter the Se nior nationals held1 in Boston during the first week in April. But the incessant battering had undermined his stamina and had likewise made his hands so ten der that he was unable to put up his usual showing and was eliminated in the preliminaries. This year he will go directly to Boston and will be in' the pink of condition. Besides being a boxer of the first rank, "K. O." tussels in the unlimited weight for the wrestling team. He won the cup given last year for the high scorer of the season and is captain of this year's squad. POLITICS NEED A 'CREATIVE SPIRIT' Rollo Walter Brown Talks on Creators to Small Audience. Rollo Walter Brown, speaking before a small group of profes sors and students in Gerrard Hall last Tuesday evening on "The Creative Spirit and the Public," declared that "not only is the creative spirit necessary in the fields of literature and art alone but in all other fields of human endeavor as well. Cer tainly it is time that the creator investigate the field of politics, for there is much to be accom plished." - , Portraying the creator as "a man with a queer twist in his makeup which permits him to see things differently from the ordinary person," Mr. Brown de lighted his audience with hum orous as weir as serious anec dotes concerning the creators that he has known. v Mr. Brown was formerly a professor of English in Harvard University. He , resigned in or der that he might devote more of his time to writing and lectur ing. He is the author of several books including a textbook, "English as it Should be Written." "And God was good to me every day," concludes the poem by John D. Rockefeller, Sr., printed in The American Magazine.
