Captain Gene Davant gave the Tar

pinned Dave Embry in 2:10 of the sec

continued the sensational Carolina
performances when they chalked up
two more pins for the Tar Heel en
try. Sam, one of the top notch grap
plers in the conference 155-pound
class, pinned Doug House of W&L's
champs in 1:05 of the third period.

champion back this year. Duke's great
football star, who also holds the con
ference record, will attempt to smash
his own mark this afternoon in the Tin
Can. His chief competition is expected
to come from a trio of other footballers,
Dick White of Carolina, Bob Gantt of
Duke and Joe Muha of VMI. An un
heralded Maryland sophomore, Horn
may surprise everybody, however.
Ralph Fennell of Clemson is another
defending champion who will attempt
to shatter the meet's oldest record in
the pole vault 13 feet, 6 inches. Jim
Lloyd of Carolina is but one of many
top stars who will be at their best to
night in an effort to upset Fennell.
Duke Alexander, high flying sopho
more scholastic and freshman record
holder in the high jump, will attempt
to add the conference record to his rap
idly expanding list of titles this after
noon. Me nas stated that ne will do
6 feet, 5 inches, better by two inches
than the existing record.
Duel for Individual Honors
Alexander will also be in the duel
for high scoring honors in the meet as
he will participate in two or three other
events. Speculation is rife as to wheth
er , Alexander, Carolina s JYlengel
State's sensational Mike Andrews.
VPI's Paul McMullin or Tennessee
football star Bobby Cifers will take
top honors in the matter of individua
scoring.
The freshman and scholastic events
are also expected to produce their share
of the thrills. Carolina's f rosh team
is expected to take freshman honors
while in the scholastic meet anything
can happen, and probably will!
Outstanding freshman performer
will be Duke's high hurdler Highfill
who won the national indoor champion
ship in Madison Square Garden last
year as a Seton Hall star.
BASKETBALL

was fouled by Don Wilson and the out
come of the game rested on his shoul
ders. He missed and in the ensuing
scramble the game ended.
Carolina Gets Break
In the first minute of the overtime,
Carolina' got a break when Lof tis, the
hotter, fouled out in trying to stop
Bob Rose. Captain Bob missed this
one. Then the tide slowly turned
Dook-ward. Breaking down the floor.
after Garland Lof tis' unsuccessful set
attempt, the Phantoms missed a trio
of easy duck-shots. It was a tough
break, but there was still ample time
in which to come through.
Garland Loftis was awarded a foul
and this time made it. Bobby Ger-
sten missed a heart-breaker from
short range and Hap Spuhler fired in
the clincher with three minutes to go
a silken overhand push shot that
wrote 'finis' to Tar Heel hopes.
Yet there was still life in those in
spired Bantams and with 1 :45 left Reid
Suggs poled one in from close to mid-
court to finish the scoring for the
evening. . Those last moments ticked
of rapidly enough and Duke held
possession of the ball from there on
untill the oh, so bitter end.
Unfortunate Finish
4
It was an unfortunate conclusion to
a notable Carolina attempt. The Ban
tam team that had trailed 12-7 after
ten minutes of play and then rallied
to come within striking distance at
half-time, the Bantam team that
simply wouldn't accept the unwelcome
potion of defeat when all seemed
stacked against them and the Bantam
team that at game's end couldn't rea
lize that it was beaten, had fallen.

University Airport Adopts
Full War Emergency Program
By Westy Fenhagen
Assuming a complete war-time cast, the University's 607-acre Horace Wj.
liams airport has adopted fall government regulations and restrictions for
:he duration of the war, W. R- Mann, manager, announced yesterday.
GRAHAM EXPLAINS
(Continued from page four)
Stacy, Everett, Graham, Lewis and Aycock in the Lower Quad
rangle and Manly, Grimes, Ruff in and Mangum in the Upper
Quadrangle. The nine dormitories, now housing approximately
1,000 students, two-in-a-room, will accomodate 2,000 Cadets and
staff members, four-in-a-room.
Only 300 students must be moved during the spring quarter.
But next fall, it will probably be necessary for students residing
in dormitories not used by the Cadets to live three-in-a-room, as
all students did during the twenties and as many did until the most
recent dormitory expansion.
"Training-table" fare will be provided for the future fliers in
Lenoir Dining hall. Cadet breakfast will be at'six o'clock and the
other two meals will be scheduled not to conflict with student meal
times.
University students as individuals will make many war-sac
rifices before our final victory is achieved. Many have already i

given tneir lives ana many more are yet to aie. .out, as a university
and as a community, this Naval Aviation Cadet physical-condition
ing center will be our biggest single war job.
Victory in this War depends more on the Airmen of the Navy
than on any one group of men. And from now until the War is
won, one-fourth of the Navy's Airmen will be "conditioned" in
Chapel Hill. That's how big the job is and it is our job.
Students, faculty and staff members of the University and the
people of Chapel Hill will take the job grimly determined that
the University of North Carolina Naval Cadet Induction Center
will be "first" among the four "Annapolises of the Air."
Frank P. Graham,
President
found the range and tbok into the lead
11-10, after 9: 10. minutes. .The Blue
Imps stayed in front the remainder of
the half and left the floor with a 28-22
advantage. ,
In the second half Warren and Hart
ley went to work. Hartley converted
a foul to start the ball rolling. .War
ren stole the ball and went in with
a snowbird. It was Warren again a
few seconds later when he was perfect
on a set shot from way out and the
Tar Babies trailed by two points, 29-27.
After Carver made a field goal for
Duke, Hartley made a free throw. War
ren cut the lead to two points when
he fired from the side of the court and
the ball swished through for two points.
Dick Hartley was given two free throws
after Stough's field and he hit the
jack-pot on both. Standing beyond
the foul circle Warren tried a long
shot and missed, but he followed up the
shot beautifully to put the Tar Babies
into the lead, 34-33.
Again, A Job to Bo
AN EDITORIAL x
: Again, the students of the University of North Carolina have
been called upon to sacrifice their own interests in the interest of
their country. And again the students of the University of North
Carolina will gladly make that sacrifice, realizing that in times
of total war the value of any institution or any individual can be
judged only by the measure of its or his sacrifice.
May 1 the first of several thousand American citizens will come
to Chapel Hill to prepare themselves for protecting our rights.
These Aviation Cadets will rise at five o'clock in the morning and
go to bed at nine at night something that the lower quadrangle
has never experienced before. During the sixteen hours of day
light these men will undergo the most intensive physical training
program in all military history. The physical energy which the
first contingent of these cadets will expend in three months here,
if translated into mental exertion would be enough to graduate
them all with a four years B. A. from this college. !
It may be a surprise to a great many of us to see people our own
age working so hard to do something in the future; but by next
fall, when we will have 1,875 cadets here all the time, perhaps even
we as students will have absorbed some of the determination which
we now readily admit we need.
Dr. Frank, in simple terms, has stated the service of the Uni
versity in the past. Since pre-Revolutionary days we have ac
cepted our task and done our job. We, the students, have been the
leaders. We, the students, will again be the leaders.
The navy will make many improvements here on the campus.
In return for these favors it is our responsibility to see that the
stay of these cadets here in Chapel Hill is as pleasant as possible.
They will leave to face the horrors of a situation which a substan
tial portion of the world feels they will prove not equal to.
It is fitting that theoldest state university in the country has
been chosen as one of four "Annapolises of the Air." It is more
fitting that University students fully realize the responsibility that
is theirs.
Simultaneously a capacity group of
30 Carolina students began their CAA
pilot training under the new spring
program.
The airport has been placed under
24-hour police guard seven days a
week, and cameras "are not allowed
within the precincts of the airport,
Mann emphasized.
In addition, applicants for the CAA
pilot training must now undergo the
severest identification process before
being accepted into the training pro
gram. Birth certificates must be pro
cured, identification cards are neces
sary, letters of identification must be
procured, and the applicant's finger
prints must be taken before he is accepted.
No planes are now allowed to take
off from Horace Williams field with
out elaborate clearance papers from
the clearance " officer on duty who
must take down "pages of informa
tion" on length of trip, distance to
be traveled, and other detailed infor
mation. The 30 students now just beginning
their actual flight training after six
weeks of classroom study have all en
rolled with the definite intention of
joining some branch of the United
States air force after graduation,
Mann staged. In addition, many of the
students who have completed their
CAA course recently are going On
with further training and stwo students
plan to purchase second-hand air
planes from the airport in order to
go on with their study.
The present program is the last one
until the summer course beginning
June 1, Mann stated. At that time,
the requirements will be considerably
lowered with a probable age reduction
allowing students of 18 years of age
to enroll.
"The Horace Williams airport is one
