, Thursday, February 7, 1929 T HE TAR HE EL Paire Fire THE SPORT PAN By YARBOROUGH SOUTHERN CONFERENCE RULES The Southern Conference states very definitely that "each. institution shall observe carefully the rules of fairness and good sportsmanship." As the University of North Carolina is a member of this conference, there fore it seems that ttie students at the University are necessarily members of the same conference. Placing this responsibility on the students it does seem that they can observe these rules insofar as they regard sports manship. Further the Conference states that Southern Conference box ing is to be governed by the rules of the National Collegiate Athletic As sociation. This association rules that during the progress of a bout there is to be no cheering. Only on occasions have the students here failed to ob serve this rule. But the rule concern ing good sportsmanship was most flagrantly violated Monday night. It became necessary for the Director of Athletics to appeal to the spectators to remember that the visiting teams were "guests of the University." Without a doubt the howling that fol lowed the sixth bout of the evening is the greatest blow that 'clean ath letics has ever suffered here. Nothing marks the degeneration of athletics more than the booing of ' the rulings of officials. Few real athletes engage in such. When they do, it is because they are carried away with their enthusiasm. But the non-athlete is seldom so far carried away by his enthusiasm that he forgets to conduct himself as a, gen tleman should. The howling has been done, there is nothing that we can do to recall the effects of that yelling. But every man .who expects to attend the Virginia matches can certainly be with that team and fight . cleanly. We can cheer them, but there should never be the occasion for such a per formance as occurred Monday night. COACH ED BUTLER x Ed Butler;-former captain of the Carolina pugilists, has turned out one good team. He had a few veterans returning, but without letting that fact make the team too cocky he Started to , work, and now we believe that Carolina has the best boxing team in the South. There are few men who can mix gloves on equal terms with Vaughn, Sheffield, Good rich, Allen, . and Brown. Those boys are good fighters; from our; knowl edge of boxing they are just about as good as any the South lias boasted in amateur circles since boxing be came a recognized conference sport. Davis and Warren are, good too, but Obie usually draws a man weighing about twenty pounds more than he does and that handicap is almost too much. John naturally draws the toughest of , the lot. A heavy fight h is always a fight, and Warren has his hands full when he steps into the Ting. ' Coach Quinlan has been working with the boxers and wrestlers. Giv ing Ed Butler a, great deal of the credit for the success of the Caro lina mittmen, yet one, cannot easily overlook "Quinnie." He has turned out a championship wrestling team, and now it looks as if he is going in for double championships boxing and wrestling. THE QUINTET Since the 16-point defeat of the Tar Heel five by Duke Saturday night the chances of the Heels winning the tournament seem slim. But one can easily recall the year when Carolina met rather rough sledding in North Carolina but managed to cop the crown at Atlanta. While we are willing to admit that the Devils have a good team, still we think that there will be a different story when the two teams hook; lip again. In fact we believe that; after Croson gets over his flurry of shooting that the Devils will settle down and just be ' an ordinary basketball team. Some times when youngsters step into var sity competition they go like a house afire, but after, running against sev eral tough teams they begin to show the effects of their hard work. Croson may be a wonder. He was HEELS JUMP TO FOmTH PLACE IN CONFERENCE RACE Has Standing of Seven Victories and Two Defeats; Tech ; Still Leading. DRY CLEANERS' CONTEST IS OFF TO GOOD START Campaign Manager Is Kept Busy With Information- Seeking Crowds. Southern Conference basketball continues to bask in the limelight .of athletic interests throughout Dixie. With the ' steadily approaching At lanta Tournament, the barometer of club ratings continues to fluctuate as each successive week of intra-conf er ence games closes. Pavorites in Southern Conference basketball stood out more clearly at the end of last week's play, a bare four weeks before the annual tournament championship, but Georgia Tech and "Washington and Lee alone remained in the undefeated class.-- North Carolina's record of Confer ence engagements last week shows successive victories over Virginia and V. P. I., and a defeat by Duke. The outcome, of last week's play places Carolina in fourth place in ' team standings, with seven Conference vic tories and two defeats. The Tar Heels embarked last -night for a northern trip which will, include two important Southern Conferences con gests with Virginia and Maryland; Saturday night will find the Phan toms playing out of the Southern loop, engaging Princeton. During last week, nearly every team in the Conference saw action at least once, with Georgia Tech and Duke coming to the front. However, Duke's stock seems to have reached the point of inflation when the Blue Devils beat Carolina, for the Duke men suffered defeat at the hands of Georgia in their southern tour this week. Tulane and the University of Mississippi, both rated as real, were idle, but are encountering stern tests this week. North Carolina, North Carolina : State, and Alabama were among the most active members in the conference, but each faltered once. - The undefeated " leaders, Georgia Tech. and Washington and Lee, won their solo starts in, handy fashion by turning back Vanderbilt and Mary land respectively. The following is the record of games won and lost by Southern basketball teams, in intra-conf erence competition: Team - Won Georgia Tech :7 W. and L.

But then there are a lot of things those officials don't see. Wichita Eagle. ans excellent player some four years ago when he played in prep school. If we remember correctly he had Coach Sanborn, tutor of one of Caro lina's championship teams, as his mentor at that time. At the begin ning of the season it' was said in Durham to "wait until Croson is eli gible." Everyone waited. Once he was eligible he started out to show them that they had not waited for nothing. But all in all, Croson or no Croson, we're expecting the Heels to win in the next meeting with Duke. The Carolina Dry Cleaners' big contest for sale of coupon books re deemable in trade at their establish ment, which will continue until March 23 and wliich win net $1821 in prizes to -winners, got off to a bang-up start yesterday. John W. 'Caff ey, who is managing the contest for the local firm, occu pied his campaign headquarters a bove Sutton's Drug Store, and all day there was a steady stream of in quirersstudents and - townspeople alike seeking information and en rolling in the big campaign. Much Interest Shown From yesterday's start it would ap pear that there are likely to be an unusually large number of contes tants and rather keen competition in haranguing students and local people to buy coupons. The local firm has made the con test well worth while. A total of ten prizes will be awarded, including a new Big Six' Pontiac automobile, a new Ford Tudor Sedan, an Atwater Kent radio set, and a number of cash prizes. And besides all this, cash commissions will be given to all active contestants who do not win a prize. How to Enter The campaign is open to men and women, married or single, living in the vicinity of Chapel Hill, and to all University students. All that is necessary to enter the contest is to fill but the coupon in the advertise ment in this issue and take or send it to the campaign department over Sutton's, Drug Store, where supplies will be furnished free. Campaign Rules Contestants may sell coupon books to anyone and anywhere and as many to one person as they can. They may have as many friends to help theni as they may get. Votes once issued to the credit of any one contestant can not be transferred to the credit of another. Early Work Counts Prizes will be awarded on a basis of votes received so many votes be iner eiven for each coupon sale. The management has urged that every body interested get to work in the beginning, because votes count more at that stage of the campaign. For instance, there will be four periods in the campaign, and at the beginning ,a sale of a $10 book will count 50,000 votes and at the end the same sale will only count 10,000 votes. The coupon books themselves will be sold at a 5 per cent discount and will be good for redemption at the Carolina Dry Cleaners on any class of dry cleaning, pressing, dyeing, and any work done by the establishment. Raleigh Alumni Club To Entertain Loopers The Carolina basketball team will be entertained by the Raleigh Alumni Club late Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 13, just before the Carolina-State game that night, according to J. Maryon Saunders, General Secretary of the Alumni Asociation, who recen tly received word of the invitation from Dr. A. S. Root, president of the Raleigh club. . Following this meeting of the Ra leigh club, Wednesday the Board of Directors of the General Alumni As sociation will hold a meeting Thurs day morning over which W. T. Shore, newly elected president, will preside. This is' the first meeting that has been'; held since Dr. Shore has been in office. Yesterday morning the Tar Baby basketball team left the Hill on their annual trip into Virginia. The trip will last the remainder of this week and during this time the freshmen will play four games with some of the strongest teams in Virginia. Last night the freshmen of Wash ington and Lee furnished the oppo sition. The Generals are reputed to have one of the stongest aggregations in the Old Dominion. . Tonight the freshmen move up to V. ,MV I. where they will engage their freshman team. Tomorrow will see Coach; Belding's men swing into action against the strong V. P. I. freshmen. This will be the second time this season that these two teams have met and the Tar Babies will enter the fray with the assurance of having already downed the Cadets once. However, this game will be no easy battle since the Carolina frosh experienced quite a bit of difficulty, in defeating the V. P. I boys down here last week. Saturday night will bring the trip to a close with the Carolina freshmen meeting either the Virginia freshmen or the strong Augusta Military Aca demy five. ; Twelve men made the trip besides Manager Mac Gray and Coach Beld ing. Five forwards, Greene, Moore, Sachs, Johnson, and Brooker, were taken. Reid, Myers and Hendliri, centers, and Hutchinson, Alexander, Bremer, arid Yost, guards make iip the rest of the team. Brooker, Hend liri arid Bremer are newcomers on the team and will be watched with in terest. .VV'- ,,,, 'y J- : ,.V The Tar. Babies start their trip with an enviable record. They record ed wihs' 6verStaie, Wake Forest, Oak Ridge, arid V. P. I: arid quite a few other aggregations. Their record is marred by bniybne defeat, suffered in tnteir last game. The Duke Blue Imps riose'd out a win bver them' in a game which was very close and de cided only after ah extra period had been played . After they return from the four game jaunt, the Tar Babies have re turn games scheduled with State Col lege, Duke, arid Wake Forest. There is a possibility that others may be added before the season is ended. TAR HEEL MILER WILL MEET FINN Two Other Dixie Milers Are Entered With Elliott, For mer Carolina Miler. DEACON PLAYERS ATTACK REFEREE Assault on Official after Rich mond Game Slay Cause Athletic Break. Schwartz To Take Over Coaching Job Of University Frosh Lester Belding Has Resigned; Enright Probably Next With Schwartz as Assistant. Wake Forest basketball - players created quite a sensation up at Rich mond Tuesday night when they at tacked James R. (Sleepy) Holliday. referee of that night's .Wake Forest Richmond University game. Holli day had also officiated at the Wake Forest-Hampden Sidney . game on Monday night, which the Deacons won. At the Richmond came, which Richmond won, the Deacons first be came angry when Holliday removed two Wake Forest men from the game, Al Dowtin, captain and forward, and Hal Weir, guard. ;. They especially resented this as Holliday had, the night previous, ejected two of their players from the Hampden Sidney game. The report is that the Wake Forest players after the game followed Holli day to the basement of the gymna sium where they began to make re marks to him about his refereeing. Finally, one of the Deacons snatched off his glasses, and several of them are alleged to have attacked him. Al though Holliday did not go to a hos pital it is said that he was badly beaten up. The Deacons are scheduled to play in the dedication game of the new Richmond stadium next fall, but it is said that Coach Frank Dobson, of the University of Richmond, intimated that it was very doubtful if Wake Forest would play Richmond in foot ball next fall; after Tuesday night's display; Coach Ddhson however, did not make any official announcement concerning a break between the institutions. The latest report from the U. N. C. winter football field, ac cording to the News and Ob- .. server, has it that Harry Schwartz is soon to be added to the football coaching staff of the University. It is understood that Schwartz will be regular coach of the fresh man team, and , that Lester Belding, head freshman grid coach since the start of the Notre Dame regime on the Hill, has re signed. . The report goes on that Tex Enright, former Notre Dame star and now an assistant coach at Carolina, appears likely to replace ' Belding, with Schwartz serving as assistant.

M. R. ALEXANDER, The Millrose A. A. holds its 22nd annual track and field meet in Mad ison Square Garden next Saturday night with the names of Percy Wil liams and Paavo Nurmi heading an impressive entry list. Williams who is to compete in the 60-yard dash, gave American sprint ers another taste of his dust in the Boston A. A. games last night. Al though a novice at the indoor Tun ing game, and racing 40 yards, a strange distance to him, the Olym pic sprint champion from Vancouv er, B. C, trounced a crack field that included Karl Wildermuth, of Georgetown; Jimmy Daley, of Holy Cross, and Chet Bowman of the New ark A. C. ' Nurmi, who ... romped to another easy two-mile victory in the Boston A. A. games, makes his first start of his present tour over the mile route. Indications are that Paavo will have much more serious opposition than he has had so far. In the field against Nurmi will be Ray Conger, the American 1,500 meter champion; Willie Goodwin; former national two mile titleholder, who is attempting a comeback this season ; and Galen El liott, former. University of North Carolina miler. Advertise in the TAR HEEL.
