Friday, December 1 ' lu, 1929 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Parc Thrc; WRESTLM EXPECT SUCCE iMTr HAVE FUL YEAR 1 Art Marpet Only Two Regulars Lost From Last Year; Qninlan Calls for Heavyweight Aspirants. According to advance infor mation, the 1929 varsity wrest ling team shows every indication of having a successful season. The candidates for this season show some unusually good pros pects. Stallings, 115 pound -weighty should show up well be fore the end of the " season. Woodard, captain this year, is making a fine showing in the 125 pound weight. Both of these boys have a fine chance for all southern honors. Other weights include Zealy and Albright, 135 pounds, and Tsumas, G. Saun ders and Spell on the freshman teams last year and the year before, in the 145 pound weight. Higdon, Moore and Whitener are doing good work in the .155 pound Hveight and should come, through this season in fine style. Cowper has been out for football but will nter the 165 weight after Christmas. There are a number of good prospects from the freshman team last year and before the 1929 season has closed several are expected to show up well. The weakest positions now are the heavy weights Every year this weight seems to be the hard est to fill due to the few candi dates who come out. Peyton Abbott, assistant to Coach Quin lan, who is in charge at present, urges all candidates for heavier weights particularly to come out. Former experience is not neces sary and every one is given an equal chance to show what he can do. Before a meet every one is given an apportunity to try out. There are good chances in the heavy weight for those '-who wish to come out and work. The varsity has a hard sched ule ahead of them, and meets the strong Perm State team about the middle of the season. Other matches are with State, , Duke, Davidson, V. M. I., V. P. I., Washington and Lee and Vir ginia. A Southern Conference meet is assured for this year and the Carolina team has a good chance at the championship. If the team shows up well in the coming matches, they may be entered in the national inter collegiate championship meet at Philadelphia in March. ... 1 L " Artie Marpet was one of the best defensive guards in the state last year. This is his sec ond year on the varsity. COACH ROWE HAS FOUR LETTERMEN Southern Champion Boxers Have Big Gaps to Fill; Captain Al len, Sheffield, Goodridge, and Warren Back. ("Heinie") THE CAMPUS FOOTBALL TITLE Has finally been settled and the next intramural produc tion will probably be the bas ketball league. "No definite date has yet been announced for the opening of the basketbalHeague, but it is expected that the intra mural association will open' up court activities early in the sec ond quarter. Several of the dormitories and fraternities have already been working out and it is expected that a large number of teams will enter the league. More interest was taken in the football league this year than usual and there is every indication that such will be the case in basketball. None of the teams went through the basket ball season last year without a defeat, and it is hardly likely that any will be undefeated in the coming season. I . Billie Brown I' fx Carolina 41 Greensboro Y 10 1; Billy Brown will Be "one of the mainstays of the Carolina team this year. In spite of his posi tion as guard, he was one of the highest scorers on the squad last year. ' Last night the Carolina var sity basketball team over whelmed Greensboro Y. M. C. A. 41-10 in the Tin Can. At the half-way point the Tar Heels were leading by a small margin, but soon after the be ginning of the second period the University team hit its stride and ran wild. Much of Carolina's superiority was in the guards, Marpet and Brown. Coach Ashmore used his substitutes freely through out the game. Tonight the Tar Heels close their pre-holiday schedule with Durham's Y. M. C. A. in the Tin Can. If what we hear is true, some of the most popular measures in Congress are pints and quarts.

San Diego Union. Gym Track Meet A track meet similar to the one held Wednesday was staged yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock on Emerson field. The partici pants in the second meet were members of gym classes meeting Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fri days. Probably due to the in tense cold .the results were . not up to yesterday's standards, none of the records being brok en and only two being tied. , L. W. Whitehead, running the 50-yard dash in 6 seconds, equalled thtime of Ellis Dud ley, winner Wednesday ; and J. T. Griffith tied T. L. Glascock's 120-foot javelin throw. Whitehead was .also the fast est man in the hurdles, running the distance in 8 1-5 seconds. Griffith and R. B. Riddle, each threw the discus 72 feet for a tie for first-place. In the broad jump R. W. Johnston carried off the honors : by jumping 17 feet 6 inches; and three men, D. M. Sewell, R. B. Brock and R. W. Johnston, tied for first place in the high jump, each with jumps of 4 feet 9 inches. . The Wigue and Masque will hold an initiation this evening, Friday the -13th, at 7:15 o'clock in Gerrardrhall. All members, both active and inactive, are urged, to be present. With a southern crown to de fend, a North Carolina boxing squad of 35, that shows four lettermen back from last year's champions, is driving away in daily practice to carry on the fine Tar Heel ring record. Preliminary announcement of a schedule lists eight hard meets, one an intersectional test with an outstanding eastern uni versity. Coach Crayton Rowe has three big gaps in his lineup, and is striving hard to whip his squad ii$6 fair shape before the holi days. Captain Archie; .Allen, a southern champion last year, is back to take care of the 145 pound weight. Harry Sheffield, Noah Good ridge and John Warren, all of whom had fine records, and went far in last year's tournament, are back to fill the 125, 135 and 175 pound berths. Evan Vaughn and Obie Davis were due to return for the 115 and 160 pound berths and give the Tar Heels a veteran team except for the heavy berth. Both; boys dropped out of? col lege attthe last r minute, and now Coach Rowe has three big vacancies. .' Bill Koenig, football star, who boxed .his freshman year, is coming but for the heavyweight post, but so far there isn't an outstanding bantam in the camp. , Avery, Smathers and Rosen feldt are all showing well in the. 160, pound class; but it looks as if the Tar .Heels will have to go quite. a while before finding a bantam who could match the speedy, ' hard-hitting Vaughn. A number, of other candidates are showing no little promise in the daily practice session and bid ifair to . give the veterans some keen competition for their posts. . . ; . : Hoke Webb, who boxed in sev eral meets last year, is one of these, in the 145 pound class. Several up from last year's fine freshman team are also look ing good Jack Farris, 145 pounds, and Cohen, Gray and Gatlin in the featherweight class, being outstanding. r ii " Bernard 5 Shaw says he might be willing to write an original movie plot for three billion dol lars. It seems quite reasonable, since the outlay so far for the plot now in use has been about as much. Detroit 'News. TRACK OFFICIALS RE PORT that interest in the cin der path is picking up and that a larger number of candidates than usual are expected to turn out for winter practice - in the Tin Can and on the track. Ver non Cowper is assisting Coaches Fetzer and Ranson this year, and will probably give special attention to the pole vaulters and broad jumpers. It is a dif ficult task to fill Cowper's place in the pole vault this year. Last year he broke several University records and the Tar Heels came out first in the pole vault in every meet last season. Caro lina will probably show more strength in the sprints this year than in any .other portion of track. Ken Gay, last year's sprint star and Charlie Farmer, one of the fastest freshmen in the south last year, will com pose one of the. strongest sprint teams in the south. Gay secured a place in the Southern Confer ence meet last year, and Farmer was the most outstanding fresh man sprinter in the south. A BASKETBALL CAPTAIN has not been selected for this season,' the plan being to have Coach Ashmore select a leader before each game. The co-eds, however, have started activities by electing Ida Currie to lead their aggregation this year. Dave. Nims succeeds Johnnie Henderson as captain of track this year, and Jimmy Maus takes Nap Lufty's chair in base ball. Ed Yeomans will lead the tennis team this year, while Archie Allen is captain of box ing. Strud Nash was recently elected to captain the 1930 foot ball team. DEAN PAULSEN WAS true to his word and Wednesday night the Betas feasted at his home. .Dean 'Paulsen has been one of the most ardent support ers of the University teams and has especially boosted the intra mural athletic association. This reward to the winners of the campus football title was mere ly another way of showing his interest in the intramural teams. The winning of the campus title by Beta Theta Pi made the sec ond time within the past two years that a fraternity, has won this title. GRANTLAND RICE LAUDS TAR HEELS Lack of publicity may have quite a lot to do with the rating a football' team gets alongside other teams in the country. The fact that a college or university happens to be near a center of publicity can make a lot of dif ference. Grantland Rice, in his column in the New York Herald Tribune Tuesday, December 10, classed Carolina and Colgate as two teams which failed to get one-third of the credit due them. This, Mr. Rice said, was because of several reasons : one, that both dropped an early season game and-thus were eliminated from title . aspirations, and an other reason was lack of pub licity The word of Grantland Rice carries considerable weight in football circles, and his compli mentary comment on Carolina's season showing is not to be over looked. In part, he said concern ing Colgate and Carolina: "Up through" November they had each lost one game. Both had run up big scores against good teams. For example : North Carolina beat Maryland 43 to 0. Colgate beat Brown 32. to 0. At the finish . of : the season North Carolina and Colgate would have been ready to go against almost any team in the country and pro vide one of the busiest after noons of the year. Both teams were big, fast and well coached. Yet they dipped back of the main skyline because . Colgate lost an early game to Wisconsin and North Carolina f ell . before Georgia. Together they scored over 600 points against less than 70 for the opposition, which is pretty fair evidence they were playing quite a bit of f ootball here and there. Neither hap pens to be close to any large cen ter of publicity and this can make a lot of difference. But if football is played for. publicity it might as well be canned. Col gate and North Carolina seemed to be pretty well satisfied with what they did on the field not in the papers -which is one of the few outbreaks of sanity the late season has shown." IP TODAY ONLY Where? In Tar Heel Ads. THE BASKETBALL SCHE DULE for pre-season games will probably be against as strong or stronger teams than during the season ; games. Some Y. M. C. A.'s with which. these games are scheduled should. have some of the strongest teams in the south as many former college stars are playing with them. The Durham Y. M. C. A. team, for example, is mainly composed of former Carolina and Duke athletes. Rufus Hackney . and Henry Satterfield, two -of Caro lina's most outstanding players last year, will probably hold down their old positions on the Durham quintet.
