The Med students might not have
enough spare time to participate in
varsity sports, but they certainly go
out in a big way for the intramural
activities. Check tnelr records for the
evidence of this statement. The future
docs walked away with the mural
wrestling championship by copping
five of the eight classes and are stag
ing a big fight for the basketball
crown.
The Med School furnishes Carolina
with a lot of stalwart athletes includ
ing Denny Hammond and Ira Abra
hamson, swimmers ; Sam Hay, football,
and Bill "Red" Forrest, baseball. But
there's no question about the fact that
the Med students main interest lies in
the line Of intramurals and their re
cord is enough to prove it.

150 Stars To

Haass- ,
In Program
A total of nearly 150 track stars,
representing 10 college, university and
military units, have filed entries for the
annual Invitation Indoor meet, spon
sored by the University of North Caro
lina, which will be held in Woollen
Gymnasium next Saturday, Feb. 10, it
was announced tonight by R. A. Fetzer,
Director of Athletics. Additional en
tries are expected.
Earl Mitchell, nationally famous
star from Camp Lejeune, is sched
uled for the one and two-mile events,
and his appearance, along with that
of North Carolina Pre-Flight's Charlie
Beetham, middel-distance ace, assures
the meet of at least two nationally
known standouts, in addition to many
of the best track men in this section.
Dale Ranson, track coach at Caro
lina, said the entries already filed in
dicate the meet "will be just as good
as any in the past."
Teams already entered include Clem-
son, ueorgia rre-Jbiignt, Virginia, jm.
C. State, Georgia Tech, Carolina Pre
Flight, Cherry Point Marines, Laurin-burg-Maxton.
Air Base, Norfolk Naval
Training Station, and North Carolina.
Earl Mitchell and Kenneth Farris,
of Camp Lejeune, entered individually,
not as representatives of the base.
Mitchell under the colors of the Uni
versity of Indiana won the indoor mile
in the Millrose games, Madison Square
Garden, in 1942, with a time of 4:8.6,
only a fraction more than a second
slower than the world record. He was
Big Ten two-mile champion in 1942,
and his best time in that event was 9 : 13.
Since the meet record for the mile is
4:25, and the two-mile is 9:58, it looks
as if there are two new marks, at least,
in the offering.

AL MATHES
Mathes As Coach of'B' Outfit
Prepares Players For Varsity
"Mathes The Maker Of Men" is the
right term to use in connection with
Coach Al Mathes, who is doing a com
mendable job as mentor of Carolina's
"B" for the third straight season.
Mathes is directly responsible for
priming basketball players until they
reach varsity calibre. In other words
he's been the man behind the scenes in
many Carolina victories since he start
ed coaching here in 1942.
Hailing from Newark, N. J., Mathes
entered Carolina as a student in the
fall of 1936 and played on the frosh
cage team that winter. After that
year's prepping with the Jayvees he
played the next three years as a guard
for the White Phantoms and was se
lected on the All-Southern team in his
senior year, when the Tar Heels swept
the Conference tourney in 1940.
- During the summer of 1941 Mathes
signed a professional baseball contract
with the Boston Red Sox and was sent
to a team in the Eastern Shore League
where he batted a fine .319 average
for the season. In the fall of .'41 he
accepted a position as coach and teach
er at the Rocky Mount high school.
The court team under his supervision
placed second in the Class A confer
ence. In 1942 Mathes came to Carolina as
freshman basketball coach and pro
duced an unbeaten outfit. He also as
sisted in coaching duties of baseball
that year. A few of the guys he has
tutored up to the varsity in basketball
are Don Anderson, Clyde KingDick
Donan and Buster Stevenson.
Other than his duties here at Caro
lina, Mathes has completed a Civil Air
Patrol course and holds a private pi-

Carolina's potent ringmen captured
the unofficial title of Southern boxing

handed a 6-2 defeat to the fighting

In the 127-pound class, it looked
like Bobby Thomas all the way, but
Tom Markwood put on the steam near
the end and the fight ended in a
draw.
Lodge Fights Well
Jim Lodge, representing Carolina in
the 135-pound class, put up a beauti

fact that he has been with the squad
just two weeks, was too much. He

In what appeared to be a poor de
cision, Jim Worley, Tar Heel dynamo
at 145 pounds, drew Chuck Pomatto
of Virginia. The crowd lustily booed
this decision, for Worley had boxed
terrifically for three rounds.
Twohey Tops Jenkins
In what proved to be the feature
scrap of the evening, red-headed Ed
Twohey, representing Carolina for the
first time in the ring, decisioned Donn
Jenkins, in one of the oddest fights
in the annals of Carolina's boxing his
tory. Jenkins was originally scheduled to
fight KO Kraus, but actually he had
been losing enough weight to weigh
in at 155 pounds and be sure of win
ning his bout.
About two inches taller than Two
hey, Jenkins had the advantages of
reach and experience, but in the first
round Twohey came right out and
worked under Jenkins with a flurry
of lefts and rights to win the round.
Hand Is Broken
In the second round, Twohey land
ed a terrific punch to Jenkins' head,
but to all eyes it just hurt Jenkins.

Tomorrow
Coach Ben Carnevale's Carolina
basketball team will play its final pair
of home games this week, facing Ca
tawba tonight in a non-conference bat
tle and locking horns with Davidson
in a Southern loop encounter Wednes
day. Both games are slated for Wool
len gym at 8 o'clock.
After the home court finale Wednes
day, Carolina will travel to Richmond
Saturday to battle the University of .
Richmond. The Phantoms are scheduled
to meet State in Raleigh next Mon
day and conclude the regular season
play Wednesday at Duke.
The Tar Heel cagers are favored in
both home games, tonight and tomor
row night, by virture of previous wins
over the same clubs earlier in the sta
son. Coach Carnevale's Phantoms will
also be rated to overpower State and
Richmond, but the tilt at Duke next
week will be slightly the other way as
the Blue Devils downed Carolina in
their first meeting January 20.
Carolina's basketballers fell victim
to the top ranking Norfolk Air Sta
tion quint for the second time this sea
son last Saturday night, C5-4G, as the
Sailors won their ICth straight tilt.
Norfolk jumped to an early lead,
holding at 26-15 margin at halftime,
and the Airmen held the Tar Heel
crew to 11 markers in the second half
while scoring 37 themselves to romp
to victory. Jim Jordan, one of the lead
ing scorers in the Southern conference,
John Dillon and Manny Alvarez each
tallied nine points for the Phantoms,
but Norfolk's Bob Carpenter was high
man for the night with 29.
The starting five for Carolina to
night will probably be: Ira Norfolk
and Jim Jordan, forwards; Bill Allen,
center; and Manny Alvarez and Clive
Thompson, guards.
