and Houghton Matches Go to
Draws.
After the Carolina freshmen had
polished off the V.,M. I. first year
men 14 to 13 in a preliminary to the
varsity wrestling affair, the Cadets"
retaliated with a substantial 21 to 6
victory in the wind-up at Lexington,
Virginia, Saturday night. The win
for the Flying Cadets marked their
sixth of the season.
-The Cadets ran tip their score on
three falls, one decision, and two
draws. The Tar Heels counted on the
two draws and one, decision.
Barwick, replacing R. Moore of Car
olina in the 115 division, was pin
ned by Woodard, V, M. I., in exactly
2 minutes and thirty seconds. This
was the shortest fight of the evening
and one-of the best. Thompson met
Thompson in the 125 hook-up. The
Carolina Thompson was victorious by
a wide margin, the. advantage time
being 7 minutes and 29 seconds. The
135 go resulted in a fall for the- Vir
ginians, when Field threw Stone of
the Tar Heels in 4 minutes and 40
seconds. Abbott, Tar Heel, and Pres
ton, V. M.'L, tussled two extra peri
ods to a draw in the 145 section. The
second Cadet fall came inthe 158
pound class when McCrary threw
Moore of Carolina after 8 minutes
and 2 seconds. "Swampy" Twiford
lost on a 7 minute and 59 second time
-advantage to Hasse, the Flying Ca
det football luminary, in the 175 go.
The curtain act witnessed an inter
esting struggle between Houghton of
the Tar Heels and Stone, Virginia
unlimited. Although outweighed by
several pounds the. Heel forced the
bout to two extra periods to a draw.
The Carolina frosh grapplers won
out in their second match or the sea
son by a 14 to 13 margin. Stallings,
the Carolina 115 pounder, after weak
ening himself in an effort to get down
to weight for the State go, came back
to prove his merit against the Cadet
low weight man, when he pinned this
grappler in a pretty bout. The Tar

by the tournament committee from
Atlanta Sunday. -
N." C. State is also entered, and will
meet the University of Mississippi in
its premier "appearance.
Fifteen of the twenty-two Confer
ence institutions have entered the race
this; year. Vanderbilt, last ;. year's
champion, did not sign upr having had
a rather poor season for 1928. Mary
land is also among those not present,
since the officials there overlooked
the dates of tournament, and have
several games on the schedule yet to
be played. The other schools not talc
ing part this year, are Tennessee, V.
I., Alabama, Tulane, and Sewanee.
The committee in charge of the
tournament, overseeing the divisions
and bracketing is composed of Her
man Stefman, of. Georgia; Bill Alex
ander, Georgia Tech; Daniel McGuin,
of Vanderbilt; R. A. Smith, Washing
ton and Lee ; and" W; C. Smith of Tu-
ane. ' ' ...
There, will be seven games Friday,
four Saturday, semi-finals Monday,
and finals Tuesday night. -
In the first bracket is the following
arrangement: . .
N; C. State vs. Ole Miss at 1:30 p-m.
Kentucky vs. South Carolina at
2:30 p.m. .
Georgia vs.-V.MX at 7:00 p.m.
Carolina vs: Louisiana State at
SttO pan.
The second bracket has:
Mississippi A. and M. vs. Wash
ington and Lee at 3:30 pan.
Auburn vs. Clemson at 4:30 p.m.
Georgia Tech vs. Florida at 9:00
p.m. - .. - '.
Virginia holds a rest ticket for the
first go-round, but meets one of -the
winners of the second group Satur
day. - .' . .- " . '
The first time that the Heels lost
out in the tourney was at the hands
of Ole Miss, State's opponents for
the beginning set. It is not a bit un
likely that the two will meet, in Sat
urday's, struggles. Carolina could not
meet Georgia, the cause of the Phan
toms elimination last year, except in
the finals as they are in different sec
tions. ' . - .

Frosh Pugilists to
Meet Reynolds Hi
In Winston-Salem
The University of North Carolina
freshmen will journey to - Winston
Salem Saturday to meet the Richard
J. Reynolds fighters in the high school
gymnasium. -
Boxing and . wrestling was intro
duced in the schools of North Caro-;
lina's metropolis two years ago-and
met with an immediate and astound
ing success. It i reported that this
form of athletics, is drawing the big
gest houses of any athletic event in
"Winston now.
The boxing team of that city won
over the Greensboro highs last week
by a 6 to 1 count and have taken the
measure of several independent and
high school aggregations. They are
unbeaten in high school circles and
are reported to have a wonderful col
lection of maulers. '
The Carolina irosh themselves
- throw up a mean front. They are
undefeated in frosh collegiate circles
boasting victories over V. M. I., and
V. P. I. Although doped to win over
their more inexperienced rivals, the
high school boys might throw a sur
prise in the Tar Heel camp.
One of the varsity reserves or "Pig
gy" Jarrell will accompany the first
year men, who will leave by bus Sat
urday. : ; "
The two parties off" the campus are
quite opposed in their views and are
creating unceasing turmoil. Taylor
Bledsoe, widely known . gentleman of
the "campus and foe of anything Re-;
publican will have charge of the prep
arations f er this initial meeting, and
will preside until a president is elect
ed to head the band.
Rumor has it that the Republicans
will combine in an effort to combat
the opposition and to protect the wel
fare of their party.. The G. O. P.'s
pinning all faith in the ideals and
wisdom of whatever candidate their
group puts forward, will probably
contest the plausability of the argu
ment and propoganda hurled forward
by their enemies.
The ' campus is, undoubtedly, des
tined to behojd an outburst of politi
cal strife and warfare. Several
speakers of note and men of promin
ence have been extended invitations
to speak here. Probably the most
outstanding of these is Senator Jim
Reed of Missouri, whose possibility
as a Presidential candidate is causing
a bit of bomment and speculation
over the country. Senator Copeland
was recently asked to speak here, but
he was unable to accept at the time.
eliminated the Heels in the semi-finals
and lost in the finals to Vanderbilt.
In a game earlier in the season,
Georgia lost to the' Hillians by a six
point margin the same as the differ

this year. .
The team entering the tournament
last year was composed of men who
had but little experience in varsity
basketball. - The whole team, with the
exception of one man, is the outfit
that goes after the trophy again this
season. With the knowledge and ex--perience
of two seasons behind them,
and the advantage of two years in
struction, from Coach Ashmore, sup
ported by an impressive record for
the season showing but one loss, and
that by a single point, the Carolinians
are rated by sport dopesters and en-

: For the first ..time in many years,
Virginia comes to the Hill to oppose
Carolina in a forensic contest, when
representatives of the two rival uni
versities meet in Gerrard Hall Wed
nesday night at 8 :30 to argue on the
question "Resolved that the increased
power of the "federal government as
skown in this country in" the last dec
ade indicates a wise tendency." -Virginia,
upholding the affirmative,
will bring a team composed of Messrs.
Al Cook and L. H. Hoover. Taking
the negative side of the ' matter will
be D. Ed. Hudgins and L. Taylor
Bledsoe for Carolina. Mr. Bledsoe
has had considerable experience on
the stage in such activities, before, op
posing other institutions." This will
be the initial appearance of -Mr.
Hudgins in an intercollegiate meet.
However, he has taken part in many
debates among-different societies on
the campus, and. his work, as presi
dent of the senior class stands him
in good as a public speaker.
The query was offered by Virginia,
and Carolina had the choice of the
sides. The debate will be presided
over by R. B. House, executive, secre
tary. . Professor McKie will be the
secretary. The judges will be Profes
sors E. W. Knight, O. J. Coffin, and
William Olsen. . '
Virginia Jhas been, sending delega
tions every .year to Chapel Hill to
defend the honor of the Cavaliers in
different sports, but the contest to
morrow night marks the resumption
of their struggle intellectually. These
debates will likely take place annually.
A triangle may be formed later with
Johns Hopkins or Princeton making
up the third party. . - ; .
After the debate, the participants
therein and the officers, as well, as
former Carolina debaters, will be en
tertained at a smoker at the Episcopal

Battery Candidates in Baseball
Report for Indoor Winter
Training.
.
- With the close of basketball just
i week off, candidates for the Tar
Heel baseball team are beginning to
limber up. Coach Ashmore sent out
a call for all candidates for the pitch
ing and catching staff to report in
the Tin Can Saturday moraine. At
the meeting plans were made for" reg
ular daily work-outs.
Captain Joe Westmoreland headed
the group of pitchers which included
Fulcher, varsity reserve for the past
two years ; Stewart and Bost, from
the 1927 freshman aggregation; and
Lambert and Shuler, two men out for
. the first time. "Red" Ellison, Coach
Ashmore's only other varsity pitcher,
did not report, but he is expected to
be out in a short while. These two
veterans will have a veteran team be
hind them, as only two places are
vacant this year: catcher and third
base.
Jimmy Maus, captain of the 1927
freshman nine, is the leading candi
date for Bill Sharpe's position. How
ever. Roy Alexander is expected to
show up well in this position.
The battery candidates will work
! out in the .Tin Can until weather con
ditions are such that outdoor work is
j advisable. By allowing his pitchers
to get an early start, Coach Ash
more plans, to speed up baseball prac
tice when regular work-outs begin.
The Carolina nine faces a heavy
schedule this year and the baseball
mentor plans to have his team in ex
cellent condition when, the season of
ficially opens.
President Chase to
Address Graduate Club
President Chase will address the
February meeting of the Graduate
Club in the Episcopal Parish House
Friday evening at 7:30. This will be
the first time this year that the grad

had an opportunity to hear Dr. Chase.
The meeting is looked forward to
as the most important of the year and
the Graduate Club extends a cordial
invitation to all members of the Grad
uate Faculty of Carolina to attend
this assembly.

Reserves to Remain
On Squad for Meets
Coach Crayton Rowe, University
boxing mentor, requests that in, view
of the fact that there yet remains
on the boxing schedule a trip to the
University . of Florida this week-end
and the Southern Conference tourna
ment at Charlottesville the second
and third of next month, the men who
have been coming out for the squad
stay out for the rest of the present
season. '
, Looking forward to next year, he
further suggests that two and pos-.
sibly three, of the varsity herths will
be vacated by the graduation of Cap
tain Ed Butler and "Ox" Smiford in
the spring. Naturally, the men who
receive the greatest amount of train
ing this season, will have a far great
er chance to step in-a varsity posi
tion in '29. "
Buccaneer Just Another Slice
Of Clumsy Wit but Quite Hot
And Collegiate, Says Reviewer
By GOLLYWOG
The last word in thankless tasks
is reviewing the Buccaneer. Review
ing of any sort is bad enough; if one
man claps his hands or hisses it's still
not news. However, there are more
readers . of Mr. Anderson's Magazine
critiques. than there are1 of the Maga
zine itself, and a Playmaker review
is always sure of a careful perusal
by Mr. Koch. Attempted comment
on the Kampus Kutup is quite anoth
er story. Local credo concerning the
Buccaneer has two 'divisions: 1. It's
hot, and therefore C collegiate. 2.
We're all collegiate, so, what the hell? j
No man should waste time throwing
bricks at a credo; especially a credo
that involves Young America's risi
bilities, but reviews have become a
necessary evil. In this case the Buc
caneer is evil and the review utterly
without purpose. ,
This particular issue falls exactly
in line with popular sentiment. It's
mildly warm, a trifle careless of
moral turpitude and about as eolleg-

' are pitiful puns and putrid poetry.
There always has been and always
will be. It's the sort of thing you like
if you like that sort of thing, and evi
dently you do. The reviewer simply
hasn't the proper sense of College
Humor. .
The art work of Bill Chadwick and
Henry Anderson saves the issue from
a visual standpoint. Their cartoons
are smooth and clever, but the feeble
jokes attached to them are injustices
of a grave nature. The other . cuts
are rather crude, including a contri
bution from Harold Gray who is re
sponsible for the awkward antics of
Orphan Annie.
One encouraging token: John Mar
shall is beginning to feel at home un
der the shade of the Brown Derby.
For a while, this budding aesthete was
a miserable failure as a clown, but
now he writes glibly in a style that
combines his usual, erudition with a
lightness that delights this philander- i
ing soul. , His brief review of And So
To Bed is the only legitimately amus
ing thing in the number.
Frankly, I did not enjoy the Buc
caneer.. It's merely another lice of
clumsy wit and smutty innuendos, but
it's hot and it's collegate. And the
girl at N. C. C. W.'or St. Mary's or
Sweet Briar will get quite a kick out
of it. - -:- -
"Georgia Tech" upset the dope Sat
urday afternoon and handed "Vir
ginia" a 9 to 0 set-back. The wet con
dition of the field slowed up both
teams considerably, but it seemed to
have affected the "Cavalier's" run
ning attack more than the attack of
"Tech."
"Cavaliers" showed little of the
power that enabled them to score three
touchdowns on the powerful "South
Carolina" eleven, while the "Tornado"
blew much harder than it did last
Wednesday when "Harvard" ran away
with an 18-0 victory. Early in the
second quarter "Tech" scored two
points when Magner, "Cavalier" "half
back, was downed behind his goal for
a safety. This seemed to give the
"Tech" team the necessary punch , to
score their first victory. However,
it was much later in the game before
"Tech" could cross the "Virginia"
line. - Branch, diminutive right half
back for' "Tech," slipped off tackle
for a score. ' -

The decorations were some of the
best ever seen on the campus. Short-

ed at one end of the room with several
twinkling satellites around it. Large
pine trees were ranged around the
walls of the gymn, and two immense
Japanese' parasols stood out against
the .snowy canopy. The electrical ef
fects were especially attractive. At
one instant tne ballroom was bathed
in a flood of white liehts. then the
brilliance would die away and the
room would glow with a deep " blue s
light coming from the edges, of the
balcony. White , confetti" descended
in showers to form effective snow
scenes.
