Tar Heels Must Topple
'Cats to Remain in
Big Five Race
Close Game Is Expected from
Improved Presbyterians.
Carolina's White Phantoms
will swing back into Big Five
competition tonight, taking on
the Davidson Wildcats in the Tin
Can at 8:30 o'clock.
Entering the home stretch of
the fight for the state champion
chin. Carolina is in a tie with
State and Duke for the leader
ship; so it needs to make every
j game a win in order to stay in
the race.
'Cats Dangerous v
The Wildcats on the other
hand have yet to get liheir first
victory in the Big Five despite
being a fairly strong club. The
Davidson clubs have always
proved , dangerous to the Tar
Heels and Coach Shepard espe
cially fears the 'Cats this year.
- In the first meeting . between
the, two teams fthe Phantoms
came out ahead, 36-26, but only
after the Jast Davidson quint
had put up a stubborn fight.
Peabody, guard, led the play
of the Wildcats with three field
goals for six points,' while
Latcher Webster, starting his
first varsity game for Carolina,
took the place of the sick Glace
' and was the big gun for his club ;
the center dropped in 13 points.
l However, now the Wildcats
will flash a new lineup which has
! taken on polish and finish and
is reported much stronger than
the five that faced Carolina some
time ago.
Coach Bo Shepard sent his
charges through a long drill yes
terday in the Tin Can. The
Imam part of the practice was
taken up in a scrimmage with
khe Tar Baby first team.
After the battle with David
son the Phantoms will have to
start preparing for the clash
with Duke Saturday night.
Duke Ekes Out Win
Durham, Feb. 12. Duke's
Blue Devils managed to eke
out a close 35-34 victory to
night over a surprisingly
strong and fast Davidson
Wildcat five. This win places
Duke in a triple tie with State
and Carolina for top honors in .
the Big Five.

FRESHMAN PUGS
READY FOR IMPS
If Shores and Farrar Get - To
gether, Ace Bout Expected;
O'Herron. Is in Shape. ,
With the Duke meet just
around the corner the yearling
mittmen got down to serious
work yesterday in preparation
for their hardest fights of the
year. The program tomorrow
night will provide many inter
esting and thrill-packed bouts.
The foremost of these will
undoubtedly be, if they actually
meet, the Shores-Farrar get-together.
Farrar is reputed to be
one of the first three leading
amateurs m his weight in the
entire country, while the Tiger
enjoys quite a good reputation
around these parts. Shores went
through a hard workout yester
day,, taking on Fisher and
O Flaherty in three rounds of
fast fighting.
x. O'Horron in Shape
Ed O'Herron also is primed to
give his best. O'Herron's only
present fault is that he is not ag
gressive enough but he offsets
this by his accurate counter
punching. Yesterday he came
up against Fisher for two rounds
and put up a creditable showing.
In the first round O'Herron
traded his expert opponent
punch for punch. But the fast
first stanza took a lot out of him
and Fisher was able to get to
him iwith several telling blows
in the second.
Ed Oliver looked like a dif
ferent fighter against Novich in
his practice bout. He has de
veloped a fairly good jab, which j
annoyed Novich no little.
The last fight of the day pit
ted Charley Benton against Bart
Lee in a slugfest which was
stopped only because the ring
had to be moved for the high
school matches. Benton was in
fine form and staggered Lee
several times with wicked upper
cuts. MURAL ENTRIES
Entries for both intramural,
bowling and table tennis must
be made this week in the Gra
ham Memorial office or in the
game room.
Hawthorne
Mile with Such Aces as Cunning
ton Tiger in races won from each
other, 3-all. '
Last year in these New York
Athletic Club games, Bonthron
won, but barely did. The big
three were shoulder to shoulder
just ten yards, from the tape.
At the finish the Tiger lunged
forward to break the tape, but
Cunningham was so close behind
that no difference in their times
could be determined. Venzke
was only one short step behind.
These three meet this Satur
day. Either man is favored to
come through, while Williamson
and Nv are ranked the dark
horses.
Tom Hawthorne will also
make the journey to New York
for the invitational 60-yard higfy
hurdles. Sixteen men have been
invited, including Percy Beard
Last year John Collier of Boston
A. A. was the winner with the
time of 7.4 seconds. During the
qualifying rounds he tied the
world record and a Grain in the
finals he. equalled the mark.

TEAMS IN RETURN CLASH
Gunning for its twelfth vic
tory of the season,, the frosh
quintet engages the yearling
teamfrom Davidson tonight in
the preliminary game to the
varsity clash. Game time is
scheduled for 7 :15.
Three weeks ago, the Tar Ba
bies crushed the Baby David
sonians under a 43-22 count in
the final game of their three-
game trip into the vicinity of
Charlotte.
The team went through a light
practice yesterday afternoon
and are primed for their oppo
nents. Potts and Mullis will
again team at forwards. They
both were impressive against
Wake Forest.
Meroney will be at center and
the guard positions will fall to
Earl Ruth and either Foy Grubb
or .Bill- Franks. Grubb has been
ill recently and Franks, who
started against Wake Forest,
may play again.
The entire team worked as an
offensive unit . against Wake
Forest and presented an oiled
machine on tne attacK. a con
tinuance of this style is hoped
for in their remairiing games
which include the all important
battles wth Duke and State.
The Baby Imp game has been
shifted to this Friday night and
will 4be played as a preliminary
to the varsity wrestling matches
with Davidson.
Tar Heel Mittmen
Preparations
KANNER IS IN FINE
SHAPE; MAY FIGHT
Entire Boxing Team in Excel
lent Condition for Tough Meet
In Durham Tomorrow.
GIDDINS VS. MATULAWICZ
In four rounds of heavy box
ng, the rangy Murray Kanner
gave evidence of a real zest to
tumble the strong Duke heavy
tomorrow night. Kanner was
forced to report late for the
squad because of winter foot
ball. However, he is now in
superb condition.
Yesterday afternoon Kanner
boxed his first two rounds with
Dr. Meno Spann. Kanner's long
left is working to perfection
and with this left jab, he should
have no trouble in keeping the
Duke man away from him. In
the second set of rounds, Jack
Lowe stepped in as a sparring
mate. Lowe tried hard to get
inside but Kanner was too big
for him.
' Diehl Favored
Marion Diehl, clever little
bantamweight, worked out with
the frosh. featherweight, Bass.
He looked good as he flashed his
utfual form and. cunning. Diehl
is meeting a good , man in the
Duke bantam, Alderman, and
will have to be on the alert
throughout the scrap.
Johnnie Edwards is also go
ing to meet a good man from the
Blue Devil camp, taking on
Kniepp in the lightweight class.
. Ernie Eutsler is slated to meet
Freddie Lloyd in the 125-pound
class. Eutsler has been improv
ing in every start and bigthings
are expected of him tomorrow
night.
Joe Fisher looked good as he
stepped through his paces with
the yearling O'Herron in yester
day's matinee workout. Fisher
is pitted against McCall in the
welterweight clajss and in his
present shape should have no
difficulty in taking the verdict

Jule Medynski and Al Mann

hard battle with Medynski's
hand being raised at the finish.
This year a new Medynski will
face Mann.
Captain Sam Giddins is to
tackle Ray. Matulawicz m the
middleweight class. : This con
test should be a close one as both
boys have a great deal of respect
for each other's ability.
The light heavyweight class
will send Maxie Novich, color-
ful Tar Heel scrapper, against yesterday's play in the intra
Schmidt of the Blue Devils. No-

Efland has fought such bril
liant men as Currence of V. M.

The Raleigh and Wilson high
school boxing teams ended a.
merry twTo-day battle for the
North Carolina interscholastic
chamnionshin here last pvflnincr
in the Tin City with the capital
city boys taking the title by su
14 to 12 1-2 margin. This was
Raleigh's third win and gave it
permanent possession of the tro
phy. .
The winners took three in
dividual crowns to a pair each
for Wilson and Greensboro, and

, Crown Assured -Raleigh
was assured the vic
tory after the 155-lb class, in
which Stronach' defeated Sin
clair of, Wilson by a safe margin.
The first round was even, but
the eventual winner's effective
blows gave him the verdict.
To Patterson of Greensboro-
went the honor of the sole knock
out win for the finals as he fin- -jshed
Browning of Raleigh in 45
seconds oi tne opening rounds
He quickly floored Browning"
with a hard left to the head and:
followed that with a heavy bar
rage of blows that sent the Ral
eigh youth to the canvas for the
second and final time.
Close Decision
The only questionable decision
of the finals came in the open
ing contest, when Dempsey of
Wilson, was given the verdict
over little Joe Thomas of Wil
mington. Thomas, standing at
least a head shorter than his op
ponent, carried the fight the en
tire way, continually scoring
with hard blows to the head and
body, and taking the last two
rounds by apparently wide mar- .
gins.
Showing the effects of too
much recent fighting and sport
ing a pair of blackened eyes
Captain ,"Duck" Diehl, Charlotte,
high's Golden Gloves runner
up, was in too tired a condition
to do battle with Wright of Ra
leigh and lost a game match icy
the capital city entrant.-
Despite the fact that they did'
not get very far along in the
tournament, Rigsbee, Smith and'
the two McCauley boys, all of'
Chapel Hill, received consider
able praise for their endeavors
These were their first attempts
in the squared circle and all
made fine showings.
