CAROLINA SPORTS HEADING into the most active weekend
in years. That's the story of this week's doings around Woollen
gym, where winter sports athletes are hard at the task" of prepar
ing for tough battles.
The White Phantoms, who have played six games in the past 11 days and
who just Monday night lost their first game in two years to New York
University, have probably the biggest test in store that being games with
VPI and Davidson in Southern conference competition.
Coach Tom Scott's hardwood performers, who have a record of three wins
and two losses in loop play, have a tough road ahead in conference play and ;
are in bad need for the victories over the Virginia Tech lads and Davidson.
And both games promise to be close indeed, what with Davidson defeating
South Carolina twice during the past week and VPI doing some good playing j starts
Pi Phi Defeats
Tri Belt Team
Captures Loop Lead
In Coed Basketball
The Pi Beta Phi basketball team
took undisputed leadership of the sor
ority league last night as they swept
the Tri Delt cage sextet from the
ranks of the unbeaten in a hard
fought, 22-16 win. It was the winners'
second victory in a like number of
ap in the Cavalier state. Following the battles this weekend, Carolina will
have to face Duke twice, State once, Davidson once, and Georgia Tech.
Glancing back for a minute to the NYU encounter Monday night, and
giving credit where credit is due, lanky Bob Paxton, the veteran of two
years of Phantoming with the best of them, deserves more praise than we
are ableto hand out. Jim Hamilton and Jim White along with him, too, de
serve thanks for their play. Paxton, who for the past two years and even now
is as good a rebound man as there is in the nation, has been one of the main
things holding the Tar Heel quint together this season. He has played with
out relief twice in one week, and his job will continue the same from here
oa out, only harder.
Scott's Phants played their hearts out against the tough invaders from
New York, and even in loss the entire bunch deserves plenty of credit. They
were out there sweating and playing with all their might, even in losing.
And they will be doing just the same thing trying with all their might in
the rest of their games this year, and unless we miss our guess, they will
walk into the conference tournament and make their presence known in no
ascertain terms.
Come Saturday, there will be a full afternoon and night program, the Blue
Dolphins swimming against Tennessee and the wrestlers meeting Washing
ton and Lee in the afternoon; and the Phants facing Davidson and the
boxers fighting Maryland at night. This marks the first time in years that
all winter varsity sports have been scheduled for local competition on the
same day, and it offers local sports enthusiasts a real day of thrilling enter
tainment. The swimmers even top off the afternoon meet by going to Ealeigh
that night to swim in the Carolinas AAU meet.
IT'S A FACT DEPT. NYU's powerful basketball team was feted en masse
at the TEP fraternity house following the game here Monday night. All
the visiting basketballers praised the Carolina hospitality and thoroughly
enjoyed themselves with the refreshments at the frat house reception. . .The
outlawing of the shift from football competition in the NCAA will not affect
the Tar Heels to any great extent. Carl Snavely has not had much to say
about the shift as yet, but from our observations it will not mean any too
drastic changes in Carolina formations. Practice, incidentally, begins next
Monday for Tar Heel newcomers and all those regulars who plan to take
part in varsity sports during the spring quarter. . A note following up the
Navy-Duke game. We had lunch Saturday with former Carolina Coach Ben
Carnevale, and he asked that he be remembered to all his friends in Chapel
Hill, We pass this along with a reciprocal greeting to "Coach Ben" and con
gratulations to him for his success at Navy this year. . .Tickets go on sale
today for the Southern Invitational indoor track meet to be held in Woollen
gym March 1. There will be available seats only for about A&uu spectators, ph0ne.

evening competition.
Helen Barnes was high scorer for
the Pi Phis, scoring 10 tallies, while
Judy Swain paced the losers with
12 points. The Tri Delts had previous
ly defeated the Chi Omegas and the
Alpha Gams, with the Pi Phis hav
ing also defeated the latter in their
other win.

are asked to be on time. Ranson
further added that he wished to see

Third Victory
Meet Series Tied
At Three Wins Each
Special to Daily Tar Heel
Annapolis, Md. Feb. 4 The
Tar Heel swimming team will
meet the Naval Academy tank-
men here this afternoon in an
intersectional meet between the
two teams. Carolina will be out
to win its third tilt out of four
starts.
Navy's mermen will be strongly fa
vored to defeat the local swimmers
for the second straight year. The An
napolis crew has a well-balanced team
and will have the psychological ad
vantage of swimming in its home pool.
Carolina will be out to gain revenge
for the loss hung on the squad last
year by the Middies, ruining a Tar
Heel victory streak of 21 consecutive
meets. In a triangular meet at Anna
polis last year, Navy snapped two
victory strings a skein of 25 straight
for Carolina, in addition to blotting
the local meremen's record.
Tied for Series
The two tank squads are tied up
3-3 for their swimming series thus
far. The Middies took the meets in
1941, 1943, and 1946. The Carolina
swimmers scuttled tne .aiiasnipmea
in 1942, 1944, and 1945.
Carolina will have the following

220: Hutton.
Diving: Sper, Crone.
