A few simple rules, apparently foreign to the Woollen Gym hoop society, were laid down by the cagey dowager, which, if followed, promise to afford all an enjoyable four quarters of peaceful basketball if not a winning team. Point number one on Miss Post's list of rules concerned the stripe-shirt phenomena known as officials.- Contrary to popular belief, the officials, as Miss Post points out, do have fathers and should be treated in the same kindly manner as other wayward waifs. During the years since Dr. Naismith first threw a lop-sided sphere through a rickety peck basket, a fable has been handed down that the officials are on the floor for the sole purpose of cheating the hbme team. Their job, according to Miss Post, is to call the plays as they see them. Although most fans, from their vantage points high up in the corner of row triple Z can see the plays better than the officials on the floor, basketball custom has it that these glass-eyed thieves must stay on the floor, close to the players, and try to call the fouls, etc., from there. Peeling Off THEN, TOO, MISS POST asks us to remember that basketball officials are at a disadvantage in comparison with their football brethren. Those who call the same misplays of . the gridiron sport are protected from the fanatics by a stretch of green grass and an armed array of policemen. They, unlike the basketball referees, are not subjected to violent bronichial Bronx salutes because the howling patrons are forced to sit in seats roped off a safe distance from the field of combat. Then, too, with all the pileups and min gling of human limbs, many of their mistakes go undetected. Those who are careful purveyors of the basketball error are sometimes too involved with the spirits of the game to catch the same mis takes at Kenan Stadium. Thus we have point one of basquette forget the point spread and remember the officials. Most of them are henpecked, anyhow. Miss Post's second point concerns the flying of paper airplanes. Admittedly, the vast Woollen Gym could easily be mistaken for a converted hanger, but it is hardly the place for juvenile test pilots to try their aeronautical ability with sharp-pointed dive bombers The players have a hard enough time watching the ball without having to bother to drag off an aerial inspiration that has cracked up at mid-court. A program is something you can't tell the players without and should only be used as such (except when you want to bean the poor soul in front of you after Carolina has gone out front by one point with only three seconds remaining in the game) There's no sense throwing the programs to the players on the court to read. They already know who's in the game. Sitting Pretty THE BASQUETTE CHAPTER'S final point concerns baby sit ting. The coaches, members of the opposing teams, and already cussed and discussed officials are concerned with the game. As much as they might enjoy it, they have little time to tote a tad upon their knee pads during the fracas. Children at basketball games should be heard and not seen. It seems that the Chapel Hill prac tice has been to dump all of the young 'uns off at Woollen Gym on basketball nights and then pick them up after two hours of leisure their frantic energies completely spent in games of tag, follow the leader, and the newest and most popular one, Trip-'Em When - They - Drive - For-Crips,-Boys-They-Fall-So-Hard-That-Way. They're all ready for beddy-bye by then Although each game presents Davidson Is First Foe At 8 Q'Glock The Carolina wrestling team, building for one of its most suc cessful seasons in recent years, meets Davidson College here to night in a Southern Conference match. The Wildcats come to Woollen Gymnasium to open the season at 8 p.m. Coach Sam Barnes' Tar Heels have been impressive in pre-sea-son workouts and figure to be greatly irrfproved over last sea son's freshman and sophomore dominated team. Missing from the starting line up is ace Tommy Coxe but most i of last year's team returns intact, j Several regulars may miss the opening meet, including Earl Ken dric, Miles Gregory and Tommy Stokes, but the Tar Heels will put a strong team on the mat for the ppening encounter. Harry Pawlik, captain, and Ed die Haines, Pete McGehee, Harvey Bradshaw and Andy Holt return from the 1951-52 team and will get good help from several new comers. Arthur Gregory, Norman Lane, Phil Woods, and Gordon Forester are the best looking first year men. The Davidson match is the Tar Heels only test before the first of the year when they tackle the Strongest schedule in the Southern Conference. Barnes team meets every loop wrestling team with Duke, West Virginia, Maryland and Virginia Tech among the toughest. The Citadel, V.M.I., N. C. State, Virginia and Washing ton and Lee, all winners over the Tar Heels last season, are among other upcoming opponents.

One of the kids in class turned to him and said, "Mister, do you hafta stay in this class?" "No," Frank replied. "Well, what in the world are you staying for?" Frank is wondering the same thing about himself concerning the School of Education. 1 HOLIDAY SCHEDULE AT THE BOOKSHOP UNTIL DECEMBER 25TH We'll work our fingers to the bone to moke your Christmas happy.

Made up of chemistry and chemical engineering students who excel on the gridiron, the team was named as a tribute to "those boys in the colleges and universities of the nation who have been able to combine the demands of high-powered, preci sion football with the even greater demands of the classroom and lab oratory required for a degree in chemistry or chemical engineer ing," the magazine explains in announcing its first All-American selections. Patterson, a sophomore at Car olina, played at an offensive guard position throughout the sea son. When Junior Seawell, reg ular defensive linebacker, was in jured in the UNC-Tennessee con test, Patterson stepped into his shoes and became a defensive star also. Other members of the team all students at institutions accred ited by the American Chemical Society are: backs Frey Wyant, West Virginia; Earl Byrne, Princeton; Bob Engel, Cornell, and Dick Balzhiser, Michigan; linemen John Steinberg, Stan ford; John Hall, Vanderbilt; Bob Burkhart, Case Institute of Tech nology; Tom Fieldson, Washing ton and Lee; Dick Pakos, Carnegie Tech; and Roy Ritter, Case.
