Harper Tops Croson .North Carolina's White "Phantoms clinched the 1929 State Collegiate "basketball championship Saturday night by defeating Duke's Blue Devils, 27 to 24. .The victory gave the TarU Heels a clean claim to titular honors, for thev now hold a two-game lead , over Duke, now in second place, and each team has only one- more 5 Big Five game to play. Carolina's -state record for the ' season shows six. vic tories and but a single defeat, to Duke, which was fully avenged in Saturday's championship struggle. ; - ? t ; Carolina jumped into the lead : in the1 opening minutes of play as Sat terfield began the scoring with 5 suc cessive points.

The race has been very close and the Tar Babies as Veil as the Blue Imps of Duke " were in 'the running until the ! Carolina freshmen lost last -Wed: nesday to the State five and then in turn eliminated the Blue Imps on Saturday " night. .The ' State' team bases Jts claim on its record which includes two wins over Duke, an even break with Carolina, and a victory over ; the comparatively weak Wake Forest ' yearling ; aggregation.

Garber . of VViHtiV W j Duke, and Edwards of Wake Forest, are among the best of the guards, - Ellington of State and Myers' of the Tar, Babies seem to' rank first among the crop of centers, which failed to produce, as good men as the guard - and forward positions did. ;' COMMENTS FROM DUKE Our industrious Managing Editqr, George Ehrhart, reads the Duke Chronicle more closely than we do, f or he noted that the columnists of that paper had noticed our comments about . the Davfdson-Duke' game and what we said about Carolina Heating Duke when the two teams hooked up here. Evidently the neighboring columnist disliked our predicting a win for Carolina for he said that af ter the game we wouldn't say much more than we did before. After" the "'contest Saturday night we find that there is no necessity for saying any thing. The game and the score speak far louder and in much more definite terms than we could. . However, it would be well t6 com pliment , the spectators on their be havior at that game. .With the ten sion existing before and during the game it seems remarkable that the crowd was as well ordered as it was. - remaps tne credit ior xnis should go to the referee, Mr. Shipley, for he certainly? handled that game in a manner equal to the best. , At no time did he let the game get from under his cQtrol. Nor did he give anyone a cnance to kick over ms de cisions'. He called, them as he saw them. No one expects more of s an official. ' ; MAKIN WHOOPEE Coaches Quinlan and Butler are taking the neatest bunch of fighters to Durham tonight that; ever repre sented the Tar Heels in the ring. Those boys are going to meet a team that is equally as good so far as com parative records go." Both are un defeated '! this season. Both have scored wins over the same teams and individual bouts point to a toss-up for . the winner. ' s . However, two bouts will feature the evening. . The first will be when the opening gong sends Vaughn and Saint Amand against each other. Vaughn has shown the way to the Carolina boxers by winning every bout this year; ' Saint Amand 1 has been , doing the same. To - pick a winner of this bout would be difficult, for both " boxers are good. Both have scored wins over Miller, 1928 Conference Champion, both are ready for this fight and both will be ready for the Conference tourney at Char lottesville next week. We pick Vaughn to win due to the mere fact that we are from Carolina; This fight will be one of the fea ture bouts, but "the feature bout" will be when Captain Charlie Brown, of Carolina mixes . punches with Captain John Carper of Duke. Carper seems to pack a heavier, wallop than Brown, but the Tar Heel captain-has demon strated-his ability to swap, punches with the best of them during his four years here. ' Four consecutive knock outs are listed by the name of the Blue Devil leaderawhile Charlie, has won by knockouts or impressive deci sions every one of his bouts this year. - Charlie won a decision over the Duke man last year, but press reports have it that he will meet a better man tonight. Carper must be good," but somehow-we have seen Charlie fight too often to worry about this match. Again we pick the" Blue and White 'of Carolina. ' - In the other weights we dislike to pick a winner, but :we .might say watch :Goodridge. That sophomore is as clever as the best of them and he is yet to meet his match. The Duke man is drawing an assignment that he will find difficulty in .filling. The 135-pound New Yorker will give him a merrv time during those- three rounds of fighting tonight. ; Aside from the above comments all we can say is that we want to be there when the - gong , sends Vaughn and Saint Amand to the mid die of the ring. SCARCITY OF SCORING , , We -deplore the lack of scoring in the winter football games to date. At a glance it appears that the four teams are so evenly match that only the breaks decide the winners. But examination of the teams' on paper and the teams that take the field ovpfv afternoon find the cause. Too many of last year's varsity men are sitting back and, taking, it easy dur ing the winter, games. - They go Out the afternoon of games and rest the remainder of the time. , There are several notable examples of this. Then too there are several notable exceptions to the statement that tod many 'of the -1928 .varsity Brown Meets Carper Evan Vaughn and Saint Amand To Start State Title Bouts. For the last time before the South ern Conference Boxing , tourney the Carolina mitmen hit the road when they journey over to Durham for the m'eet with Coach Tilson's pugilistic Blue Devils this evening. The sche dule originally called for a meet with the University of Georgia but Caro lina officials were informed that the Athens team had disbanded and can celled its . remaining bouts. Thus this .will be the last match for the Heels before they go to Charlottesville March 1st and 2nd. Comparative ..records indicate that the two teams that meet tonight have the most powerful outfits in the Con ference. Both have met practically every team of importance in the South and emerged victors. Tonight's results will be watched with the idea, of securing advance information as to the probable winners of the con ference bouts.' i The high light of the matches this evening will come wlien Captain Charlie Brown, Conference Champion, meets Captain John Carperleader of the Dukemen. Other bouts are listed as features but this bout will be "the" bout of the evening. Brown holds the edge over the Duke leader in that he defeated him last season by t a de cision. 1 But the impressive string of knockouts scored by Carper indicates that the bout will prove highly enter taining. On paper the two appear about equal, with Carper packing a heavier punch, but Tar Heel support ers claim that the Carolina captain can take all that Carper has to offer and then put him under. Reports emanating from the Duke camp indicate that " Evan Vaughn, hard hitting sophomore Tar Heel fighter, will hit rough sledding when he meets Saint Amand, 115 pound Devil. Both of these boys hold wins over Miller, 1928 Conference cham pion, and both are undefeated thus far this season. Sheffield will handle the 125 pound assignment against Martin, clever Duke fighter. He handled the Wash ington and ' Lee fighter in the same rough manner that Martin did. Goodridge, another of Coach Quin- lan's sophomores, will meet Smith of Duke in the 135 pound class. The Carolina boxer rested last Saturday, allowing Cummins to handle his divi sion for him against the Generals. Goodridge is also listed among the un defeated Tar Heels. Two men, both defeated by the fast stepping Currie of Florida, will clash tonight in the 145 ' pound division when, Archie Allen, Carolina fighter; Baseball Pitchers Should Be Warming: Up, Says Ashmofe V ' - ' ' ' Although official baseball prac tice has not begun, all men who expect to be candidates for .the pitcKing staff this spring are urged to work every afternoon, according to Coach Ashmore.. In the event of inclement weather he has asked that they work out in doors. With the heavy schedule to be played by the Heels this . spring it is imperative that the hurlers begin conditioning them selves immediately, . the , coach stated. and Wise, Duke pug, step into the ring. Allen; rested Saturday along with several other of the Tar Heel boxers while Webb, a sophomore, handled the 145 pound division. After this bout the climax of . the program will be reached when, the rival captains enter the ring. Then Millard Warren, another of- Add's younger brothers, . will meet Obie Davis, Carolina fighter, in the 165 pound class. Following Millard War ren, John, another of K. O.'s brothers, but a Carolina scrapper, will meet Mathews in the unlimited division. All in all the fights promise to be extremely interesting. Several un defeated pugs will seek to uphold their crowns tonight v against other unde feated fighters, while the picture of two brothers fighting on opposite teams is unusual. High School Cagers Start Title Series men rest too much. Several varsity men are out there working continu ously as hard as the most ambitious newcomer. . v We might give a word of warning to those men who are taking it easy now. Coach Collins isn't' overlooking their absences. He knows fairly ac curately exactly howv many times a man misses practice. And so when the 1929 falt campaign opens one needn't be surprised to see a lot of new faces in the Carolina line-up. Those boys who are working now will do the' playing next fall. They'll have about two months jump on the. easy goers. , - . ' With the first elimination contests played off, the high school contest for the state title in basketball got off with a good start the latter part of last week. There were 102 schools entered in the contest. All of them played their first icrame last week. In dications are that two speedy teams will be on the Hill m March 9 to fight it out for the, state title. - , The Eastern and Western parts of the state have each been divided in to eight districts. " v The schedules so far have been arranged so that by the end of this week there will be a district winner in each group Faculty managers and coaches will meet1 with E. R. Rankin, secretary of the high school union, next Monday and Tuesday nights to. arrange - the schedules for. next week " so that . the final eliminations can he played off. The registration in the, high school union this year has been larger than that of any previous year. There is more enthusiasm and interest in the contest than any the union has yet staged,. according to Mr. Rankin. Advertise in the TAR HEEL. DR. J P.

Frosh Set Example for Varsity By Toppling Duke Yearlings. v The Tar Babies closed their season in fine style here Saturday night when they easily defeated the Duke Blue Imps thirty-six to twenty-four. This victory gave the Carolina fresh men an even break in their two game series with the Duke freshmen. Coach Belding sent in a different line-up in the fray Saturday and its smooth work 'showed that it was one of the best combinations yet tried out by the Tar Baby mentor. Myers, who has been working at center as the substitute for Reid, started the game at this position. Reid was shifted to the . guard position formerly occupied by Hutchinson and Hutchinson was moved to the ' forward place usually held down by Sachs. At the opening of the fray the Carolina freshmen dpened up a smooth attack featured by the tight defensive play of the entire team and the accurate shoot ing of Hutchinson ; and Johnny Greene. Soon they were out in. the lead and at the half were ahead with a comfortable marsrin. At the beirin ning 'of the second period the Blue Imps made a determined effort s to knot the count and crept up on the heels of Belding's men. However, in the closing stages of the game,-the Carolina defense tightened and the forwards dropped in enough points to give the Tar Babies a twelve point win. V Green and Hutchinson led the at tack with, ten points each. Alexander and Myers with nine and seven points respectively were the only other Car olina players to figure in the scoring. Nearly all of the Blue Imps broke into the scoring column but Garber, with a total of ten points, was the only one who was able to locate the hoops with any regularity. ' ; . ", ;" 1 ; .

PUGILISTS WIN OVER WASHINGTON AND LEE 7 TO O v Charlie Brown and Vaughn Win By Knockouts ; Two New ; Men in Line-up. i The University of North Carolina boxers continued their march toward another Southern Conference cham pionship Saturday afternoon, when they decisively won over the Wash ington and Lee pugilists by the score of 7 to 0. . - v The Tar' Heels outclassed their op ponents in every bout, winning - by three knockouts, three decisions, and a forfeit in the heawweicht division. The Carolina J lineup was somewhat different from that of previous meets. Cummings and Webb took care of the 135 and the 145 pound weights. "They came through in great style. Cum mings gained a knockout over Ward, and Webb gained a decision over Crosland. Goodridge and Alien did not don the gloves, saving themselves for the important meet at Duke on Tuesday. "Vaughn and Browji scored knockouts in the second rounds of their fights. John Warren almost gained a knock out in the last bout of the evening, when his opponent barely did weather the punishment in the last round. Summary of bouts-: 115 pounds Vaughn, Carolina, de feated Armstrong, by technical knock out. " ' ' " 125 pounds Sheffield, Carolina, de feated Block, by decision. 135 pounds Cummings, ' Carolina, defeated Ward, by knockout. 145 pounds Webb, Carolina, de feated Crosland, by decision.
