The Tap Room of the Hotel Colum
bia vas the general headquarters, for
coaches, managers, and sportswriters
daring the Southern conference box
ing tournament last week-end. After
the final round Saturday night, even
the boxers went there.
Famous fights are re-enacted
orer a stein or two of beer. Ole
Timers, now handling college box
ers, look back to the days of real
he-men and million dollar gates."
They realize college boxing today is
a far cry from the sport as they
knew it. And they are glad.
The tournament, held at Columbia
on its 13th anniversary, stands as a
shining example of the progress col
lege boxing has made in its decade of
existence. Three capable referees were
used throughout, each checking on the
other. All entrants were weigned in
carefully, then given a thorough phy
sical exam.
More than 35 bouts were fought
only thre were won by TKO's.
Lient Col. Harvey L. Miller,
Maryland coach, beamed in fatherly
manner on three champs and the
team title when it was all over . . .
And boasted of the effectiveness of
southpaw boxing ... At Maryland,
ordinarily right-handed boys are
taught to be left-handed with ob
viously good results ... South Caro
lina had a protege of Tony Galento
in the tourney . . . Lou Carleo, 135
pounder who gave Benny Alper
stein a tough time in the semi
finals, was raised in Orange, N. I
and boxed under Two-Ton's instruc
tion Between every round, Car-
leo's seconds showed him a photo
of Galento for inspirational pur
poses ...
Addison E. Warren, Duke's boxing
coach, Carolina alumnus, and former
two-year conference champ himself,
announced that Ray Matuletwicz was
having his troubles . . . Ray, or Matt
Eaymond in professional circles, was
lightheavy champion in '36 and '37
while at Duke He turned pro last
year under Tommy Loughran, was re
cently suspended for falsifying his
weight before a fight . . . Now, about
to be reinstated, he is breaking up
with Loughran, the grand fighter of a
few years back ... "A wealthy New
York : 'capitalist named Newton is' tak
ing Ray over," said Warren . . .
Loughran, Matulewicz, and gate re
ceipts didn't come out in the right
proportions ...
Jimmy Inskeep, Carolina student
who was ineligible for the boxing
team this year, bummed down to
the conference meet and caught a
ride with Billy Conn, rapidly rising
light heavyweight champion who has
beaten Fred Apostoli twice ...
Conn, 21 years old and driving a
aew Buick, was on his way to
Miami. . .
A prediction . . . Next year's Caro
lina boxing team will sweep the con
ference clean . , . Ronman loses not a
single man next season . . . His only
worry is what to do with heavy
weights Hubbard, Kimball, and Pal
anske ... He would like to create
new weight divisions in the unlimited
class ...

A championship duel held in Woollen

competition.
Durham's ' attack was centered
around sure shots from beneath the

mostly defensive, holding the Dur
hamites to their lowest score all season.
In the class B championship, Cary

Fencers Hold Last
Drill Before Tour
Ending their winter practice ses
sions, but just getting ready to under
take the most difficult part of their
schedule, the Tar Heel fencing team
will hold its last workout at 5 o'clock
this afternoon in the Tin Can. Im
mediately after exams, the team will
leave on its northern tour, which will
last throughout the entire vacation
week.
The first string squad has been
stressing offensive tactics in its work
these past few days, staging bouts in
two of the three weapons.
BLOOM REFUSES
Captain Allan Bloom refused to re
lease any definite line-up for the open
er against Maryland at College Park
March 13, the first meet of the north
ern tour. The Terps, down here for the
Tar Heels' opener last month, turned
back Carolina's swordsmen, 16 1-2
10 1-2, in their only conference defeat
so far. Although this meet is not ex
pected to be the most difficult of the
trip, it will be the one match the
fencers will really want to win.
Foilsmen Dave Malone and Joe Boak,
in short bouts yesterday, shaped up in
good condition. No extra foil fencers
will be taken on the trip because many
of the other fencers in epee and sabre
would be able to sub if needed. How
ever, Bloom, Malone and Boak are well
able to take care of the foil opposition.
IN RARE FORM
Randy Reece appeared to be in rare
form yesterday as well as the remaind
er of the epee team, all of whom are
making the trip Dick Freudenheim,
John Finch and Clarence Howell.
Bob Harrington and Sid Shiller,
sabreists, probably went through the
hardest drillwork of the day, affording

At 9 in Final bame Or Evening
By SHELLEY ROLFE
Eleven Southern conference basket-unlade
ball teams, through with one of the
most blistering campaigns in recent
years, gather in Raleigh today for the
start of the conference basketball tour
nament. Three games will be played
tonight, four tomorrow, two in the
semi-finals Friday and the inevitable
finale Saturday.
i
Without any intention of repeating
the feat of last year's team which was
put out in the first round by Wash
ington and Lee, Carolina plays Clem
son at 9 o'clock tonight in the final
game of the evening. VMI and Rich
mond battle at 7 o'clock, and State and
Duke at 8 o'clock.
TOPS ALL
With Raleigh's Memorial auditorium
again providing the setting, this year's
tournament is expected to top all pre
vious ones at the gate. Tickets are
almost gone for tonight, tomorrow and
Saturday while tickets for Friday were
sold out a week ago. Tickets for to
night's added starter game went on
sale yesterday and will continue on sale
until game time.
.Two tall young men adept in play
ing the same position and scoring
points will hang the outcome of the
Clemson-Carolina battle.
Clemson's tall 'un is Banks McFad
den, who last year as a sophomore led
Clemson into the tournament finals and
made All-Conference forward only be
cause Bob Spessard was still around
at center. McFadden has brought the
Clemson team back from a miserable
start to a tourney berth.
ROUND ABOUT FACE
The Tigers opened the season by
losing five out of their six conference
games. Hope for getting into the tour
nament was almost abandoned, but
suddenly - Clemson, with McFadden
leading the charge, did a round about
face and won five out their next six
league games to finish the season at
.500 and six and six.
Little more than a month ago, Caro
lina was apparently completely out of
the tournament, picture. But Glamack
suddenly woke up to his burden as chief
Tar Heel point maker and Carolina
won six out of its last eight games to
finish the league season with eight
wins and eight losses. In one three
game stretch during the spurt, George
COACH JAMERSON, NOT OPTIMISTIC,
TAKES TANKERS TO DUKE FOR MEET
5-
Not expecting victory at all, Coach
Dick Jamerson takes his varsity swim
mers to Duke for a meet at 4 o'clock
this afternoon. ' The Tar Heels leave
Woollen gym at 2 : 30.
The Blue Devils topped Carolina
earlier in the season in a very con
vincing way, and since then Duke stars
have led competition in AAU meets
here and in Goldsboro. With Dickey in
the diving, and Emmett, Jenkins and
Moise swimming in the sprints, which
are Carolina's strong events, Coach
Jamerson isn't very optimistic.
Carolina closes its first season this
week-end at Raleigh in the Southern
conference tournament in which Clem
son, Duke, Washington and Lee, VMI
and Virginia Tech also will compete.
Preliminaries are scheduled Friday
and finals Saturday.
Non-Sorority Girls
Down Sorority Six
Led by Martha Mills and Anne
Moore, the non-sorority girls' basket
ball team triumphed over the sorority
girls' sextet, 39-26, yesterday after
noon in Woollen gym to avenge a beat
ing earlier in the season. Taking the
lead early in the game, the non-sorority
team easily outplayed their opponents.
Shiller an excellent opportunity to
brush up on his aggressive fencing.
Harrington, attempting to polish up
his defense, fenced well.
After this afternoon's workout,
which is expected to be a long and hard
one, the team will not take up weapons
again until the Monday morning be
fore the Terp contest.
Turkish women live longer than
men, according to an official report
issued at Angora, but emancipation
has shortened their lives.

At practice yesterday, Coach Walter
Skidmore was strangely optimistic
about the Tar Heel chances against
the Tiger game. "There are eight teams
with chances to win. I consider Caro
lina one of the eight. I dont know what
Clemson has, I haven't seen them play
this season. But earlier this year, Joe
Davis, the Clemson coach, told me this
was the best team he's ever had."
LINE-UP LISTED
The Tar Heels took a hard workout
and, after practice, Skidmore an
nounced the ten men going to Raleigh.
They are: McCachren, Dilworth, Wat
son, Worley, Roberson, Glamack, Carr,
Severin, Howard and Branson. As long
as it remains in the tournament, the
team will stay at the Bland hotel.
Beaten twice this season by Duke,
State will try to get its first win over
the Blue Devils and cool off the hot
Dukes. The Devils, defending cham
pions, got into the tournament by win
ning their last three games in a row
after losing seven straight, to finish
the season with seven and seven. State
is the only team playing tonight that
finished the season above .500, having
won seven and lost six.
LUCKY DEVILS
Duke has Glenn Price, Ed Swindell
and luck on its side. The Blue Devils
got into last year's tournament by win
ning a coin toss and they promptly
copped the thing. State has Bill Mann
and Selby Jones.
To Richmond and VMI? will go what
ever honor there is in opening the tour
nament. Each team has won a game
from the other by one point. The Key
dets beat Richmond Saturday, 37-36,
on a last minute goal by Ed Foster,
threw five teams into a .500 tie, and
made it necessary jf or. the tournament
committee to invite 11 schools instead
of the usual eight. The Spiders are
favored to win tonight.
Coed Fencers
AH members of the coed fencing
team invited to make the northern
trip will meet this afternoon at 4
o'clock instead of 5 in the small
lounge of Graham Memorial.
Go Get Organized
All varsity and freshman track can
didates are asked to go to the Tin Can
sometime during the afternoon to get
organized for the coming outdoor sea
son. The Tar Heels close their indoor
season March 11 when they compete at
the University of Maryland games in
Baltimore.
The University under President
Frank Graham was consolidated in
1932 with State college at Raleigh
and Woman's college at Greensboro

Frat Titlists
Campus Crown
Basketball squads representing BVP
No. 1, dormitory champions, and Phi
Kappa Sigma, fraternity titlists, will
challenge the opening of the Southern
conference basketball tourney for the
attention of the Sport loving Carolina
student this afternoon at 4 o'clock
when they meet for the campus basket
ball title in Woollen gym.
The dormitory title holders are prob
ably the best defensive team on the
campus, and have at times during the
season been very effective in the of
fensive department. Like the Phi
Kappas, they, boast a perfect rec
ord of nine victories and no losses. The
Phi Kappa Sigma team, paced by Jim
Mallory, who has collected over a hun
dred points, has been the best offen
sive team on the campus, but its de
fensive work lags behind that of the
dormitory squad. Both teams indi
cate that they are in tip-top shape and
the game this afternoon should be the
crowning affair of the season.
