Carolina has won six games and lost three, but is still ranked in seventh place as compared to State's ninth-place ranking. Another individual dual between Bob Rose, Carolina's captain and ace play er, and Bones McKinney, whose chief claim to fame has been his ability to lead the conference in scoring while still putting on a one-man three-ring circus on the floor. Rose kept McKin ney so busy in the first game of the series here that the famed basketball clown didn't have time to devote to amusing the cash-paid customers. Carolina won that game by the im pressive 41-28 score, but hit the bottom on the following Tuesday when Wake Forest trounced the Phantoms, 36-30. The Tar Heels won the following two games with Virginia Military Insti tute and Davidson, but last Saturday Duke copped a 52-40 victory over the Phantoms. State's recent showing against Wake Forest was far better than was Caro lina's against the Deacs. The Techs outplayed the Deacons for 30 minutes, but were barely edged out, 44-43, on a last second field goal.

Today's dual meet will also provide the frosh with some stiff opposition in prepping for the Conference in door games on the 28th, for Jefferson high won the scholastic championship in that same meet last winter and stands a good chance of repeating again this year in the scholastic division of the games.

HILL lAiW hK SHtiH Phone 4851 Opposite Post Office Night: F-2156 Tar Babies Seek Revenge Over State Yearlings By Earle Hellen The Tar Baby cagers take on the role of giant killers tonight when they go to Raleigh to battle the undefeated State frosh five in what is expected to be one of the hottest freshman bas ketball games of the year. The game will start at 6:30 o'clock as all pre liminaries are started early at State. The Techlets have been rolling mer rily over all opposition this year and seem to be headed for an undefeated season. They have defeated 12 oppon ents and the Tar Babies are among the list. State put on a wild last min ute scoring spree to wallop the Tar Babies, 56-45, here earlier in the sea son. Tar Babies Seek Revenge The Tar Babies have not forgotten that game and are out to redeem them selves tonight. They held a nine-point lead at the half and at one time were out in front by 13 points, but the State crew starting clicking in great style in the last ten minutes and the local frosh split wide open enabling the Tech- minutes State has had only one close call all year outside of the game with Carolina, that was Tuesday night when they were held to a 40-35 victory over Camp bell college. In most of their games the Techlets have. scored over fifty points. The club is by far the best yearling team that the West Raleigh school has turned out in many years. The leaders for Coach Leroy Jay five are two Ashe ville boys, Dick Nickel and Joe Johns, who were the pacesetters in the State win over the Tar Babies. Coach Doc Siewert's club has won eight out of nine games this season See FROSH CAGERS, page A Frosh Football Team To Meet for Picture All members of the Carolina freshman football team who dressed for the Duke-Carolina frosh game are requested to report to Woollen gym this morning at 10:30 to have their pictures taken for the year book. This is the last time an effort will be made to get the group to gether, and Freshman Coach Jim Tatum has urged that all boys make an effort to be present. show their stuff and prove just what i kind of a yearling outfit the Tar Heels have. The meet will be conducted in the same style as in the big indoor event later in the month and the same sche dule prevails this afternoon as is used in the freshman division of that great track classic. The ? 60-yard dash, 70 yard high hurdles, 1000-yai;d run, high jump and mile relay comprise the day's program. George Belli will probably give the Tar Babies a boost in the hurdle event, as will freshmen hurdlers Norm Davis and Joe Corpening. Hubbard Maynard and John Wells should show up well for the frosh in the dash and Bill Mc Kenzie, John Auten, Tom Morton and Davis will lead Carolina in the high jump. The make-up of the mile relay team is not certain as yet, but the fast est quartet of quarter-milers that can be mustered from the freshman crew will undoubtedly go to the post FLOWERS THE PERFECT GIFT FOR YOUR : VALENTINE V W W TV W MT WW W W S.

The fast-moving Tar Heels, at full strength and in mid-season form, are expected to add the Gobbler scalp to their vic tory belt once the bout gets under way at 7 o'clock. Quinlan's regular varsity crew will enter the fray against the thrice beat en Techmen. Bill Redfern, scrappy 121 pounder who has been running in hard luck all season, will once again be the Tar Heel entry in that weight. McKeever Ready to Go Hobart McKeever, returning to his early season form, will wrestle at 128 pounds. McKeever, runner-up in the conference, shows promise of becoming top wrestler in his weight in Southern circles. His smooth style and aggres sive tactics make him a favorite to night. In the 135-pound division John "Mose" Robinson will wear the Caro lina colors. Robinson has steadily pro gressed in his wrestling, turning in his best performance of the year last week against W&L's captain Tom Fuller. "Legs" Davant will see action in the 145-pound class against VPI's best. Davant one of the team's leading grap plers should win his match in ready style. Sam Mordecai After Fifth Win The squad's ace, "Superman Morde cai, at 155 pounds, will attempt to make it five in a row over his VPI opponent. Mordecai has won every match since the season's opener against Navy, and is the top-wrestler on the varsity.

That's just one example how swimming has improved at Carolina in the past two years. . The team which Jamerson was try ing to select will swim in Durham to morrow in the Duke pool in the national junior 400-yard freestyle relay in the first event of the Carolinas AAU meet which will be held here Saturday after noon.

Budge started out like a whirlwind and captured the first set before Perry could get warmed up. The second set see-sawed both ways with Perry fight ing for every point and finally running it out at 6-4. , Budge was not to be denied in the last set, however, and forged to a 4-3 lead. Perry, who ran almost into the stands to retrieve many difficult shots, pulled up to 4-5 but was unable to break the flaming red-head's serve and Budge took the set and match. Play throughout the contest was fast and furious with Budge leading the way with his world-famous backhand. Riggs Beats Stoefen In the first match, diminutive Bobby Riggs, playing a steady, consistent game outlasted the giant Stoefen to win 4-b, b-J, and b-4. Kiggs gained an early lead in the first set but Stoe fen, substituting for Kovacs whose wrist is still taped from an arm injury, playing a smashing net game, which kept the crowd cheering, came back to win 6-4. Riggs swept through the sec ond set and established a 5-3 lead in the last one. Stoefen, with his cannon- ball serve, came up to 5-4 but could not outlast the peanut-sized dynamo and Riggs captured the match. Players Clown In the doubles play, which was more farce than a tennis match, Budge and Kovacs teamed up to turn down Riggs and Stoefen in straight sets, 6-2 and 6-4. Kovacs, playing with a taped wrist, ed the players through a two-set com edy in which even Budge took a part. In one exchange Kovacs threw his racket to his left hand and executed a neat placement which prompted Budge to say, "He plays better with his left hand than with his right." Several times the clown prince oi tennis threw up four balls at once when serv ing. Riggs and Stoefen had quite a time also and loDDea several an tne way out of the playing court. Budge now has a substantial lead of 25 won and 10 lost. Riggs is second with 17 won and 14 lost. The professional troupe, which is sponsored by Alexis Thompson's East West Sporting Club, is now playing a national round robin which began on December 26 and will last through May. Immediately after the game the four players and the entire personnel left or Richmond where they will play to morrow night. THOUGH H&S 6fr.5fi.
