Smoke Rings Cage Gleanings By SAM RAGAN With two close-scoring, thrill-packed contests as a finale the sixth annual Star-News-Y. M. C. A. basket ball tournament closed Saturday night with what can well be said its best high school cage meet to date. This opinion , chared by a majority of those in any way connected wfth the tournament and coaches of the many teams entered acclaimed the annual event as one of the best unnrts attractions this city ever presented. And gathering up some loose ends of the tournament there were at least two singular occurrences worthy of __ ^ " _ ~~ men Last Honors To the Elizabethtown team goes the honor of the last to enter the tournament and the last to with draw and that smooth-clicking ma chine returned to the Bladen capital Saturday night with the boys cham pionship trophy and the sportsman ship award. Yesterday we tabulated some of the individual scores and the records that were set were amazing. Scorers In the girls division here is the way the scoring went. Joyce Hoi lingsworth, of Beulaville, set an all time high record with a total of 81 points. Following her were: Stone, of Bolivia, with 57; Bostic, of Beula ville, with 54; Cannon, of Bolivia, with 46; and Hand, of Bolivia, with 42. The boys division’s individual high scorers don’t show such high nu merals, but this honor was carried off by Bladenboro, Elizabethtown and Dixon. Hilburn, of Bladenboro, led with 48 points- Others were: Gooden, of Elizabethtown, with 45; Butler, of Bladenboro, with 41; Bryan, of Bladenboro, and B. Capps, of Chadbourn with 36 each; Hollis and Wayne King, of Dixon, with 31 each. And from that you can see that it was hey-day for the high school basket marksmen of Southeastern North Carolina. Glamack Is First North Carolina’s first All-Ameri can basketball player, lanky George Glamack, who was named to this mythical five by NEA, is no slouch when it comes to other sports, such as football and baseball. He played end as a freshman on the Carolina football team and in high school he pitched and played first base in baseball. But now the young man from Pennsylvania de votes all his time to the cage game. And while talking about it, the story goes that but for some good sales manship by Bo Shepard, assistant athletic director at Carolina, Gla mack would now be at Duke instead of at Chapel Hill. Glamack spurned all pleas from eastern school and headed south when he emerged from high school. He visited both the Duke and Caro lina campuses and was impressed by both. Shepard took the long young ster in tow when he showed up at Carolina and talked him into the idea of the Tar Heels. Cage game followers are saying that George’s record of 458 points in one season and 62 in one tourna ment wiil remain intact for a good long while. 32 TEAMS ENTER NATIONAL MEET Appalachian Is First Band To Reach Scene Of Tourney; 19 States Represented KANSAS CITY, March 10.— Basketballs swished through the hoops at Municipal auditorium to day as the 32 teams seeking the National Intercollegiate tournament title tested the floor and glass backboards. The field is made up of repre sentatives from 19 states and tb. first aggregation to reach the site was the Appalachian State sauad of Boone, N. C. It made the trip by motor and became “lost some where in Indiana” en route. The Texas State five, labelled the World’s tallest team with every player at least 6 feet, 4 inches and Center Charles Halbert towering to 6 feet, 10, also worked out. It is one of the pre-meet favorites. Both Southwestern college of Winfield, Kas., and San Diego, Calif. State, last year’s finalists, are in the present field. The Kan sans took the 1939 title, 32 to 31. This year’s champion will be de cided Saturday. Coaches and athletic directors accompanying the teams will or ganize the “National Intercollegi ate Basketball association” during the week to sponsor the four-j ear old meet in the future. Eight games comprise tc mo’ -ow’s program. WAK1VA LEADS ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 10.— <JP> —Slowed by light winds which diminished chances of a new record, Harkness Edwards’ 69-foot yawl Waklva of New York led a field of 11 yachts into the Gulf Stream late today for the last leg of the eleventh annual St. Peters burg-Havana race.

PITKARDS 209 Market St. Phone 862 RICE’S NEW TRACK RECORD ACCLAIMED Borican Feels That He Is Best At Mile, Even Though He Ran Last In Race I5EW YORK. March 10.— CP) — Jreg Rice, having just set a new vorld indoor mark of 8:56.2 for the .wo mile run, couldn’t be exactly de scribed as downcast. Grinnin Jim* ny Herbert, the likeable negro from Slew York U., having just run the dock dizzy in setting a new world ndoor record of 1:10.8 in the Casey 100, was wreathed in smiles. But the biggest grin was worn, surprisingly enough, by John Bori :an, who had run a neat last in the Columbian mile—the race that was supposed to have featured the Cnights of Columbus games in Vladison Square Garden Saturday. John, national 1,000-yard cham pion, was to have set the pace for hree-quarters that would pull either 2huck Fenske, the nation’s ace niler, or Glenn Cunningham or both nto a new world mile mark—a blis ering 4:03. Tnhn Btartefl nut. like a sprinter, vhile the mile field lagged along at i normal gait. He got so far out n front that there was something ike 35 yards between him and ?'enske. So he lagged and the field tot only caught up with him but passed him, with Fenske winning pis seventh mile of the year in a iisappointing 4:13.2. Cunningham, n his farewell indoor mile, was sec pnd and Gene Venzke third. The very tired, but still cheerful, Bori :an was last. Instead of 3:03 for the three quar :ers. Borican had run only 3:14.4— ind when he was caught down stairs later, instead of feeling bad ly (as he should have) he just grinned and said: “Why, I just ran that first quar ter too fast (he did it in 0:58.2 sec pnds while the crowd howled with glee). But I like that mile run and L’m goin’ in for it next year. And I’ll beat ’em, too. Why, I’da beaten 'em tonight if they’d kept up with me.” The point being that the old heads were too smart to keep up with the limber-legged Borican when he started out. They let him wear himself out and then beat him at the tape. He was clocked in 4:15.8, a time that hardly will make Fenske lie awake nights with worry. The real hero last night was Rice, whose amazing power dash in the last lap around the track was as conclusive a piece of running as has been seen ail year. It was doubly amazing when you realize that Don Lash’s mark of 8:58 had not even been approached in three years of terrific competition. Burgaw Boxers Defeat HarrelTs Store, 6 To 0 BURGAW, March 10.—The Bur gaw boxing team defeated Har rell’s Store 6 to 0 in a meet staged here Friday night, with two local ads scoring technical knockouts aver the visitors.

HALFMAN LEADS BOWLERS DETROIT, March 10.—VP)—Hen ry Half man, 40-year-old Milwaukei hosiery worker, soared into the leac in the singles division of the Ameri can bowling congress championship: here today with a brilliant 682 series i NELSON, MANGRUM TOP ± ± ★ ★ ★ ★★★ ^ , ■ LEADERS SHOOT 68’S IN ROUND Final 36 Holes In Thomasville $3,000 Golf Meet Are Slated Today THOMASVILLE, Ga„ March 10. —(P)—By pulling off some marve lous shots that struck the gallery s fancy, National Open Champion By ron Nelson of Toledo, O., and Lloyd Mangrum of Oak Park, 111., dead locked today for the lead in the first round of the $8,000 Thomas ville Open golf tournament. Scoring neat 68's, four under par for the opening 18-hole round of the 54-hole competition, Nelson and Mangrum held a one-stroke lead over the field, with Herman Kaiser of Akron, O., in third position with a 69. The final 36 holes were billed for Monday. While spectacular shots helped Nelson and Mangrum to share the lead, the national champion flubbed a putt of less than a foot at the 14th hole that would have given him sole command. Kaiser was vic tim of an unplayable lie that c>,st him two shots at the 7th hole and a possible chance for the lead. Nelson, after his drive struck a tree and fell into the rough at the 15th, played an intentional hook with a No. 4 iron that sailed beau tifully to the green and he got his par. Mangrum’s tee shot at the 7th hole was in the woods and he had LU picxy UUk kU kiiC laii ■ J planted a brassie third shot 12 feet from the cup and sank it for a birdie 4. In fourth place with a sub-par 70 was Paul Runyan of White plains, N. Y. He had nines of 37-33. Nel son, the winner here a year ago of the top prize of $750, had a pair of 34’s. Mangrum and Kaiser had the best individual nines of the day, each clipping four strokes off par on the incoming side with 32’s. Equalling the Glen Arven course’s par of 71 and tied for fifth place were Craig Wood of Winged Foot, N. Y., and E. J. (Dutch) Harrison of Little Rock, Ark. Bracketed at 72 were Amateur Tommy Barnes of Atlanta and five professionals— Jimmy McHale of Saranac Inn, N. Y., Ted Luther of Pittsburgh, Pa., Stanley Horne of Montreal, Can.. Felix Serafin of Scranton, Pa., and Vincent Eldred of Pittsburgh, Pa. Sammy Snead of Shawnee, Pa., who ’’blew” the National Open title last summer with an eight on the last hole, fell victim of another dis astrous eight here, taking that num ber of strokes on the par-4 first hole and finishing with a 76. Jim my Thomson of Chicopee, Mass., also needed 76 shots. BROOKLYN CAGERS DEFENDING TITLE Long Island And St. John’s Quints Go Against Best Teams In Nation NEW YORK, March 10.—UP)—If you’re looking for the season’s prize example of sheer courage, you might well consider two schools from Brooklyn, the bor ough better known for the Rover Boy antics of its baseball Dodgers than for the fortitude of its bas ketball teams. But you can’t discount the cour age that Long Island university and St. John’s college have shewn in agreeing to uphold the Metro politan area’s dignity in the col lege Invitational baskeball tourney that opens Monday In Madison Square Garden.

A survey by the institute's committee on criminal justice youth said that in 1933 state and federal prisons and reforma tories received 17 girls prisoners who were 19 years old for every 100,000 females of that age in the c< untry—the biggest propor tion of any age group. The report showed that in the less serious crimes—resulting in confinement in local jails—the girls were slightly older, between 21 and 24. Local jails in the first six months of 1933 received 73.8 women for each 100,000 of that age range against only 55 in the 19-year group. IN THIS CORNER-BY ART KRENZ RED-HOT ROOKIES BILL.

The identity of the Purple Flash is unknown, although this much is known—he is a former All American football player who de cided he would rather grapple on the mat than on the pro gridiron. In appearances in several other cities of the state and south, the Flash has been the type of wrest ler who showed little regard for rules and referees. Marshall, on tne other hand, is a clean, clever grappler of the old school and even though the Purple Flash has a more awe-inspiring record, the Arizona matman is expected to be a very good match for the bound ing bruiser. The semi-final bout on the card arranged by the American Legion will pit Johnny Marrs against Chief Little Beaver, of Cherokee, N. C., one of the toughest wrest lers ever to appear here. The opening match will get un der way in the exhibit building at the stadium at 8 o’clock.

Tar Heels May Depend On Radman As Pitcher Cheshire, Of Wilmington, May Be Ineligible For Play Because Of Studies By FRANK B. GILBRETH CHAPEL HILL, March 10.—UP) He's better known as a football catcher than a baseball thrower, but George Radman may be the answer to the pitching problem at the University of North Carolina. Radman, whose pass-snatching was the margin of difference be tween hallelujah and mood indigo in many a Carolina football game, is working on the mound these days. If he clicks, Carolina may be the team to upset the favored Blue Devils of Duke in the South ern confere .ce baseball champion ship race. The Carolina-Duke baseball en counters may be a final fling at glory for George, who is a senior. Because of a leg injury, he was unable to play in the Duke-Caro lina football game last fall, and Duke won, 13-3. Many Carolina supporters believe the outcome might have been diiferent If he had been in there. The role of pitcher isn't ex actly a new one for George—he hurled three games last year, win ning two and losing one, but de veloped a sore arm about half way through the season and was shifted to the outfield. His season batting average was .388. Radman s arm seems to be in good shape now, and if it holds up he may share pitching assign ments with John Cheshire and Red Benton, sophomores. But there’s an “if” in that, too— Cheshire is having trouble with his studies, and may not be eligible. Cheshire, a Wilmington boy, struck out 57 men in 38 2-3 inn ings as a f reshir an, and yielded only 14 hits. He won five and lost two. Benton, former Wilson high star, won three and lost none as a frosh. Radman and Benton are right handers, and Cheshire is a south paw. Bud Hudson and Sam Davis, who did most of the varsity pitch ing last season, have graduated. Also lost by graduation are George Nethercutt, catcher, who batted .488, and made Phi Beta Kappa in his spare time; Frank Cox, left fielder; and Harold Bissett, first baseman, who made only five er rors in more than 800 chances at Carolina. Harry Reynolds, who led the frosh attack last year with .360, probably will start at first base, but he is being hardpushed by A] Mathes, a senior. Mathes was first baseman on the freshman team three years ago, but gave up base ball in favor of basketball, and is making his debut on the baseball varsity. George Stirnweiss, the Bronx general who has letters in foot all and baseball, again will hold down second base, and Tony Top kins will be back at the shortstop post. Either Charlie Rich or Jim my Howard, lettermen, will play third. Bob Hermson, reserve catch er for fwn groove Nethercutt’s shoes. When Radman isn’t pitching, he probably will be in left field. When he’s on the mound, that post will be filled by Julian Miller. Jim Mallory, football player, and Har old Jennings probably will hold down center and right, respective ly. Both are veterans. Oak Ridge Rif le Team Defeats ROTC Shooters The Oak Ridge Military Institute rifle team defeated the New Han over High school ROTC team on the indoor range of the ROTC unit Sat urday. Oak Ridge came out in front with a score of 823 to the High school team’s score of 810. Cadet Summerland of Oak Ridge was the highest scorer with a score of 172 and Bill Blake of Wilmington was second with a score of 167 of a possible 200. PINEHURST WINS ’ PINEHURST, March 10. — CP) - The Pinehurst Polo club ran up its fourth straight win today by beat ing Durham 5 to 3. Goals for the winning team were scored by Mer rih Pink of Rye N.
