TAR HEELING: One big question mark shines brightly
around the Carolina campus tonight as we write this a ques
tion mark that comes at the end of "have we, will we, when."
Referring it is, naturally, to the matter of the bid to the east
ern half of the N.C.A.A. basketball tournament which hangs
in balance it seems between Carolina and its neighbor rival,
Duke. ' . .-. -
Floods of rumors scuttlebutt to the salts have been
streaming across the campus ever since the week-end, but
nothing tangible has been arrived at as yet.
For the sake of all concerned we will attempt to put to
gether all the available facts and interpret them, to the best
of our ability.
The problem that prevails at present was first brought
about with the upset at the hands of a hot, scrapping Wake
Forest team in the semi-finals of the SC tourney last Friday,
for at that time Carolina was No. 1 in consideration for the
N.C.A.A. bid and had but to clinch the crown for the formal
invitation. -
However, with the Tar Heels eliminated from the tourna
ment, it left a gigantic decision. Should the tournament com
mittee take the results of the one game a loss to the Dea
cons in higher consideration than the 27-3 previous record
of the Phantoms through a long, hard season?
This right now rema'ins unanswered, but according to re
liable sources, two of the District No. 3 N.C.A.A. committee
members still considered Carolina the best team in the dis
trict Sunday with Kentucky in the National Invitational play
offs. With this in mind, all expectations pointed to Carolina's
receiving a bid yesterday morning. But no official bid ar
rived, just a feeler. Duke, the Southern conference title
holder, had apparently started a definite movement for the
bid itself.
Now tonight, as we go to press it seems thusly: No official
invitation has come, nor has one gone to Duke, but something
is expected on the situation either tonight or in the morning.
As to whether Carolina would accept or not, that has been a
major question also, but although no statement can be given
out by the athletic department, it is our belief from our ob
servations that the athletic council would accept if 'the bid
was sent this way.
It is our firm opinion that Carolina should accept the in
vitation if it comes, and we believe that we speak for the en
tire student body. The Phantoms have had a truly great
season, and one such loss to Wake Forest, even if it did come
in the SC tournament, should not dis-record the other 27 vic
tories, victories that have come over NYU the recognized
national leader, Navy and St. Joseph. All there is left to do is
wait, and hope for the best!
OFFICIAL MURAL NOTE: After considerable discussion
and comment, here is the disposition of the cage tourney:
The No. 1 teams in each league will meet for the campus title.
The No. 2 teams in each league, decided in playoffs, will meet
for a consolation crown and points will be given for it.

Marine Outfit
Breaks Record
In 145-18 Win
BVP Downed In
One-Sided Tilt
Marines No. 1 broke all pre
cedents in intramural basketball
yesterday, establishing a new
victory margin by dumping BVP,
145-18. The win gave the Ma
rine quint a tie with ROTC 4th
company tor tne dorm league
championship.
Yesterday's fray was domina
ted by the Marines from the start.
After 7 1-2 minutes, the Marines
held a 30-0 lead and ran the score
up to 62-6 at half time.
BVP's bid to cut the margin
in the final half was lost to the
brilliant Marine offensive. Mit
chell was High scorer with 54
markers, but the entire quint
found the basket an easy target.
The Marines will meet ROTC
4th company Wednesday at 5
o'clock in a'climax to the dorm
season. The winner will become
the dormitory champion and will
meet SAE No. 2, fraternity win
ners, for campus honors.

a game slated tomorrow. If yes
terday's winners come through

place. Young, with 3.3 points,
led yesterday's play.
Pika displayed its late-season
form in tripping Sigma Chi. The
Pikas held the lead most of the
game, holding a 17-12 half-time
margin. Adams led the scorers
with 11 tallies.

Intramural managers of six
fraternity and three dormitory
basketball squads will meet this
afternoon at 3 o'clock to decide
as to whether there should be a
tournament to determine runner
ups in respective cage leagues.
In the frat circuit, DKE, KA,
Kappa Sig, Phi Gam, Phi Kappa
Sig, and Zeta Psi are in a six
way tie for second place. Mana
gers of these teams will decide
today if a playoff seems prac
tical. Two quints, Marines No. 1 and
ROTC 4th company, are tied
for the dorm league leadership
and will play off Wednesday. The
loser will automatically become
runner-up. However ROTC 3rd
company, Steele, and Marines
No. 2 each have one setback,
and a play off may be held here
to determine third place.
The meeting will be held in
215 Woollen and managers of
the above-mentioned teams are
asked to be present.
sessions will be accelerated as
time goes on.
"We want all old indoor men
to come on out as soon as pos
sible," Coach Ranson said, "and
also any other men who are in
terested and have the will to
work. There is a lot to be done
if we are to give any kind of a
showing at all, and we need an
early start."
Several former track perform
ers at Carolina have returned
recently to take up where they

However, there may be some
more entering school when the
spring quarter begins the last
week in March.
Last season, Carolina had a re
cord of four wins and three
losses, but things should turn
out considerably better this year,
according to Coach Ranson, if
his material comes out as ex
pected. Coach Ranson entered two of
his runners in the IC4A meet in
New York over the week-end,
and Norman McLeod, a veteran
UNC pole vaulter, finished in a
tie for second in his position.
Mark Burnman, a miler, failed
