Tonight Tells
The Tale
Lcxlng will remain at Carolina for
a while, no matter what the Student
legislature might have decided last
night. Much as it would like to, the
legislature has no control over Caro
lina athletics. The Athletic Council
has the Anal say on all matters ath
letic, and yesterday 1 Bo Shepard,
assistant athletic director and member
of the Council, allowed that no one
had informed the Council that col
legiate boxing was a bad influence
driving the younger generation to
drink, tobacco, and similar fates worse
tkan death.
Speaking for the Council, Shepard
said, "We have not taken any action
on collegiate boxing yet. If the Stu
dent legislature recommends it be
abolished, we will listen to them. We
listen" to any proposal even if it is
a group not representative
cftfiecampus. I can't say what the
Athletic Council might do. But no ac
tion will be taken until the end of the
current season."
Eleven men are on the Council
thrfcer faculty members, three alumni,
three students, Coach Bob Fetzer, and
Shepard. They have the power to abol
ish boxing or tell the Student legis
lature to take its proposal and seek
the nearest lake which someone
should have told them long ago.
,
Far be it from this pillar of humble
knowledge and wisdom to argue with
the State legislature. Being men
versed in the art of statesmanship
they probably knew their business in
raising the out-of-state tuition. Of
course it does look like the legislature
wants to keep all out-of -staters par
ticularly Northerners out, but that is
a minor point. Just think of what the
tuition raise might do to the Uni
versity athletic set-up.
Next year Coach Ray Wolf counts
on at least seven Yankees for his
starting eleven. Four of the first
string basketballers come from out of
the state. Three-quarters of Bunn
Hearn's infield this spring will be
Northerners. Others sports, have their
out-of -staters.
Mr. Alumni, who pays the bill 'at
present, may object to that $75 in
crease. It may be the straw that will
break the camel's back after all, the
alumni have a pretty big burden now.
Of coure the logical solution would
be to register all athletes from Whistle
Stop, N. C, and let the matter drop.
But that would hardly be conduct be
coming a gentleman, etc.
Fred Keller, who is traveling from
college to college trying to gain sup
port for a "lift the embargo on Loyal
ist Spain" movement and who speaks
in Chapel this morning, got his licks
in the abolish-boxing argument yester
day. Said Mr. Keller, twice a New
York Golden Gloves champ and ex
football player, "boxing, if conducted

FRESHMEN TAKE
FIFTH STRAIGHT
BY SCORE 52-48
Special to the Daily Tar Heel)
. BY JIM VAWTER
DURHAM, Feb. 9 The' University
of North Carolina freshman basket
ball team racked up number five on
its successive victory list here tonight
as it won over the heretofore unde
feated Duke Universitv Yearling
C3
cagers 52-48.
Through the first portion of the
game the Tar Babies and the Imps
matched each other stride for stride.
Carolina, on-a field goal by Bob Ger
sten, jumped into the lead in the first
quarter and remained in front until
near the end of that period when
Duke spurted and took over. The
Imps held the advantage at the end
of this period 15-14. '
BEST TEAM WORK
Displaying more team work than
they have ever shown before the
Carolina frosh managed to build up
a comfortable lead during the middle
phase of the game which . was not
threatened until the last few minutes.
The Tar Babies were ahead 43-32 at
the end of the third period but going
into the last quarter Mock and Allen
forward and center for Duke began
sinking shots from every section of
the floor and pulled up to within four
points of the Tar Babies but the final
gun prevented any further advance
ment. t Clyde Allen, scrappy Duke for
ward, took over the high scorer hon
ors in the game with his 21 points.
Henry Feimister Carolina forward,
however, was not to be out-shined and
dropped in 20 points. Carolina's other
offensive power came from points
made by Bob Rose and Bob Gersten,
who were able to make 14 and 10
respectively Mock, for Duke attained
second place honors for them with 12
points.
Sparkling defensive work on the
part of Jimmy Dempsey and Bill
Loock, Tar Baby guards, accounted
for the ability of Carolina to hold
Duke's yearlings at bay for most of!
the game.

Grapplers Finish Preparation
For Davidson This Afternoon
Final touches were put on Caro
lina's varsity and freshmen wrestling
squads yesterday afternoon in prepa
ration for what promises to be the
closest match of the season when the
Tar Heel grapplers take on Davidson
in Woollen gym at 3:30 this after
noon. After dropping two fights to Navy
and Washington and Lee the Varsity
matmen will be out for blood this
afternoon. Coach Chuck , Quinlan
claims that the Tar Heels will meet
with plenty of competition, but he
believes that his matmen have a good
chance to come out of the fight with
their third Southern Conference vic
tory of the season.
For the first time in two weeks
the Carolina varsity grapplers .will be
at full strength when they take to the
mat this afternoon. George Zink, var
sity 121 pounder and Carolina AAU
champion, will lead things off. He is
looking for his fourth victory of the
season.
Captain Johnson Harriss in the 128
'pound class, Walter Blackmer, Caro
lina 136 pounder and only winner ki
the meet with Washington and Lee,
Bill Broadfoot, back in action after
nursing a sore rib, in the 145 pound
class, Steve Forrest, regular 155
pounder, Winston Broadfoot, at 165,
Don Torrey, back after laying off for
two weeks because of a cold, in the
175 pound event and Erskine Clements
will comprise the line-up.
The Tar Baby grapplers, riding an
undefeated wave, will be out to add
another victory to their string when
they tackle the Davidson frosh.
Carolina Faces Duke ......
Coach Wolf Sizes Up Team To
See What's What For Future
BY ROY POPKIN
Faced by another exasperating
cloudburst, Football Coach Ray Wolf
spent yesterday afternoon sizing up
the aspirants for varsity berths and
deciding just what's what and who's
who. After surveying the winter foot
ball practice squad carefully, Wolf
drew up the following "most likely
to succeed list":
There is a wealth of likely material
for the backfield. A dark horse who
is seeking to replace George Stirn
weiss and Jim Lalanne as chief signal
caller is Frank O'Hare, who starred
at quarter-with the frosh eleven last
season and was All-New York City
the year before that. Unfortunately,
he is up against tough opposition,
but can be certain of seeing plenty
of action.
BACKFIELD CANDIDATES
Experienced backfield candidates
who are more than likely to wind up
in the starting line-ups are Sid Sadoff,
sophomore who seems definitely set
for the fullback spot, and Mike Bob
bitt, who tops the waiting list for
halfbacks. Other lads who shouldn't
be sold short as to varsity ability are
Don Baker, another promising half
back, and freshmen Roy Conner and
Harry Dunkle.
-Wolf also has a slew of creditable
line material. In addition to Mallory,
Severin and Kline, he has five fresh
man pass and punt chasers who are
on the way up Taking them in alpha
HILL, N. O, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1939
Answering charges that college
boxing is brutal and injurious to
health, Coach Mike Ronman said
yesterday, "as soon as college boxing
is proved savage I will be willing to
abolish boxing and leave as Carolina
boxing coach.
"Collegiate boxing teaches a boy
to react quickly to any situation. Col
lege boxing is a science. It teaches a
boy self reliance and control. It gives
him self-confidence.
"It is safe because of the use of 12
ounce gloves, constant physical exams,
and the nine-count rule after every
knockdown. Also once a boxer is
knocked down twice in a row the
bout is stopped."

Beaten in their last four games, the
Blue Devils have dropped to five wins
and five losses in loop play. Davidson,
beaten by Carolina the night before,
35-28, won, 42-40 Wednesday to hand
Duke its most recent defeat. The
other three losses on the string were
to Army, Brown, and Maryland.
CAROLINA CLIMBS
Advancing up the conference ladder
with three wins in four games, Caro
lina has won five and lost six league
battles. The loser tonight may face
virtual elimination from tourney con
sideration. Duke will be a slight favorite to
night because of more experienced
performers. Russ Bergman, Suitcase
Ed Swindell, Russ Parsons and Bob
O'Mara all played on last year's club.
Carolina has one veteran Ben Dil
