Murnickmen Boast
Five Undefeated
Leather Slingers
By Stanley Colbert
The Army cadets play host to Caro
lina's undefeated boxing team this
afternoon at West Point as a fitting
climax for this year's Southern con
ference champions.
Boasting of five undefeated boxers,
the pugmen will attempt to outfight
the cadets and present an undefeated
season as a present to Army-bound
Coach Joe Murnick.
Replacing Ed Twohey at 155 pounds
will be John Richardson, a civilian.
Richardson will be making his initial
start for the boxers and appears a
possible dark horse in the meet.
The cadets of West Point were
previously beaten by the University
of Maryland, and should not prove
too tough an adversary for the fight
ing Tar Heels. However, an upset
might occur.
Starting at 120 for the Tar Heels
will be Ed Keyes, undefeated in his
last three bouts. The flashing south
paw has looked good in practice and
is favored over his opponent.
At 127 the Tar Heels are starting
Bob Thomas. Thomas lost his first
two bouts, but tied the third and may
be due for a win.
Jim Lodge, Marine trainee, Is start
ing at 135 for Coach Murnick. This
will be Lodge's second bout of the
year.
Dynamo Jim Worley will be at 145
in his last bout for the University of
North Carolina. Worley has received
orders that transfer him to Princeton
University Pre-midshipman school at
the end of this trimester.
Captain Walter KO Kraus makes
his final appearance on the squad,
starting at 165. Kraus has piled up
the enviable record of seven wins in
six minutes, a new Southern confer
ence record.
Del Leatherman will seek his fourth
consecutive win when' he faces his
cadet opponent. Leatherman, the sub
ject of a past Tar Heel feature article,
has displayed excellent form and is
being counted upon heavily by Coach
Murnick.
Knocking out his sparring partner
Thursday, Thad Ellis has shown
steady improvement at heavyweight
and by Virtue of beating his last
three opponents, he is favored in his
bout.
This will be the last year of boxing
at Carolina for Coach Murnick, who
received his orders and departs for
Carolina White
In Home Finals
Playing with a rejuvenated spirit,
Carolina's White Phantoms closed the
home basketball season last week
with overwhelming victories over
Catawba and Davidson.
In a non-conference skirmish Tues
day night, Coach Ben Camevale's
lads jumped to an early lead and
held easily all the way to trounce
Catawba of Salisbury, 64-30. Catawba
was able to tally barely 13 markers
during the first half, while the local
hardwood crew dropped in 34.
Immediately with the opening of
the second half, Carolina continued on
a scoring spree to mount up the 34
point margin of victory. Jim Jordan,
outstanding player and one of the top
scorers in the Southern conference,
played true to form against the In
dians from Catawba, making a total
of 19 markers. Don Anderson, Manny
Alvarez arid John Dillon also figured
in the win with some commendable
play under the basket and in hitting
the hoop.
Potent Phantoms '
Wednesday night, the potent Phan
toms, fast improving after a mid
season slump, piled up the largest
score ever recorded by a Carolian
basketball team and ever scored in
Woollen gym in smothering totally
outclassed Davidson, 89-20, ina
Southern conference encounter. This
was UNC's ninth loop win againat
three defeats.

and Earl Elliot, of the ATO quint,
with 56 points to his credit.

The Intramural Basketball league
playoff tournament approached an
end yesterday as Pi Kappa Alpha and
Battle Dorm locked horns for the
championship. Battle beat Phi Delta
Theta, 33-26, Sigma Chi, 23-20 and
then nosed out Whitehead No. 1, 24-20,
to gain their berth in the finals. PiKA

then went on to beat SAE, 22-18, and
stave off a late Med School rally to
win, 36-31.
In the first round of the tournament,
the Admirals beat Sigma Uu, 33-26,
Whitehead beat Phi Gam, 36-23, and
Sigma Chi edged out Hewes Hall, 28-

Med School upset a strong ATO team,
26-25, and Old East and "SAE took
their games as expected. In the quar
ter-finals Whitehead knocked off the
previously undefeated Admirals in a
hotly contested game, 23-22. Battle
took Sigma Chi, Med School advanced
at the expense of Old East, and PiKA
took another step toward the finals by
whipping SAE, 22-18.
The semi-final round saw Pi Kappa

while was having a nip and tuck fight
with Whitehead, finally getting the
victory, 24-20.
quint to nine points during the first
six minutes while tallying two them
selves. However, Coach Camevale's
boys piled on the steam and had run
the score to 36-3 at the end of 1
minutes. Then with the reserves play
ing, Davidson put on a spurt for
eight points to bring the halftime
score to 38-11.
In the second half, the game was
virtually turned into a scoring splurge,
with Jordan leading the way. The
Phantoms made fast work in scoring
10 more points in the first three min
utes of the second half and bringing the
margin of victory to 72-13 at the end
of 13 minutes. Davidson had tallied
one field goal in the 13 minutes.
Carolina spurted to beat the 80
point score recorded recently in the
waning minutes of play, with the re
serves playing much of the way.
Other stars of the game included John
Dillon, Don Anderson, Manny Al
varez and in fact all the remaining
members of the team. In this en
counter, as in the past couple, the
Tar Heel crew showed definite signs
of improvement.
The final game of the regular sea
son play will be played against Duke
in Durham next Wednesday night.
Carolina will be seeking to revenge an
earlier setback at the hands of Duke
and hand the Devils their first defeat.

In National
Dolphins Trounce Duke In Final Meet
Prince Nufer, Carolina's esteemed lady Dolphin, will travel to Emory Uni
versity in Atlanta, Ga., to compete
championship and the Southeastern 100-yard race tonight at 7 o'clock.
This will be Nufer's first entry in ;
National competition since her acci- j r nr I n j
dent in 1941. The Emory event will
draw competitors from New Orleans
to Washington, D. C, and a strong
field is expected.
Prince, who hails from Goldsboro,
won the 50-yard freestyle event in the
Carolinas AAU meet last week, nos
ing out Evelyn Barbee, also of Golds
boro. Carolina's potent merman team cap
tured their sixth straight Southern
conference crown as they handed an
outclassed Duke University tank
squad a 50-25 beating last Wednesday
afternoon in the final meet . of the
season.
The Blue Dolphins finished their
second straight season with a clear
record and the Tar Heel fishes have
copped 42 of their last 43 meets, los
ing only to Navy in 1943 for an as
tonishing record unequalled by any
pool team in the nation. Last year's
swimmers were rated as the top team
in the country and this season's team,
undej the leadership of Coach Willis
Casey, also might be classed as one
of the strongest swimming outfits.
Billy Kelly, outstanding member of
the Blue Dolphin crew, set a new
Southern conference and Duke pool
record in the Tar Heel victory over
the Blue Devils. He swam the 200
yard breaststroke race in 2:25.9, 9.2
seconds better than the Southern con
ference record and 11.7 seconds bet
ter than the former Duke pool record.
He missed the world's mark by 3.4
seconds.
Also outstanding for the local
swimmers against Duke, and during
the rest of the season too, was Pete
Hexner, who swims with Kelly in
every meet. Hexner has been second
only to Kelly this season in the South
and has produced a good record. The
Duke meet was Hexner's last as he
leaves for the armed forces shortly.

150 To Enter
Woollen Gym
Indoor Classic
Approximately 42
Carolina Entries
Will Participate
By Wayne K. Brenengen
The merry-go-round will start
whirling this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
when the Annual Invitational Indoor
track meet takes the spotlight in
Woollen gym.
With a dozen college, university and
service teams, including a total of ap
proximately 150 athletes, today's meet
picks no definite winners. Competi
tion will be so close and evenly divid
ed that any team may cop the cham
pionship. Sponsored by the University of
North Carolina, this meet is a war
time successor to the Southern Con
ference Indoor Games, held at the Uni
versity since 1929 and long recog
nized as the indoor track classic of the
South.
Although the meet as a whole is ex
pected to turn out a number of better
performances, there probably won't be
more than two or three records broken,
as compared with the five last season.
Beetham Enters
Charley Beetham, North Carolina
Pre-Flight's great middle-distance
runner, who was awarded the Rodman
Wanamaker International trophy as
the outstanding athlete in the Millrose
Games in Madison Square Garden last
Saturday, will run today.
Sharing the spotlight with Beetham,
Earl Mitchell, a former University of
Indiana star now stationed at Camp
Lejeune, will show his heels in the '
field in the one mile and two mile
events. His best time in the two-mile
is 9:13, in comparison with the meet
record of 9:58; and his top effort in
the mile is 4:8.6, as compared with the
meet record of 4:25. Then there's Al-
vin Smith, Georgia Pre-Flight's two-
mile star, who is calculated to give
them both a run for their money.
Something's just going to give come
this afternoon.
The pole vault event will provide
some strong competition as Staff Ser
geant John Montgomery, of Cherry
Point, winner of last year's event with
a mark of 12 feet, six inches, will be
back defending his laurels only
against a stronger field than faced
him last year. Curry, of Duke; Done-
hue, of Georgia Tech; Nowers and
Miller of Carolina Pre-Flight; Beg
naud and Collins, of North Carolina,
and Carrington, of Virginia, are ex
pected to be his top contestants.
Shultz Runs
Ted Shultz, University of North
Carolina star who won the 70-yard low
hurdles in the meet last winter, has a
good chance of repeating this season.
He is also favored in the 60-yard dash
event. In a recent meet Shultz ran
the 60-yard dash in 6.5 seconds, just
one-tenth of a second slower than the
meet-winning time last season.
Other leading contenders in the 60-yd.-dash,
in which a total of 21 men
will be vieing for honors, will be Han
son and Bill Mitchell, of Cherry
Point; Ambrose and Stevenson, Duke;
Brown and Carpenter, Georgia Tech;
Wanger and Nazor, Virginia; Appen
zeller, Wake Forest; Strudlow, Camp
Mackall, and Chief Specialist Jimmy
Lyle, unattached. With such a large
group of entrants as this, four heats
will probably be required, with three
men selected from each. These will
take part in the semi-final heat, from
which the first six men will be chosen
for the finals. There can be only six
men in the finals of a running event,
and five men in finals of a field event.
There will be an admission for the
annual running affair, 50 cents for
Pre-Flight cadets and students $1 for
reserved seats. Athletic Director Bob
Fetzer announced yesterday that since
this meet was not subsidized by the
athletic department it would be neces
sary to charge in order to pay the ex
penses. The meet will be continued tonight
at 7:30 o'clock for the majority of the
running events. However, several
trials in the track events will be held
this afternoon along with the broad
jump, shot put and high jump.
