Coach Yow has been drilling his boys and is priming them for their game here tomorrow against the Eagles. And on the other hand, Coach Paul Cheek has not oeea idle. With their decisive victory over Duke tucked’ away in the pages of the score book, the Eagles have been looking to the.Panther game. They remember the team produced by Coach Yow last year and see noth Five Carolina Lettermen Back for Basketball Wake Forest To Open 19 Game Schedule Monday Wake Forest, Dec. 10.—With their opening basketball game of the season only a few days off— Monday night here against Roanoke College—the Deacons of Wake Forest are striving hard to be ready for this initial tilt. And as daily practices go forward, Coach Murray. G reason is having his wor ries and plenty of them. . Gone from last year’s club are three letter men—Dogt Morris, George Mauncy, and Preston Chap pell. All three of those boys were important cogs in the Waks Forest cage outfit that finished third in the seasonal standings of the South ern Conference and went to the semi-finals in the conference tour nament. \ Morris and Mauney, both stand ing over six feet, took with them practically all the heighth the Dea cons had, and with their departure, Wake Forest lost two of the finest players in the loop when the going was the toughest. No doubt, there is ample cause for Coach Crcason’s worry. He is left without a player over six feet on his club and there will hardly be a team on the sche dule which will not be larger than the Deacons almost man for man. There are six lettermen on hand for the Deacons mentor build around. Three were regulars last year—Jim Waller, all-southem forward in his sophomore year last season, and Rex Carter, forwards, and Captain Stan Apple, guard. Dav, Fuller, center, Smut Aderholt, forward, and Smith Young, guard, are the other monogram boys. Of this group of lettermen, only Ader holt is a senior. Several sophomores are out for the club and it is possible that one or two may break into the line-up. The sophs are Bill Sweel, Pete Davis„ Virgil Payne, O. H. Barnes, Bob Tauscher, Kyle Ownbey, and Jack Roberts. Last year’s reserves trying for places are Boyd Owen, Forest Glass, Billy Stainback, Bea mer Bames, Roy Evans, Floyd Cartel, and Gene Phillips. While Coach Greason has been using this first club—Waller, Car ter, forwards; Fuller, center; Ap ple, Sweel, guards—a second team composed of Payne, and O. H. Bar nes forwards, Owen, center; Ader holt. and Young, guards, has been regularly holding its own with the No. 1 boys and has whipped the varsity in more than half the scrim mages. The schedule for next week fol low’s: Monday night, Roanoke Col lege, here; Thursday night, Groves Thread Mill at Gastonia; Friday, Unique Furniture Company at Winston Salem; Saturday night, McCrary Eagles at Asheboro. The Unique Furniture game, added to the schedule Wednesday, makes the total games the Deacons will play this season nineteen. Wasteful Burning Is Deplored Twigs and branches too small for fuel have their own value in the well managed farm woodland, soil conservation service workers point out. They should be left to decay and help feed the coming crop of trees. To pile and bum them is as wasteful as suming the straw from a grain crop. Farmers who i re double-cropping the wooded areas — for timber and fuel and also for wild gamfe—may want to pile aome of the small branches. Brush piles are favorite refuges ror many birds and many varieties of small game. Other waste material, well scatter ed, will decay and return to the soil as a spongy humus that puts soil into the best condition to absorb, rainfall, thus helping prevent ero sion and providing needed raw ma terial for thrifty lorest growth. Metal Worker Mary McMullen, bookkeeper in her brother’s Memphis, Tenn., sheet metal shop, learned the trade while the boss was out on calls, insists she’d rather fashion metal than balance accounts. ing short of their toughest rival to morrow. The High Point coach has hinted that Morton Samet, all New York state performing along witn Marcel Malfregeot are his out standing freshmen. Samet, high scorer on a recent trip, averaged 16 points a game, with Malfregeot following with 8.* Reports' from the college say Coach Yow has spent no little time worrying about the Eagle3 and the college in general .is rating the Panthers underdogs for tomorrow night’s game. Coach Cheek and his aggregation have been rolling along over fairly smooth territory all season but even the Eagles are taking no chances of letting the Panthers spoil their record. The McCrary boys have averaged 55 points a game so far this season, counting their loss against the Unique boys from Winston-Salem in the opener. Chapel Hill, Dec. 10.—<.P>—If numbers; be a criterion, sophomores undoubtedly will play a prominent part in the -building of the North Carolina basketball squad this win ter. No less than 13 of the 21 can didates are second year men. Best among the sophomore talent are Ben Dilworth and Dave Bow man. forwards; Hank Pessar, cen ter; Dick Worley, Foy Roberson, Jr. and Frank Cuneo, guards. This sextet dominated the fine perfor mance of last season’s crack fresh man outfit which won 10 of 13 games. The Tar Babies lost to Oak Ridge and broke even in two games each with Duke and Wake Forest. The No. 1 team, however, will probably be built around five re turning lettermen: Captain Earl Ruth, All-Southern, and Foy Grubb, guards; Andy Bershak, Pete Mullis, and Bill McCachren, forwards. Dilworth, who is alternating be tween forward and center, and Pessar are generally conceded the best chance of breaking into the first team line-up. Dave (Red) Meroney capable 6-foot center last season, will not return. He accept ed work in his home town, Greens boro. His post must be filled by Dilworth, Pessar, or Pete Boone chief understudy to Meroney last season, Chester Stoopack, substitute guard, is another reserve who may be tested with the regulars. The supporting cast also includes George Stimryeiss and George Rad man. outstanding sophomore backs on the football team this fall, and Tony Cemugle, who was held out of football due to a leg injury Cemugle, a junior, was one of the standouts of the 1936 Carolina freshman basketball team. The Tar Heels will be better equipped with reserves than last season. The elimination of the cen ter jump in most cases has con siderably speeded up the game The reserve strength will be a great asset to the regulars. Others who may play some thif winter are Murray Drucker, A1 am Watts Carr, forwards; Bob Straii and A1 Mathes, guards. They arc all sophomores. Crowell Little Wins In Mural Boxing At UNC Chapel Hill, Dec. 9.-—At least twc of the eight new intramural box ing champions at the University of North Carolina need no intro dnction to sports followers in Taj Heelia. Crowell Little, clever fielc general, who so successfully guidec’ the Tar Heels through one of thr best football seasons in the in stitution’s history, is the new 155 pound titalist. Charles Slagle, cap able guard reserve, is the heavy weight champion. Slagle turned in one for the re cord books. In acquiring his titlf he didn’t so much as throw a single punch. He drew a bye to the finals and then won on a forfeit when Tom Fearing, representing the Sigma Pi Epsilon fraternity, fail ed to put in an appearance.
