MERCHANDISE
UNTOUCHED BY
NIGHT VISITORS
Entrance Is Made
Through Window On
Southeastern Side
By RUSH HAMRICK
Apparently amateur marauders or
possibly only one marauder broke into
Everett dormitory store sometime dur
ing the early hours yesterday morn
ing and took loot amounting to $65.00.
The entrance was made through the
store window on the southeastern side
of the building.
Although a new supply of cigar
ettes, candies and other merchandise
was in the store, the thieves absconded
with only the cash drawer and left
everything else intact. Two checks, one
amounting to $11.00 and the other to
$17.00, were taken in the $65.00
booty with the remaining $37.00 being
cash.
The $11.00 check was issued on The
State Trust company in Henderson
ville to Delmar Pryor and signed by
WilMe Pryor, and the $17.00 check
was issued on The Phoenix Bank and
Trust company in Hartford, Conn., to
Milton Kantrowitz and signed by
Samuel Kantrowitz. Pryor and Kan
trowitz are both residents of the dor
mitory. SENTIMENT
A black strong box, nine inches
long, five inches wide and five inches
deep, was also missing from the cash
drawer. The key to this box was evi
dently carried away in its small lock.
Sentiment was added to the robbery
in that the. box belonged; to. BilT Jor
dan, manager of the dormitory, and
had formerly been a proud possession
of his grandfather's.
According to Hugh Byrd, assist
ant dormitory manager, the robbery
occurred between the hours of 12:30
and 8 o'clock a. m. Byrd also stated
that a watch had been stolen from
his room several days ago.
The burglars appeared to be ama
teurs. Appearances indicate they had
quite a bit of trouble getting inside
the store. Their first job was to punch
holes in the screen so as to get near
a window pane. Four razor blades
were found near the window and some
loose putty was still on the window
sill yesterday morning which indi
cated that the plunderers had then
attempted to scrape the putty from
one of the window panes in ordejp. to
remove it with as little noise as was
possible. -GLASS
BROKEN
This method evidently did not meet
with success, so as a final resort, a
rock or some other solid instrument

ASSURES CAROLINA

Glamack Wows 'Em
With 15 Points; v
Severin Second
By SHELLEY ROLFE
Any loud explosion heard in the
vicinity of Woollen gym between 8:30
and. 10 o'clock last night was not the'
gym blowing" up, but merely the State
college basketball team coming apart '
at the seams and losing to Carolina, -'
40-25, before more . than 4,000 cus-
tomers. . i
It it altogether probable that State )
might have done better with the in
jured Jim Rennie, and Bill Mann,
whose sister died yesterday afternoon,
in the line-up, and it is equally prob
able that State could not have won
with the Original Celtics, they slump
ed so badly. The Terrors, winners of
three straight conference games, were ;
never in the running and at one stage
of the first half went out of sight,
23-6.
MATHEMATICAL REVIEW
Gorgeous Georgie Glamack made 15
points to lead the Tar Heels to their
fifth win in a row, sixth in seven
starts, tenth of the season against nine
defeats and, seventh in the conference
against six losses. The win all but
assured Carolina a place in the con-;
ference tournament when the teams
gather in Raleigh a week from Thurs-,
day and it allowed the Tar Heels to
take undisputed possession of second
place in the Big Five race. By making
15 points, Glamack ran his point total
for the last three games to 44.
The game had a brilliant Carolina
touch, at the. very start when Bill
McCachren astounded everyone by
making two straight fouls. He made
another one after; a Glamack field
goal before State scored on a pivot
shot by Elwyn Hamilton. Carolina,
continued making points and State did
not, and the Tar Heels reached the
peak of the game by taking & 23-6
lead on a Glamack shot after 11:15 of
play in the opening period. Cheered
by the proceedings, the Carolina par
tisan gallery used a time-out to stand
up and give the team its biggest ova

Frosh To Sponsor
Movie At Carolina
"Ambush," starring Gladys Swarth

is being sponsored at the Carolina
theater today by the freshman class.
The funds derived from the presen
tation will be used to help finance the
freshman smoker and the freshman
committeemen dance, both of which
will be held tonight.
E. Carrington Smith, manager of
the Carolina theater, has offered free
passes to the freshman who sells the
most , tickets. Interest in ticket sales
has been quite lively among freshmen
and all those who have been selling
tickets are requested to see Peter
Gernsheimer who is in charge of sales
sometime between noon and one o'clock
today in 301 Graham.
Everyone, especially members of the
freshman class, is urged to cooperate
