CAROLINA TOSSERS ARE - MAKING 6REAT FIGHT University Team Is One of Four to Survive in Tourna ment Plays University of Alabama Tonight. (By The Associated Press.) ATLANTA, GA., Fib. 2S. The Southern College basketball champion ship lies between four teams, no one of whiclj got as far as the finals last year, and tonight's games in which Alabama meets North Carolina and Mercer plays Georgia Teen, will see the survival of the finalists. Alabama played its first game of the tournaii(cnt yesterday afternoon when it eliminated Tennessee, as the crimson wni fnvnred Adth n. live snd a forfeited game, so that comparison in tournament!0 play with tho smooth running Tar Heel machine has not been possible. The North Carolinians have eliminated three opponents, including Georgia, hist year's runner up, JJ to 2., and have piled up 100 points to 71 for their opponents. Alabama 'a season record has lceii one of the best, however, and its victory over Tennessee was 29 to 23. Mercer, which olisted Kentucky State's championship team of U2l, and elimi nated the Oiattanooga University five last night, 25 to 18, lias played three games, running up a 92 to 57 total, and has been regarded as one of the best entrants, backed by a splendid showing, in this season's games. Georgia Tech has played twice, get ting a forfeited game in the second ronnd, and while the Yellow Jackets de feated South Carolina yesterday after noon, 34 to 23, they were hard put at timet to best the Game Cocks, and only managed to survive the fist round by a desperate rally against Mississippi A. and M.

L ARMFIELD'S CASE MAY NOT COME AT THIS TERM OF COURT Judge Long Takes Motion for Continuance Under Advise ment Thomasville Bank President Pleads Also for a Reduction of His $175,000 Bond. LEXINGTON', Feb. 27. Judge B. F. Long, took under advisement a mo tion offered this afternoon by counsel for Jesse L. Armfictd asking continuance of the cases charging him with embezzle ment of approximately 421,000, which are set for trial on the docket for Thurs day, March and stated that he would announce his decision after making fur- they study or the cast?. The motion was advocated by Z. I. and 'A. V. Walser, of the Lexington bar, and Frank Armfield, of Concord, and op posed by Solicitor J. C. Bower and E. E. Raper, representing the state in tho pro secution. Inability to secure records, witnesses and information necessary to a proper defense by Thursday was the plea of the defense. They also coupled with their motion a plea for a lowering of the bond of $175,000, tinder which Armfield has been held in jail here since his re turn from Mexico, Mr. Armfield declar ing that "the whole state of North Carolina was shocked by this bond." Thinks Bond Reasonable. Solicitor Bower countered that in view of the fact that the bill of indictment in court today contains ninety-nine counts, and the fact that Armfield fled to Mexico, the bond was reasonable. Tie II Ml, OH.s.,nv.i. i.v I declared relatives of the former banker were amply able to furnish the amount of bond, but did not want to take tho risk. . In speaking of the failure to furnish bond, Mr. Armfield, who is a brother-in-law of the defendant, admitted that the accused "has not done ht9 causo any good by going to Mexico and changing his name," but pleaded in extenuation that he could not have hoped to make any headway on this continent while using his own name after the collapse of the Thomasville bank. The attorney said he had been inform ed that the total liability of Armfield on his own account, for companies in which he held interest, or loans on which he was inilorsvr, approximated $162,000. Collateral is held by the receiver for $147,000, lie said, which he had been in formed was worth $75,000. Mr. Raper countered with the asser tion that much of this collateral had been secureil after the transactions hy which Armfield secured the moneys from the bank had been closed. In reply to Mr. Arm-field's suggestion that a "slump" was responsible for some of the defend ant 's troubles, Solicitor Bower said the question nt issue was not "slumping" but "swiping." J. It. MeCrary, speaking on behalf of Zed Griffith, former cashier of the bank, indicted jointly with Armfield, explained that "the defense of one defendant may j not bo consistent with that of the other lor inure to the benefit of the other; on the contrary it may not be helpful." This is taken to indicate that Griffith will make his fight independent of his brother-in-law. Case Under Advisement. The increase in the number of counts in the bill of particulars was explained by Solicitor Bower as appearing expedi ent because of the advisability of sepa rating some of the 60 counts in the in dictment returned by the grand jury last fall. Judge Long made no comment what-J ever upon the matter of hail. In stat- ing that he would take under advisement I the matter of continuance, he said that' ir the ease sliouni ne tried ai in s icrm of court he wanted the entire docket out wa-v Next week is scheduled for ; the civil terms, but should the case be case ne.,,, continued until next week instead of to a tiubseouent term it would probably necessitate continuing tho entire civil ; docket. A recent special term of twojviv(,f, ,0 ,,,,( ,lu, awf1, tftory 'Murder weeks was devoted entirely to trial of civil cases. A. L. Brooks, of Greensboro, has been j retained to assist in the defense of Arm- field, it was .learned this afternoon though he wa not present for the argu ment today.

BOLL WEEVIL PROMISES TO BE WORSE THAN EVER WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. A heavier infestation of boll weevils in the cotton belt than in any recent year is indicated for the coming sea son by observations made at the Del ta laboratory at Tallulah, La., by ex perts of the Bureau of Entomology of the Department of Agriculture, . it was announced today. This forecast, it was explained, was based largely on the mildness of the winter, coupled with conditions last fall which per mitted an unusually large number of weevils to enter hibernation. Recent records, it was said, have tended to verify this calcuation. While an abnormally heavy emer gency of weevils was indicated for the spring, it was said, this did not necessarily mean that weevil damage would be unusually great, since it was possible that summer weather condi tions might offset the early infestation.
