Tough Service
Quint Tonight
McKinney, Dillon
Do Not Make Trip
By Irwin Smallwood
Crippled by the loss of two first
string" performers, the Carolina
basketball team will play its 29th
and final game of the regular
season tonight, meeting the Lit
tle Creek, Va., sailor five at Nor
folk at 8 o'clock. The Tar Heels
will be trying for win No. 27,
having dropped only two games
the entire year thus far.
Dillon and McKinney
Johnnie Dillon and Bones Mc
Kinney, both pivot men in the
Carnevale offense, are confined
to the hospital this weekend with
an infected arm and a bad cold
respectively, but both are expec
ted to be out early next week,
and certainly in time for the
Southern conference tournament
the last three days of the week.
McKinney, who also missed the
Catawba game Wednesday night,
has been in the infirmary since
last Tuesday, and Dillon was ad
mitted Thursday.
"With McKinney and Dillon
we had a good chance to beat
them,". Coach Carnevale said
yesterday, "but with both out it
is going to be tough indeed to
turn back the strong service
quint. It will be up to the sub
stitutes this time."
Tourney Starts-Thursday -Following
the season finale to
night, Carolina will be resting
until the opening game of the
loop tourney next Thursday night
in Raleigh. Pairings have not
been announced yet, but they
should be forthcoming early next
week. Carolina will get the No. 1
position, and Duke No. 2, with
Maryland and VPI coming in the

Here are a few of the standouts in the record field of 39 teams and 286 stars who will compete
in the Southern Invitation Indoor championships at Chapel Hill Saturday.
Montgomery was the big star of last year's meet, winning both jumps and vaulting higher than
anyone else ever vaulted in the South. His duel with McLeod, the former Southern champ, will
be a highlight.
Dodson, who is already Southern champ at a half-mile, will try the ironman and double against
the speedy Devlin and Scupine in the quarter.
Hills and Durst are both Southeastern Conference titleholders. New marks seem certain in both
their events, for the other shot-putters include two Penn Relay winners and the two-milers in
. elude a former National Champion. i
three and four slots.
Lineup for tonight's scrap will
find Jim Jordan at the pivot po
sition, Don Anderson and Bob
Paxton at forwards, and Tay
lor Thorne and Jim White at the
guards. Red Hughes, Roger
Scholbe and Jim Hayworth will
more than likely see a lot of ac
tion, being in line as subs.
Coach Hearn would like all
baseball team candidates to meet
Monday, February 25th at two
o'clock in room 304, Woollen

March Has Fine Service
Record As Well As Track
He's a much-decorated air ace and a full-fledged Lieutenant Com
mander now, but to his many friends here, Harry March, who is
coming back to run in the Southern indoor track classic here Sat
urday, is still the "one-man track team" from Carolina.
Commander March, who shot f
down a dozen-odd Jap Zeroes in
the Pacific, will be carrying the
colors of the Norfolk Naval Air
Station, but the Carolina coaches
and boys he was in college with
will be pulling for the Washing
ton, D. C, flier to star just as
they did in his days here.
That w7as back in 1938-40, and
during his senior year, March
just took part in four events and
averaged 16 points, or better
than three first places a meet,
for the whole season. He even
hit a 20 against the great Navy
team, and he was undefeated in
his specialty, the low and high
hurdles.
Also a consistent winner in
both the high and broad jump

e
and a better-than-average per
former in any event on the card,
March topped off his career by
winning the 400-meter hurdles
at the Penn Relays and the Na
tional Pentathlon Champion
ship. The latter stamped him as the
No. 1 performer in the country
for the five events, and he would
have been one of the leading can
didates for the Olympics if the
international event had not been
suspended that year due to the
war.
March will try the ironman
again here Saturday, entering
both the hurdle races and both
the jumps, and his ex-coaches at
Carolina say the spectators at
the annual indoor classic are in
for a one-man show, as March
is one of the greatest competi
tors they ever tutored.
He'll have plenty of competi
tion to spur him on to his best,
too, for the record field of 39
teams and 286 contestants is
headed by such strong teams as
Carolina, Duke, Georgia Tech,
Cherry Point, and the Little
Creek Amphibious Base.
The latter team includes one
former National Champion, a
Big Ten and Penn Relay win
ner, an NCAA and ICAAA title
holder, and three ex-National In
terscholastic champs. Cherry
Point shaded Carolina for runner-up
honors last year.

- BRIEFS'
Bridges To Pitch
New York, Feb. 22. In the
spring, a young man's fancy
and sometimes an older man's too
turns to thoughts of hitting
the baseball trail.
Now it is Tommy Bridges,
with 15 years of big-league com
petition under his belt, who is
champing at the bit. Tommy is
listed as a coach with the De
troit Tigers but he has asked
Manager Steve O'Neill to put
him back on the active playing
list. And Steve says he's going
to do it.
The 39-year-old Bridges has a
special reason for wanting to
take the mound again. Tommy
needs only seven more wins to
hit the 200-victory mark in the
American League. And he'd like
to end his career in that charm
ed circle.
Tommy's nearest competitor in
the race for 200 wins is Bobo
Newsom, the talkative Philadel
phia Athletic hurler, who has
racked up 180 wins.
door classic will get under way
at 1 :30 Saturday, but most of the
18 finals will be packed into the
colorful three-ring night show
in Woollen Gymnasium from
7:30 to 10 p.m. All seats will be
reserved, and only about 1,500
were left tonight.
Those Duke-Carolina arch ri
vals headed the nine Southern
Conference entries again, but
Georgia Tech's Southeastern
leaders loomed a dark horse, and
the co-favorites were Cherry
Point, the 1945 runner-up, and
the Little Creek Amphibs.
Cherry Point Stars
The latter's roster is studded
with big-name stars from
throughout the country, includ
ing two former Pen Relay shot
put winners, Fortune Gordon
and Norman Wasser; and three
former National Interscholastic
Champions, all middle distance
men, Bob Quinlan, Ed Morgan,
and Harris Ross.
Ted Vogel from Camp Peary
is a former National 10,000-met-ers
Champion, and Lt. Comdr.
Harry March from Norfolk Air
Station is an ex-National Penta
thlon winner.
George Hills and Dave Durst
from Tech are the Southeastern
champions in the shot and two
mile, respectively, and the de
fending champions are due back
in five events Carolina's Bob
Dodson in the 880, Cherry
Point's Don Hansen in the dash,
and its John Montgomery, who
both jumps and the vault to be
the big star of the 1945 Games.
One-Man Track Teams
The "one-man track teams"
who will be in the spotlight in
clude Montgomery, March,
State's Mike Andrews, who won
two first and placed in four
other events at his last Carolinas
A.A.U. meet, and Carolina's Don
Clayton who once scored 45
points singlehanded in a high
school meet.
When national-ranking stars
like these hook up with one an
ther and with the rest of the
ecord field, the result is due to
e some of the finest competition
in Dixie track history, and there
is a good chance for the hot
test marks the South ever saw
in at least three events.
These are the two mile, where
Vogel and Morgan have just
surpassed the present mark by
30 seconds ; the shot put, where
Gordon, Wasser, and Hills have
all bettered the existing record
by 2 to 3 feet ; and the pole vault,
w7here an ex-Conference champ
may push Montgomery to better
his previous Dixie high.
All nine of the leading South
ern Conference track teams will
be represented including David-
son, uuKe, jnaryiana, iNortn
Carolina, N. C. State, South
Carolina, V.M.I., Virginia Tech,
and Wake Forest.
Among the North Carolina
high schools in the record entry
of 39 teams will be Charlotte
Central, Durham, Greensboro,
Greenville, Raleigh Methodist
Orphanage, Raleigh, and San-
ford.
