Thursday, January 4, 1031 THE DAILY TAR .HEEL .Pass Tite Mite inaanto Rumors Of Next Carolina Coaeli Are Without Foundation Of Fact COACH AND THREE VETERANS- lin CI C3 Coach "Bo" Shepard's Caro lina "White Phantoms" inaugu rated their 1934 basketball sea son with a brilliant 33-2S vic tory over the Clemson "Tigers" last night in the Tin Can. Around 2500 fans packed the gigantic athletic plant to see the opener. From the outset the game was close with the Tar Heel quint showing a slight superiority over the invading Southern Con ference foe. Once in the first half Clemson led 7-6 and a brace of times during the second period when the going looked hard the "Tigers" led the Caro lin club. But the Tar Heels snap ped out of their lethargy, rally ing late in the last half to gain a substantial margin. Pennington Stars Clyde Pennington, lanky Clemson sophomore forward, copped the scoring honors with five field goals. This 'Tiger" for ward repeatedly brought the crowd to their feet with his un canny one hand shots. Trailing Pennington closely were Jim Mc Cachren, Tar Heel soph guard, and Virgil Weathers, Carolina's all-southern senior forward, both with nine points. Mc Cachren gained four field goals and one foul toss while Weathers set some sort of record from the gratis line with seven free throws and one field goal. The first score in the 1934 Carolina cage campaign went to Jim McCachren shortly after start of play when the Charlotte youth came through with a sparkling running shot under the basket. "Snooks" Aitken vied for honors as a classy sharpshooter. In the last half, , Aitken came xushing down the courts stopping shortly outside the foul line to drop in a beauti ful long shot which went through the basket without so much as touching the rim. McCachrens Feature To the McCachren brothers went the honors for brilliant de fensive work on the Carolina five. "Jason" Glace showed marked improvement in his all round play, hitting the basket for a trio of field goals and a pair of free tosses. The Carolina defense was spotty, rising at times to great heights and then lapsing into weak moments which all but cost the Tar Heels the game. The "passing was rough, but it was the first game of the year and allowances must be made. Summary : Carolina G Aitken, f 3 Weathers, f 1 Glace, c . 3 J. McCachren, g .4 (C) D. McCachren, g 2 Ft.

FIGHTERS GIVEN SUFTWORIOUTS BY 0A(S ROM Opening Match Is With V P. L Here Saturday, January 13; ,.j Squad Small Yesterday. With just a little over a week left before the opening match with V. P. I. here Satur day, January 13, Coach Cray ton Rowe started his boxing prospects through some stiff workouts yesterday afternoon in the Tin Can. Only a small squad reported yesterday but the, rest of the boxers are expected to get in ac tion today. Coach Rowe put most of the mitmen in the ring during the long session. Nearly all of the boys show signs of the need of plenty of conditioning before the first meet The lighter weights seem to be well taken care of with letter men ready to go in the first four lower divisions. Cliff Glover, last year's regular, is the lead ing candidate for the 115-pound class but is having lots of com petition in Pete Ivey and Ernest Eutsler. Jimmy Williams, after a year layoff, has been coming back strong and is the likely man to do the fighting at the featherweight post. Williams made his letter in the bantam weight division in 1932. Quarles Is Set Norment Quarles, . the only Southern Conference champion, is all set to go in the 135-pound class. Quarles is the outstand ing man on the squad, having won the featherweight title with ease last winter. Nat Lump kin, a veteran of two years, is the' leading prospect for the TCPlterweight position. Sam Giddens, the fifth letter- man returning, will take care oi one of the upper four weights, depending on his weight. Marty Ellisburg, freshman sensation last year, is a fine prospect for one of the heavier weights. Marvin Ray and James Carruth are the outstanding men at present for the top two divi sions. - - v . f i I t i : : I f ; - . . v s f- ' ' j; t I . ....... .... ? f" ' 1 I . I . .: -. . -.. v.-. .

Is Sponsor Of State Programs Members of the local Y. M. C. A. made use of their holidays in preparing and presenting depu tation programs in several cities over the state. In each case the program was put on by home town boys. Charlotte boys pre sented three programs. Those in Wilmington, Fayetteville, Winston-Salem and Asheville staged programs in their re spective cities. "Jesus and the Spirit of Christmas" was the 'subject of the leading discussion on each program. Dickens! "Christmas Carol" was narrated and Bible selections suited for the Christ mas season were read. There was special Christmas music al so. The program intended to be presented in itocky Mount was postponed until the winter quar ter when, the Rocky Mount "Y" thought, it will be more success ful.

Friday 3 V ' 7 1 f ' - , ! ! - i , . -i JOHN BARRY5IORE BEBE DANIELS in "Counsellor at Law" WOBKRENEOT) BYTRACKSTERS Track Squad to Go Through In tense Practices Preparing For Tonh Schedule. Intense winter track practice, which began several weeks be fore the holidays,-will be renew ed this week with more vigor than ever before. The, early practices this season are centered on developing new material to back up the few stars remaining from last year's con ference champions. The nucleus of the squad is composed of thirteen lettermen, and the new men who show up in the winter work-outs will be the ones who complete the team. The remaining prospects are divided rather equally among all the events, although the high jump appears to be the weakest. The pole vaulters have been working hard to round into shape. Last season's champion squad lost nine stars through gradu ation and failure to return to school. Seven graduated: Hub bard, Stafford, Cordie, Mullis, Chandler, Smith, and Hamlet. Higby, letter holder, and Napier, promising sophomore, failed to return to school. This season's squad has as the outstanding men who are ex pected to bring home the bacon the following: Guilders, Gunter, Fox, and Williamson in the sprints, 440, and 880; McRae, H. and L. Sullivan, and Waldrop in the distance running; Aber nathy and Hawthorne in the hurdles; Jackson and McDonald, pole vaulters; Bob Reid in the high jump ; LeGore and Armfield in the javelin toss ; and Schmuk ler, discus. ' Prospects look fairly well so far for the coming season pro viding these experienced men keep up their good work and the newcomers develop well. On the 1934 schedule are William and Mary, Navy, Virginia, Duke, and the state and conference meets. There is a possibility of a dual meet with Dartmouth. Frosh Practice Tonight Carolina's freshman basket ball squad will start work to night in the Tin Can for its hard schedule. The team is un der the direction of Coach Sandy Dameron and practice will be gin at 7 :15 o'clock. A Charles Farrell Marguerite Churchill Charlie Ruggles Gregory Ratoff OTHER UNITS Musical Comedy, "Girl Trouble Paramount News NOW PLAYING No Names Are Given by Authorities; Council Meets Monday. Newspaper rumors that the field of prospective candidates for head football coach at Caro lina has been narrowed to any one man are without foundation in fact, Athletic Director R. A. Fetzer said last night Coach Fetzer, who attended the athletic meetings in Chicago during the holidays, returned to the. office. only yesterday. The University athletic direc tor stated that he and Dr. Foy Roberson interviewed a "num ber of candidates of promise" while in Chicago but denied that any selection had been made or could be made until the next meeting of the Athletic council. This meeting is scheduled for next Monday night, when Mr. Fetzer and Dr. Roberson, the latter of whom is one of three alumni members, will report their findings along with any opinions they may have reached. Mr. Fetzer intimated that the field of candidates had not been narrowed beyond what was done at the last meeting of the coun cil. At that time the council was understood to have pared the list of more than 50 appli cants to approximately ten men. The group is said to contain several men with considerable experience and excellent records as college coaches. All names were withheld, however, lest some of the "men be prejudiced who are satisfactorily located at present. The retiring Coach Fetzer even inquired if his name couldn't be withheld from this story. He consented to its being used only when it was .explain ed that names rnde news and that there would ;be no story but for his .trip and .interview ing. Mr. Fetzer's statements will only increase vthe speculation of students and ;alumni, whose in terest in the selection .has mount ed higher and jhigher since the council declined to jrenew the contract ,of rChuek Collins, who taught the Notre Dame system here from 1926 through the 1933 season. Rumor has Jinked .the name of scores of coaches with ,the job, but athletic .officials .have stead fastly maintained . their policy of making no official statements and of neither confirming nor denying any rumored appointments. - - It's an art with iier and she's what makes art so in teresting.
