TWU ___ j|Kife|| Smoke Rings George Did It By SAM RAGAN Taking a splice of this and adding it to a bit of that and we wonder how many points George jlamack could score if he wasn’t nearsighted. The lanky Carolina center outscored the rest of the cagers in the Southern conference and during the three day tournament just ended ^ Raleigh he persoiiany notched up 62 points and saw to it that the White Phan toms became the 1940 conference champions._ Unanimous Choice Glamack, who claims that he never sees a basket and that the basketball is only a blur when it is tossed to him, was a unanimous choice for the All-Tournament team, named by the various news agen cies and coaches. And while we are talking about the conference tourney, the victory over Duke Saturday night gave Carolina its seventh basketball championship in conference court meets. The Tar Heels won in At lanta in 1922-24-25-26 in Raleigh in 1935-36. Duke has been in the tourney finals six times but have emerged the victor only once—in 1938 when the Devils defeated Clemson. And the Tar Heel victory pre sents an interesting case of a team which is not the state cham pions but are the conference champs. Duke is the Big Five lead er. The same thing happened in South Carolina last year. The Citadel won the state crown, but Clemson won the conference title. May Be National The first annual mid-winter smallbore rifle shoot tournament which closed here yesterday with much success, may be made into a national event next year. H. E. Boyd, Sr., president of the Wilmington Rifle and Pistol club, says that the local shooting outfit plans to branch out next year and invite marksmen, men and women, from every section of the nation to the shoot. That is, provided that certain changes can be made in the 'ipcat range and a few other details worked out between now and then. It looks from this corner like a good idea. Cage Meet Time its only a snort nowung dis tance away from tjje Sixth annual Star-News-Y. M. C. A. basketball tournament for Southeastern North Carolina teams, and if you want to see what the boys and girls in this section can really do with a basketball in their hands anchor in at the Y Wednesday afternoon for a look-see. V/* After a close tab on the cage tournaments in the various coun ties of this area during the past few weeks, we will expect most anything to happen by game time. In most of the tournaments so far the play has been exceedingly close in a majority of the cases and us ually it has been a team that wasn’t given a ghost of a chance that came up and ran away with the championship. Thirty-three teams will compete for the titles in the tourney this week and we look for a fast and furious pace to be set from the opening gong on. This and That Football-followers of the Old North State are advised to keep an eye on young Johnny Pecora, the Duplin county boy, who is be ing hailed as another Johnny Branch at Chapel Hill. . . The 167 pound freshman from Bowden led the Whites to a five touchdown victory over the Blues in the clos ing winter grid practice at Caro lina Saturday. . He can pass and he can run, which is just about enough. . , Pinehurst started polo down there this winter but too much rain has held the game in check for some time. . . It’s an innovation, however, and followers of the sport believe that it will catch on in these parts in another year or two. . . Baseball is marked by only a few holdouts at this time but an interesting thing has happened in the Chicago Cub camp. . . ■ This is the first time in a number of years that the holdouts had not agreed on something by time spring training opened. WED FORT PIERCE, Fla., March 3.— (IP)—Dan Parker, sports editor and columnist of the New York Daily Mirror, and Norma Murray, adver tising solicitor for the Mirror, were married here Thursday, it was dis closed today.

The Carolina campus was elated over the two Southern conference titles won yesterday, the swimmers also having come through, and plans for some sort of testimonial celebration were being discussed. Coach Bill Lange gave the play ers credit for the victory last night. "They deserve the praise,” he said, adding that they had shown great improvement on defense in the last two weeks. It was Coach Lange’s first basketball edition at Carolina. Before joining the coaching staff here in 1936 he had been head foot ball and basketball coach at Mus kingum college In Ohio for 12 years and had turned out some great teams there In both sports.
