Ashby Wins 60-yard Dash
To Clinch Interclass
Track Title for Seniors
The high-flying senior class sewed up the interclass indoor track
meet yesterday when it added five and one-half more points to its
rapidly rising total as Percy Ashby raced to victory in the 60-yard
dash in the excellent time of :06.6 one-tenth of a second better
than last year's winning time in the conference indoor games.
The juniors kept pace with the seniors by piling up six points in
the single event held yesterday, while the sophs had to be content
with three and the frosh with but a ;
half point. The score now reads: 52 for
the powerful senior aggregation, 37 for
the second place juniors, 20 for the
first year men, and 11 for the failing
sophomore class.
Ashby No. 1 sophomore sprinter, was
very close to a sensation as he breasted
the tape ahead of the other runners in
his very fast time. Mike Mangum kept
the juniors in the race by taking second
place over soph Jack Emack in a close
finish. Bud Thomas was the second
junior to cross the line when he took
fourth position and senior Warren Men
gel tied for fifth with freshman George
Belli.
Excellent Times
All of the men placing in the event
turned in excellent times and these
spoke well for the division in which the
Carolina track team is the weakest this
season. Besides the front-line men, sev
eral other bright sprint prospects turn
ed in some dash performances that
brought smiles to Coach Johnny Mor
riss face.
Sophomores Billy Williamson and
Alex Wilson ran exceptionally promis
ing races in their respective heats and
Harry Lewis, senior sprinter taken
from the intramural fields, also de
monstrated that with a little more ex

their finest freshman teams to date,
this meet gives. promiseof being one
of the outstanding of the year.
The Baby Imps boast two of the top
freshman stars in the south in Woodson
Venable, former Durham high school
star, and Bill Emmett. Venable has to
his credit many freestyle titles, his
latest being the Carolinas AAU 200

not as well known locally as Venable, is
one of the outstanding backstrokers in
the state and will probably swim in
this event against the Carolina frosh.

Grapplers Undergo
Light Practice
Drill Yesterday
. Well satisfied with the performance
of his varsity grapplers against VMI
last Saturday, Coach Chuck Quinlan
ran the wrestlers through a light drill
to loosen up the weekend kinks yester
day. The Tar Heels came close to scor
ing an upset against the Keydets and
only lost by a scant two-point margin
to a superior VMI team.
The matmen were drilled on their
mistakes and lost opportunities with
most of the team coming in for a good
deal of praise over their performance.
Several loose ends have to be taken up
in wrestling technique, however, be
fore the grunt-and-groaners will be
ready to take on W&L in what is ex
pected to be the toughest match of the
year.
Varsity men Gene Davant, Bill Red-
fern, and Sam Mordecai showed up
particularly well against the Keydets
and all three boys show promise of
turning in fine bouts during the rest of
the campaign. Quinlan expects to have
the team in perfect shape by this Sat
urday and the team is gunning to return
from Lexington with their third vic
tory of the year.
Cagers Seek Second Win Over Davidson
Tar Baby Five Battles Hams ffif
Frosh Quint
After Sixth
Win of Season
By Earle Hellen
After a week's absence from the hard
wood activities, the Carolina freshman
basketball team returns to action to
night at 7 o'clock when the Golden
Dragons of Hanes high of Winston-Sal
em, state class B champs last year,
invade Woollen' gym to meet the Tar
Babies.
Visitors in five out of six games this
year, the up and coming Tar Babies are
favored to add another win to their
victory striner. The frosh have de
feated the Wake Forest yearlings twice,
Durham high, High Point high, and
Lynn's White Flash, while losing only
to the State freshmen.
Hanes Has Veteran Team
Hanes high brings a veteran team
to Chapel Hill and should offer the Tar
Babies plenty of stiff opposition. The
Golden Dragons are undefeated in high
school circles this year having copped
10 straight games. Last year Hanes
won the state class B championship
and is the favorite to make it two
straight this year. A tall forward, Joe
Sheets, is the scoring leader for the
Golden Dragons and he is rated one
of the top court performers ever to
play for the Winston-Salem school.
Coach Doc Siewert's five has been
hot and cold in previous games. In some
tilts the Tar Babies have at times
shown flashes of brilliance and at other
times they have played mediocre ball.
Against Wake Forest last week the
team played its most consistent game
of the year and kept up a steady pace
of good ball throughout the contest.
Siewert is hoping that the club has
found itself to settle down and play
the brand of ball that it is capable of
the rest of the season. .

Coach Jamerson
Gives Out Praises
To Blue Dolphins
George Coxhead, Whit Lees, Jim Bar
clay, Denny Hammond, Bill Elmore and
Jack Eshelman were singled out by
Coach Dick Jamerson yesterday for
their superior work Saturday in the
Blue Dolphins' first home meet of the
season. The team defeated VMI, 46-29,
to maintain its undefeated standing for
this year.
Perhaps Coxhead's performance was
the least expected, but his rate of im
provement this year had led one to
believe that he would hit a new high.
George had a bit of bad luck in the
50-meter race and lost out to VMI's
Joe Wilkins by a bare inch; but he
rallied in the 100-meter event to come
home first after snatching the lead
away from Wilkins in the last 50 me
ters. Both his times were the best he
has recorded this year.
Barclay and Hammond added some
more records to their totals. Ham
mond's new mark is perhaps more out

Don Budge Wanted to Become
Drummer, But Became World's
Top Ranking Tennis Star
By Ben McKinnon
Incredible as it sounds, J. Donald Budge, instigator of the present profes
sional tennis tour which stops at Carolina on February 11 and only man to
hold the top tennis titles of four countries at one time, was forced to begin
playing tennis.
Don's childhood ambition was to become a drummer in a dance band, but
his brother, Lloyd, was determined to make a tennis player of the red-haired
youngster. Lloyd persuaded Don to
enter a high school tennis tournament.
"Red" did so and won so easily that he
was convinced that tennis was a "sissy"
game. Lloyd, who is now a well-known
pro himself, began to drill tennis into
his reluctant brother. More than once
Don wanted to "quit the game," but
gradually he began to love tennis, to
live and breathe the game.
Winner of Many Titles
Don moved along steadily until he
earned the title of World's Amateur
Champion and established a record
which has never been equalled in the
history of tennis. In a single year, the
Dynamic Budge captured the four ma
jor tennis championships of the world.
Not even Tilden or Perry had ever
been able to hold the crowns of United
States, England, France and Australia
at one time. In 1938, Budge made a
"grand slam" and held all four of these
titles.
Budge's tennis game is hard and fast
and he believes that the best defense
is a good offense. He knows his strokes
and when to use them. Big Red does
not depend solely on slugging the ball
but is one of the craftiest court tac
ticians. He does believe, however, that
what an opponent can't see, he can't
hit.
Budge, a Jitterbug
Budge does not smoke or drink, but
has one passion. He is a jitterbug! He
knows all the orchestra leaders and
loves to swap orchestra lingo with them.
He also likes to sing but his voice has
been described as a "cloudy baritone."
At that, it is easy to locate his hotel
room if you are one the right floor.
Budge has a perfect build, tremen
dous qualities of concentration, a re
ceptive mind, a forceful personality,
a connon ball service and an ability to
"take" adverse decisions. Add these
qualities together and you have in the
opinion of Big Bill Tilden, "the great
est tennis player who ever lived."

Snappy Drill
The Carolina boxing team, recovering
from its 5 -2 setback at the hands
of the Citadel mittmen, stressed the
weak points uncovered in the bouts with
the conference champions in a snappy
practice session yesterday.
Coach Ronman was pleased with the
exhibitions turned in by his men against
the South Carolinians and singled out
heavyweight Walt "Williams and Cap
tain Johnny Johnston for the most
praise. If Williams develops hfs de
fense, loses a little weight and perfects
his counter-attack, he should develop
into a first-rate heavyweight in the
opinion of Ronman. Johnston is the
most polished puncher on the squad
and gave an excellent account of him
self in Saturday's bout in which he
earned a draw with the Cadet's Lloyd
Williams in a close match that could
have gone either-way.
The Tar Heels have a large order to
fill this weekend when they travel
northward for a card of bouts with
the strong ring team of Penn State,
Coach Ronman's alma mater. The
Pennsylvania school perenially has one
of the top teams in the East and this
year's squad ranks with the best.
In the first three meets the Tar Heels
have forfeited one weight to their op
ponents. Against the VPI ringmen
Carolina lacked a 120-pounder. Against
the" teams of Virginia and the Citadel,
a 155-pounder. For the first time this
season Coach Ronman hopes to have a
full team of eligible men to use against
the Penn Staters.
The University of Kentucky is one
of only eight schools in the southeast
offering the Ph.D. degree.
Phantoms Oppose
Scrappy Wildcats
Here Tonight
By Ben Snyder
Carolina's unpredictable Whit
Phantoms should live up to expecta
tions tonight as they go against Da
vidson's Wildcats in a basketball game
slated to get under-way at 8 : 30 in Wool
len gym.
Victors, 39-22, over Davidson in a
December game played at Charlotte,
Bill Lange's team should have little
difficulty in repeating this evening, al
though the visitors are noted for a
determined, hard-fighting brand of
ball. With the conference schedule half
completed tonight's visitors stand at
the bottom of the heap, having lost five
consecutive games, while Carolina,
posting five victories and two defeats
occupies fifth spot in the sectional
rankings.

38-36 count, Davidson rose to the
heights during the first half and held
the Gamecocks well in check. It was
only by dint of a last minute rally that
the Columbia quint was able to pull
away to a 30-22 victory and if the Wild
cats can approach that early season
form tonight, Carolina might be in for
an interesting ball game.
On the strength of a surging rebound
that clipped VMI's wings by a 49-28
margin here on Friday night, Lange's
Tar Heels should come home with their
sixth conference win. The entire squad
is in good shape and appears ready to
defend an undefeated home record this
week against the Wildcat invaders to
night and Duke's league-leading Blue
Devils on Saturday night.
It will be interesting to see if the
Cats pull a zone defense on Carolina

Conquers Spencer
In Close Contest
Smith edged out Spencer 13-11 yes
terday in a slow contest to count their
second straight win of the coed intra
league basketball tournament.
Marked by close guarding and in
effective shooting, the game was rather
colorless. Spencer took an early lead,,
when Kay Goold dropped in two one
handed shots for four points. Connie
Grigsby and Betsy Ross Howe, who
sank a beautiful hook shot, evened the
score at four-all by the end of the first
quarter.
In the second period Smith gained
the lead, never to relinquish it. Al
though leading 13-8 at the end of the
third quarter, they were held scoreless
in the fourth by Spencer, whose late ;
rally fell just short of tying it up. Ken
nedy performed nicely on the defense
for the victors.
A rough Town sextet eked out a 22-19
victory over a strong Mclver sgo&i
Thursday to establish themselves as
strong contenders for the Red League
crown along with Smith.
