Feb. 27.—Add Penl'ield. )uke university senior who is win ing quite a reputation as sports ommentator tor Radio Station I'PTF in Raleigh, is now being called :ie "expert of all experts". Two weeks ago. Penl'ield was ask d what teams he thought would lake the grade for the Southern onference basketball tournament at ialeigh. Without hesitation, Penlield rat led off "Duke. North Carolina, fake Forest, Washington and Lee 'lcinson. Maryland. Richmond and he Citadel." And when they lined the team; p in a meeting of the committee at laleigh Sunday, those eight teams ere the ones invited. After he had named the teams, 'enfield was asked to line them up > to their brackets. Pent'ield said. "Duke will play the 'iUidel and Washington and Lee will ace Maryland in the upper bracket forth Carolina "•ill meet Richmond rrd Clemson w' ' play Wake Forest i the lower L: icket." He hit the pper bracket right on the button ut missed in the lower because Carolina is to play Clemson with i"ake Forest meeting Richmond. Now Duke can claim two expert n>gnosticators—Dr. J. B. Rhine of xtra sensory perception fame, and iddison (AP) Penfield of basketball logv renown. /ULCANIZERS MEET SERV-ALLS TONIGHT Tonight at 8:30 "'"lock, the Serve Mi- will meet the Vulcanizers on the Centre Alleys in a return match.

Chapel Hill, Feb. 27.—Neatest | coaching job in the State this winter i is being credited by many to Coach I Floyd "Doc" Siewert, who tutors I the Carolina freshman basketball j squad. Neither big nor fast, boasting no ; stars and few experienced players, the Tar Babies at the outset of the i season resembled nothing more than a small, green high school team. I They dropped their first Big Five game to Wake Forest 48 to 33, Five Records Fall in Indoor Meet Here are five of the champions in action at the National Indooi A. A. U. meet in New York. Top left, Gregory Rice breaks the world three-mile record with a 13:55:9 race. Top center, Earle Meadows. Los Angeles, soars 1-! feet 3% inches, a meet record. Top right, A1 Blozis, Georgetown, hurls the 16-pound shot 55 feet S-;.« inches, a world's record. Lower left, Chuck Fenske wins the mile run in 4:0S:8, a meet record. Lower right, Allan Tolmich (center), Detroit, runs the 70-yard high hurdles in 0:08:4, a world record. <Central Prtus) and-- their sUumchcst partisans wouldn't have given them little chance to win more than two or three games. Yet tliis same ouif't not only beat the Deaelets a return game out captured fix straight Big five con tests and the Siote championship and rolled up 11 victories lor tlie season against two defeats. Varsity Coach Bill l.ange has done a swell piece of work him self in the Tar Heels' about-face this season. But Couch. Limge is the first one to award the 1940 laurels to Siewert and to Doc Sermon of State for his win over Wake For est. Coach Siewert, however, passes the honors right on to his "boys". "it wasn't so much the coaching." he declares. "It was their work :uvl h u s t 1 e and aggressiveness that broi;giit them through." And these Tar Babies, who stil! aren't a big or last team, certainly have those three qu;'li1ics. as shown by their development into one of the smoothest-working. scrappiest freshman quints in the Slate. Standout members include Joe Nelson at center. Ed Antolini at guard, and George Paine at for ward. Taliest man on the first five is Kelson at (> feet, and the others range from this down to Johnny Elackstone, who barely stands 5 eet. George McC'achren and Fred Moore have also rendered good ser vice ill the other ! rworct una ueia Suggs and .John KeniV-d. Jr.. at the sect:'id guard. Pete Mollis. Carolina's big little star of a lew seasons back, also did a lino ,i<:J> coaching the reserves on the squad, developing two or three bench-warmers into iirst-line per formers. Coach Siewert. who also has an excellent reputation as a teacher in the Physical Education Department, is serving his second year with the Freshman basketball squad. fie came here with Dr. O. K. Cornwell from Wittenberg College, where he played basketball and. al though one of the smallest members of the squad, was a standout on a Conference championship team. High School Cage Titles.

Wilson, in a previous visit, whip ped a Henderson team. TO SOME people, this spruce and sprightly Buick SPECIAL may be just one of those ambitions they hope some day to achieve. But if you ask owners — especially those who have stepped up to Buick from the lowest-price field — you'll find it's really an eye-opener to a new and sounder slant on automobile buying. Actually, the money difference between lesser cars and this nimble traveler is smaller than most people think. And when you've driven a Buick a while you find that spending these few extra dollars is really the soundest kind of economy. They buy more power. They buy more room. They buy the matchless comfort of all-coil springing and the welcome feeling of having come up in the world. They also buy more automobile. A bigger, solider, more durable frame. A husky, time-defying chassis. Top-grade materials, superfine precision, "on the money" craftsmanship, things that make the differ ence between an adequate car and a good one. You get your money back in tangible things, such as engines balanced after assembly, wider outlook through SafetyP/ateGlass only, some six dozen features from automatic choke to the Hash-Way Direction Signal with automatic cut-off. Every mile you drive you'll see how you profit by spending enough to get something really good. And what you spend,as you'll see if you call on your Buick dealer, is less than you're asked to pay in some places for a six! * Transportation band on tail^ rata, ttatt and ioijl taxri (:J anvjt optional tijuip'itn! jr.
