VANSTORY BACK IN PLAY Carolina Still Stands Good Chance to Win, Think Most Sport' Writers; "Red" Price Back in Condition. Carolina faces Duke tonight in Durham with poorer pros- pects than she did last weeK, having Big Bill Dodderer with a bad hand so that he will prob ably be unable to get in the game, v , In addition, Duke is at home to night, which is a distinct advantage, and having lost one contest , to the Heels already, the Blue Devils will be -in a better position to cope with the rush that has overrun every team in the state so far. The loss of Dodderer, one of the main factors of the Phantoms' tight defense, would count heavily, but with Vanstory back at the guard posi tion, the situation is not so bad as it would overwise" be.1 "Red" Price is also - in condition to play again, which helps maintain the hopes of Carolina supporters for another state title and an unbroken line of victories in the state. Carolina surprised everybody by . trouncing Duke almost with a double score last Saturday, completely pre venting the fast sophomore quartet from Durham from making the im pressive showing to which they were accustomed. Although it is agreed by most neu tral sports writers that Carolina stands a good chance to chalk up an? other ' "win tonight; they also expect that the game will be much closer this time, with the Blue Devils being at home on their own court, and the chances of Hillians being without the' aid of one of their defensive stars. . The Duke Chronicle admits the Tar Heels deserved the first game of the series, and has excellent changes of taking the Southern championship, but it also predicts that the Devils will make a hard fight to win the game tonight and that a surprise, un like that of last week, may result in the gymnasium in Durham tonight.
