N : .The vUniveraty. student . body . will ;get its .first glimpse of the 1929 edi tion of -Tar , Heel basketball team to night when the SouthCarolina Game-cocks invade the Tin Can here for ;the first j home, game of. the season. .This battle is the first of two tough ones on deckVthis. week," for the Tar Heels are slated to meet Wake Forest in "Raleigh con "Saturday. . In half a dozen early season en counters the Tar Heels "have played up and down basketball winning two .Southern Conference games after dropping three to Middle Western fives on the holiday trip. ,The other .game uncovered plenty of stuff against Davidson in the " first; "Bigl Five" event of the season. s These two games this week will do much to establish the University tos sers in their places on - both the Southern Conference and "Big Five" ladders. A win over the Gamecocks -will place the Carolina entry in a commanding post in the Southern Con ference with three . wins against no defeats ; and : a victory over: the Dea--cons means -a flying start in the state race. -;' Coach Jim Ashmore is banking on a -young squad this year and a mid get aggregation, if;; you compare it with the lanky clubs that have carried Tar Heel colors in years past. There are four veterans back in togs, but the fifth regular and the reserve links must come from rookie ranks. The quintet that;f aces South Caro lina and Wake Forest .will, probably be much the same that started tne games on the Middle Western trip. Satterfield and Price : may be seen at forward, with Cathey at -center, and Captain Hackney shifted back, to run ning guard. Either :Brown, ; Choate, Marpet, or Smith .will pair with Hackney at guard. All " four are rookies, playing their first varsity season. , MH1EN TO OPEN WITH GAMECOCKS Cancelled , Engagement With Clemson Tigers Gives Boxers Week' of Training. The Tar Heel boxers, champions of . the Southern Conference last year, get an extra week of pre-season train ing before facing the University of South Carolina at Columbia next Saturday night, January 19. This ' extra week of training comes as a result of a cancelled engagement with the Clemson Tigers. The "Tigers were carded to invade the Tin Can here on Saturday of last week, but the South Carolina students returned from Christmas holidays, a week late, and athletic authorities can celled the date with the Tar Heels. Captain Charlie Brown and Archie Allen, both Southern Conference champions in their weights, are the only lettermen to report so far. Cheatham Coley, regular bantani last winter, will don the gloves as soon as he recovars from an attack of in fluenza, but Odell Sapp will not com pete for his light heavyweight berth this season. In less than a week of practice since Christmas holidays the youngsters on the squad have been showing a lot of stuff. Evan Vaughn, a bantam up from last year's freshmen, will give Coley a lot of competition; and John 'Warren and Obie Davis may twin berths before the Washington and Lee -. - - - - , --"meet. . . r ' The outstanding candidates in each weight include Vaughn and Coley, bantamweights; Cummings, : feather weight; Webb and Goodridge, light weights ; Allen and Davis, welter weights; Brown and Presson, middle weights; Warren, light heavyweight; and Mclver, heavyweight. vv The picture of the Woodberry Forest Club for the Yackety Yack will be taken this morning at chapel period on the steps of the Law build ing. This will be the only opportunity to have this picture, so all members of this club be present at that time. GEORGIA HEADS, DIXIE LOOPERS Tar Heels Come Fourth With Two Wins During Middle West Jaunt. - THE SPORT PAN By YARBOROUGH As the third week of the Southern Conference season opensT"followers of Dixie basketball are able to get at least an approximate estimate of the comparative'' strength of court repre sentatives of the South's leading col leges and universities. Throughout the entire Southern loop, there aire evidences of a still more brilliant season in promise for 1929 than in the hard-fought campaigns of last year. The University of Mississippi, Conference Champions for 1928, has a difficult task ahead if it expects to retain its crown for another year. The University of Georgia Bull dogs, winning four games durjng the first week of the season, occupied the topof the rating ladder, although idle throughout last week. The Bulldog lead, however, is not so commanding as a week ago. Georgia Tech, with a brace of wins over Florida, increased its string of successive conference victories to three games to take sec ond place from the North Carolina quintet that contented itself with games outside the conference. The Tar Heels have won their, only con ference engagements, defeating Ken tucky and Tennessee on successive nights while on a recent Middle West ern tour. The University, of Mississippi five, last yearV champions,- made its de but for the year within conference circles during the week decisively to defeat Louisiana State University in two games and demonstrate its potency. The Ole Miss championship squad is intact except for , center, wliere a new-comer apparently fits with machine-like precision. Duke University, baby member of the Conference, made its first start in the ranks against Virginia's Cava liers and lost.. The Blue Devils met the Virginians , as they swung home from a . road trip , that saw them fall disastrously before Georgetown Uni versity and then Navy. ,' Vanderbilt opened its conference season Saturday . night with a decisive win . over the ' Tigers of Sewanee-, an ancient enemy, giving promise of trouble for other conference foes be fore the annual tournament opens. Clemson, after a disastrous road trip the preceding week, advanced on the Florida 'Gator 'stronghold Friday and Saturday, to .win pair of games and. take an even break' for confer ences games. , :. Kentucky has met but one confer? ence opponent, North Carolina, and lost. ' However, the Wildcats showed strength when they ventured into for eign territory Saturday night to de feat Notre Dame, with a close guard ing defense that prove quite effective. The University of Florida ., 'Gators have made six starts this season, and so far have not broken into the win-4 column. North Carolina State, Tennessee, Washington and Lee, Mississippi A. and M., 'Auburn, Alabama, Virginia Poly, Maryland, and South Carolina al were active outside , conference circles during the past week, tuning up for more strenuous games ahead. Alhough the actual champions ' of Southern - Conference basketball are declared and crowned in the annual tournament in Atlanta in March, the seasonal games between conference members serve to give, in some measure, the comparative strength of the "teams contending for Dixie championship honors- The standing of the teams: ' Team V ' Won Lost Georgia 4 0 Georgia Tech ............... - 3 0 Mississippi . 2 . 0 North Carolina .....J...-..L:..... 2 ' 0' r Virginia ...:...;.........-.. .1 v . 0 Vanderbilt 1 0 Tennessee ...... 3. 1 Clemson 4.,:....:..- 2 2 Alabama 1 Tulane :. 1 1 Duke 0 ,1 Kentucky 0 '1 Sewanee , 0 1 Louisiana .' 0 V 2 South Carolina 0 4 Florida '. 1 0 4 SOCCER: .With the great popularity of soccer in the eastern colleges and prepara tory, schools, we are at a loss to un derstand why so little effort has been expended to bring that sport to the University. For a great .many years the game has been played through cut the east; its popularity is , so great that the spoUT has been profes sionalized . and now there are several soccer teams that t play before larger crowds than professional football draws consistently throughout tthe country. . - .Not only is the game one to.be en joyed but it furnishes an "excellent training, ground for those too frail to engage in football. Yet it does not lack, the-' thrill that the "great Amer ican sport" - gives, both participators iftid spectators. The game requires both ability . and the natural love ; of sport that .every- athlete must have. While we are not as familiar with the sport as ?we would like to be, yet we cannot .help but wish for an intro duction of .the sport in the South to a greater extent. Asheville School has had soccer teams for many years and those who have played it are enthu siastic over the prospects of bringing it to Carolina. Another .advantage" that could be well used in connection with this sport is that it is less expensive than football .and there are a great many high schools throughout this state that would adopt the game. With the training they would . get from the game, many boys would make much better athletes' whenv they en ter college , and would furnish much material: for the athletic eams here. WINTER FOOTBALL : Recent news dispatches state that Coaches Collins and Cerney have been re-signed for a period of" years at a higher salary. This is highly grati fying to us, for we have continually urged the retention of these coaches, not that anyone entertained the idea that the Athletic Council would let them go, but to avoid the possibility of allowing- some other institution to get ,them. ; With this announcement the date for the opening of winter, football was announced. Monday the winter grid ders will get H underway. Judging from results, the innovation used by the Carolina coaches" last winter was a complete success. Without a doubt Coaches Collins and Cerney will con tinue their plan. As we have stated before there are several line holes that must be plug ged. No better time could be found than this winter in which material may be developed for these positions. As Coach Collins manages his win ter football program, at least four men will get training for every posi tion! Then too these men will get experience that one only gets from actual combat.- If the winter football season is as successful this year as the 1928 session . was, we have the highest hopes of Carolina producing an even more spectacular and win ning football, outfit this fall. SHIFTING HACKNEY: - v Quite a, bit of ink was spread over the newspapers when - Ruf e Hackney, captain of the -1929 Tar Heel quintet was shifted to guard. Again the pa pers blare forth with announcements that he lias been shifted back to for ward. ' Whatever position the Durham boy may be playing he is sure to come through and deliver. When he is playing a guard position he usually takes the best forward on . the oppos ing team to guard. His opponent seldom' breaks loose for a score. When he , is paired with another bur- ham boy, Henry Satterfield, he is a threat every minute of the game. In fact the two rather small Carolina forwards are hard to beat. . They work with clocklike precision and when they get going they sink goals with the same precision. Seven ' European . countries were visited during the past summer by the. Yale University Glee Club. The tour was planned in cooperation with the Intercollegiate Glee Club Council of the : United States, which has a membership of 236 organizations. Harvard University Glee Club visited some of the Countries of Europe in 1921, but-Yale is sard to be the first university to send a glee : club to Sweden and Germany. The club was greeted with great enthusiasm every where, and in many places - it was given an official welcome. School Life. ' MEET OXFORD E THIS AFTERNOON Will Be Last High School Game Before Tar Babies x Open Regular Season. CoachBelding's freshmen will open their home season here this afternoon at 4 o'clock with" Oxford High. This game, which is the second of the year for the Tar Babies, was scheduled to be the curtain raiser for the varsity game with the University of South Carolina, but was . moved up to this afternoon due to the conflict with the annual football banquet. The game will bethe last tilt with a high school aggregation before the freshmen open their -regular schedule with other freshmen teams. The next fray on the schedule will be "played in Raleigh Saturday night before the Carolina Wake Forest 'game The. frosh game will be against the Baby Deacons. Little is known of the strength of the Oxford team but it is fairly safe to predict an easy win for the fresh men. No real comparison can be made between the Tar Babies and the Baby Deacons since ,the Carolina first year men 'have not yet met with a strong team. However Wake Forest has played the State College frosh and on a basis of their showing in this game, they should . not furnish very strong opposition to Belding's charges. . - Stiff practice sessions have been held every flight . this week and the coaches are getting the team lined up somewhat more than they had it when they played Durham High last ,week. Greene, Moore, Sachs, and Johnson have shown ability - at forward and should develop before the season is ended. Reid and Bill uggs are the leading candidates for s the y center position. Hutchison and Alexander seem to be the best of the lot at guard right now. However -there are quite a few men. out for.thee two places who should give them a fight as the season goes on. Much, time is being devoted '.to developing teamwork and when the frosh take the floor this afternoon, they should show a smooth running aggregation. ReigePs Stunt Is Duplicate of One By Carolina Player While all the football fans in the country were stalking about the fam ous run in the , wrong direction by Reigels, a few fans who were present at the Carolina-Virginia game in 1926 were recalling a play made by Tom : Young which was similar to that of Reigels. , Near the end of the first quarter of this game Virginia punted to the Tar Heels on their., own forty-five yard line. Foard circled end to put the ball in, midfield as the quarter ended. During the intermission the goals were changed. After two plays Through the line had failed at the be ginning x)f the second period, ,Ox Shuford dropped ,-back to punt, t Ab ner, Virginia's left end, succeeded in blocking the punt and the ball went straight up in the , air. Tom Young was the first man to .reach ; the ball after it had struck the ground ; and" bounded towards the sideline. In his confusion Tom scooped the ball up and' started toward the wrong goal. However, Young was not the only man who was confused on the play, for several Virginia . players started out after him. After he had covered about fifteen yards, Abner caught him andr downed him with a hard tackle. Since this play was made on the fourth down, Virginia got the ball and a few minutes later was, in posi tion to dropkick the field goal which gave her a three to nothing victory. Those fans who recall the incident are wondering what might have hap pened if the Virginians' Tiad; not been as badly confused as Young.
