ed that they do so at their own
Yesterday, Pete McCon-
aughy, one of the half-dozen as
sistant managers who hang' out
in the three-ring Tin Can, went
home with a nose a little the
worse for wear after accidental
contact with trackman Harry
March.
Tryouts
Although the two bantam
weight candidates, Winstead
and McFalls, are rather evenly
matched, the latter will prob
ably throw the first punch of
the season in intercollegiate
competition. That's only an
opinion, however, and the final
decision will beNmade late this
afternoon.
Cy Jones, barring acts of
God, will box Saturday night in
the 125-lb. division and will
work out in preparation today
against Freshman Gwyn Ed
wards. Joe Murnick and Tom
Bass will meet this afternoon
although Captain Murnick is
the likely starter in the 135-lb.

Phantoms Leave Today For
Three Contests In Virginia
Word has been received that Hugh Rogers, The Citadel's light
heavyweight, has failed to bring down his weight and will not
start against the Tar Heels. Co-Captains Orville Rogers and Pete
Lempesis will be right there, however. Orville, Southern Confer
ence heavyweight champion, is scheduled to box in that weight
against Carolina's Bill Moore in spite of the loss of three fingers
on his right hand.

Brother Of Co-Captain
Unable To Qualify
As Light-Heavy .
Holds Long Record
The Citadel boxing team was
dealt a blow to the midriff yes
terday when it was found that
175-pounder Hugh Rogers is
unable to take off enough
poundage to qualify for the
light heavyweight division,
Hugh, brother of Co-Captairi
Orville Rogers, Southern con
ference heavyweight champion,
has a record as long as Primo
Camera's arm. He was twice
Florida State light-heavyweight
champion, twice Atlantic Sea
board lightheavyweight cham
pion and this year was ranked
fourth amateur light heavy in
the country. In 1934 he went to
the semi-finals of the National
A. A. U. boutsNbut his scheduled
meeting with another rising
liht heavy, one Joe Louis, was
called off by the doctors.
Last year, his first intercol
legiate competition, he won five
out of five bouts.
Lempesis
In the 155-lb. division, Pete
Lempesis takes good care of
things for the cadets. He boxed
at Charleston high school for
four years and, in his senior
year there, he won the North
and South Carolina Middle
weight championship. He is a
ketball team which snappily and
easily turned away Kappa Al
pha 43-17. '
There was no scoring splurges
nor slumps on the part of the
victors, totaling 23 and 20
points per half respectively. A. C.
Hall, tall and sharp-shooting
Beta center, put through eight
field goals and two foul shots
for 18 points. Jimmy Richards,
outstanding cog in the clicking
Beta Theta Pi machine, was
second highest scorer. The box
score is:
Kappa Alpha (17); Beta Theta Pi (43)
Patterson 4;
Griffin 0;
Huntley 4;
Reich 6;
Yeomans 0;
Urquhart 2;
Foote 0; . '--Cheshire

senior this year and co-captain
of the squad.
In the senior middleweight
division, Coach Matty Mathews
will use either Jack Lyons or
Happy Deas. The latter boxed
light heavy last year but was
supplanted by Hugh Rogers. He
has been making a strong bid
for the starting assignment in
the 165-lb. class.
A left-handed sophomore will
represent the Light Brigade in
the welterweight bout. Mac
Mitchell, runner-up in the Ala
bama State Golden Gloves while
in school, will be making his
first appearance in varsity com
petition. He was intramural
champion in that weight at The
Citadel last year.
Todd
Rip Todd will probably, get
the call in the lightweight berth,
making his first appearance in
that weight. Winning nine out
of 11 bouts, Todd has fought in
the welterweight class for the
Cadets for two years.
The featherweight choice for
the starting assignment Satur
day night in the Tin Can is a
toss-up. Four boys are deter
mined to get the call : Risher, a
senior, Bagnal and Leonard,
sophomores, and Peeler, a jun
ior. -
There is no doubt about the
bantam weight, however. That
little assignment will fall to
Johnny Hughes, one of the most
dependable boxers on The Cita
del squad. He has lost but twice
in two years of collegiate action
and both defeats were at the
hands of the same man. S
Saturday's meet will be the
opener for the Tar Heels and
the Bulldogs and both teams are
anxious to get the title assault
underway. No freshman meet is
scheduled. -

The Carolina fencers will
resume their pre-season

Maryland trip to College Park
has been definitely called off.
This leaves a complete 10

mittee will report its findings

Orange and Person counties
went through 1937 without a
single reported case of typhoid
fever, according to a report is
sued by the health department.
However, there was a definite
increase in the number of syphi
lis cases, 102 being reported in
Orange county alone.
Evidence of scarlet fever,
diphtheria, and infantile paraly
sis was very slight, but there
was a sharp increase in measles,
whooping cough, and chicken
pox. The increase in measles
was not general, but was due in
great measure to a brief epi
demic in the Efland community
during the month of April.
Meet VPI Tonight
Atop the world in general
and the Southern conference
and Big Five in particular, ten
of Carolina's White Phantom
basketball players leave from
Emerson field at 8:30 this
morning for a three-game jour
ney through Virginia. In the
course of the journey through
the hills and lowlands of the
Old Dominion state, the cagers
will meet VPI tonight at Blacks
burg, VMI at Lexington tomor
row night, and Washington and
Lee at Lynchburg Saturday.
Little news has drifted down
from Blacksburg about the
Gobbler basketball club. Last
year the Virginia Tech cagers
had a fair team. On the Vir
ginia trip, Carolina downed
them 38-26.
Those Elons
VMI along with Washington
and Lee was hit by Elon last
week when the Christians were
tearing through the State of
Virginia bent on destroying
every basketball team in sight.
The Christians downed the Ca
dets by four points. That is the
only news of the Soldiers that
has come to Chapel Hill this sea
son. In the game at Lexington
last year, the Skidmore aggre
gation walked all over VMI by
a 56-29 count.
Saturday at Lynchburg, the
Phantoms meet the Generals in
THE early season clash of the
Southern conference. If the
Ha'nts hope to maintain their
advantage at the top of the
chase, they must down the Gen
erals. Last season the Generals,
downed Carolina in one regular
season clash and then hopped,
over them in the Southern con
ference finals for the champion
ship.
Washington and Lee's club 1
this winter is not as good as -that
championship outfit. The
of t told story of the elimination
of the center jump has of course
hurt the Generals. Bob Spes--sard,
All-Southern center and a-double-figure
scoring man in
every game last year has had!
his efficiency cut in half
Against Elon he could only tally
five points. Borries, another one
of last year's aces, is out with
injuries for the season.
Hank Luisetti, Stanford's bas
ketball ace, hails from -the same
neighborhood in San Francisco
that produced Joe DiMaggio.
