CARROLL POPLIN
Two of Carolina's winter athletic teams will swing into action
this week-end, while the rebounding basketball team continues its
foreign battles by playing their fifth game in eight days at Da
vidson tonight. All have been conference contests.
The wrestling squad, coached by the
veteran Lhuck vuimau aim anatomm
by Al Crawford, will hit the mats on
Friday night against the Mountaineer
grapplers from Appalachian- State
Teachers College.
Leather will be flying on Saturday
night of this week, as Coach Jule Med-
win will send his boxers through the
ropes to battle South Carolina in
what is expected to be a close scrap.
Medwin, who succeeds Joe Murnick,
was a former boxing champ here and
coach at Virginia Tech.
JUST A HINT TO THE WISE
To those who are planning to attend
the Carolina-Duke basketball game at
Durham on February 16, should pur
chase tickets right away because a
sell-out is anticipated. Maybe it"
would be a good idea for the local ath
letic office to purchase a block of tick
ets and put them on sale at the gym.
Most of us would like to see the game,
you know. Student athletic cards will
be no good for this conference classic.
Carolina's basketball team may still
retain the high national ranking, by
virtue of Colgate's upset victory over
Army last week with a 70-46 trounc
ing. New York University had pre
viously, beaten the Red Raiders and
Carolina in turn slapped NYU out of
the undefeated class. So in a round
about way the White Phantoms are
still in the running with the top cage
outfits of the country. . . . Speaking
of basketball, sometime last Decem
ber the court team was promised a
training table to eat on, but un
fortunately it has not been provided
as yet. What's happened? The bas
. ketball fellows really deserve it, but j
e's
where.

it will take something like two weeks
to get the boys in shape for scrimmage,
and at that time, the group will be

respectively. The Tar Heels held a slim
17-15 margin at intermission, but pull
ed ahead in the last stanza to down a
scrappy Virginia quintet. Jim White,
starter on the '42 five, played his usual
fine role in the victory by throwing in
eight points.
Dillon Scores 18
John Dillon hooked in eight field
goals and two free throws for a total
of 18 points to lead the White Phant
oms to a 48-40 decision over a surpris
ing and strong Virginia Tech team last
Saturday night. The win gave Caro
lina four conference wins against one
reverse. Tech fought the Tar Heels to
a close battle and trailed only by four
points at the half, 20-16.
The V. P. I. courtmen, regarded as
one of the toughest teams Carolina has
met all season, gave the Carnevale-
men a scare in the latter half, but the
Southern conference champs forced
ahead in the final minutes to eain
their second straight win in two
nights. Bob Paxton and Jim Jordan
accounted for 11 points apiece in the
close fracas. Jim White started the
game in place of Taylor Thorn.

road again this Friday by journeying
to High Point College and travel to

& The Tar Heel grapplers will receive
their initial test of the season when
they clash with Appalachian here Fri
day night. Although the list of starters
has not been ascertained, it is likely
that such wrestling veterans as Frank
Mordecai, Art Bluethenthal, Al Craw
ford, and Tommy Hearn will have
positions in the lineup.
Coach Chuck Quinlan has a poten
tial championship team on hand this
season. Frank Mordecai was undefeat
ed Southern conference chamuion 165
pound-class and co-captain of the team
in 1943. Tommy Hearn and Art Blue
thenthal were also lettermen in 1943.
In addition Irwin Smalwood, D. F.
Ryder, and Bill Crutchfield have re
turned from last year's team. Al Craw
ford was national heavyweight cham
pion at Applachain last year.
Intensive Drills
This week the team Is taking in
tensive calisthenics in an effort to
eliminate the great amount of excess
weight hanging around the wrestling
room. A great deal of work is ahead
if the squad is to in the best possible
condition when it meets Appalachian.
Members of the varsity who will
wrestle Friday will be decided upon
when trial matches are held in all
weights this week. There are quite a
few boys out for posts and there will
be some hotly contested battles before
the starting brackets are decided. The
only position that will be undisputed
is the unlimited division which Al
Crawford will occupy. Coach Quinlan
remarked at practice last week that
Crawford is one of the best wrestlers
he has ever coached.
Coach Quinlan has turned out four
Big Five championship teams and one
runner-up in the last seven years at
Carolina. Much of the credit should
go to him for he has developed many
Southern conference champion wrest
lers from boys who never saw ja mat
before they came under his guiding
hand.
The freshmen on the squad show
great possibilities. They have been
picking up their sure-fire pin holds
with great rapidity and have given
signs of development this season.
