Thursday, February 21, 1929 THE T AG HEEL Pafre -TIirc3 II V i TI TITl fj iiiliiilG-. s V 1 v irl ViiiiliJiliCi) ! I Tar Heels .Double Score on Their Ancient Duke Riyals - Vaughn, Davis, Sheffield, Good ridge, and Allen Win Bouts; Brown Technically Knocked Out. Captain Brown The University of North Carolina boxers added another scalp to their string last night, cinched, the" state championship by defeating the Duke Blue Devils by the score of .) to 2 in the Devil'sgym. The Tar Heels had it all over the Duke boxers, winning the first four bouts to cinch the meet, x The Duke team scored heavily when Captain Carper won over Captain Brown of Carolina by a" technical knockout. This was the feature bout 6f the evening. Early in the second round Carper landed a hard right to Brown's jaw, stunning him for the moment. There was no count, and Brown appeared to be able to carry on the fight as much as ever. How ever, he disqualified himself when he made the technical mistake of drop ping to his knee as-Carper was going to . a neutral corner. , Vaughn, Carolina bantam, won over the highly touted Saint Amand in the first match of the evening. With a powerful blow in both hands, the little -Tar Heel caught Saint Amand in the second round and from then on it was all Vaughn. Sheffield of Carolina fought' a clever fight. Time after time, he rocked Martin with hard punches to the head. Sheffield floored his op ponent twice in the second round, but he was up before the count. Goodridge of Carolina put up one of the cleverest exhibitions of boxing that has been seen in collegiate cir cles this year. The Duke boy could not hit him, and in the third round Goodridge began using uppercuts to good advantage. He is only a sopho more and should make a name for himself before he . throws the ' gloves away. , - In the welterweight division Allen ' won overWise and cinched the meet for Carolina. Allen used his ring experience to good advantage, clever ly evading the slugging Duke boy and giving him severe punishment in the last, rounds. . , Davis defeated Hottenstein in the lightheavy class for Carolina's fifth victory. Although Davis was . out weighed thirty, pounds, he was the master of the match from the start. Hottenstein had no way of stopping he left that Davis poked in his face almost continually. An unusual bout closed the fights. John Warren and Millard Warren, both brothers of Punch-Em Add, fought against one another in the heavyweight scrap. After an extra round the Duke Warren was given the decision over his brother from Carolina. However all thoughts of - brotherly, love were cast asjde and this match proved to be one of the best of the evening. Summary of bouts: J.15-pound class Vaughn (Caro- ; lina) "decision over Saint Amand, 125-pound class Sheffield (Caro lina) t decision over Martin. 135-pound class Goodridge (Caro lina) , decision over Smith. 145-pound class Allen, (Carolina), decision -over Wise. 158-pound class Captain Carper (Duke), technical knockout over Cap tain Brown, in second round. 165-pound class Davis (Carolina) decision over Hottenstein.

The University of North Carolina ' basketball squad, with its state cham pionship securely won, is the sixth Tar Heel team to win the "Big Five" crown in eight years of play. Other Tar Heel teams won the title in 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925, and 1928. The Red. Terrors of N. C. State broke the rule in 1926, and in 1927 the Tar Heels and Demon Deacons of Wake Forest tied up. "" Professor C. E. Cauthen , who has been in Durham hospital for , several days after undergoing an operation for appendicitis is "expected to re turn soon. f mm Wm i f . - - A X A - - $ . - -' : : - BASIffiTEERS WILL MEET WILD CATS TOMORROW NIGHT Only Two More Games on Sche dule before Southern Con ference Tournament.

SATTERFIELD AT TOP OF SCORING LIST, AS USUAL Midget Forward Has Made 153 Points in 21 Games This Year. Henry Satterfield, midget Tar Heel forward, is leading the University of North Carolina basketball squad in season scoring as his team" turns into the home stretch this week. With two more games still on the cards before the Southern Conference Tournament, Satterfield has already rung up 153 points in 21 games. This total tops Captain Ruf us , Hackney's 132 points, accumulated in " a like number of games, , - These two veteran forwards, team ed on the same clubs for eight years, have led the Tar Heel offensive in most of the games this year, but they have received able assistance from such young stars as Billie Brown, Artie Marpet and "Puny" Harper, with the veterans George Cathey and "Red" Price chipping in their share. Billie Brown, rookie guard, takes third place iri the Tar Heel scoring with 93 points in 16 games. George Cathey. playing his third year at center and forward, has totalled 81 points in 20 games; while Artie Mar pet, sensational young sophomore guard, shows 64 'markers Jn 19 games. "Red" Price and "Puny" Harper are running close races for the next rung on -'the ladder, Price showing 48 points- in 16 games, and Harper 44 points in 15 games, Choate and Neiman, sophomore guard and forward, are the only other Tar Heels to score, having rung 4 and 2 points apiece. : The stellar defensive work and all round play of Brown and Marpet, rookie guards, has perhaps been the outstanding feature of the Carolina season so far. They have been" big factors in the comparatively green team's fine record of 11. Conference games won, and 2 lost in all battles through the Duke game of last Satur day night. Both are expected to be strong figures in the Southern Con ference Tournament. Henry Satterfield, midget Tar Heel forward, is leading the University of North Carolina basketball squad in season scoring. Satterfield has ac cumulated 153 points in 21 ' games already played and leads Captain Ruf us Hackney by 21 points for in dividual honors. ,: This week will bring to a close one of the most hectic basketball seasons that the Big Five in North Carolina has ever gone through. The' race for the state championship was very close and was decided last Saturday when the Heels defeated Duke. Coach Ashmore's men have only two more "games on their - schedule before they leave for Atlanta and the Southern Conference tournament. To morrow night the Davidson Wildcats will invade the Tin Can for a return game with Carolina. .While the David son team has showed quite a bit of improvement as the season progress ed, the Tar Heels are expected : to close their Big Five competition with a win, : Saturday night will see the Caro lina team in its final appearance be fore North Carolina fans. The V. M. I. Cadets will furnish the op position in a game ..which will be played in the Tin Can. The pre- game dope also favors. Carolina to ring up a victory in this battle. - The standing among the members of the Big Five will hardly be alter ed. by this week's play. Davidson is the only team whichplays more than one game and it is scheduled to make a tour which will bring it against each of the other four major college teams on .successive nights. Wake Forest is counted definitely out of the running since . it's poor showing against Guilford. State and Davidson are at present tied for third place but the dope favors Tebell's men to end up invthird place while the Cats will pro bably be forced to drop into fouth po sition after this week's play is over. Carolina and Duke will more than likely end up in the first and second positions respectively. The standing among the Big Five at present is: v Team Won Lost Pet.

The fencing team of South Carolina is the champion of the Southern Con ference and match with them will show exactly what the team here is capable of doing againsf competition. If Carolina wins a Southern Confer ence ranking will be established and future matches- will be forthcoming. According to Manager Galland the team has avery favorable chance of winning. Several good fencers have been developed since lastr fall and many of the members of the club had previous experience before coming to Carolina. . Practice has been going along as smoothly as could be hoped for. Prac tically every man in the club has been on hand at the Tin Can every after noon since the organization 61 the team last fall and a great deal of in terest in fencing has manifested it self among the members. Captain Hendlin , requests thatJ every man on the squad or any who are inclined toward fencing come out today to commence extensive practice forthe anticipated match with the Southern Conference champions. The Tar Heels may present a new heavyweight wrestler against the Duke Blue Devils in their annual battle in Durham on next Tuesday night. Coaches Quinlan and Mot singer have been grooming Clyde McKinney, 250 pound football tackle," to face Captain Okie Jones, Duke's heavyweight, star. v Sophomore Star 1 w For the first, time in the history of wrestling at the University of North Carolina the Tar Heels enter the field as serious contenders 16t the Southern Championship crown. " Four teams have been met this season and as yet the Carolina colors have not been lowered in defeat. In so far as records can determine, this, is the first season- that the Tar Heel schedule has gone through four straight con tests without being blackened by an adverse score. : ' During the 1924-25 season tinder the leadership of Coach Shapiro, un der whose guidance wrestling was instituted three years before, the Tar Heels met eight teams and at the end of the season had three victories and five defeats to their credit. De- feats were administered by Davidson, Washington and. Lee, Virginia, V.P.I. and V.M.I. For the first time mono grams were awarded to the members of the team. - - j The 1926 campaign was far. more successful; the Tar Heels added .five victories out of six meets to their score. V. M. I. was the only opponent (o gain a victory. State, V.P.I., Vir ginia and Duke each bowed in defeat before the Carolinians. At . the end of this season the University did not hesitate to claim the State Champion ship." ' V." . ' . ' -i . The 1928 season opened with not a single letter man back; however, the stellar work of Abbott and Thompson managed to chalk up a fairly successful season. Three matches out of seven were won. Again V.P.I, and V.M.I, trounced Carolina and for the first time Duke and Davidson gained victories As ' a final consolation a 14 to 9 victory was edged over Virginia. That summary brings to the fore front -the season of 1929 with-its possibilities and its already accom plished feats. Already the Tar Heels have avenged some of the defeats of their ancestors by completely sub duing Washington and Lee, . V.P.I., Virginia, and Davidson. Only three matches remain on the schedule: State, Duke and V.M.I. Not only do these matches contain the hopes of a State Championship but also the dream' of ,a Southern Conference throne. Last year V.P.I, occupied the seat of honor, but their defeat by North Carolina in the early stages of the season wil cause them to tumble from this pedestal. The-State meet was to come off today in Raleigh but for unavoidable reasons this meet had to be postponed indefinitely. Next Tuesday night the Tar Heels -will meet Duke in a meet all important so far as the State Championship is concerned. Following this meet on Saturday night V.M.I, will be met in probably the most important meet of the Southern Conference. Baseball Schedule In a Short While W;:;::;;:v::-:;;BviS; 5 Accordingtb announcements from the office of the Graduate Manager of Athletics the 1929 baseball sche dule will be released shortly. v Unofficial reports have it that the Heels will play a schedule calling for about thirty games. As usual all members of the "Big Five" will play two game series with the Carolina team. Continuance of the Tri-State League, consisting of members of the Southern Conference in North Caro lina, Virginia, and Maryland, is plan ned by the members of the Con ference in these three states. . Last year the Cavaliers from the University of Virginia capped the title by defeating the - Washington and Lee Generals in a two-game series after winning one of the three games from Carolina. Captain Lufty of the Heels won the individual hit ting honors of the league. The Heels won second place in the league last year. . -; - : , . , .' Clearly outpointing Saint Amand of Duke Tuesday night, Evan Vaughn, sophomore boxer, showed himself the class of the 125-pound weight in the South. The clever, hard-hitting Penn sylvania boy is yet to lose a match and is picked to win the Conference title at Charlottesville. THE SPORT PAN . By YARBOROUGH INDOOR TRACK CARNIVAL HERE Invitations Have Been Sent To Leading Schools in South Atlantic Section. " Indoor track is to be re-introduced to North Carolina track followers early next month, according to' an nouncements made by athletic au thorities yesterday.

THE "DEAD BALL" RULE A majority of the football coaches throughout the country seem to favor the recent "major" revision of foot ball rules, the "dead ball" rule. Ac cording to the decision of the Inter collegiate Football Rules Committee, henceforth a fumbled ball is "dead" where the defensive man covers it. If an offensive player recovers the ball, we understand, he has the privi lege of running with it. Practically all of the Southern Coaches favor the rule. In the East the sentiment is predominatingly in favor of the ruling, except in New York city where the newswriters are divided equally over the rule. From the midwest comes the most pronounced sentiment against the rule. While many of the Western coaches favor the ruling, yet we find there some well known figures in football opposed to the change. A. A. Stagg, University of Chicago coach and member of the rules com mittee, Hanley of Northwestern, Glenn Thistlewaite of Wisconsin, and Walter Eckersall, famous grid player in years past and well known as an official and sports writer today, form the bulk of the opposition. There is a great deal to be saidfor both sides. There is no doubt but that a very spectacular phase of the game is removed. No longer will the enthusiastic sports ' writer be able to "get off his words" about the spec tacular recovery of a fumble and run for a touchdown by some player. The element of chance that has sometimes sent good teams down to defeat is eliminated by this change. The ruling penalizes the weaker team in that there is little regard for an alert, linesman other than the recovery it self . His chance to cover himself with glory in that way is. gone. He must play the game according to the orthodox method and his glory will come from being outstanding in play ' rather than from a spectacular run. SHADES OF THE PAST This recent change brings back several instances where apparent de feat has been turned into victory. The most pronounced in our memory is the run Johnny Coxe pulled against Carolina two years ago. Carolina was leading at the time, and "seemed headed for another touchdown. Sud denly one of the backs fumbled and was tackled. " The alert Coxe, then a sophomore, grabbed the ball and out distanced the Carolina men in his sprint for the goal. This one so called break gave the game to Wake Forest. Another ' instance close at home happened during the Duke-Carolina game lastDecember. ' With the Score tied 7-7, Carolina was well on its way to a score when one of the Caro lina backs fumbled. A Duke forward was. ready. He picked up the ball and started fop"a State title. . He was pulled down, but he had carried the ball well into Carolina territory. Fortunately for the Heels the, referee had sounded his whistle before the fumble occurred. Carolina won the game, but it. was a near-defeat for them. . There are numerous other instances that have occurred in football where a fumble gave one team a victory. A speedy Navy end once turned the trick in the closing minutes of play. A fumble and a mistaken sense of direction helped Georgia Tech in the iournament of the Roses this year. We could fill many columns with instances of the advantage of the fumble to one team, but what's the use? The ball is "dead" now. CARPER'S VICTORY We have only one remark to make concerning the fight Tuesday night between Carper and Brown. We re gret that the fight ended as early as it did. It started off too good to end so abruptly. Perhaps three full rounds will be fought at Charlottes ville next week. While we do not know Carper's sentiments, we believe that the Duke captain would liked to have finished the fight. There will always be doubt as to the better man unless they happen to meet in the tournament. 1 TT? H ,"7fP fr'W'fi U.D' EN JUL JJ. mm staitioiniery UFFLY STORE (Next to Methodist Church)
