The Bell System plans an extensive trial of two-way radio
in providing telephone service to vehicles in a number
of large cities.
Connections with other telephones will be made
through the nearest of several receiving and transmitting
stations operated by the telephone company. It is gener
ally similar to the existing ship -shore radio telephone
service for vessels in coastal and inland waters.
The main job right now is making more telephones
available for those who have been waiting for regular
service. But as soon as the new equipment can be built
the Bell System will begin extending. telephone service
to vehicles.

As the 1946 boxing season is about
to get under way, Coach Jule Medwin,
new mentor of the Blue and White
leather slingers, has been drilling his
aspirants for the past few weeks. Al
though the official practices are not
under way, Coach Medwin had been
holding daily workouts during the lat
ter part of last term with some of the
older members of the squad.
The newly acquired Tar Heel men
tor, in a recent interview, stressed
greatly the need for more boxers. He
announced that the positions were ex
tremely wide open and hoped for new
participants to come out by the end of
this week.
This year's boxing schedule is not
complete as yet, but several matches
have already been arranged. The six
teams now on schedule are South
Carolina (home and home), Maryland,
Army, Virginia, and Kingsport. (

To put it in the words of one of
the state sports editors, "Carolina "will
rate a big favorite," but according to
Coach Carnevale, "it will be a much
closer game, probably pur toughest of
the season. If Carolina doesn't play
its regular game," Carnevale con
tinued, "we will get beat."
Duke is an up-and-coming basket
ball crew, with three top-notch per
formers in Dick Whiting, Ed KofTen
gerger and Bubber Seward. Whiting
played in Madison Square garden last
season with Mullenburg, Koffenberger
was outstanding in conference play
last year, and Seward starred for
Duke back in 1942. The Devils last
smothered Davidson 55-27, giving an
excellent exhibition of defense.
Carolina's last appearance on the
hardwood was last night when they
met Maryland, and results were not
vailable to the Tar Heel at press
time. The game tomorrow night will
be the third in five days for the UNC
five, having breezed past the Ft. Bragg
Airborne detachment team 65-33 last
Saturday night.
The Tar Heels are fresh from a
Christmas holiday northern swing,
where they added a little national rec
ognition to their already impressive
Southern record,' knocking off the
east's two major unbeaten quints,
NYU and St. Joseph's of Philadelphia.
Commenting on the successful ven
ture into the nation's best basketball,
Coach Carnevale said "the Phantoms
had a job to do, and they went to New
York and Philadelphia o play ball
and did just that. The boys didn't
let the big city scare them, and it was
just a case of superb teamwork and
defense that gave us the 43-41 and 47
36 triumphs.
"Dillon, Jordan and Paxton were
outstanding, true, but it was the
whole team that won, according to the
Tar Heel mentor, "the work feeding
the ball and under the baskets being
tops."
Pete Mullis, little assistant coach
who has been invaluable to Coach
Carnevale since he took over for Bill
Lange last season, was pleased as
punch with the wins, too, commenting
in the locker room at Philadelphia:
"It really felt fine to beat them. You
see, I was playing for Carolina when
we last beat St. Joe up here, and it
made it seem like old times." Not to
be left out of the trip, too, was an" out
wardly insignificant man, but a man
who was busy from beginning to end
R. A. "Doc" White. Doc, the head
trainer, was on hand for all occasions,
and he too was "very happy" over
the showing of the Phants.
This inter-sectional play is conclud
ed now, until the locals go to the
Naval Academy, February 9, anyway,
and the big task ahead is to take care
of the Southern conference opposition,
something which is going to be far
from easy. The first big bulwark
comes tomorrow night, and to cope
with this, Coach Carnevale intends to
start his Jim Jordan, Johnny Dillon,
Bob Paxton, Don Anderson and Tay
lor Thome combine, with Red Hughes
and Jim White his frrst reserves on
deck.
Leading the Carolina scoring thus
far has been Dillon, who, incidentlly,
was ranked as the 14th scorer in the
nation last week, with something like
17-point-a-game average, with Jor
dan close behind with something bet
ter than a 10-point average.
Defensively, the leader has been
Paxton, his backboard snatching be
ing tops all through. Taylor Thorne,
the little guard who made such a good
showing against St. Joe, also comes in
on a word of commendation on the
defensive side of the picture, as does
Jordan, Hughes and Anderson. An
derson, who is the all-around fastest
man on the squad, has been a stand
out in floor play, and the veteran eager
sunk three straight buckets in Phila
delphia to set the Tar Heels off in the
lead.
In the game with Ft. Bragg Sat
urday night, Jordan and Dillon were
co-high men for Carolina, each get
ting 15 points. Paxton threw in 10
in playing a good defensive game as
usual. Red Hughes' bucketed six, and
Dilorenzo got five.
