Thursday, September 25, 1929 - - iiiJJ JJAilI ;TAil HEEL vxitiLuu aowe lias liood Crowd At First Meeting of Heel Boxers rage Three TAT Seven Letter Men Are Back From Championship 1928 Team; Allen Captain. Two new coaches and 45 stu dents answered the initial call for candidates for another pros pective Southern championship boxing team at Gerrard hall Tuesday night. With two out of the three championships rest ing securely in her possession Carolina is preparing to make a strong bid for the title again this year. The return of Crayton Rowe 'as boxing coach -after a year's absence will be welcomed by all those who remember him as the diminutive coach who put Caro lina's boxing teams on the map. It was under his able tutorage that such stars as Warren, Shu ford, Terris, Wright, Brown and this season's captain and south ern lightweight champion, Ar chie Allen, were developed. Odell Sapp, two years varsity light-heavyweight, is to coach the freshmen this year. The 25 who reported for practice gave the impression of containing good material. Four meets al ready on the schedule and the promise of probably two more is sure to result in keen competi tion for positions. A trip to V. M. I., one to Virginia, and Duke, and V. P. I. here, are the meets already on the schedule for the freshmen. From last year's southern championship team seven letter men are back. Captain Allen, Vaughan, Sheffield, Goodrich, Webb, Davis and John Warren make about as formidable an array as any coach might ask for at the beginning of the sea son. Add to this three men from last year's freshman team such as Ed Gray, Jimmy Gattlin, and Tom Parsons and one can go places and do things. And this is just what Coach Rowe is doing. Starting the season off here with V. P. I. on January 25, varsity and frosh get a stiff workout. Both tackle V. M. I. a week later at Lexing ton. On the eighth the two teams go "to Virginia, the only other school that has won the southern title since the installation of the tournament four years ago. February 15 the varsity take their big trip down to Florida in quest of the 'Gators' scalp, seeking revenge for their only , defeat last year. Two days later on the trip home there will be a Dnei stop ior nosmiues at South Carolina's camp. Then to complete the hardest week in the history of Carolina boxing, and to mark its entrance in intersec tional competition, on February 22, Archie Allen's followers take on the national collegiate cham pions, Penn State, at Chapel Hill. Tentative meets with Duke and Washington and Lee are on the schedule but the dates have not yet been fixed. Coach Crayton Rowe states that while there appears to be a complete varsity team out he wants all men interested in the sport to report to him for prac tice and instruction. A number of vacancies are in the varsity squad due to the fact that there are several men in the same weight. Of course the freshman team is yet to be picked and all those out will be given, ample opportunity to display their wares. Although Coach Rowe will de vote the majority of his time in developing his teams, time will be given in teaching the art of " self-defense to all those interest ed. Classes will be conducted every afternoon and the coaches will work with the beginner as well as the experienced boxer. Boxing is a sport that develops the individual rapidly and symetrically, gives him self-as- BASEBALL NOTICE Coach Ashmore has called a meeting of the varsity baseball squad for 4 o'clock today.

June Adams, Charlie Chat ham, Meade Willis, and Luther Steward, who composed last year's golf team, are all back and eligible to play1 again this sea son.

Coaches Lake Russell and Harrold McNabb, Mercer's new mentors, have developed their squad, 30 candidates into a likely . looking football eleven. When Russell took charge of Mercer's athletics, the pros pects for a good football team were the gloomiest in years, but the young coach and his still younger assistant ,have worked hard morning and after noon during the last three weeks and now have the small group of Bear gridiron war- riors in tip-top snape ana ready to play a game at any time.

SEND THE TAR HEEL HOME (By Crawford McKethnn) H E old order changes ; the Hall of Football Fame as received its prizes, ana now a new influx of as piring grid stars are preparing toi .. i l 1 SZj-ES?Dresent their goods to the scrutiny of a criti cal North Carolina public opin ion. The first shock brought on by -the thought that such men as Dick Grey, Jack McDowell, Harry Schwartz and finally that great combination Rackley and Riley, will never again bring to their feet the cheering masses of North Carolina football fans has passed away, and in its place has come comfort in the thought that 1929 contains a col lection of candidates such as never before has offered itself upon the N. C. gridiron. It has often been said this early fall that Duke's possibili ties were stronger this season than ever before; just how much truth there is in this statement we may all see when the Blue Devils take the field Saturday against Mercer away down in Macon. A world of strength has come up this year from the frosh team of last year, in fact nine of these sophomores are now standing on an even par with many of the lettermen and re serves of last year. Six of these sophs are slated to see action in the backfield at some time dur ing this season; the aforemen tioned backfield candidates are Robeson, Brewer, Coleman, Rochelle, Beaver and Russ ; Hyatt, Bryan and Friedman are pushing their seniors for a berth in the line. Rasky, Buie and Jankoski are all back this year to add their strength to the back- field. Peeler, Carpenter, Thorne, Warren, Taylor and Adkins will form the bulwark of the for ward wall. This leaves unmen tioned Captain Kistler who claims undisputed ownership of one of the . tackle positions. Duke's hopes for a strong de fense lie in the fact that around Kistler as a nucleus, a potent line may be moulded. State has three sophs back who are showing up unusually well and are making it pretty hot for the three letter ball-tot-ers who have turned up this fall. Wright, Dellinger, and Devant all showed up well on last year's freshman team and are contin uing this performance in the scrimmages this year. Melton, Johnson and Jeffrey are the Davidson, although recent re Around the following men the 1929 State line will undoubtedly be built: Jakie Jordan, Morgan, Crousen, Vann, Smathers, Stout, Chaplin and Gardner. Captain Lepo will hold down one of the tackle positions and will have on his shoulders the same responsi bility that his rival from Duke must run up against. Davidson will center its hopes this year ardund 'five men who return as the only surviving vet erans and reserves of real strength from last year's squad. Coaches Younger and Tilson have friore than a hard job on their hands, and one that when viewing the prospects that some of the other Big Five elevens seem to have, appears to be a bit overwhelming. Captain Brook on the flank is the one man of real strength on the Wildcat team; in the backfield the 'Cats will have McCall, Fra ley, Brohart, and Parrish. In spite of its crippled condition Davidson will be forced to meet one of the stiff est schedules in its history. Pat Miller has just about as tough an assignment over at Wake Forest as Younger has at Davidson, although recept re ports seem to place the Deacons in a far more optimistic light. Among the men who will be called upon to meet the Heels on Saturday will be Williams, Webb, Zimmerman, Mills and Cox. Just what -surprises Pat has hidden up his sleeve will be forced out in rapid style this week-end ; his team may then be a wonder team but it will no longer be a mystery team. Student Musicians at Duke Are Now Getting Organized Grail Dance Saturday The Grail anounecs that its first dance of the season will take place Saturday night at 9 o'clock in the gymnasium. Jack Ward law will play. Track Notice Durham, Sept.. 25. Student musicians at Duke University are getting their year's musical activities well under way. The first organization to 'get away with a flying start is the band. In past years the university band has been an outstanding organization on the campus, and its leaders believe that this year will be an even greater one for it. Its first appearance will be on October 5 at the opening of the new stadium. New equipment has been bought for the band, and with a high-stepping drum major leading a company of brilliant ly uniformed players their ini tial appearance should attract attention. Nearly 100 men turned out for the first band practice of the fall, and out of these Director George E. Lef twich will select the most capable 50. Accord ing to Director Lef twich the band will accompany the football team to a number of away from home games this fall. Other musical organizations on the campus are likewise get ting busy, and with ample talent the' symphony orchestra, the jazz orchestra, and the glee clubs are looking to crack organizations. Coach Ranson wishes all var sity candidates for track to be present for practice starting to day at 4 o'clock. Equipment will be issued today between the hours of 10:30 and 12 and 2:30 and 4. V .
