And with it goes some last-minute bits of this and that from -here and there, as the old saying has it. First in line for attention is the mattery of basketball, something which isn't going to die just because school is out for the holidays at Caro lina. Coach Ben Carnevale's lads at this writing have won two and lost one game so far, and they clash with Davidson in the first conference tilt tonight. Catawba was here last night to inaugurate the collegiate season ... It is a big order for the cagers of Tar Heelia coming up on the 27th and 29th of this month, as the Phan toms are slated to meet two of the very top-notch fives of the East NYU and St. Joseph of Philadelphia It was truly a tough encounter for the Tar Heels to lose last Tuesday to the Greensboro ORD -air force quint. The game was a see-saw affair from beginning to end, the soldiers' Tee Frye drop ping in a free shot in the last 20 seconds to win the game. ... "Hook" Dillon (his name's Johnny) tallied 26 points and Jim Jordan got 10 to give the twin scoring plugs respective averages of 18 and 15 points a game. Between them, they have averaged 33 markers a game. But these two Phants far from dominate the standouts for the' Tar Heels, for such perform ers as Bob Paxton, who got 14 at ORD and played a bang-up game under the basket, and Don Ander son, strong guard monogram man, give the main scoring battery its needed support. Too, Red Hughes, Taylor Thorne, Jim White and Jim . Hay worth are all important cogs in the wheel. Football is now well out of the picture with the exception of the See SPORT SPINS, page 6. iiiii JULES MEDWIN Jule Medwin Gets Post Of Boxing Mentor at UNC Jule Medwin, former Carolina mid dleweight boxing star and national collegiate runner-up in his class, has been appointed boxing coach succeed ing Joe Murnick, who is in the Navy. The former army captain, who rose from the ranks as a private will serve in the absence of Murnick, who has been the boxing coach for several years prior to his induction into service. Murnick, now at Bainbridge; coached the jmgmen to a successful season last year and his ringmen dropped only one bout and that was to a rugged and experienced West oint crew by a slim margin. Medwin coached boxing at Virginia Tech in 1940-42 and during his two year stand his boxers won seven ou of 10 scraps, beating Carolina twice Coach Medwin will have three re- urning lettermen from last year's squad including Johnny Richardson Jim Lodge and Joe Mallard.

Dancing Every Night Hal Andrews and his Orchestra Wednesdays and Saturdays Grid Practice Set To Begin In January "We expect to start football drills for 1946 sometime around the middle of January," Coach Carl Snavely told the Tar Heel yesterday as he pre pared to journey to Richmond for the Southern conference meeting which is being held there. Coach Bob Fetzer, athletic director, and assistant director Chuck ETrick son are already' at the meeting, which is held every year for the considera tion of rule changes. One of the ma jor issues anticipated is the fresh man rule which was relaxed because of the war. "King Carl" Snavely, who piloted his Tar Heel to a .500 season in 1945, vent on to say that he planned to break the squad up into four equal sections, holding frequent scrimmages between the groups. This winter practice will last for about four weeks, and things will then be relaxed until spring drills in April. There may be a repeating of the Blue and White game held last year at the end of spring - training, but nothing is settled as yet. Meanwhile, Coach Snavely and his staff, which is still intact at the pres ent time, are hard at the task of plot ting a winning team next year, and new assistant George ..Stirnweiss, American league batting champ of the Yankees, arrived back in Chapel Hill to take up his work until reporting to spring training with the Yanks some time about March. Stirnweiss has not yet moved his family from New York, but he expects to do so as soon as he finds a home.

Carolina's twin scoring threats, Jim Jordan and Johnny Dillon, will be in the starting lineup as forwards, Bob Paxton will be at center and Don Anderson and Taylor Thorne will be at the guard spots. However, Jim White, a returning GI as is Thorne, is pushing the starting five and may get the starting bid in place of Thorne. For their first three games, the Tar Heels have gotten off to a very fast start, racking up an average of a fraction better than 60 points a game, with the Jordan-Dillon com bine accounting for 33 a game be tween them., In three games with top-notch service teams of the sec tion, the opponents have dropped in a 50-point average in each game, of fering something like 110 markers per game, and exemplifying the race horse, fire-house type of play that the Phants have been using this season. The present scoring record for a Tar Heel five was established by last year's SC championship five, which ran up 1,340 points in 25 regular sea son contests, an average of 54 mark ers a game, to eclipse the former mark of 1,114 set by All-American George Glamack and his 1941 club. After the games with Camp Mack- all and South Carolina next week, the White Phantoms will prepare for their toughest road trip of the season, to New York and Philadelphia where they will meet two of the strongest clubs in the East, NYU and St. Joseph. "These are two tough games, prob ably out of our class," Coach Carne vale said yesterday, "but we had rather lose to a strong college team like one of these than to any other." Carnevale pointed out that the east ern teams had much more experience than the Tar Heels, and that by play ing the games would give the Phants more good polishing before the battle for Southern honors really gets underway. With Tee Frye dropping in a free throw in the last 20 seconds, the ORD air force basketball team knocked the Tar Heels off the undefeated list last Tuesday, finally turning the Phants back by a 64-63 count. The game was nip and tuck all the way, with no team getting more than a six-point advantage at any time. The score was knotted at 18-all at the end of the first quarter, and ORD held a one-point lead of 37-36 at half time intermission. Carolina went ahead with about six minutes to play, but ORD put on the steam and im mediately got back into the game. John Dillon, high scorer for the night with 26, tied up the fray for UNC with a free shot with 50 seconds to go, but a few seconds later Frye won the tilt for ORD. Bob Paxton was outstanding for Carolina under the basket and got 14 points, and Jim Jordan racked up 10.
