But for some reason or other Caro lina has not heen up to par this week. In their tilt with State at Raleigh, the boys managed to win by a 6-5 count, a much closer game than the opening game with the Wolfpack here earlier in the season. It is a known fact that State has improved a great deal, but then it seems obvious too that Caro lina is heading downward.

In the topsy-turvy pro ball this year with oldtimers and high school kids, one can never tell just what will happen. It is a cinch that the Cards will wind up in the top bracket of the National League, but the American League leader is sort of difficult to ascertain. Because of the lack of interest in the spring basketball drills, it looks as if Coach Lange will have to discon tinue the sessions. "With boys out for tennis, track, and baseball it makes it difficult to organize a larger group for SDrinff basketball.

Give Sweets to the Sweet on Her Very Special Day SELECT YOURS EARLY At Dot Enzer, manager of the bad minton tournament, urges all girls to play off their matches immediate ly. So far the only winners re ported are Bebe Castleman, Sammy Pou and Dot Enzer. At the rate the other players are going now Dot, Sammy and Bebe may be left as un challenged winners of the tourna ment. The game between Jfi .fhi and ADPi, which was reported as won by Pi Phi, is to be played again because the scoring is held to have been un official. The only, score kept was that which was kept by the Tar Heel re porter and published in the Tar Hee' last Saturday. The WAA room is complete and See COED SPORTS, page 4 Ration Loop Notes The number one problem of the Ra tion Circuit, how to stop Duke, was solved by the Pre-Flight this week when the Navy Cadets handed the Dukesters a 4-3 defeat. In their first contest, Pre-Flight lost to the Duke nine by a 6-5 count at Durham. The Navy boys came back on their home ground and margined the Duke club to retaliate. As it now stands with the three teams on top of the circuit Carolina, Pre-Flight and Duke the outcome of today's games .will probably decide the eader. If Pre-Flight and Carolina win heir matches today, they will tie for he top post, but if State wins and Duke wins, Duke will have the lead all by herself. Two of Duke's three victories have been scored over the State Wolfpack, the league's cellar-dwellers, and the other was a close 6-5 decision over the strong Pre-Flight nine. State, because of scholastic sched ules, has crammed all its games into the fore part of the schedule and will not play after May 20. From then on, the battle promises to be a knock down, drag-out affair between Duke, Carolina and Pre-Flight. All over the circuit, admiration has been expressed for the young and in experienced, but decidedly game N. C. State entry. The Pack has refused to quit hustling in the face of consistent defeat. Usually, it is such teams that thrpw monkey wrenches into the as pirations of flag contenders. Baseballers Win Over State by 6-5 Carolina edged out a 6-5 decision over a determined State College nine in an 11 inning tilt at Raleigh last Wednes day to hand the Red Terrors their sixth defeat this season. This win gives the Tar Heels a record of two victories and one setback in league competition thus far. "Fireball" King opened on the mound for Carolina and held State in check for seven innings until the ice crack ed and three runs crossed the plate on Page's homer to right field to tie up the ball game. Carolina moved ahead early in the contest with two runs in the fourth and added another in the sixth. Both teams came back in the eight frame to knot the count at 5 all. Win in 11th The Tar Heels pushed across the winning marker in their half of the eleventh as DiChiara singled to tenter and advanced to third on Dallas Branch's double and scored on a wild pitch. Claude Crocker, relieved King in the ninth and received credit for the vie tory. Carolina took advantage of State's seven errors and rapped out eight ban gles for the win. "Bobo" Gilliam spark ed the hitting attack for the Tar Heels in having a perfect day at the bat with five hits for five 'times at bat. D Chiara followed with three safeties. Coaches Ranson And Fetzer Take 17Tracksters Engineers Fielding: Strong Cinder Outfit Against Tar Heels By Ralph Parks, Jr. Carolina's track squad left for At lanta, Georgia, last night, where they will face a strong Georgia Tech team today in their second meet of the season. Coaches Ranson and Fetzer carried a squad of 17 men. The squad as a whole is in good shape, and the meet promises to be one of the best. Ranson appeared skeptical about the encounter with the Rambling Wreck, and he said "it stacks up as fairly even competition with Tech having a slight edge in the weights." Tech Is Winner The Tech squad has already had three meets, winning all of them by decisive scores. They hold two wins over Tulane, 91-35 and 84-42; and they also swamped little Sewanee to the tune of 113 to 13. There are many stars in the Geor gia Tech line-up, the best being Serrie, who is a former 'national interschol- astic 1,000 meter champion. For the Tech boys Serrie runs the mile and the two-mile. Top Men The top dash men are Enders and Elebash. Enders ran the, 220-yard dash in 21.8 against Tulane, and Ele bash runs the 100 in 10 seconds flat, and is also top-notch competition in the 220. Hills has thrown the shot put 46 feet 8 inches which is a great deal better than anything Carolina can put on the field. Other top-notch performers foi the Rambling Wreck are Carpenter in the high jump and Hill in the half-mile. In their first meet of the season, the Tar Heels dropped a close, hard-fought battle to the Cloudbusters, 67-59. The team has been working over-time this week, and promises to give the Atlanta boys a race all the way.

BELL CLEANERS v East Franklin Street Gene McEver Is Interested In Carolina Plans Being Made To Offer McEver One Year Contract The long struggle has ended in search for a head football coach if there is not a slip between the cup and the lip so to speak, because it is almost certain that Gene McEver, former Davidson mentor will come here if officials above the Athletic Assosiation give the nod. It is almist certain that Davidson will drop from the football picture next season. This would put McEver out of the football picture also, and the op portunity to come here for, a year would be a great help to McEver. Davidson officials will have to agree to a one year contract for McEver if the negotations are completed. Tennessee Performer A former Tennessee football perfor mer, McEver is well rounded in foot ball. While at Davidson, he has had to work with a small bunch of boys and the chance to really get up in the big time has never been his because Davidson just has not had the material. McEver did a good job with what he had and is expected to make Carolina a reliable top man. Coach Fetzer said that McEver had talked with the Athletic Officials about the proposition and that McEver was interested in coming here as well as the Athletic Officials were interest ed in his coming here. Final Notice The final announcement that either McEver or someone else will come here in about two weeks to start spring drills should break in the news either late today or tomorrow. Of course there will be the problem of other members for the coaching staff, but if the head coaching post is solved sometime soon, there is a good chance for Carolina to start a Navy, civilian, and Marine football machine rolling in high gear. Burglars who broke into the Uni versity of Georgia library ransacked the rare book room but stole only a flashlight.
