GPO IXC DAILY TAH HEEL spoxriB TAR KEEL QUET ' CARDED TO LIEET" STATE .AMD DUKE Boxing Team Goes to Blacks burg for Bouts with Gobblers. MATMEN VERSUS V. P. I. Wrestling: Team to Make Home Debut in Tin Can Next Saturday. Carolina athletic teams have a full card ahead of them this week with two events at home and two away. The basketball team will meet both State Col lege and Duke this week for their third and fourth starts against Big Five opposition. The boxing team goes up to Blacks burg, Virginia, Saturday, to meet the Gobbler pugs and the Gobbler wrestlers come here for an' engagement on the same date. . , ; AU Double Bills All of -the events this week are double bills, the" freshmen playing preliminary contests to both basketball games arid to the boxing and wrestling en gagements." ; Program Starts Tuesday The week's program will get underway Tuesday night at the Tin Can, when the State cagers meet the Tar Heels. . This game will have bearing on the out come of the Big Five race, for the Tar Heels to date have won one and lost one against North Carolina opposition. . State on Wednesday night defeated V. P. I., while the Tar Heels lost to the Gobblers Friday. In the state the Red Terrors have dropped a . game to Davidson and have beaten Wake Forest. The real test for the week comes next Saturday night when the quintet goes over to the new Duke gymnasium to meet the Blue Devils. Duke has not lost a game to Big Five opponents since they lost the Southern Con ference title to State College in 1929. Carolina will exert every effort to halt the Devils, but the Devils with their Croson and Company will be equally as de termined to take the Tar Heel's in camp again. The millionaires are the high scoring team of the state up to the present time, and have downed the Navy - and Wake Forest. The Maryland five halted them last week when they were on a northern trip, how ever. Boxers Take Trip Coach Rowe and his boxers will pack up Thursday or Fri day for their first trip of the year, going up to Blacksburg to meet the Gobbler mit team. Lit tle is known of the strength of V. P. I., but the Tar Heels are expecting to meet some stiff op position. ' By Saturday the in jured and sick members of the Tar Heel squad should be back in shape barring injury this week, and it is , likely that they will be in top form for these fights. Matmen to Make Home Debut The wrestling team will make its first home appearance Satur day when the V. P. I. grapplers come here to meet Coach Quin lan's outfit. The matmen have been working , hard at the Tin Can since returning from the bouts with the Navy, pointing to the opening home contest, but several of the grapplers have been handicapped by colds, ahd the team is .not in the best of condition.; University of Virginia will Play six Southern Conference football games next year in ad dition to minor games and two invasions of the North to meet Columbia and Harvard. Seventeen Teams Undefeated In Intramural Cane Race A t End Of Second Week Of Play Due to the entry of five more teams, two of whom have per fect records, the end of the sec ond week of intramural basket ball race finds seventeen teams, two more than last week, tied for first Dlace with a nprfpof record thus far. Graham leads both leagues with four victories and no defeats. In the dormitory league Gra ham is closely followed by Ruf fin and Aycock,' with three vic tories, New Dorms and" Ques tion 'Marks, with two victories, and the Best. House with one j win. Three teams, Everett, the Independents, and Manguml have .500 percentages with two wins and two defeats. . In the fraternity league elev en teams have perfect percent ages with the A. T. O.'s. Phi Gam's, and T. E. P.'s leading the way , with three victories. Six ADVANTAGES OF TRACK POINTED UtlrfrZER Four Benefits Cited; Foundation For Track Season Laid Dur ' ing Winter Quarter. Editors Note: This is the first of a series of letters from head coaches of athletics in the University, presenting reasons why there should be campus-wide participation in athletics by students. Coach Bob Fetzer in the letter which follows calls on the, stu dents, "who are not actively en gaged in some other form of athletic participation,", to come out for track. "Now is the time to report for practice," he says, "for the foundation of the track season is laid during the winter quarter." . i , It is the policy of the Univer sity Athletic Association to con duct .training periods in all sports, preliminary to the regu lar seasons, so that students with undeveloped talent . may have an opportunity to perfect their ability prior to the open ing of. inter-collegiate competi tion. Off-season drills are now being held in both track and football, and it is with this pur pose in mind that Coach Fetzer writes this letter. To the students of the Univer sity: Track should appeal to every student in the University, who is not already actively engaged in some form of athletic partici pation. Among other advant ages, track athletics offers : first, recreational exercise under the most healthful out-of-door con ditions ; second,, a program in cluding fourteen different events, therefore an event for practically any physical or tem permental qualification ; third, an opportunity for the develop ment of the individual; fourth, a sport in which you can make your practice hours conform to your own schedule ; and nnaiiy a sport in which the "sky is the limit," where you can measure your ability and skill with the performances of the world's best athletes. We need men in all the four teen events. If you have the in terest and enthusiasm, the pat ience4 and persistence, and the determination to work hard even in the face of discouragements, you are practically assured of success in track athletics. But, now is the time to report for practice. The foundation of the track season is laid during the winter quarter. In addition to. the necessity of starting now for the spring season, the Soutn ern Conference Indoor Meet which, will be held at the-University on March 7th, offers a real objective for winter work. R. A. FETZER, Director of Athletics and Head Track Coach. teams, the Sigma Zeta's, Beta's, K. A.'s, Sigma Chi's, Phi Sig, and Zeta Psi's, have two games, while the Phi Delt's and Sigma Ep's nave won one each. The Deke's and Chi Phi's have per centages of .667, showing two wins and one defeat each to take second place. I The Independents are leading the dormitory league in total scoring with 152 points, al though their record shows only two wins as against two losses. Graham and Ruffiri are staging a close race for second place with 109 and 105 points respectively, although Graham has played one more game than Ruff in. ' In in dividual scoring Cromartie, of the Independents; leads the way to . the rest of the field with forty-two points accumulated in three games.' Grindstaff, of (Continued on page four) TAR HEELS TAKE UP HEAVY WORE ON GRID MONDAY Initial Scrimmage Probably To . Get Underway Wednesday; Schedule to Follow. The spring well ' known blues of f optball--initial heavy j work- will face the Tar . Heels as the second week of spring football is ushered in Monday afternoon. ; "Get your injuries tapped up, men, .because we're going to start heavy work Monday," was Collins' final admonition to the squad Friday, stating, also that a repiste would be granted Sat urday. , t Turning out Wednesday for the initial call, ninety-odd grid ders havQ.been sent through lim bering up exercises and the fun damentals, of pass receiving and shifting through the week. The most notable change seen in the present Carolina system was effected Thursday when the Notre Dame shift was added to the present backfield cur ricula. Though Collins was non- commital a!s to the use thai! the shift would : see through next fall, it will be used" and prac ticed extensively, through spring work. It is probable that the system will be installed, pend ing its effectiveness during the spring practice. First scrimmage sessions will probably be conducted Wednes day, after which teams will be chosen and the regular spring schedule begun. From the ninety candidates, four or six teams will be formed, given names arid plays of Caro lina t opponents, and pitted against each other in weekly games over a period of six or eight weeks.' LIPSCOMB GIVEN AWARD FOR ALL AMERICA CHOICE In recognition of mention on the 1930 All-American football team, Ned Lipscomb, Carolina center, received yesterday from the All-American board a card verifying the selection. Lipscomb, along with Johnny Branch, and Jim Magner, re presented the Tar Heels in this year's selection, the three being listed for honorable mention in the south. The board responsible for the selection of the team included: Howard Jones, Knute Rockne, W. A. Alexander, and several prominent coaches and grid enthusiasts. 7 lis A BOTH TAR HEEL BOXING TEAMS DEFEAT CADETS Varsity Wins Six to One, Taking Three of the Fights by Knockouts. FROSH GET 4-3 DECISION Coach Rowe's Men in Excellent Form; Biggs Loses After Putting Up Hard Fight. Packing murder with . their punches, the Tar Heel varsity and freshman boxing teams cap tured a double bill from the V. M. I. Cadets at the Tin Can last night, the varsity winning 6-1, and the f reshmen leading 4-3. The freshmen won two fights by knockouts, and the '. varsity copped three bouts by the K. 0. method. In the bantamweight bout in which boys mixed it up freely, Duane.(V. M. I.) rallied in the final round to take the verdict from Biggs. Levinson (U. N. C.) won hands down to take the decision from Captain Buck (V. M. I.) in the featherweight class. The V. M. I. captain was groggy throughout the third round but Levinson was unable to put him away. ' ' Captain Goodridge gave the Tar 'Heels a 2-1 lead by easily defeating Doyle in the light weight thriller. Goodridge re peated last week's performance by refusing to knock but Doyle. " Dale Holderness made an aus picious debut being awarded a technical knockout over Eppes (V." M. I.) in the second round, the referee stopping the fight. The Tar Heel welter floored Ep pes in the opening session but the bell saved him. - Obie Davis todk the middle weight fight from Mason by a technical knockout in the third round as the V. M.

Seaman kept Sandy Daineron well covered during the game, but was removed near the end because of four personal fouls. Palmer scored six field goals in the contest.. This pic ture was taken last fall when he was playing stellar ball at one of the flanks on the V. P. I. foot ball team. asis Of Football Is Fault Of Crowd Barry Wood, Harvard quar terback and captain for 1931, believes that big crowds are the reason for over emphasis of football. Wood in addition to being a letterman in football, baseball, tennis and hockey is also a Phi Beta Kappa man. "Most of Harvard's overem phasis," Wood said, "can be (found in the stadium and not s down on the playing field. Gra duates and other supported of the JHarvard team are even more disturbed about the out- come of a game than the players f I I t i I 1: M themselves, most of whom Py ; showimJ up wellj but lacks ex for the fun of the the game." j perienCe.

"The pressure on a player' he explained, "is greater in foot ball than in any other sport be cause a gridiron mistake is gen erally much more costly than an error in baseball or a slip in hockey.

WRESTLING C ill Marion Cowper Confined to In firmary With Flu Since Navy MeeL ALBRIGHT INJURES BACK Dependable Veteran Is Beln Treated Daily to Get in Shape for V. P. I. Card. Just when everything was be ginning to look rosy for him, Coach Chuck Quinlan ran into some more hard luck with his varsity grapplers. Two of his first string men, Mayne Albright and Marion Cowper, have been forced out of work for an inde finite length of time. Soon after the team returned from the Navy meet Cowper went down with influenza and has not been able to workout at all this week. Cowpers ab sence will be felt keenly for the veteran 175 pounder has looked good in both his matches this I winter and is being depended on for his share of the points against the strong Southern Con ference teams who will be met during the remainder of the sea- son. Albright, another dependable veteran, suffered an injury to his back Thursday and his been un able to do more than take light exercises since. .The injury is being treated daily and it is hoped that he will .be in shape again for the V. P. I. meet. . Coach Quinlan hopes to have both boys ready to throw against the Gobblers, but may find it ne cessary to use two untried men in his line up. In the 135 pound class," C. H. Allison will proh ably replace Albright, although there is a possibility that Coach Quinlan will make some other shift. Allison is a holdover from last year's squad and has been showing up well this win ter.' ' Should Cowper fail to regain his old form in time for the Gobbler meet, Fred Ferguson, veteran, will probably be brought down to Cowper's class with Ken Hampton going into the unlimited division. Fer guson has not been weighing much above the 175 pound limit and should have very little trouble getting down to weight. Hampton, Ferguson's alternate in the unlimited class has been j shown impr0Ved form during the - f wppt, a arfi in cood con- Stallings, Harry Tsumas, Pete Usher, and Don Conklin con tinue to look good. . Purdue lost Murphy, Boots and Harmeson from the champion ship basketball team of , last year but still has Johnny Wood en, all-American floor guard. Cornell, for the first time in its football history, was victor ious over both Pennsylvania and Princeton, has, only awarded 16 letters to its record-breaking squad. Of this number ; only four went to backs, an unusual situation under the present rules. who muffs a forward or fumbles is harshly judged by the crowd and forced to bear a heavy share of the blame for a defeat."
