The Carolina and Duke wrestling teams were getting their final in structions today in preparation for the state title ' meet in Durham . to night. The ma'tches will be held in the Duke gymnasium.: ! - The meet will not only decide the state title, but will have a tremendous bearing on the southern conference championship race. Both 'Duke and Carolina have defeated all other con ference teams to date, including V. P. I., thrice conference champs. Carolina' is also to meet V."M. I. here next Saturday night.. Should the Tar Heels' def eatboth the Blue Devils and Cadets their claim to the southern conference title will be undisputed. Interest centers around the heavy weight scrap, but both teams will pres . ent strong contenders in the lighter .weights. ',. ' . .,- The Tar Heels are banking on Clyde McKinney, 250 pound sophomore, to give Captain Okie Jones a merry time in the unlimited bout, but Coaches . Quinlan and Motsinger realize that victories must be won in other bouts to clinch the meet. The tiny Stallings, sophomore 115 pound star of the Tar Heels, draws a tough assignment in' the opening bout. He meets Applewhite, Duke's lightest mat star, who has dropped only two tough bouts in two seasons. Stall ings' only defeat this' season was on a time decision to Pryor, Virginia bantam star . Bill Woodard, 135 pound speed de mon, is another Tar Heel who draws a tou,gh bout. He meets Ralph Starn es, undefeated in Blue Devil meets for two full seasons.

Captain Gene Thompson , and Peyton Abbott will handle the 125 pound and 145 pound berths. The complete Tar Heel lineup due to start the meet 'will'.' likely include Stallings, 115 pounds; Capt.

'...-.f Rifle Team Shoots New York StpckX And Narist College ' The Carolina rifle team held it first match of the year Friday night in the gallery under Memorial hall. The match was a double one and Narist College of Atlanta, Georgia, and the New York Stock Exchange were shot against. These matches are held under the regulations of the National Rifle Association and are subject to any rulings that the Asso ciation may pass. The matches held last Friday night were telegraphic matches and the re suits of the other teams have not been wired to the manager and the outcome is not yet known. The team here shot exceptionally well and it is p6ssible that it will score a victory because a higher score was turned in to the N. R. A. offices than any other one score turned in all last year. . Ap parently the team has improved since last year. . The following schedule of matches has been made for the team: v ' Week beginning Feb. 23 Sacra mento Junior College,' Atlanta, Ga., and The New York Stock Exchange. Week beginning March 2-Clever land Tech, N. C. State Freshmen vs. U. N. C. Frosh, and N. C. State (pend ing).

DATE OF TRACK 1EET CHANGED First Annual Track and Field Carnival Will Be" Held Here Saturday. With the state championship . al ready in the bag, the University of North Carolina boxers now turn their attention to the annual Southern Con ference tournament which will take place next. Friday and Saturday at the University of Virginia. The Tar Heels : will , defend their conference championship in the meet this week against a strong array of southern ring teams. " With Clemson, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, - V.P.I., Duke, and North , Carolina already entered in the tournament, and Wash ington and Eee, Tulane, and Virginia Military .Institute all likely to send teams, , the meet promises to be the greatest competition between college boxers in the, entire United States this year. - The Tar Heels ; boasting wins over such teams as Virginia, V.M.I., V.P.I., Florida; Washington and Lee, arid last of all, Duke, which has one of the best teams in the South, are easily the favorites to win the tournament. However Coaches Quinlan and Butler are sending their protegees against the best that has ever been seen ip the South when they enter the annual mix-up next Friday and Saturday. A great deal depends on the show- i i - . . i ing oi sucn sopnomore stars as Vaughn, Sheffield, Goodridge, Davis, and Warren. Of course the veterans, Captain Brown and Allen, are ex pected to raise a lot of racktt in the meet just as they have done in the past. Brown was the conference middleweight champion last year and he stands a good chance to retain the title again this year,." Evan Vaughn, "Carolina bantam, with, a win over Ted Miller, Florida fighter who won the bantam championship last "year, will put in a strong "claim for the title in that division this year. In the last few meets Sheffield has shown a wicked punch which has landed with disastrous effect on, his opponents, and together with Good ridge should make a good showing at the Tournament. . The annual tournament was first held in 1927. The University of Vir ginia won the first title and the Tar Heels the second. This year the num ber of teams competing will be doubled and the meet promises to be a great success. College boxing is growing ",in popularity by leaps and bounds. Evidence of this growth can be. seen as the number of teams in the South has grown from two in 1922 until at present there are around a .score of college boxing teams'. - Annual Intramural Track and Field Carnival is Carded for ; The Tin Can Tomorrow Night On account of the enthusiastic re ception given the announcement of the first annual Mid-Winter Indoor Track Carnival, University of North Carolina athletic authorities decided today to change the date of the meet from Friday, March 1, to Saturday night, March 2, to suit the conveni ence of the competing institutions, a number of-whom have indicated their preference for the Saturday date. It is to be an open invitation meet, with events for varsity, freshman, and - high . and preparatory school teams. The, meet will start at 6:45 o'clock, s s Already Coaches R. A. Fetzer and Dale Hanson, in charge of track ac tivities at - the University, have, re ceived tentative entries from mem bers of the State's Big Five and a number of institutions in the South Atlantic states.' The meet will be divided intp three sections, the first devoted to, varsity events, the second to freshman events, and the third to inter-scholastic events. All events will be run ac cording to the rules laid down by the National Collegiate Athletic Associa tion for the government of indoor meets. The varsity events, ten in number, will include a 60-yard dash, a 60-yard high hurdles, a 440-yard dash, an 880-yard run, a mile run, a -two-mile run, a one-mile' relay, the pole vault, the high jump, and the shot put. The freshman program will include the 60-yard dash, the 60-yarcf high hurdles, a one-mile run and a one mile relay. . The special inter-scholastic events are to be the 60-yard dash, the 60-yard low hurdles,' an 880-yard run, a half-mile sprint relay, a run ning high jump, , and shot put. The last two events were added to the program at the request of a number of schools in this division. The inter-scholastic events will be open to both high schools and pre paratory schools. There will be a special 500-yard novice race which will be open to any athlete who has not won a race in college competition. It will now, however, count in the scoring in any division. . An effort is being made to induce Galen Elliott, former University star distance runner, who recently com peted in the Milrose games, to come to Chapel Hill tp compete in a fea ture race against selected opposition. The University has excellent ac commodations for the meet in the huge Tin Can here. The track pro vides for only ten laps to the mile for the track events, and the field events will be run off in specially con structed sawdust pits, giving almost the same conditions for the pole vault and high jump that would pre vail outdoors. ' Entry blanks may be secured from the University's Athletic Director.
