Conference on the indoor track idea 11 years ago The games could not have been made the success they have been without the support of the organization but those familiar with the conference also know that they probably would never have been started and might have been dropped had it not been for the faith of Fetzer Nowhere in the United States Is there a man who outranks Coach 'Bob As a track enthusiast- His first lieutenant here at the University of North Carolina Dalt Ranson is another man who almost eats sleeps and talks 'track 24 hours a day Fetzer says there is no sport that can do more to mold a boy into a fine man than track "I believe that any normal boy with patience persistence vision and determination can develop into a creditable performer in some one or more of the 14 or more events usually found at a track meet" said Coach Fetzer OLUMBIA Feb cream of the boxing talent of the Southern Conference will be seen in action here Friday and Saturday February 23-24 in the loop annual ring tournament There is class in every division plenty of punchers in every weight Mittmen in the middleweight group will have to go to town with both gloved hands if they hope to dislodge the crown from Newton Cox of Maryland At the tourney in Columbia last winter Cox overshadowed by the Terrapins left-handed Benny Alperstein and Frank Cro- fin fought his way into the limelight He climaxed his mauling march by scoring a technical knockout over North Carolina's Red Sanders in the finals Sanders is back for another shot at the title and for another shot at Cox Most impres ive of course is Sanders' triumph over Ulrich for the Citadel boxer has won three fights this season via the technical knockout route Victims of Ulrich's rammering rights were Georgia's Stein Tennessee's Doane and Clemson's Rion The last named was undefeated until he stepped Into the ring with Ulrich Aubrey Rion's promising record shows triumphs over Presbyterian's Miami's Stern Virginia Tech's Belmore and South Carolina's Belser Rion has plenty of ring poise a good knowledge of boxing but is cursed with a glass jaw Other contenders for the 165- pound title are Duke's Pete Kirkman victim of a technical knockout delivered by Cox South Carolina's Marion McCarter and Virginia Tech's Kent Belmore ti-GARE MISSING Welterweight wallopers with four 'outstanding contenders will go into the four-posted ring to gain the crown vacated by South Carolina's Allan Legare now fighting legal battles in law school "Simon" Legare (pronounced Legree) outpointed Ed Dickerson of North Carolina in the finals of the 145-pound division in one of the real rip -roar-rousing bouts of the tourney Dickerson who is slated for Phi Beta Kappa is now logically boosted into the number one slot But a trio of trigger-like South Carolina's Willis Beall Citadel's Louis Lempesis and Clem-sons Lauren in an imminent and mauling position each one of whom hopes to turn Legare's trick And on the basis of his season record the erudite Dickerson has cause to be pugilistically worried Although he has garnered ring victories over North Carolina State's Brown and Virginia Tech's Evans and Maryland's Itay Alperstein Dickerson has been defeated by Virginia's Williams and Citadel's Lempesis So number one of the nemesis parade of Dickerson is the Bulldog boxer CILAMPIONS MISSING Pummeling punches from the portside will not trouble the entrants in the senior welterweight division The left-handed Frank Cronin by defeating South Carolina's Jerry Hughes in the finals became the conferente 155-pound champ 1 season Now Cronin is gone and the 155 pounders don't have to worry about unorthodox stances and they have to look out for the aconferente 155-pound champ 1 4 last season 1- Now Cronin is gone and the 155 1 pounders don't have to worry 1 bout unorthodox stances and they have to look out for the 0-- INDIVIDUAL JOB He explained that there Is 'no other sport that emphasizes the individual abilities of A man like track does The boy xvorks in the open air under the most healthful conditions" said Coach Rob "In track there is a wide range of from which a boy can choose those he thinks he would be best in He works as an individual He stands on his own He is not boosted or held back by his teammates unless perhaps its in a relay event anti he measures his own ability against the world 's best performances" Coach Fetzer is a strickler for year-round training by track men He as every man vi ho wants to perform at his best in track in the spring should be careful to stay in tiptop physical trim the year-round National recognition as an authority on track has come In Coach Fetzer and he has served as a memberof the National Collegiate Athletic association's committee on track He also has

since 1922 lie coached football 20 years ago but track is his real lo VP "This year's meet should b- nur best" said Fetzer today 'Many lof the meet champions some of them the record-holders will be back tn seek new laurels There's more interest ton it seems than in several years and all records for entries may be broken" The meet will be run in Woollen gymnasium opened last year and the 10-1ap banked indoor track is as large as any in the United States The plans for the gymnasium 'ere drawn with the indoor games in mind and the facilities afforded for the track and field events are probably not surpassed in the nation An indication of how good the track is was the mile mark of four minutes 16 seconds set by Mason Chronicler of Maryland last year It was the fastest indoor mile listed at
